    A lot of facilities packed into a small space, everything needed for our stay was there. Having blue tooth connection to the hot tub speakers was simply the icing on the cake :)

  • "The property was lovely."

    It had everything we needed and was in a great location. There were stunning views from both the pod and hot tub and horses, chickens and rabbits in the fields in front and behind to keep us entertained. There was lots to do nearby and great pubs for food, The New Inn just a short walk down the road and The Lamb Inn in Axbridge. The people were very friendly and helpful at the pod.

  • "We were not supposed to be going to Suffolk, we had originally booked to go to a different property."

    However, when this property was cancelled on our way there we had a look on Sykes cottages and Suffolk was the top of the list. Am I glad that it was!! On arrival driving in to the property you’re greeted by gorgeous scenery and a relaxing environment. You feel welcomed straight away. On the outside of the property is the fantastic hot tub, a fire pit and seating. There is a good size area of grass to the front, overlooking a lovely paddock filled with chicken and wild rabbits. Such a peaceful view to look out on. Inside the property you’ll find everything you need for your stay. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchenette is perfectly adequate with a kettle, toaster, microwave and two hob stove. You also have a full sized fridge. The bathroom is all you need and very clean and tidy. The hot tub was the star of our visit, with you able to go in it whenever you want. I was in by 7 most mornings and to be able to sit and relax looking at the stunning surrounding views was idyllic. There are a couple of very good pubs quite close, as well as a lovely tea room serving afternoon tea in Axbridge. The Strawberry Line walk follows the back of the property and you can use a path from the cottage to walk straight to it. Perfect for long walks. Please visit this wonderful place and you won’t be disappointed.

  • "Myself & my husband have just returned from a 4 night stay in the Pod."

    The pod itself was cosy & comfortable there are some drawers under the bed & hooks to store clothes & space in the bathroom. We left some of our belongings in the car but purely because we packed so much as we couldn't guarantee the weather. The hot tub was lovely with great views, due to the weather we couldn't use the fire pit or the bbq. We didn't make much food in the pod as mainly ate out however you could easily cook a meal for 2 & the cooking area although small has the essentials you need. Location is perfect few lovely pubs in walking distance with nice food. We could not fault our stay we just wish we had longer there & hope to return when we have some better weather to make the most of the outside space.

  • "The lodge was beautiful!"

    ! small but cozy, the hot tub was lovely after a full day of exploring. The extra heater they’ve popped in is an added bonus for this cold nights in the winter. The shower was abit temperamental with heat, only ever felt lukewarm even though I had it up on full temp (not sure if this was just us being silly). The owner was very friendly and the horses were a lovely thing to wake up to in the morning. Would definitely recommend!! Will be coming back x

  • "Lovely position and outlook, watching the rabbits and the sheep every morning and evening was delightful."

    Some traffic noise but we soon got used to it. The bed wasn’t the most comfiest but didn’t spoil our stay. The hot tub was a very welcome end to the day. Definitely recommend a visit in to Axbridge and to sample the coffee shop for the cream tea and Ridley’s for the most amazing bacon and sausage bap. The New Inn in Cross, just a five minute walk, does lovely meals. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

  • "This pod was on a farm overlooking the animals and the owners home, next to another pod and hot tub."

    Steve met us on arrival and went through everything and took the time to suggest walks and pubs which was kind. We booked on the day of arrival so couldn’t use hot tub till the next day as it needed heating up which was fine. Welcome pack said if needed we can ask for extra towels/linen so we did ask for extra towels for the hot tub as didn’t want to use the 2 shower towels but was told what we had should be enough but if we got stuck to ask again. We left it as didn’t want to be a trouble but just felt for £385 for the trip, extra towels would have been nice. The bed was too small for us and found it uncomfortable but then we are used to kingsize so maybe just a personal preference! Location was great for exploring cheddar. Nearby pub was nice, short walk.

  • "Me, my friend and my dog stayed here for 3 nights."

    They were the most relaxing evenings and the pod is surrounded with lovely walks and a small community village close by. During the days we adventured and in the nights we took advantage of the services and cooked small meals and a few drinks around the hottub and fire. The place was lovely with views and animals surrounding. Would definitely go back. Thank your.

