11 Best Lodges with Hot Tubs in Somerset (2026)

A proper Somerset stone farmhouse with a woodburning stove, roll-top bath, and a games room with a pool table and table tennis. The enclosed garden has almost no light pollution, so clear nights in the hot tub mean real stargazing. Four generations have stayed here comfortably, from toddlers to a 92-year-old. Blagdon Lake is two miles away, Wells and Cheddar Gorge within easy reach. The owner leaves homemade muffins, a personalised blackboard message, and birthday banners if you mention a celebration.

From the hot tub, you can see Glastonbury Tor across the Somerset Levels, and on clear nights, the sky is dark enough for proper stargazing. One of four lodges on a small farm outside Wedmore, but they are spaced so you barely notice the others. Bi-fold doors open onto a sheltered patio, and the downstairs wet room handles muddy boots without fuss. Cheddar Gorge and the coast are both within half an hour. The owners keep alpacas in the next field and a Sea Harrier jump jet you can actually sit in.

One of four lodges at Castle Farm near Wedmore, identical to its siblings but worth knowing for the dark skies. On a clear night, you can see satellites and shooting stars from the hot tub with almost no light pollution. Inside, underfloor heating keeps everything warm without radiators, and the beds are properly comfortable. The bi-fold doors open onto farmland views towards Glastonbury Tor, with alpacas grazing just beyond the garden fence. Cheddar Gorge, Wells, and Bath are all easy day trips. Jo and Neil are hands-on hosts who will invite you to sit in their Sea Harrier cockpit.

The garden is enormous and fully enclosed, which families with small children and dogs will appreciate. The hot tub is well-maintained, checked every morning. Burnham beach is walkable, and the M5 is two miles away for day trips to Cheddar, Wells, or Bath.

The third Castle Farm lodge on this list, and the one to pick if you are travelling with children. The bunk bedroom downstairs shares a wet room with a second king-size, so bedtime is straightforward. Outside, the garden backs onto a field where alpacas and miniature ponies graze, and kids can get close enough to feed them. The lodge itself is warm, well-equipped, and quieter than you would expect with three other lodges nearby. Wedmore village is a mile away for supplies. Jo and Neil are responsive hosts who genuinely enjoy welcoming families.

Between Crowcombe and Stogumber, this compact studio cottage has countryside views that the photos do not do justice to. The king-size bed is comfortable, the kitchen covers the basics, and the sheltered patio catches the sunset. You can hear the West Somerset Steam Railway chuffing past in the distance, which adds to the character rather than disturbing it. The hot tub is out in the open with countryside on every side. Andy the owner is attentive without being intrusive. Bicknoller Inn is the nearest pub and does excellent food.

A 15th-century thatched cottage on the edge of Wellington with beamed ceilings, inglenook fireplaces, and chickens wandering the front lawn.

The garden is private and full of flowers, with the hot tub tucked away, so you are looking at flowers rather than neighbours. Fred the owner lives on site and is genuinely helpful without hovering. The Devon border is minutes away, and the Somerset coast and West Somerset Railway are both within easy reach. Dog-friendly with good walks from the door.

Everything here is ground floor, modern, and well thought out. Underfloor heating throughout, a deep hot tub in the enclosed rear garden, and an open-plan layout that feels sociable without being cramped. Both bedrooms have smart TVs, and the shower is worth lingering in. The garden is fully fenced, which dog owners will appreciate. Barrie manages the property and checks in personally, sorting any issues quickly. Quantock Hills walks are close, and Berrow Beach is a favourite for dogs year-round. You can hear the M5 faintly, but most people stop noticing after the first evening.

A Grade II listed farmhouse on 80 acres at the foot of the Brendon Hills, with an Iron Age fort in the grounds you can walk up to. The 29-foot lounge has fireplaces at both ends, beamed ceilings, and original window seats. Five bedrooms over two floors, an Aga in the kitchen, and a games room with table football for rainy days. The south-facing patio has a six-person hot tub with views across open countryside. Deer visit the garden at dusk. Guests from four months to 67 years have all found enough space. The steep driveway needs care in the dark.

Thornhills Farm outside Othery, with five bedrooms across two floors and enough room for 10. The ground-floor double bedroom and bathroom suit older guests or anyone with limited mobility. Upstairs, a super-king, a king, a double, and a twin cover most group configurations. The sitting room has a wood burner, and the conservatory floods with light for morning breakfasts. Children and adults both gravitate to the hot tub in the garden. Wells, Glastonbury, and Minehead are all within 30 minutes, and the owners respond quickly if anything needs fixing.

The super-king bed here is the kind you actually struggle to leave in the morning.
