Lovely place to stay
The property was very clean. Ideally located for the reservoir and mud free dog walk. If you don’t mind a bit of a stroll you can walk into Cheddar town. Overall a lovely place to stay.

Strawberry lodge was lovely.
Strawberry lodge was lovely. Immaculate inside and out. There's a few reviews about "an ungodly amount of spiders" in the high ceiling? I didn't see any. It's probably the cleanest ceiling I've ever seen! The cooking equipment was lovely high quality items - we had everything we could possibly need :) Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Other than the unholy amount of spiders and creepy crawlies on the ceilings the lodge was perfect! Amanda and her husband were so lovely and welcoming and helping out so much when we had troubles on the first night! Couldn’t be more great full! The location was quiet and cozy with walks all around you! Our pooch loved it. Overall it was perfect and other than the bugs I can’t say a bad word about it! The lodge just needs a dust and clean on the ceilings to get rid of the creepers! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Only gave 9/10 as didn’t have constant hot water.... seemed to be only after a certain time of the morning.... but wasn’t really anything major, shower wasn’t electric so all good there. Only other thing was the coffee table in lounge area which the top was glass was unsecure.... could’ve a accident waiting to happen. But over all Strawberry Lodge was gorgeous and quiet, enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend .... thank you n hopefully be back again soon xx Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

A great lodge in a very convenient location dogs were accommodated for free which is very unusual. The owners and the cleaner very helpful and welcoming would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Good dog walks around the reservoir and easy walking to a very good pub and two small supermarkets. A perfect place to stay. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We had an amazing long weekend at Strawberry Lodge, the location is perfect for anyone that loves walking. The reservoir is a 3 minute walk from the front door and we walked to the Gorge in under an hour. Would be nice if there was a close airer (the washing machine was a blessing with a baby) The garden is lovely but would have preferred if it was fully enclosed, with the dogs. As many other mentioned there are cobwebs in the eaves, but all in all it was very clean and tidy. We definitely want to come back. Rachael the lady who came to meet us was lovely and made some great recommendations. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday, the Lodge was in walking distance of Cheddar Gorge itself, Axbridge and Cheddar Reservoir and the walks for our dogs were great with the Strawberry Line being 2 mins walk away 😁 The Lodge itself was well equipped and cosy and would have scored a very high for cleanliness other than a few cobwebs around the Lodge, however it is under lots of trees which is understandable. We would love to visit again in the future.
