About this house rental
Woodcroft lodge comprises of a single storey property set in 3 acres of glorious Somerset countryside. The views from the decking area look out across the countryside and you can also wander amongst the ancient fruit trees where you can pick as much fruit as you like in the autumn. The property itself is detached and is all on one level. The living/dinning/kitchen areas are all open plan with french windows opening out onto the decking area. There are 2 bedrooms , one with a double bed and the other with 2 twin beds. There is also a shower room. Outside there is plenty of parking with the property being accessed through electric gates.
The Taunton to Bridgwater canal is one minutes walk from the gates where you can enjoy a leisurely walk or cycle and admire all the wildlife. There is a boating centre within walking distance where you can hire canoes or kayaks or take a narrow boat ride, with a lovely cafe to have refreshments.
The county town of Taunton is only about 10 miles away, where you will find all the shops you should need. We have a shopping outlet in Street for lots of bargains! The beautiful cities of Bath and Exeter are less than an hour away and very much worth visiting.
If you like the coast you could try quaint Lyme regis with its sandy beach and fossil hunting. To the North cost we have Minehead and nearby Dunster with its beautiful castle.
If you like walking try visiting the Quantock hills and give yourself a challenge, or take one of the many lovely countryside walks around Somerset. Don't forget to try some Somerset cider while you are here and maybe visit one of the local cider making farms.
We also have the Willow and Wetland centre very near by where you watch various items being made, including baskets for Fortnum and Mason and willow coffins. In November there is the famous Bridgwater Carnival , a real light spectacular.

When we arrived at the property we were taken back on how amazing the view is from the back of the Bungalow, you can see for miles, easy to get to other parts of Somerset and a clean and well set out property a credit to the owners, I would not hesitate in booking this one again.

Woodcraft Barn was everything we hoped - comfortable, homely, clean and not far from so many interesting places. The views all round were spectacular and the wildlife in the orchard and surrounding fields were wonderful. No hesitation in recommending it.

Modern conversion with lovely views in a peaceful orchard setting. Booked a week to allow us to visit family in the area and it really was a home from home. Well equipped, clean and with all the facilities we needed. Hosts were on site but left us in peace with a light touch on rules and responsive to questions. Would certainly come back and highly recommend.

Pleasant holiday let
Please note we were upgraded to a different property so review not for property in photos.
Good no-frills accommodation in orchard setting with far-reaching countryside views. Very clean. Decent shower with plenty of hot water. Good heating system ( if needed ). Close to road so traffic noise may be a problem if you’re not used to it.

We entered the property through electric gates and drove up the drive through the Apple orchard. The Barn had been recently refurbished to a very high standard. Very modern and extremely clean. A real wow factor as you walked in the door. The bedrooms were smart with lovely views overlooking the garden which was filled with fruit trees and wildflower meadows, which had mowed paths around the meadows to walk around. This property was very private, even though the surrounding garden was communal it felt like we had it all to ourselves. There was a nice decking area to sit outside in the evening which had far reaching views across Somerset. In the bedrooms there was a lot of cupboard space and drawers for your clothes. There was also lovely clean towels for our use. It was also dog friendly as there was a lovely walk just down the road along the canal which you could either go for a short or long walk. We were only staying for 2 nights as a stop off place to break our journey up from travelling home from South Devon but we would definitely like to return again for a longer stay.

Surprise for my wife's birthday
Booked this property as a surprise for my wife's birthday but also arranged for our good friends to stay with us. The property is stunning and very clean, the grounds are simply beautiful. Restaurants, takeaways and supermarkets all within a 10 minute drive from the property which is a bonus. Would highly recommend this for a lovely weekend, want to bring my parents back next year.

Lovely place to stay.
Had a short stay at Woodcroft. The property was lovely and clean. Everything you need including some extras like tea, coffee and milk ( and a beautiful sponge cake, thank you) . Pretty surroundings and good as a base to visit the surrounding coast lines.

Gorgeous Cottage in a perfect location
We loved our stay here, from the beautiful and delicious cake which was made for our arrival to the beautiful grounds which the cottage is in.
