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

"All the utilities and more that you need. I was impressed with how much was provided. The main bedroom was lovely with an extra wardrobe room for clothes etc but the toilet did feel very tight close to the door. Unsure if a bath is necessary but it was lovely and clean."
Verified Guest - Jan 2025
"A great Christmas get away and break in Cheddar Woods. Our lodge was a perfect match for our requirements. Large enough to get plenty of space for the Christmas decorations and family to very comfortably move around. Large table for lunch and a well stocked Kitchen. The hot tube just added to the Christmas holiday and was a great way to finish of the evening. It was all in all, a great get away and location. Fully recommended."

Verified Guest - Dec 2024
"I love staying at this lodge we go once a year at Christmas to exchange presents with friends from wales, I didnt know how bad each lodge could be and we just booked what was available at a good price, the lodge we booked was a lot smaller the beds were tiny and only really for children no room in the twin room at all, only living room space for 4 people yet it is a lodge for 6! It hasnt stopped us from booking again but this time we have paid a lot extra to have a better quality lodge. Hopefully this time its not going to be as small or tired as the one we booked for 2024 (Dec)"

"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"

"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
"We opted to not have a hot tub, it was the end of November and we were both getting over colds. The accommodation was great, nice and spacious and all kitted out with what you need for a good break"
