You also have access to the owners front garden for dog exercise. Also lovely walks nearby along the Avon valley path. Property is all very new and finished to a high standard. Clean anRead mored well equipped. Hot tub was lovely. We had freezing weather and high winds but were warm and cozy. No dishwasher here, but hey its a wooden lodge. Hide

Simon
We absolutely loved our stay in The Lodge. The whole property was so tastefully decorated and high quality it felt completely special to be allowed to stay there. As a dog owner, it is rare to find a property that is of such quality, that welcomes and accommodates the needs of dogs and their owners. The "Boot Room" concept with dog washing and dryiRead moreng facilities is unprecedented. Cannot recommended highly enough. Hide

Judith

Carole
This place was wonderful . Wether for just a base to travel from to various places or just for a romantic retreat. Or a week of relaxation. It is truly a gem .the owners are lovely and helpful.
Glen
One of the main attractions of the lodge is the hot tub so you can relax in the evening. Only worked once. The 6 foot fench in front of you make the place feel claustrophobic which deprives you of any views of the countryside and the constant traffic noise is annoying. The lodge is nicely decorated with some lovely touches inside.
Lynn
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Lodge. Super dog friendly with a garden area at front of owners property where you can wander or sit. Cream tea on arrival & the hot tub made this place! The outdoor area is very small so maybe not suitable for larger dogs. Plenty of beautiful fields with footpaths to walk the dogs. We would recommend the 1 mil e walk to The New Queen pub, really easy but the slightly longer walk of approx 2 miles to The Woolpack was in places overgrown. Great accommodation
Margo
Really enjoyed our stay at the Lodge-very well equipped, everything high quality. Loved the hot tub made great use of it. Lots of great places nearby to visit.
Caroline
Beautiful, private, quirky lodge, In beautiful grounds. Lodge is very well thought out and very comfy. Hot tub perfect addition. Would definitely recommend and love to go back
Tim

Monkey World is not only a local attraction but the work they carry out is amazing.  Rescuing and rehabilitating monkeys and assisting governments around the world to stop the smuggling of primates are just some of the purposes of the centre.
