  This lodge was beautiful!

  ! It has everything you need to have a very comfortable stay, it was very well equipped and finished to a high standard, brean country club site was very peaceful which made sitting/ sunbathing on the lovely sofa on the decking very relaxing. We really enjoyed RJ’s night time entertainment too. It was around a 10 minute walk to the beach which was a nice beach for walking, we used the splash park twice which the kids absolutely loved I also went on all the slides and very much enjoyed the experience. This is the first time I have had to pay to use the pool when visiting a holiday park as it’s normally included with the price of the holiday, it cost us £18 every time we wanted to swim which was a shame because my kids would have loved to have gone every day. The park was with in easy reach of western super mere which we enjoyed having a walk round. We also visited Bath which was 1 hour 40 mins away, Torquay which was absolutely stunning and spend the whole afternoon paddling and playing in the sea which was 1 hour 20 mins away and. Glastonbury which was 45 mins away, There were a lot of road works on the M5 which held us back from more exploring near Bristol, iI have mentioned this to help others to plan any day trips to allow more travel time, Due to this reason we decided to leave the night before to miss sitting for hours on the motorway the following day if we checked out at 10am, I was a bit gutted but having three children it made sense and we did miss all the traffic driving home through the night. we would like to thank sue the owner for a lovely stay. Kind regards Rebecca and family.

  We had spent 5 amazing nights at the accommodation, as a group of 9 with elderly and children.

  The key highlights of the stay was the lovely, aesthetically pleasing yet practical, modern and clean accommodation. It is a lovely house with plenty of space and a very nice and well looked after garden. The combined kitchen/dining area was the central part of the house for us as the whole group can be in the same area yet be able to naturally split off to do our own thing eg. cooking in the kitchen, having tea or preparing the ingredients in the dining area, and kids playing and watching TV in the corner. We enjoyed our meals under the sky roof in the dining area and sliding doors to the garden. We had also used the barbecue grill for one evening, which we got help with operating the gas supply from the host very quickly and easily. All amenities were well thought out from wash basin sensored lights, to night light hand torches that turn on automatically for finding the toilets at night. All appliances are very modern. To accommodate for 10 people, all appliances, amenities and space were good and of quality. As a bonus we were greeted by the friendly host and we were welcomed with cake, wine and farm shop milk which we enjoyed. We also refilled the milk once with standard milk and chocolate orange milk at the farm shop nearby. The stay was wonderful and we very much enjoyed our holiday.

  We had a wonderful holiday at The Retreat with 3 generations of our family.

  ..6 adults and 4 children aged 18months to 9 years. It is a beautiful property, immaculately decorated and furnished with first rate appliances and contains everything you could need for a relaxing break. The pictures don't do the house justice, as it is far more spacious than it appears. Lucy and John were excellent hosts and welcomed us with delicious cake, bubbly, fresh farm milk and sweet treats for the children. Knowing that they were close by for any help or advice was very reassuring, especially when we ordered a delivery to the wrong post code! The Retreat is in a great location for exploring the area, as there is so much to see and do within a 10-15 mile radius, from the grandeur of Cheddar Gorge to the bustle of Weston Pier. There were also some lovely pub/restaurants in the area for a tasty lunch. Even Storm Dennis didn't dampen our spirits as the children were always keen to get back to our 'holiday home' and would have been quite happy to stay in all day if we let them! We would love to return one day...hopefully in better weather...to fully experience the outdoor activities that the locality has to offer.

  Nice, mostly well equipped property with plenty of space for 2 families of 4.

  I say mostly as the showers and hot water system are not suitable for 8 people, after 3 quick showers hot water runs dry and you need to wait 40 minutes for it to reheat for your next 3 showers. (The owner didn't see this was to much of a problem, its an eco system). Our new year's stay was ruined by the attitude of the owners, prior to our arrival we asked the owner in writing for permission to set off fireworks to see in the new year to which we received a prompt reply saying that yes we could, "no problem". However as soon as we started the fireworks at 6pm, not midnight to be considerate to the local residents, we were promptly stopped by the owner who didn't realise the fireworks would be loud. This spoilt our new years celebrations, the purpose of our visit and left 4 young children extremely upset and the adults annoyed, had the owner said no to the fireworks in the first instance we could of made other arrangements and saved our money. We spent £150 on fireworks that we cannot use, the owner refused any compensation. We would not recommend or stay at this property again.

  We cannot begin to tell you how much we loved the home you allow others to share.

  Once a year we choose to go away somewhere with the family - there are 10 of us including my disabled sister with cerebral palsy. I am not exaggerating when I say we all entered 'the Retreat' and in unison said 'wow!'. Each room we entered was another lot of wows! The house is so beautifully and thoughtfully designed. There are comfortable spaces within the house to relax with others or, if you choose, have a quiet time by yourself. Having an ensuite room downstairs was convenient for my disable sister who is a wheelchair user. We were very touched by your generosity of a 'welcome pack'. We have packed a lot activities into our 4 days knowing we were heading back to a beautiful and cozy 'Retreat' every evening. Thank you John and Lucy for making us all feel so welcome and for being there at the end of the telephone/text/emails to answer any query that we had. You have thought about everything! We have enjoyed reading other guests comments and you so deserve all the wonderful praise. Absolutely spotless! Thank you and see you again hopefully soon!
