Swan Lodge Castle Farm

Absolutely stunning location, the views are spectacular with a great view of the Tor!

The lodge is light, airy, and very comfortable and we loved the hot tub! There are lots of lovely places to visit within easy reach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would love to visit again!

Simply perfect.

Such a beautiful place, with lovely views and the free roaming animals topped it off.

Owners are lovely!

no issue was too much trouble. Came to fix our hot tub at 11pm. Only issue was the heat, cant be helped and fans are provided. Also, bring some bug spray as mosquitos tend to fly in. However, its a beautiful Lodge with two alpacas and tiny ponies for neighbours

Lovely well equipped lodge set in beautiful peaceful countryside with views.

We can’t wait to retu4n!

Lodge excellent, peace and quite very good, near to attractions very good.

But - no instruction on use of induction hob (never used one) and some chipped crockery distracted overall experience. We had booked for our dog and thought we would be able to let her in the garden but one of the alpacas was freely roaming which restricted her movement. The alpaca had also left a pile of poo (it pooed in the same place every day) in centre of lawn which our dog tried to roll in. Not good!

Perfect little getaway.

.far enough out to have complete peace but close enough to always find something to do,immaculate lodges with everything you need

Absolutely wonderful stay.

Location was perfect for us, we loved walking along the moors. The hosts were really friendly and helpful, we really loved having our Alpaca neighbours wandering around in the mornings ❤️

[+] Lovely situation with great views over the levels towards Glastonbury Tor.

Hot tub on deck was great. Enclosed area for dog and plenty of additional walking space worked well. Lodge was comfortably warm. Essential equipment available. Host pleasant and useful local knowledge. [-] Some of chairs not as comfortable as others (e.g. dining chairs). Could have used a couple more bin bags and toilet rolls.

Stunning lodge in every way!

Swan Lodge is in a beautiful location with huge windows giving views across the farm to the Somerset Levels up to Glastonbury Tor.

The hot tub was a definite bonus, private but when you are in it you can make the most of the lovely countryside view. The location is ideal for visiting the area. We all enjoyed the lodge, my only complaint is we found the furniture seats too wide to sit comfortably and I had to use one of our camping chairs. Cushions would help, we will go again and take some big cushions with us because it was a really great place to stay.

Amazing lodge.

Very spacious, comfy beds, fully equipped with everything we needed (and more), perfect quiet location (not far in a car from beaches and amenities) with outstanding countryside views. Gated patio for our dog to keep her safe, hot tub is great - property is very well maintained. We had a fantastic stay. Couldn’t have asked for a better lodge or owners.

Jo and Neil are probably the best hosts we have met, very helpful easy to converse with and very friendly overall to help make the stay as best it can be.

The property was excellently prepared for us and the facilities and cleanliness was fist class. A very superb hot tub loved by the whole family, checked daily for correct levels and purification.

The property it's self is amazing it's as plenty of space.

It could do with a coffee machine ,but also you could possibly change the mattress on the double bed and king size bed as they were very hard probably would benefit from memory foam ones specifically for people that as bad back problems like myself I have had a operation on my spine I broke part of my back so I have rods keeping the spine together and I found it very difficult to sleep in the bed so I sat on the lay out bit on the sofa and I slept there sitting up.but other then a few things I picked up there was dust on the skirting board behind the bathroom door upstairs and strands of hair the spar was amazing helped with my back pain but it is a great property and I would love to go back in the near future thank you for a lovely holiday at your property and I look forward to go back again .it was my partner who paid for the holiday he don't want his name put there so but mine as i have booked with you before a couple of years ago at Norfolk, so please put Tracey

A beautiful holiday property with helpful hosts.

Greet for a family gateway.

I did not visit the property myself my ratings are based on what my son has told me.

They loved the lodge but it was frustrating to have so much grass around and not to be able to let the children out to play on it because of the alpacas' poo. A bbq would have been nice.

Top class lodge loved our stay alpacas in our garden every day highly recommended

We had an amazing stay at the cottage and will definitely visit again.

Jo and Neil were very friendly and they allowed us to sit in the harrier jet- which made my son's day. The cottage was really neat and tidy, every little thing was thought through including the little fans in the bedrooms. We spent our Christmas there, the handmade Christmas tree was really really cute. We enjoyed every minute of the hot tub. If you are looking for a quite holiday with amazing views Swan is cottage for you.

The property was clean and ready to use as soon as we arrived, the instructions for the key was clear and precise.

The beds were clean and comfortable and the addition of a Christmas tree was very pleasing The owner was polite and helpful

We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this lodge.

