The majority of guests find the lodge comfortable, mentioning cosy beds and a warm welcome. However, a few guests noted issues with the comfort of the mattresses and seating, slightly impacting the overall comfort score.

Elaine
Not only is it, beautifully designed and decorated, very well equipped, and extremely comfortable, it is in a lovely peaceful location, yet easy access , to so many historical and interesting placesâ¦â¦and lovely walks within the village too. The owners, are so welcoming, and helpful in every way. We would highly recommend Lavender Lodge.

The setting and the village itself are very attractive and everyone is very friendly. Many local walks including The Cleeve close to the lodge. Only things we felt were missing: a permanent side gate to ensure safety of children and pets in the back garden; a retractable clothes line in the back garden as there's nowhere to hang washing in good weather; a chair in the bedroom/s.
