View to Die for at Woodcombe Lodges

Lovely and spacious lodge (we stayed in Holly Lodge). Plenty of sleeping options/configurations. Our favourite things were the stunning and sweeping views and the games room/pitch n' putt kept my kids very happy. The lodge was very clean and the grounds were immaculate too 🙂 The walks from the door were beautiful and everything/everywhere is really easily accessible from the lodges. It feels completely rural and quiet but is right on the edge of Minehead too, so best of both worlds 🙂 A lovely family get together, thank you 🙂

Wonderful Stay at Woodcombe Lodges Exmoor

The lodge was big enough to have 10 people in it. It was super clean when we arrived and the host took care to keep us informed in every step. It was a delight that he was there in person to welcome us. The view from the cabin looking into the green pastures with hundreds of sheep is as beautiful as it could be.

Simply Great Woodcombe Lodges

This was our 5th visit to woodcombe and we have stayed in Laburnum Lodge. Every time the standard that Andrew and the team have maintained has been brilliant always clean and tidy grounds, accommodation absolutely wheelchair accessible, I don’t think you can beat the location and my second dog loved it as much as the first. All round just right what ever you’re there for

Lovely Lodges in Exmoor

Super holiday in the comfortable, well equipped Cedar Lodge in a peaceful rural setting surrounded by beautiful countryside views. Games room, putting green and laundry room are great included extras. Very informative handbook listing walks from the door and even a suggested weekly itinerary if needed. Would definitely return again.

Very Well Maintained Self Catering Lodge in Exmoor

Good size lodge for a family of 4. Well equipped and looked after. Good heating and well insulated. Pretty gardens. Fun games room, swings and putting green. Friendly host. Well located to get to and then onward into Exmoor. Just 5-10 mins to the super markets and restaurants of Minehead but also very quite location.

A Great Venue for a Holiday in Somerset and the Exmoor

The grounds are immaculate and the lodges are well appointed. Very accessible to all the local amenities and the wider area. Then owners have put a lot of thought and care in to the site and we had a very lovely time. The rang of lodges available made it the ideal site for our family get-together. Altogether a very exceptional venue!

Woodcombe Wonder

The Lodge was very well equipped, clean and comfortable. The grounds were beautiful and peaceful. The 4 children loved the space and the games room. It was a wonderful safe environment and Andrew was an attentive host. Top marks all round.

A Great Few Days on Exmoor!

Holly Lodge was a great venue for a senior family gathering over 4 nights. The accommodation was great, in particular for one of our party who has been disabled by a stroke. The self catering facilities were excellent as was the whole setting. Plenty to do in the surrounding area varying from sea to moor, to historic castles - not to mention the odd pub!! We enjoyed it as much as last year and hopefully we will be back again in 2026!

Perfect Location for Walking and Relaxing on Exmoor

This was our second visit to Woodcombe. Andrew walked over and greeted us when we arrived - much appreciated. The stay was comfortable and all our needs were met. The children loved the games room and the putting range - good fun. The grounds are beautiful and the owners have made a very useful list of things to do in the area. We would definitely stay again.

5 Star Review!

Superb location, facilities and accommodation coupled with friendly and helpful owners. This was our second visit to April Cottage. Hoping to return with more friends!

Pine Lodge- Magnificent views

The lodge, the situation of the park and the overall cleanliness and the magnificent views were excellent.  It was lovely and quiet, nobody bothered you.  The thought that you have put into providing details of walks from the lodge were very thoughtful and helpful.  The gardens and space were thoroughly enjoyable.  The area is outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return later in the year if the same lodge is available.  We would highly recommend your holiday park and would say it was an excellent place to stay.

SSHHHH..don’t tell anyone about this place, if word gets out we will have to wait years for a booking

  Reviewed by: Fairman49 from London Reviewed on: 10/26/2015 for their stay in 10/2015 Woodcombe Lodges & Cottages-Cedar Lodge Just perfect. Great accomodation, perfect quiet location minutes away from Minehead and Exmoor. Our extended family stayed in the HOLLY chalet which sleeps 10. Four bedrooms. Three bathrooms, (one a wet room and great for senior family members), large lounge, fully equipped kitchen. Wifi, TV, DVD. Large perfectly tended grounds for the kids to play…playroom with table tennis. This place is a real find and I think we were lucky to be able to book our week in October. Great hosts too, nothing too much trouble. Oh, must not forget the free autum apples!! We will be eating apples pies for the next fortnight.

Plenty of room to move around and a nice outlook over the countryside

Dear Nicola      We just wanted to say we enjoyed our holiday with you very much. The pine lodge suited us down to the ground. Plenty of room to move around and a nice outlook over the countryside. We will be back but don’t know when.

Nicola and Dave Cooter

Thank you so much for providing such first class accommodation for us and our dogs. I have to say we all had a wonderful time exploring the villages and towns, and were lucky with the weather that week. Impressed with Andrews little walking instructions from the lodge- managed 3/4! You are lucky to have such a beautiful place. Hope to see you again.

Exmoor is the star attraction

When our Lake District holiday plans did not materialise we looked to the South West and stumbled upon ‘Woodcombe Lodges’. Trip advisor reviews were impressive and we found ourselves with our small labradoodle ‘Milly’ in ‘Yew Tree Lodge’ one of just six lodges on this small, owner run site. The holiday did not disappoint. The development sits on a hill just a mile outside Minehead with beautiful rural views of Exmoor. Andrew and Nicola, the owners, are discrete but friendly and helpful with any questions which you may have. Often ‘dog friendly’ means rather basic but these lodges provide more than adequate holiday accommodation and the site is well landscaped and very private. Exmoor itself is the star attraction and the highlight of our holiday was a visit to the beautiful, but deserted Selworthy beach which requires a descent down a steep scree slope. This area rivals the Lakes for sheer beauty with the added bonus that there are no crowds. We highly recommend Woodcombe Lodges but don’t tell too many people about Exmoor – we like it as it is.

Dr. Michal Jones & Mrs. Lynn Lovatt-Jones

Andrew & Nicola, A note to say thanks for a brilliant (last) week. The accommodation was great, the location immaculate, and the views stunning. Not sure how you organised the superb weather ?…but organisation and arrangements were painless..and stay very enjoyable. An excellent location, ‘out of town’ but close enough for convenience. Being able to bring the dog made it even more pleasant and stress free. So thanks again and we hope to re-visit asap.

Alan & Brenda Squire

Dear Andrew and Nicola, We tried to complete the tripadviser questionnaire but fell at the last hurdle so we thought we’d let you know we would have said very kind things about your accommodation.  We really enjoyed our stay at Pine Lodge. The lodge was very clean and comfortable and was located in a lovely spot overlooking the beautiful countryside. We really enjoyed sitting out on the verandah enjoying the view. We must commend you on the grounds which were immaculate. Yours sincerely

Come again tomorrow if it were possible!

We really enjoyed the holiday stay with you, the lodge and the grounds are a credit to you. Everybody was so kind and helpful around and about, the children loved visiting the chickens everyday and being in the grounds and lodge. We will visit again at some stage, ‘tomorrow if it were possible’

Idyllic week in April Cottage

We have just spent an idyllic week in April cottage. A perfect peaceful location. We can’t wait to come back and bring the rest of the family. Thank-you Nicola and Andrew for creating and maintaining such a beautiful home from home. Cathy and Tony Savery.

Rose Cottage – Great Holiday

Thanks for a great holiday cottage. we enjoyed the quiet placing of the cottage also well equipped with most things. We enjoyed the area for walking so will be coming back again in 2017. Also very convenient to walk into Minehead most evenings for a meal. Regards Martin