We visit Somerset often to visit family and this is by far the best place we have stayed in. The lodge is comfortable and warm with everything you need for your stay.

A great place.

Views across the countryside to Glastonbury Tor are stunning. Comfortable lodge. Hot tub topped it off! My son even got to sit in the Harrier. Very friendly owners.

A really lovely place to stay and relax.

Everything provided and very comfortable. Great hot tub with fabulous views over the countryside and a dark sky if not cloudy. Loved seeing the alpacas in the field across the fence. Owners really friendly and we enjoyed going to see the Harrier Jump Jet!! Would recommend the lodge. Also a great base to explore beautiful Somerset.

We had a fantastic stay at swan lodge.

Everything was clean and tidy. The accomdation was well equipped. It was peaceful and a relaxing get away. Plenty things to do near by for familys and dog friendly.

Very clean, excellent home!

A very comfortable holiday home, we felt very relaxed and safe.

The hot tub was amazing to come back to after our daily adventures. The property is is based perfectly which meant we could reach Cheddar, Burnham, Glastonbury and Wookey within 25 mins in the car. We did a walk to Wedmore aswell, which took 40 mins, a lovely village. The beds were nice and firm (could have done with summer tog duvets though, as the property gets very warm on hot days). The owners were lovely and welcoming and let us view the Jet on Sunday morning. The grounds were well kept and clean and each lodge has designated garden space which meant we could play football and cricket without a bother to others. We used the washing machine and clothes airer provided, very handy. Definitely recommend this property to others, we had a blast!

Swan lodge was a lovely place to stay.

The views were amazing, we loved the hot tub, the house was very warm and the beds cosy. There is no bath but we managed fine travelling with a 3yr old. The animals are friendly and the kids loved it. Space for 2 cars easily. Lovely hosts who own a plane you can sit in on a Sunday. The space was slightly snug for 6 but we loved it none the less. Loads to do in the local area. A great stay!!

These are beautiful lodges in a wonderfull setting.

Despite there being 4 lodges they are very carefully arranged to ensure no one is overlooked. I'm very sensitive to noise, but we didn't hear a murmur from the other 3 lodges throughout our stay. The lodges have great views and are finished and furnished to a very high specification, with everything you need for a plesant stay. The hot tubs are large and sturdy and Jo quietly services them every morning. Castle farm will definately be our first choice when we stay in this area again.

A very beautiful and well thought through lodge in the most idyllic setting .

If you want to get away from it all then this is the perfect place. Easily catered for 4 adults and 2 children very spacious and comfortable for all ages. Added luxury with the Hot Tub - there is nothing to dislike apart from the M5 getting there

The property was not clean.

Dust and cobwebs on every wall and ceiling. We moved a coffee table to play a card game and found a moulding banana on the floor along side a thick layer of hair, dust, and more cobwebs. The fridge had an incredibly loud humm but did not work. Mattresses were awfully hard to lay on. May aswel have slept on the floor. All of the doors could use some oil on the hinges, very loud when opening and closing. Ideal location and a stunning property with amazing views nonetheless. Upkeep could be a lot better.

Great stay and incredible view's.

The owners Neil and Jo made our stay extra special and very welcoming as we requested a banner and balloons for a very special occasion. The location is rural and very quiet you would need a car to visit various places and get the most out of your stay. The local shops are approximately 15 minutes drive and if walking 30 to 45 minute, however I would recommend driving to make the most of your stay.

I can't rate this property more highly.

Property was extremely clean, fresh and comfortable and overlooked the most beautiful view. Jo was friendly and helpful, and the dogs gorgeous, gentle and friendly (one of my group is very wary of dogs but totally fell for Billy!). Easy access to Cheddar, Glastonbury, the Tor, Wells and Avalon Marshes nature reserve which is perfect for an easy cycle or birdwatching - IF you can drag yourself away from the peace of the lodge's terrace with its stunning views.

My only negative comment about the lodge would be that the living room furniture was quite grubby and worn and could do with being updated.

Otherwise it was a wonderful break. The view from the patio area is one to savour. The beds were comfortable, plenty of towels provided and a fan for each room was also provided. An added bonus was getting to see and sit in the owners decommissioned Sea Harrier...something you'd not normally get a chance to do. Another highlight was the daily visit from Billy the dog who brought his ball to play fetch. The lodge is very well located for various local places of interest and most importantly very peaceful and quiet. The only real noises we heard were the cows mooing and the Buzzards screeching...both were wonderful to hear. We'd most certainly return if we ever visit Somerset again.

Well what can we say.

