Vacation rentals with lake access in South Somerset District

This was our best holiday ever. The lodge was stunning and we very much enjoyed the hot tub and fire. Our host was very attentive and we booked an alpaca experience with them for my son’s birthday at short notice! Very clear instructions regarding finding the lodge were given. The setting was stunning! I would definitely go back again!

This amazing, quirky cottage is in a spectacular setting. The house is lovely and spacious, really comfortable and full of character. The valley it sits in is teeming with wildlife: we saw deer, pheasants, an owl, butterflies and so much more, all only footsteps from the door. It was such a treat. Sam and Mark were wonderful hosts, very unobtrusive but easily contactable and helpful if needed. It was the perfect place to unwind for a few days with the family. We had intended to go for out and about, but instead, we spent a lot of time enjoying the garden, the pond, playing games in front of the log burner, cooking and eating together in the well-equipped, expansive kitchen and generally having a great time. We would love to return another time. Thank you to Sam and Mark for sharing your Enchanted Mill and the lush valley. Missing it already :-)

we stayed here to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday with friends and had a fabulous time. Beautiful location, very peaceful and relaxing. Good kitchen and comfy beds.

We loved our stay at Mel's house it was incredibly clean with so many extras that we haven't had before, staying in other Airbnbs. There was literally everything you needed in the kitchen, bathrooms and even games to play! The welcome gifts were also very much appreciated. The house is in a perfect location, we parked the car and didn't use it again until we left, either walking or taking the train. Great sized rooms with gorgeous furnishings and lovely hotel quality bedding. The little courtyard with outside seating looked fabulous. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at Mandy’s place! Beautifully decorated, fabulous views of the lake and extremely clean and well organised. The property is spacious and had everything we needed for our trip. Mandy provided us with lots of great recommendations including the New Inn which we visited numerous times for its excellent food and lovely views! Mandy was a very responsive host and made sure we felt welcome! Would happily return and definitely recommend for a trip to the Mendip Hills!

Lovely home for our large family get together. When asked questions Elisha was very quick to respond and even recommended some lovely restaurants. We loved Penarth it’s such a lovely place to stay. We could stroll for about 20 minutes to the pier and various restaurants from the house. Also easy access into the city by train.

We had an amazing weekend at The Bungalow in Dorset. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the stunning lake view and the peaceful setting. The bungalow was spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. The living area was cozy, the kitchen fully equipped, and the bedrooms provided a perfect night’s sleep. The bathroom was modern, with a powerful shower and fresh towels. The outdoor space was perfect for relaxing, and the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. The hosts clearly put great care into ensuring a fantastic stay. We loved exploring the nearby walking trails and charming villages, but the bungalow itself was so wonderful that we spent most of our time enjoying its tranquility. Everything about our stay was perfect, and we left feeling completely refreshed. If you’re looking for a relaxing escape in Dorset, The Bungalow is an absolute gem. We can’t wait to return!

Had a wonderful couple of days. House was beautifully clean, easy to find & a great setting to wander around the marina.

We found the studio a perfect place for a relaxing rural stay. Inside was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully equipped, including a comfy bed and a great shower. Since we had lovely spring weather, we really appreciated the outside seating area - breakfast with a stunning view. Plenty of walks and wildlife to watch right on the doorstep.

Clean fresh practical layout. Great location. Good local amenities. Fitted our requirements perfectly.

absolutely amazing place to stay felt right at home first place we have stayed where we had different things already provided we packed lots to come with us tea sugar coffee dish cloths fairy liquid so we was stunned to see that all this was already provided we had a fantastic stay Debby & Grant was amazing from booking to getting home we will definitely book through you again and be back beautiful caravan in the perfect spot close to the heart of everything thank you both me my partner and children had the best time and made amazing memories 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Very well appointed flat, very clean, very helpful hosts, great location in a great city. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location for a getaway from city life! Flat is situated in front of the beach, Terry was extremely helpful and communicative with lots of local recommendations. Flat is provided with basic amenities but you don’t need a lot if you’re in such a beautiful scenery. If you’re after a restful time in a nature, with lots of hiking / walking paths then this place is for you!

