Swandown, 9 Kittwhistle Reviews

Pauline
An absolutely lovely lodge, everything you could possible need. Furniture, linen in fact everything of a very high standard. In a great setting. Staff very accommodating. A great stay.
We have stayed at Swandown three times, and in this lodge twice. It is beautifully situated, and well equipped. It is in one of the premier positions. Everything worked, although we failed to get the best from the smart tv. Probably our fault! The welcome pack was welcome and useful. We would definitely recommend this lodge to anyone.
Ritchie
Our stay was fantastic. The property and site was very clean and in a beautiful location. The small swimming pool was a bonus and you can book for 40 mins everyday for your own family use, the hot tub was treated every day and the onsite manager was great.
Jacqueline
We enjoyed our stay here, the lodge was amazing with everything you could possibly need. The hot tub is an added bonus and regularly checked and maintained by the Swandown team.
Suzanne
We had a lovely stay at Swandown and stayed in number 9. It is a beautiful property in a lovely setting. The weather was mixed but we still managed to use the hot tub a few times. The lodge is very spacious and the underfloor heating was great. The only thing I would suggest to enhance our stay would be some sun loungers , the outdoor seating is fine for sitting at the table but not comfortable for anything else. If were in the area again we would definitely book Swandown again.
I usually dont write reviews but i absolutely had to for this place. We absolutely loved our stay at Swandown, we stayed in lodge number 9 which had the most amazing views. We got very lucky with the weather it was so warm, it was really nice to be able to relax outside in the jacuzzi. I do miss the Jacuzzi now Im home. Everywhere was really clean and everything as they show it in the photos. Youre really close to a Tesco and Lidl so its really convenient for the weekly shop. I really enjoyed the swimming pool on the site as you can book it and you can get the pool to yourselves for 40 minutes which was so nice. It really was so peaceful there and I would definitely consider going back. Thank you so much for our wonderful stay, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is thinking about going
Louise
Absolutely brilliant holiday lodge! We had a fabulous stay, pool and hot tub facilities were clean and just what we needed. Amazing service by the Swandown team and lots to do for little ones. Would definitely return
A great property in wonderful surroundings. Peaceful but ideal for seeing the area A lovely part of the country. The property lived up to all our expectations
Sylvie
Our 2nd time to Swandown Lodges. We love coming as a family for a really nice chillout! The gentleman who runs it is really friendly and helpful. Lovely to have a hot tub which was well maintained and use of the indoor pool. The lodge is really nicely furnished with dressing gowns, toiletries etc. We even had a nice little Xmas tree. We will definitely be back x
Tracey.
This is our 6th return visit and as always another wonderful stay. The lodge was lovely and clean, beautiful outlook, great facilities, nice and quiet with the added bonus of brilliant swimming pool for kids and personal hot tub. What more could one want. By far the best lodges in Devon and Somerset
Gillian
Private hot tub, loads of space. Everything in the kitchen you could think of. And a bath
We have stayed at Swandown before. No 9 is perhaps the best lodge on the site. It is certainly in the best position, with outstanding views. We enjoyed our visits down to the Manor House, but only for food and drink. We did not try the other facilities. We have already booked to stay in the same lodge again next year.
Darren Colin
Clean and modern property in Beautiful surroundings. Hot tub and swimming pool were a great addition
Michelle
Excellent lodge, beautiful outlook and very nice welcome from the chap in the office when we arrived.
Louise
We loved our stay here lodge was great, staff were really friendly and welcoming and the estate was beautiful. Our only small gripe was the booking system for the pool we loved being able to book a private session but our daughter was keen to use it and so we booked a slot and organised our day around it, only to find it had been wiped off and someone else was in there during the time wed booked Id taken a photo of the board as my memory is terrible so know we had originally booked it. I do wonder if possibly the wind and rain the night before had caused the booking to be wiped.could an online booking system be used maybe? Overall we did have a brilliant time and would love to return.