..an absolutely beautiful lodge with views to die for. I have literally spent hours both in the morning and evening just taking in the beautiful views ( photos do not do the scenery justice). We stayed with our 2 children and grandparents and we all wanted for nothing. Both children were mesmerised by Billy the dog. What an absolutely beautiful and friendly dog. Both children now want a collie!! Alpacas, ponies, sheep all at the end of the garden..so quiet and peaceful and my Husband/children loved sitting in the harrier..what a fantastic piece of history. We will most definitely be back , daughter would love to come back to see Billy for her birthday. Jo and Neil are lovely people we would highly recommend staying here.

The lodges at Castle Farm were wonderful.

Very light and spacious and the setting was stunning, so peaceful and quiet with the most amazing views of the Glastonbury Tor (10 miles away). The owners were very Friendly and were only a phone call away if you needed them. A hi light of the holiday were the owners dogs Rosie and Billie!! Billie was the most Friendly happy dog I have ever met and would turn up in the garden a few times a day with his ball for us to throw for him. We were lucky we had a week with warm sunny weather that was the icing on the cake. PERFECT. We will be back to visit this beautiful hidden gem. Thank you

We had an amazing stay at Swan Lodge, what a beautiful location and so easy to get to everywhere.

Billy made our holiday, what an amazing dog that he is!!

Lovely lodge, we enjoyed the hot tub overlooking beautiful countryside.

Beds were very comfortable, and everything we needed was supplied. Owners very friendly and helpful. Quiet location. We were a family of six and we had plenty of room. Loved the animals in the field. All in all a clean, comfortable stay.

Lovely property, the photos of the views don’t do them justice.

Very relaxing spot and very clean. Nice location as you can visit attractions in all directions, which gives you a variety of views as you travel. Plenty to do. Fabulous bathrooms, and the hot tub was a real treat. The sofa could have done with a couple of cushions to make it comfortable, had to use the pillows off the bed.

Well equipped and very comfortable.

An excellent base from which to explore the surrounding countryside. The addition of some cards/games would have been welcomed along with more accurate details of walks from the property.

We all loved the Lodge.

It was spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean and set in a peaceful countryside location. The hot tub was most welcome after long days visiting local attractions and shopping at Clarks Village. We were 4 adults and a 12 month old little one and found the accommodation to be perfect.

Gorgeous property in a gorgeous setting.

We had such a lovey time at your property, so thank you very much.

The views were incredible, we got very lucky with the lovey weather to appreciate the surroundings! The hot tub was loved by all. The temperature was a little cooler on the second day and were unable to get it any hotter than 33 degrees but it may have been something we hadn’t done correctly? We hope you got our message re the recycling. All I all, it was perfect for us, we just wish we could’ve stayed longer. Thank you very much :)

Very comfortable and well equipped property.

The owners communicated with us before and during our stay to ensure we had everything we needed given our visit coincided with Storm Eunice and Storm Franklin.

Jack and I had the best time.

We have been in the past and we were not disappointed as it was just as amazing as the first time we visited. We made use of the hot tub every night and loved the visits we got from Billy, he is such a friendly and playful dog. We couldn’t thank Neil and Jo for their help any more, as our car broke down whilst we were down there (we’re from Preston) and we were pretty much stranded down there. They were kind enough to let us leave our car there for a scrap man to collect it, and didn’t stop there as Jo was happy to drive us to the nearest train station, which was a squeeze with all of our luggage in her mini, we made it work. We look forward to seeing the two new additions to your site when they are completed as they look amazing already. We will be back and hopefully you’ll remember us as the two who’s car broke down aha.

Really really good cottage.

Highly recommend! Neil and co are really cool! Would definitely go back Seeing the harrier jet was an absolute privilege.

Excellent lodge with amazing views and stunning sun rises.

Very peaceful location. We relaxed in the secluded hot tub every day. Very friendly owners and Billy (their lovely dog) visited us every day. Would thoroughly recommend this lodge and we hope to return sometime.

We had an amazing stay at Swan Lodge.

The cabin had everything we could have possibly needed and make our stay so nice. The added bonus of Billy coming to see us everyday was something to look forward to also. We used the hot tub every night and watched the fireworks going off in surrounding villages. We also ventured into Glastonbury and Wells. I would recommend both places to visit as they both had completely different characteristics. Our overall stay was loved by all of us and we would happily return. Thank you also to the owners who were lovely and made sure our stay was everything we needed.

We were very lucky with the weather, which was sunshine all week.

Jo and Neil are very pleasant people and Billy, the dog, is so friendly. Wedmore is a pretty village and the people are welcoming. Travelling across the Somerset Levels to places like Wells, Street and Glastonbury makes you realise just how green and pleasant England is. A very restful week in a wonderfully quiet area where there is still plenty to do.

