About Court Lodge

Court Lodge is set on the edge of the small and quiet village of Bathealton in a conservation area. Set within its own garden of half an acre, it enjoys a particularly peaceful setting with panoramic views across open countryside.

This luxurious dwelling benefits from a stylish and contemporary, open-plan interior, two beautifully appointed bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a spectacular garden with patio and seating, hot tub, lawn and far-reaching countryside views. The property, originally dating back to 1847 was completely refurbished in 2022 to a very high standard with a contemporary extension, underfloor heating and double glazing throughout.

Court Lodge is in an unbeatable location, easily accessible being 20 minutes from the motorway or local train stations. Easy access to the beautiful countryside and picturesque coast is perfect for families, friends or couples looking to explore Somerset or nearby Devon.

There are extensive local walks on footpaths, by-ways or quiet roads ideal for those with canine companions keen to immerse themselves into the countryside. After a day full of exploration, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and locate the open-plan living space where a crackling wood burning stove lies at its heart; unwind on the plush sofa in front of it and flick on the Smart TV and good internet access while the designated chef of the group gets acquainted with the fully-equipped kitchen.

Delight in their culinary creations around the spacious dining table or step outside to the private patio to indulge in an alfresco affair while the breath-taking countryside provides a memorable backdrop. After dinner, indulge in a soothing soak in the bubbling hot tub, the perfect place to relax and admire the stars as they begin to fill the sky overhead.

When the evening draws to a close, travel back inside to wash off the day’s adventures in one of the two sleek modern bathrooms ahead of catching up on your rest in the luxurious bedrooms. If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic dwelling, venture into the nearby village of Wiveliscombe where you can stock up on all of your self-catering essentials or treat your loved ones to a break from the kitchen with a meal out at The Bear Inn or one of the other many local pubs.

Court Lodge Reviews

Court lodge was a delight to stay in. The owner went out of his way before we arrived to help make our stay over Christmas perfect and gave us a warm welcome. The guest manual is detailed and very helpful. The views are simply stunning, the closeness to nature inspiring and the inside of the lodge is very comfortable with super bathrooms, and quality furnishings, the kitchen exceptionally well equipped. Watching the migrating birds at sunset from the hot tub, even in December, was memorable. The position is rural but didnt feel isolated and the fairly short drive to the nearest shops a small price to pay for the tranquility of the lodges surroundings. A wonderful world away from the stresses of daily life. Thoroughly recommend.
Chong Yew
Lovely accommodation, clean and comfortable with beautiful countryside. Nothing to fault. We had a wonderfully relaxed time. Many thanks
Claire
The property was exactly as listed with outstanding facilities. The surroundings are stunning with a perfect garden for the dog who loved her freedom to explore. The owners have clearly gone out of their way to make sure the stay is luxurious with everything you could possibly need, we were very sad to leave and would highly recommend this place.

This property is finished to a very high standard with all of the mod cons you could want. The location was perfect for us being very peaceful and private and while you are not that far from attractions and amenities it makes you feel that you are.
