What our guests say
6 genuine 70th birthday reviews· 5.0 out of 5 average rating
“Fantastic family stay for a 70th birthday. Thoroughly enjoyed the week away, we had quite a few family members with bad knees/ankles due to illness or injury and it was quite tricky to navigate around the property as there were quite a few steps and some fairly steep but we managed! Lots to do, we particularly loved the games room, boules, pool and sauna. Lovely treat! We walked down to Harry’s cider as well as having a family meal at the Devonshire Arms which is a gorgeous up market pub. Thanks to the hosts!”
“What a wonderful stay for our mums 70th birthday, Gill and George dealt with every query quickly prior to us staying and provided lots of information. the property was beautiful and great for all the different age ranges within the family - the games room, pool and garden were fab and kept everyone occupied so much so we only left a few times! The barn plus additional rooms were big enough for us all to have our own space when needed but the main areas also had ample space for when were we all together. Overall a very memorable break in a gorgeous house. many thanks for providing everything you need for a stay with a large number of guests will surely look to book again.”
“We had a fabulous 5 days celebrating my 70th birthday. We had 9 adults 4 children and a new born in our party and the house was perfect for us. The hot tub both pools and the sauna were a big hit. Everything was spotless on our arrival. It is a beautiful area and everyone in our group had a wonderful time, which was added to by the glorious Somerset sunshine! Thank you so much to Gill the host, for making us feel at home in such a lovely place to stay. We would highly recommend it to others.”
“What a find. Perfect place for 70th birthday celebration with family ages 6 years to 88 years. Lodge had everything you could need. Clean, well equipped with comfy beds. Loads of outside space to play for children, gardens that were pretty but not so immaculate and manicured that you were frightened the kids would damage anything. Private time in the big pool (plus Gill let us have extra times when other guests did not want to use their slots). Sauna and hot tubs were well used by us all. Gill or George responded very promptly to any queries or problems during our stay. Would definitely recommend.”
“Absolutely stunning holiday home, you do not need to leave the accommodation as you have everything in one place to suit all ages. The accommodation is large enough so you do not feel on top of eachother and the house is absolutely stunning and comfortable. We would all 100% go back. We visited as a family of 14 for a 70th birthday, the kids ranged from 1 to 7 years old and they all had an amazing time, including all the adults. The pictures are all exactly what you get. I would like to say a big thank you to Gill and Simon who were both very helpful and always available if needed.”
“Great set up for large families with plenty to keep everyone entertained. The fruit cake on arrival was a big hit. The pool was great, the hot tub lovely, the sauna a great bonus. There was a big field for a family game of rounders. Ticked all our boxes so make my dads 70th memorable for 11 of us. Thank you”