From getting settled (asap putting bags down ) we were in heaven the lodge was fantastic everything you could want .

the views were excellent .Neil and Jo were great host and were on hand if we needed any info as to where to visit we made friends with Billy the dog who is so friendly you want take him home .as with the 3 Alpacas who just wander around doing there thing .... We will deffinatley be returning as we have found a home from home ......

Little touches on the cleanliness front as there were cobwebs and minor cleaning issues throughout, but nothing we couldn't resolve ourselves.

Upstairs bed very firm. Overall a beautiful place with amazing views, throughly enjoyed.

Everything was perfect.

Hosts were friendly. Grandchildren loved watching alpacas and Billy the dog. Would definitely recommend this property and would use it again if in the area.

We had an amazing stay.

Everything was as we expected and more and we can’t wait to return in December with friends. The hosts were amazing and very friendly.

The holiday rental was just as advertised.

The house was clean. The kitchen was well equipped. The bedding was clean . The location was so quiet and peaceful and a perfect location for cycling as well with quiet roads and beautiful scenery . The kids enjoyed the farm animals the alpacas , ponies and hens . The highlight of the trip for the kids was Billy the dog whom they enjoyed playing with. Definitely recommend this cottage for families .

Beautiful lodge, the host's were lovely, amazing views and the bottle of prosecco and cookies was such a lovely thought, we will definitely return

The lodge was fantastic and the view is phenomenal.

Lovely way to spend a few days in complete peace and quiet

This holiday lodge is fantastic, the view is spectacular and the surroundings are perfect for young families.

Especially when Billy the dog comes to play!

WOW!

this lodge was absolutely perfect! The views from the lodge are breathtaking and being able to soak in the hot tub to enjoy them was fabulous! We had an amazing time there and can not wait to come back! Billy the farm dog was such a cutie and it was so funny having his visits each time we pulled up! The hosts were fantastic and we cannot wait to come back!

We have just returned from a fantastic stay at Swan Cottage.

We enjoyed sitting back and taking in the spectacular view over to Glastonbury Tor and surrounding area. The cottage was very clean and comfortable - a real home from home! Highlights for us were relaxing the hot tub and the regular visits from the friendly farm dog Billy. One week just wasn't long enough - we are already looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely place and surroundings.

The views were an unexpected bonus, so beautiful to sit in the hot tub and watch the long shadows over the fields. The kids loved playing with Billy the playful dog every day too! Lovely and bright, but in the hot weather it’s very hot inside with no air conditioning. That would be my only upgrade suggestion!

Lovely place to stay.

The children particularly enjoyed seeing the alpacas and playing with Billy the dog. The Harrier is very impressive too!

Our stay was the perfect break!

The views are breathtaking and we loved sitting in the morning watching the sun rise-it was truly magical! The house is so clean and tidy and equipped with everything you need! Our son loved Billy the dog and the alpacas roaming in the garden! The area is so peaceful and a short drive to the town or a 25 minute walk. I would highly recommend the Swan Hotel! It’s also a short drive from Cheddar which is beautiful! Jo and Neil were so friendly and made us feel at home-thank you for the biscuits and Prosecco! We would definitely stay again!

Beautiful chalet beautiful setting owners went over and beyond due to probs with hot tub fantastic place we will be booking again soon

I went with a few of my mates to this cottage.

It was a perfect base for us to relax and unwind. Beautiful views to wake up to in the morning. Stunning starry scenes at night in the hot tub. What more could you ask for.....we loved our visit from Billy the dog! We made full use of meeting all the animals on the far. Added bonus was being able to sit in the cockpit of a Sea Hawk Harrier!! The only thing that I would say is study the route the sat Nav tries to take you down. My sat Nav took me through a field to get to the house. It was a horrid drive through the field for my car... did not sound healthy. We got stuck in the mud a few times! That road is better suited if you have a 4x4 for sure. But there is a main road that will take you to the property....my sat Nav was just adamant to destroy my car. But this is no fault of the property!! It’s google maps fault! All in all, a lovely couple of days at this cottage and I would stay again.

The holiday chalet is excellent it is well equipped, modern and comfortable.

The view over the Somerset Levels is spectacular and at sunrise can be almost mystical. There is plenty to see and do in the area and you don’t have to drive far. The hot tub is a welcome luxury after a long day sightseeing. The lovely village of Wedmore is not far away and has lots of amenities including two very nice pubs for eating.

The views were lovely and the hot tub was an excellent feature.

We had such an amazing week away!

