"A very spacious and comfortable annexe ."

"We had a wonderful time in this really excellent cottage."
We came here for a weeks Geocaching (We found 200). The hosts Andy and Tha were very helpful and very friendly. The cottage was even better than the photos suggested. It was large and very comfortable. It had everything that we needed and everything was in good condition. Lots of free cupboard space which is unusual. Lots of grounds to explore. Wifi was generally reliable. We would not hesitate to recommend this property and hope to return if the Geocaching allows. A real treat for us was a pair of young tawny owls which were there almost every night. They perched on the gate which was about 6 feet from the bedroom window and we were able to stand indoors and watch them.

"We had a lovely restful week in Vine Lodge."
As said by other visitors on previous reviews, it is clean and spacious. Well equipped and homely. We enjoyed coming back to it after a day out. There is also a settee along with the two armchairs in the lounge. Andy and Tha are a nice, friendly couple genuinely interested in their guests' welfare, and this came across when speaking to them. We would highly recommend Vine Lodge. Thank you Andy and Tha for making our week memorable for all the right reasons.

"A lovely place to stay with plenty of room for 2 people."
Great that we could walk in their grounds too. Very comfortable, and relaxing. A great area to visit if in National Trust and English heritage as there are lots of places with 30 minutes drive. Lovely that houses along the road sell plants (here at the cottage), honey and preserves and chutneys which we bought quite a few and are delicious. Will probably return and have recommended it to friends

"This is an OUTSTANDING holiday cottage."
We have been house hunting for 13 months and staying in 32 different cottages while we searched for a house to purchase. This cottage was the best one we have stayed at and we will certainly return if our house purchase does not happen next month. The village is delightful with lots of walks and plenty of things to see and do,
-
"An excellent, delightful cottage near a beautiful village."
Everything in the cottage is either new or of the highest standard. Spacious sitting room/kitchen and large utility and bathroom. Would have stayed a third week if it had been free. Delightful and helpful owners with safe parking. Highly reccommended

"Fantastic accommodation!"
The owners made us feel very welcome during our stay at Vine Lodge. The property is very well equipped with a large kitchen and open plan dining / living space. It has a wood heater but was barely needed as the underfloor heating kept the property comfortable and warm. Lots of windows to let the light in and it was nice to watch the bunnies and squirrels run around outside. A great location to experience country living and the picturesque stone villages nearby. Many great locations are within easy reach for a day trip including Bridport / West Bay, Lyme Regis and Beer. Andy and Tha were always available should we need anything and only too happy to help make our stay more comfortable. They were happy to chat with us showing us around their property and giving us good tips on things to see and do in the area. A spacious property in a stunning countryside location to explore the surrounding region. We would happily stay again!

The property
Martock 3.2 miles.
Vine Lodge is a charming single-storey annex resting on the outskirts of Kingsbury Episcopi near the larger village Martock, which was historically known as a market town.
Vine Lodge is a wheelchair-friendly and open-plan setting whilst you enjoy a romantic retreat in this part of Somerset, within easy reach of the Jurassic Coast.
You are greeted to the property by a shared driveway which offers off-road parking before you step onto the front patio, where there is a sweet picnic bench so you can enjoy your morning coffee in the fresh air.
Heading into the property, there is a lovely double bedroom where you can rejuvenate after a brilliant day, complimented by a bathroom with a spacious shower for guests to freshen up.
Moving through the ground-floor cottage, there is a handy utility room with a washing machine and a freezer before you step into the inviting open-plan living space.
Take advantage of the kitchen facilities to whip up a romantic meal for your loved one to enjoy together at the dining table before an evening of snuggling in front of the woodburning stove as you enjoy some television entertainment.
This open-plan space also offers two patio doors which lead to a garden with furniture, so you can enjoy some alfresco dining when that's what you fancy or sit out with a bottle of wine as you watch the sun set.
Take a short walk to the local village shop if you need to grab some self-catering essentials, or alternatively, drive to Martock where you will be spoilt for choice in what to indulge in, from pub grub and takeaways to Indian restaurants and bakeries.
For those who fancy some historical discoveries, enjoy the nearby National Trust properties; the 12th century medieval Treasurer's House, the 16th century country Montacute House with formal gardens, the Tudor mansion of Barrington Court with its walled orchards, or the 17th century Tintinhull Garden.
Whilst for those who are looking for a sea and sand escape, the sandy beaches at Charmouth and West Bay make a great day out, whilst Lyme Regis offers a fossil beach, a pebble beach and a sandy beach, as well as an aquarium and two interesting museums.
For a peaceful fishing spot, surrounded by rich woodland, visit Thorney Lakes, a 4 acre lake with a variety of fish, including roach, chubb, goldfish and eels!
If you can tear yourself away from the walking, fishing and cycling in the area, travel slightly further afar to find some amazing hills and up-close wildlife in the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Blackdown Hills AONB or Dorset AONB.
Whether you want to indulge in some tasty food, explore some historical homes, swim in the English Channel, or walk amongst some of the country's most beautiful scenery, choose Vine Lodge as your base.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
