About Cheddar Woods Resort and Spa

With stunning views across the countryside, and set in an Area of Outstanding Beauty, Cheddar Woods Resort and Spa offer beautifully furnished lodges and a host of activities to suit people of all ages. The park nestles on the slopes of the Mendip Hills, close to Wells, Weston-Super-Mare and Street.

There's a magnificent tropical indoor pool as well as a fully equipped gym and health club. The kids will love to try their hands at target shooting, fencing, WaterWalkerz, sea scooters, raft building and snorkelling and there's also a soft play area and a Go Juniors activity programme. You can hire bikes at the park and set off to explore this part of Somerset.

Axbridge Lodge Premier sleeps up to six people and has been decadently designed with every comfort in mind - a master double bedroom with ensuite power shower, flat screen TV and patio doors that lead out onto a decking area with a sunken outdoor hot tub.

Ashton Windmill at Axbridge is an 18th-century flour mill with great views over Cheddar Gorge and of course, the Caves themselves are well worth visiting, with their mirror pools, stalagtites and stalagmites.

Cheddar Woods Resort and Spa FAQs

Where is Cheddar Woods Resort & Spa?

Cheddar Woods Resort & Spa is set on the slopes of the Mendip Hills in Cheddar, Somerset. It's a truly beautiful part of the UK which is famous for its Limestone hills which rise to over 1000 feet. Here you'll find caves, including the Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole, and Gough's Cave.

Where can you park?

Parking is nice and easy here as you can park right next to your lodge. You can leave your car there for the duration of your stay.

Can I bring my own cot bed?

Yes but mattresses or bedding cannot be provided for cots, and some accommodation types may not have sufficient space to accommodate a cot bed.

Can you get Tesco, Asda and other shopping delivered here?

Yes, you can get shopping delivered here. Just set the delivery slot to after 6pm and give the name of your lodge. This a brilliant idea that I saw someone doing on a lodge break. Why spend hours packing and unpacking your food and supplies when you can get it directly delivered to your door? 

Is there a shop at Cheddar Woods Resort?

Yes, there is a small shop where you can buy the essentials you might need for your break.

Can you rent a high chair?

Yes, high chairs area available at Cheddar Woods either at the time of your booking, or when you get there. The fee is £15 for the length of your stay.

Is there an enclosed space for pets?

If you're taking your dog with you to Cheddar Woods Resort, you have a dedicated enclosed decking area and the lodges have gates that will keep pets from harm.

 

Cheddar Woods Resort and Spa Reviews

"4 nights in November, great value."
Verified Guest - Dec 2024
"Some of the doors are very squeaky which was a bit of a pain when trying to put young kids to bed but thats only a minor thing. The lodge could do with a few minor refurbishments like the bathroom door was very old and chipped and some of the skirting boards in the bathroom were a bit tatty but we really couldnt fault the holiday at all. The hot tub and the washer/drier were an excellent addition"
Natalie - Dec 2024
"Beds uncomfy"
Verified Guest - Dec 2024
"We did have problems with the dishwasher not working properly, but it was dealt with quickly"
Deborah - Dec 2024
"Tired accommodation in need of some tender love and care.Lodge was cramped with dirty carpets, missing items like window catches and curtain tie backs. Sofa seat cushions sagged and there was a strong smell of body odour throughout the lodge ."

"This lodge was perfect in every way from arrival onward. The beds were made on arrival & everything was spotlessly clean. The complimentary items were a nice touch & loved that it had a dishwasher & washing machine/dryer. The lodge was spacious for 4 people but feel pushing it to 6 may be overload but possible as their is a sofa bed...We managed to get this break in November at a greatly reduced rate & couldn't have been more happy with our overall stay.."
Gilly - Dec 2024

"Glastonbury Premiere lodge was very worn. Carpets and sofa were stained, curtains frayed. The fronts of the kitchen doors and cupboards were peeling. Bedroom drawer fronts fell off. Hot tub, jets did not all work. We were told that the park was full so no option to change lodges. Very expensive 3 day break in a poor quality lodge. Childrens activities were good, although not for very long for the cost. We will not be returning."
