Holiday rentals with lake access in South Somerset District

Our stay was brilliant, the surroundings were perfect and the secure walled garden was excellent for the dogs! Would recommend the Talbot Inn in Mells for food and drink too, only 8mins drive. Would love to stay here again, thanks Marie.

This amazing, quirky cottage is in a spectacular setting. The house is lovely and spacious, really comfortable and full of character. The valley it sits in is teeming with wildlife: we saw deer, pheasants, an owl, butterflies and so much more, all only footsteps from the door. It was such a treat. Sam and Mark were wonderful hosts, very unobtrusive but easily contactable and helpful if needed. It was the perfect place to unwind for a few days with the family. We had intended to go for out and about, but instead, we spent a lot of time enjoying the garden, the pond, playing games in front of the log burner, cooking and eating together in the well-equipped, expansive kitchen and generally having a great time. We would love to return another time. Thank you to Sam and Mark for sharing your Enchanted Mill and the lush valley. Missing it already :-)

we stayed here to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday with friends and had a fabulous time. Beautiful location, very peaceful and relaxing. Good kitchen and comfy beds.

Me and my partner had such a nice experience staying at this rural getaway. Check in was very easy and Suzanne was very kind to offer an earlier check in so we could make more of a day of our planned break. We loved the homely feel and the beautiful greenery surrounding locally. The showers and bedrooms were clean. The beds and pillows were comfy. Would love to come back and stay for longer next time.

We stayed at Mel's place for two nights for a family funeral. From the very start, she was kind, flexible and very sensitive to our situation. The house itself is beautifully decorated, and one of the best equipped Airbnbs I have ever rented. Mel has thought of everything! Parking on the drive is OK for one car and Mel sorted us a permit for another. We loved the outdoor space for our wine and fish and chips. You are really close to a supermarket, nice pubs and walks along the harbour. We were won over by Poole, and Mel's place and would love to return. Thanks for your kindness and warm hospitality.

Lovely home for our large family get together. When asked questions Elisha was very quick to respond and even recommended some lovely restaurants. We loved Penarth it’s such a lovely place to stay. We could stroll for about 20 minutes to the pier and various restaurants from the house. Also easy access into the city by train.

We booked this as a special family trip as my sister and her children were visiting from New Zealand, we wanted somewhere memorable and a bit different, Emillies place was certainly that! the photos really don't don't justice, it's a spectacular space and set in beautiful surroundings. The home was well equipped and we all agreed the beds were really comfortable- like being in a boutique hotel! and 3 bathrooms for 5 guests was amazing luxury! We had a little problem while there and Emillie sent someone round immediately to fix it! We were lucky with the weather and ale to explore the grounds and nearby Lyme, but we would have been equally happy being 'rained in' at the home!! We couldn't recommend it more highly to anyone looking for a 'something special' staycation. thanks Emillie.

Wonderful family stay for New Year’s Eve. We stayed for two nights and loved it. Beautiful accommodation, clean, exactly as described, great communication from host, who also went out of their way, to provide stair gate and high chair. Felt very secure, with gated entry, would definitely return and recommend

We had a wonderful stay in this very comfortable apartment. The bed is one of the best we've slept in. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Very close to beautiful walks and amenities. Only slight negative was the noise early in the morning when staff are preparing breakfast for the BandB guests in the main residence but we were not put off by this. We will definitely be returning.

We had a fantastic stay with Jay and Jo! The lodge was absolutely beautiful, was spotlessly clean and had everything we could have needed. The breakfast basket and fresh eggs were a lovely welcome and Jay and Jo couldn’t have been friendlier. We would absolutely recommend the lakeside lodge and cannot wait to return!

Clean fresh practical layout. Great location. Good local amenities. Fitted our requirements perfectly.

absolutely amazing place to stay felt right at home first place we have stayed where we had different things already provided we packed lots to come with us tea sugar coffee dish cloths fairy liquid so we was stunned to see that all this was already provided we had a fantastic stay Debby & Grant was amazing from booking to getting home we will definitely book through you again and be back beautiful caravan in the perfect spot close to the heart of everything thank you both me my partner and children had the best time and made amazing memories 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Very well appointed flat, very clean, very helpful hosts, great location in a great city. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location for a getaway from city life! Flat is situated in front of the beach, Terry was extremely helpful and communicative with lots of local recommendations. Flat is provided with basic amenities but you don’t need a lot if you’re in such a beautiful scenery. If you’re after a restful time in a nature, with lots of hiking / walking paths then this place is for you!

This is the perfect place, everything is catered for and as described. The location is perfect. Sheralee is the best host that I have dealt with and couldn’t be any more accommodating. You will not be disappointed if you book this wonderful apartment: Thank You ☺️

Beautiful apartment with everything u need. Right next to the ocean, u could hear the waves in the night coming in. Would recommend :)

Had a lovely stay for a few days at Jacqueline's place. Very well equipped with everything you could want - it was great having filter coffee, tea, bread, milk and a cake waiting for us on arrival. Our three year olds loved running around in the garden playing with the toy car and slide that had kindly been left out for us. Really large lovely kitchen and the whole house was deceptively spacious. Jacqueline was also a great communicator, letting us know when the place was ready on the morning of our arrival. Thanks for having us!!!

The photographs and description does not do the place justice. It is absolutely stunning. Unique in character and just simply amazing. The setting and views are beautiful. Highly recommended. Would not stay anywhere else now when visiting family in the area.

Janey was the perfect host. We arrived a little early and she very flexibly let us check-in, despite having to prepare everything herself as her cleaner was not available. We also arrived a little unprepared and on a Sunday but Janey had left all the essentials we needed to tide us over including a delicious homemade cake, croissants for breakfast the following morning, milk, butter and eggs. The setting is lovely overlooking a very large pond with a lot of visiting geese and ducks. There are little boats and life jackets for children. This is an ideal spot for a family holiday with the fossil beach at Kerridge Bay only an hour away by car and a number of lovely walks on Iron Age hill forts very close by, as well as lovely villages and National Trust properties. We would highly recommend Janey's property for a relaxing, comfortable and homely holiday. I am sure we will be back.

Angela was a wonderful host, was always ready to help with everything we needed. Had a great time at her place, the kids loved their interaction with the two horses. The home was so cosy and really beautiful. Loved the fireplace

This is a great place to stay . Catherine, the host was superb . Really helpful when I asked questions, and always replied promptly . The accommodation is great , with an AGA cooker , log stove , and a very comfy bed ! The lane to get there is very narrow, but you soon get used to it. We will be back !

The place was cozy and clean, just as described. Unfortunately, we couldn’t stay for the full duration due to a change in plans, but we still thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Frances was always available and responsive to any questions. Highly recommended!

A wonderful location and a great place to stay, everything we needed for a long weekend. Just a short walk into Wareham and surrounded by beautiful nature.

The Hermitage was perfect for a quiet getaway. It is situated in a beautiful location, with plenty of walks from your doorstep. The cottage itself is perfect, with everything you would need for a few days. Clare is a very friendly and responsive host and left a few goodies for us on arrival. She also respected our privacy. We would definitely recommend a stay at the Hermitage!