    Beautiful setting and very relaxing. The owner and his family were really friendly. The hot tub was a great added extra. Within walking distance of two pubs. A short drive to the beautiful Chedder gorge for lovely walks, and literally on the doorstep of the strawberry line. We really enjoyed our stay as did the dog (he loved watching the rabbits in the field in front of us as we bbq’d). Will definitely return. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The location is absolutely spot on and is close to Cheddar, Axbridge and Weston Super Mare whilst still feeling rural. Also across the farm field has easy access to the Strawberry Line which is a great walk or cycle ride. We were greeted with a friendly welcome and shown all around the lodge which was extremely comfortable and comes with everything you need including heater, digital TV and a small kitchen with everything you would need to cook a small meal. The hot tub also has amazing views of the farm and the scenery and only added to the experience. Will definitely be returning.

    Great base to explore from and lots of restaurants nearby in Cheddar. Everything you need for a short stay (Steve very helpful explaining how to use hot tub, hob and combi microwave). Washing up liquid, sponge and teatowel included as well as tea and coffee and a couple of milk pods. Loved the pod and the hot tub. The only downside I can think of was that there was no space for wardrobe so everything stayed in suitcase. Would wholeheartedly recommend it.

  • "The holiday cabin is a bit misleading in the advert."

    First of all Syke Cottages didn’t make it very clear that I actually paid for 2 nights and we only stayed 1 and after contacting them I found they were very unhelpful and weren’t interested in the slightest in some sort of refund/compensation. The cabin is situated on a hill directly next to another cabin with the owners right next to you. We felt as though you feel your being watched all the time. In terms of facilities the hot tub was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. I was very disappointed with the heating not working as it’s the only source of heating in the cabin. We were told to use a £15 plug in heater in the cabin which really isn’t good enough for the money we paid. The bathroom is absolutely freezing cold too with nowhere to actually dry your towels etc.

    I am sorry to learn that the stay did not match your expectations. I am somewhat perplexed by the statements you have made. The properties are not directly next to one another, the other pod is roughly 25 meters away and although I live nearby I am still roughly 40 meters away from both pods. The pod you had stayed in offers views of the moors directly opposite and is surrounded by agricultural land. I am sorry for issue with the heating at the time as the underfloor heating in the bedroom was not reaching the maximum temperature but the additional heating provided was more than adequate as I never like to see my guest feeling uncomfortable. There is not heating in the bathroom but due to the size of the pod, if you simply open the bathroom door, the heat from the living area should radiate throughout and warm up the bathroom. Thank you for your comments. Best wishes, The owner of Suffolk. Property Owner

Axbridge Pods

These two timber pods enjoy a serene location amidst the rolling hills of Somerset, with the Quantocks and Mendip walking trails on the doorstep, just outside the town of Axbridge. Presented to a lovely standard with a private seating area and hot tub, these quaint little homes are perfect for couples eager to escape normality to see what this countryside location has to offer. The pods are accessed via a long drive and are welcoming to pets and horses, however they must be kept on leads at all times. Internally, the pods are presented in an open plan studio style with a kitchenette and a romantic dining area, so you can enjoy home-cooked meals when you’re not dining at a local restaurant. Wash away the day in the en-suite shower before climbing into bed and catching up on a favourite show from the wall-mounted TV. The exterior of these pods is a real highlight; gather round the firepit and enjoy marshmallows on a brisk evening while you wait for the hot tub to warm up, providing the ultimate way to recover after a long day of eploring. Avid walkers will be in awe of the surrounding area, exploring the magnificent Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty as well as the Mendip Hills, each providing a special landscape of panoramic views, wilderness and tranquillity. Wander into the Somerset village of Cheddar where you will find a good selection of pubs, restaurants and shops, including many specialist cheese shops selling the renowned Cheddar Cheese, before venturing further afield to the city of Wells, home to the impressive 12th century Wells Cathedral, the historic Vicar’s Chapel and Library, as well as the Wells & Mendip Museum where you can learn more about the local area. However you choose to spend your precious holiday time, return to these inviting pods for an evening of relaxing and rejuvenation.