We had a really lovely stay! Julie, the host, was very welcoming, friendly and sent clear instructions. The flat was just as described and perfect for our young family, with everything we could have needed. Thank you Julie!

Beautiful apartment with everything u need. Right next to the ocean, u could hear the waves in the night coming in. Would recommend :)

Geoffrey's place was a beautiful apartment with stunning views, especially the sunset. amazing to relax at the end of the day on the balcony. Top tier! Geoffrey was great and super helpful. He left breakfast and everything we could possibly need to cook and make ourselves at home. Would 100% recommend and if the time came would definitely stay again. Thanks heaps!

Had a lovely stay for a few days at Jacqueline's place. Very well equipped with everything you could want - it was great having filter coffee, tea, bread, milk and a cake waiting for us on arrival. Our three year olds loved running around in the garden playing with the toy car and slide that had kindly been left out for us. Really large lovely kitchen and the whole house was deceptively spacious. Jacqueline was also a great communicator, letting us know when the place was ready on the morning of our arrival. Thanks for having us!!!

Janey was the perfect host. We arrived a little early and she very flexibly let us check-in, despite having to prepare everything herself as her cleaner was not available. We also arrived a little unprepared and on a Sunday but Janey had left all the essentials we needed to tide us over including a delicious homemade cake, croissants for breakfast the following morning, milk, butter and eggs. The setting is lovely overlooking a very large pond with a lot of visiting geese and ducks. There are little boats and life jackets for children. This is an ideal spot for a family holiday with the fossil beach at Kerridge Bay only an hour away by car and a number of lovely walks on Iron Age hill forts very close by, as well as lovely villages and National Trust properties. We would highly recommend Janey's property for a relaxing, comfortable and homely holiday. I am sure we will be back.

We had a brilliant stay at the Pink House! The house itself was beautifully decorated and was warm and inviting - we felt really at home here. Deborah was very friendly and responsive in her communication and sent us lots of local recommendations of things to do and places to visit. The garden was really private and we loved the built in BBQ and home-grown tomatoes and cucumbers, and the welcome basket that we're waiting for us when we arrived. The Pink House is in a great location with walks right from the front door and only 15-30 mins drive to the various beaches. We had a wonderful stay and wished we booked for longer - we'll definitely be back again!

This is a great place to stay . Catherine, the host was superb . Really helpful when I asked questions, and always replied promptly . The accommodation is great , with an AGA cooker , log stove , and a very comfy bed ! The lane to get there is very narrow, but you soon get used to it. We will be back !

We've had a great stay at Fran's farm, very welcoming host, the place matched the description, the farm animals and her dogs were great. Enjoyed our stay and would come again.

We had a great stay and are looking forward to our next visit in May… A great location in one of our favourite areas…. Thanks.

The Hermitage was perfect for a quiet getaway. It is situated in a beautiful location, with plenty of walks from your doorstep. The cottage itself is perfect, with everything you would need for a few days. Clare is a very friendly and responsive host and left a few goodies for us on arrival. She also respected our privacy. We would definitely recommend a stay at the Hermitage!

Five wonderful days at Garden Cottage exploring Exmoor with a view to retirement. The cottage is ideally located in Timberscombe fifty metres or so from the A396 on the east side of the moor. Karen really went out of her way for us. It’s nice to stay somewhere that provides the basics you need rather than clearing them out after each visitor. The homemade bread was a nice touch thank you. The cottage was lovely and very quickly felt like home. As it is February we used the wood burning stove but as the heating is so good it wasn’t necessary. There is a good size garden with parking outside. We were fortunate with the weather and managed to visit many of the local attractions. I would recommend Dunkery Beacon on a clear day, Porlock and Porlock weir, Lynton and Lynmouth and Dunster. Living in East Sussex we are spoilt with brilliant towns - Hastings, Eastbourne and Lewes. Minehead was comparable though with a lovely seafront and historic buildings. A definite retirement contender.