! I spent a few weeks going through the internet to find somewhere fitting for a 40th gift to my husband, we are surrounded by nature, but wanted somewhere peaceful, homely, comfortable and clean, and with animals. We got more than we could have wanted. The owners greeted us on arrival, such a special touch, and their dog was an added bonus, we all feel in love with him... He is very playful and definitely keeps the children entertained. It’s a very clean lodge, beautiful surroundings, lovely for families, and children will LOVE it, even our teenager did, she/ and also we loved the hot tube. Be prepared for an amazing week, the Cheddar Gorge was a 30 min drive, local beaches, and lots to do as a family. We enjoyed the walk at Brean.. The property is a 20 min or less drive from the local supermarkets... Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed...

The property was excellent.

We had a fantastic break. Thank you.

Fantastic accommodation - modern, clean, comfortable with outstanding views across classic Somerset Levels countryside to Glastonbury Tor.

Friendly hosts, alpacas in the next field, and Billy the farm dog who came for frequent visits to play ball and generally say hello, all made the stay extra pleasant.

Fabulous place.

A little bit of heaven right there. Clean, organised. No problems. Thankyou

Fantastic lodge, unbelievable views.

Billy the dog was great company for our 8yr old son, and the hot tub was the icing on the cake!

An outstanding lodge and location - we didn't want to leave.

We hope to return soon.

excellent place to stay with friendly owners

Remote location with some of the best views to wake up to.

You’re left to enjoy the lodge throughout your stay without any prying eyes. The owners are available as and when you need them. The perfect short trip away!

Fantastic break, the lodge was perfect for our group of 5 adults.

It had all the ultities we needed for cooking, and the hot tub was brilliant! It’s in a rural area but lots to do within a short drive. Would highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay at Swan lodge.

Beautifully furnished and with an amazing view. Loved seeing the alpacas roaming freely and our daily visits from Billy the farm dog. The jacuzzi was a real bonus. Our hosts were brilliant, greeted us when we arrived then stayed away, but were there if you needed anything. Very friendly and accommodating. Only problem was our stay was too short! We will be returning. Thank you Jo and Neil.

Perfect

Was the perfect little get away cottage for 4 friends, we loved it.

The cottage had everything we needed to get away and relax. Very friendly owners who made sure we were all ok. Would highly recommend.

We are still suffering holiday blues from a fantastic week away at swan lodge!

The cleanliness level was immaculate and the lodge was very well equipped. The local indian restaurant delivers to the lodge, which was a very nice touch and the food was top quality. A truly perfect first holiday for our 15week old baby. Billy the dog made us feel particularly welcome too!! We would recommend this beautiful setting to anybody... Thank you Jo and Neil!

Had a brilliant time at Swan Lodge.

Loved the hot tub and amazing views. Lovely part of the country. Only thing that might have improved the stay would be to have black out blinds, but then we'd have missed the amazing sunrises...

Swan Lodge was beautifully located with incredible views, far enough away from the farmhouse to be peaceful and cleverly fenced so as to ensure privacy from the lodge next door.

The hot-tub was fantastic and definitely a highlight of the holiday, and the children were heart-broken to leave Billy, the super-friendly farmhouse dog, behind. Neil and Jo were delightful hosts and couldn't have been more welcoming. The lodge was bright, airy and impeccably clean but our 13 year old found the bunk bed too narrow to sleep in uncomfortably. The upstairs bedroom has low ceilings to either side of the bed and even my relatively short parents hit their heads several times when getting in and out of bed in the night. We also found a lack of pots and pans in the kitchen. If there had been a visitors book I would have written this feedback in it as I really didn't want to put it on here and these things shouldn't deter anyone from staying there as it really was a gorgeous place.

Fabulous lodge in beautiful setting, ideal for small children as lots to look at and enjoy.

Owners very helpful and friendly and a llosge that we will definitely look forward to returning to. You won’t get nicer accommodation, location or hosts anywhere else.

Great location with a very modern, but traditional looking, cabin.

Owners are very nice and there's a variety of friendly wildlife! Very peaceful setting.

Having just spent 6 nights at Swan Lodge, We cannot wait to return.

The facilities were excellent, far beyond our expectations. The location is perfectly peaceful, with amazing views out towards Glastonbury Tor. The images on the website simply do not do it justice. The owners, Neil and Jo are incredibly approachable, and nothing is too much trouble for them. The whole experience was just fantastic and I challenge you to find better.

Absolutely beautiful lodge, perfect surroundings and really well kitted out with everything you will need, hot tub was great and was placed perfectly looking out over the countryside and the owners were great too, stopped off to double check the hot tub and make sure the water was good half way through our stay, will definitely be staying there again

Fantastic property in an amazing location.
