"Starling lodge certainly has the wow factor!"
When we arrived to the property, it was a very rainy day however, that did not stop us from standing outside and enjoying the incredible views. We loved having Geoffrey the alpaca join us most days and seeing him wondering around. The property itself was very cosy. We were worried about being cold due to drop in temperature however the underfloor heating works wonders and if anything- we were too warm at times! Starling lodge is in a perfect location for anyone wanting to explore Cheddar Gorge, Glastonbury and Wookey. We travelled as a couple and it was the perfect place for us to switch off from the hustle and bustle of our normal 9-5 week. We will absolutely come back next year- possibly make this an annual get away! For anyone looking at booking this property- do it!! You will not be disappointed!!

"We was amazed at starling lodge the location was perfect."
The views overlooking miles of farmland out towards Glastonbury and cheddar was breathtaking .the lodge itself was perfect very clean and well equipped. The living space was large with a very well equipped kitchen. bedrooms was perfect sizes there was a double bedroom and a single room with bunkbeds on the ground floor also a shower room with toilet and sink. The 1st floor was spacious with a double bed in there was space for putting your clothes away. There was also an en suite with a shower sink and toilet .outside there was a hot tub this was amazing to use day or night .there was friendly animals roaming around the outside of the property .and of cause not forgetting Billy the farm dog he came everyday of our stay to say high and see what food we had for him .
The owners Jo & Neil are the nicest people you could meet nothing was to much to ask them anytime of the day .There is Harrier jet from the Falklands war on site but unfortunately I never got to see it during my stay. I am definitely going to visit again

"We really enjoyed are stay at Starling Lodge."
The Lodge is fairly spacious and in a nice location. The views from the Lodge are amazing. The owners both Jo and Neil are really nice and are on hand should you have any questions. The only thing we found that was very slightly negative to us was that the large sofa is on the low side and a bit difficult to get up out of. Saying that it didn't in any way ruin our stay, in fact we are planning to go back next year. Thank you Jo and Neil. We would definitely recommend this Lodge.

"The property was as described and more, clean, comfortable and everything we needed."
The beds are the most comfortable we have ever slept on when on holiday and the pillows like clouds, thank goodness for soft towels that were not white (we hate hard white towels). The scenery was amazing, visits from Billy and Alpacas roaming freely was so lovely. A visit to the Harrier was also appreciated and being able to sit inside too! Perfectly located for trips to Wells, Bath and Glastonbury - if you can leave the tranquility. Oh and we also saw satellites and shooting stars due to there being very little light and perfectly
clear skies when we were there - all from
the hot tub! Don’t miss out on a piece of heaven!

"Starling cottage was a delightful surprise!"
One of four cottages tucked away around a corner at the top of a hill, the cottage is spacious and beautiful with the most gloriously expansive views.
The cottage itself had everything we needed and it was all in lovely condition, clean and perfect. The cottage is beautifully decorated and we felt like we were in the pages of a travel magazine! Our children enjoyed the hot tub, played ball on the grass, made friends with the dogs, ponies and alpacas. In short, we all had a fantastic stay.
Jo and Neil are lovely, friendly and helpful. Neil was so kind to show us their Harrier seaplane. That was a jaw-dropping experience!
We would highly recommend Starling Cottage and would definitely stay there again!

"We stayed in starling lodge 14th-17th October."
It was exactly how it was described and looked exactly how the listing was. We were so amazed at how big the lodge is and how much space there was. The amazing views from the lodge are amazing and it's lovely to be able to enjoy the scenery and peacefulness. We managed to stay busy every day. It was lovely to be able to relax in the hot tub on the night time and watch the sunset and stars when it had gone dark. Will definitely be returning again and will highly recommend. Jo is amazing and very helpful and friendly. Was lovely to meet the animals that are on the farm.

"The chalet was fabulous, really well appointed and spacious, wonderful location - so tranquil, with lovely views over uninterrupted countryside towards Stonehenge."
Hot tub was clean and powerful - and well used by us over the weekend! Very well positioned for sightseeing, Went to Cheddar Gorge and Stonehenge....but also found a huge reclamation yard one day, which I could have spent a fortune at, and a Sunday morning car boot, which was good too. Jo, the host was on hand if needed, and very kindly posted back a toy that my 10 month old granddaughter hid under the armchair...I would have no hesitation in recommending this place and would go again. Instructions for the hob / oven would have been useful, as I am not used to ceramic hobs/electric, even with Google it was hit and miss, as I couldn't find the exact model, but none of us starved! All in all a memorable and relaxing family weekend.

"The property is really good, as it has a wet room and downstairs bedroom it is ideal for those with limited mobility."
The views across to Glastonbury are beautiful, and thanks to enormous windows these can be enjoyed from inside as well as out. The hot tub was very welcome after a day exploring the area. It was lovely seeing the animals, alpacas, Shetland pony and sheep and highlight was the harrier plane which is available to be looked at on Sunday morning. A great accommodation and we will definitely be going back.

The large picture windows in the lodge provide stunning panoramic views and the views can be enjoyed from the hot tub too.

"Absolutely stunning, the lodge and views from it."
The private hot tub was perfect, especially before and after a day spent walking Cheddar Gorge and Jacob's Ladder. We hope to return again soon and won't need to pack additional towels for the hot tub as these were thoughtfully provided, a hairdryer could be useful for some guests. None of us wanted to leave, it was so comfortable and relaxing we would all highly recommend it to family and friends.

"Starling cottage is stunning, great size, great facilities, the hot tub was amazing and the views are breathtaking."
There are ponies and alpaca’s literally at the end of your garden. Ideally placed with surrounding villages a 10-15 minute drive away but secluded enough to feel away from it all in rural bliss. I cannot recommend this place enough. More than enough space for a family holiday, but cozy and quiet enough for a romantic weekend away. Will definitely be returning in the future and have already recommend to friends and family. Thank you for providing a beautiful place to spend an amazing long weekend.

It was spotlessly clean and had everything you could want for a lovely holiday.
The views across the countryside to Glastonbury Tor are lovely. The photographs don’t do them justice.
We all enjoyed the hot tub including our small grandson Alfie.
The Sea Harrier was an added bonus both grandson and grandad thoroughly enjoyed climbing into the cockpit and finding out about the history. Thank you Neil and Jo for a lovely stay .
