Ash Lodge

Ash Lodge is an inviting, single-storey log cabin, resting within the grounds of Shells Cottage, just a short distance from Washford. Stepping inside, be delighted by the characterful features of exposed wooden beams, and a glowing woodburning stove set in an inglenook fireplace, making it an idyllic spot to relax after a busy day of exploring the area.

The kitchen area is well-equipped for the designated chef to cook up a storm, so why not savour your meal at the dining table with your favourite evening tipple? Outside, the decked area invites you to indulge in a spot of alfresco dining amidst the occasional bird song.

Afterwards, take a dip in the private, sheltered hot tub under the starry skies above, the ultimate luxurious touch for any holiday and a perfect way to end your blissful day. When sleep calls; choose between a king-size and a twin bedroom, both with ample storage for your belongings and a haven for catching your rest.

In the morning, discover the nearby attractions just a stone's throw away from Ash Lodge. Animal lovers will be thrilled with a day at Tropiquaria Wildlife Park, where you can encounter exotic animals, all while learning about wildlife conservation.

History lovers and photographers alike cannot miss wandering the intriguing Cleeve Abbey, with a picture-postcard opportunity everywhere you turn with its intricate wall paintings, stunning vaulted ceilings, and well-maintained gardens. Head to Minehead for the day and enjoy the long sandy beach where you can bask in the sun, or to explore the area in a unique way, take a step back in time on the West Somerset steam railway.

The historic village of Dunster cannot be missed, where you can explore the narrow winding cobbled streets and unique architecture. No matter how you spend your days, return to your idyllic base at Ash Lodge, where evenings can be enjoyed by the woodburning stove, or in the soothing hot tub.
