About this property

Otters’ Lodge: Beautiful countryside cottage close to beaches and attractions.

Otters' Lodge is a newly refurbished & decorated two-bedroom bungalow tucked away in the beautiful, peaceful Somerset countryside but close to the popular beaches, shops, restaurants and attractions of Weston-super-Mare, Burnham-on-Sea and Uphill.

Accommodation comprises a double bedroom with double bed and bedside cabinets with touch lamps, chair, wardrobe, cupboard and two wall mirrors. This room also benefits from access to the private courtyard.

The second bedroom has single bed with trundle to accommodate a fourth guest, chest of drawers, wardrobe, wall mirror and touch lamp. Please note that the listed price is for up to three guests. Use of the trundle bed will result in space restrictions inside the room and so there is only a small surcharge applied for a fourth guest.

All beds (including the trundle) benefit from new pocket sprung memory mattresses with Egyptian cotton linen to ensure a comfortable and luxurious night's sleep. Adult guests are also provided with fluffy towelling bathrobes.

The well equipped galley kitchen has a large American style fridge/freezer, electric oven/hob, microwave, toaster and kettle and quality crockery, glassware and crockery. The kitchen is located off the dining area which is furnished with beautiful Jali wood furniture, including a table that seats four guests; and the sitting area with two large luxury sofas, table & lamp, floor rug and FreeView TV equipped with a PS3 (Which can be used as a DVD/Bluray player) and a collection of games. Guests can also use the Firestick to access a variety of TV stations and a Bluetooth portable player to listen to music on your phone or iPad.

The utility room houses a washing machine with ironing board & iron and vacuum cleaner and leads to the fully tiled, modern shower room with WC and waterfall basin. Egyptian cotton hand & bath sheets/towels and bathrobes are provided for our guests.

The private courtyard garden with its beautiful flower border and pots is accessed via the sitting/dining area and double bedroom. Here you can enjoy the comfortable rattan seating with coffee table for three people, with further seating for two people on the Keter bench (which also stores all the cushions). An Outback BBQ is also provided for guests' use to make full use of outdoor living in this beautiful suntrap garden.

Private parking is available for up to two cars at the front of the property. Guests can also make use of the free, secure WiFi. The property benefits from storage heating which will keep you cosy on Winter breaks and window blinds in addition to lined curtains. Otters' Lodge has an information pack to provide you with information on your holiday home and details of places to visit during your stay with us, including the local beaches, restaurants & pubs, family day's out, shopping, restaurants and local leisure/spa centres.


We want our guests to have a relaxing, stress-free stay with us, so if you need anything or have forgotten to bring anything with you, we are always happy to help!

Great getaway
Stayed for a long weekend with our two little girls & this was an ideal base for heading out into the Somerset countryside/coast. Friendly welcome from Jake and everything was a cut above - none of the basic IKEA furniture & kitchenware you often get in holiday rentals.

Lovely well equipped cottage
We had a lovely welcome and the owners had given us fresh local milk and chicken eggs from their own hens. The cottage had everything we needed and was perfectly situated to explore the area. The only thing that let it down was the cleanliness otherwise a lovely place to stop

Relaxing and Convenient
The communication with the owner, Jake was superb! Any questions were quickly answered and Jake was always available for help. The cottage was spotless, beds are better than my own! Lovely quiet enclosed courtyard, entertainment options were great and suited my 3 and 5 year old, mother and myself. Fantastic touch of teabags, coffee, sugar, fresh milk from the local farm, eggs from the rescue chickens and lots of extras like tea towel, washing liquid, tin foil... short drive through the countryside to beaches, farms, attractions... definitely recommend!!

Sehr niedliches gemütliches Haus
Alles ist sehr sauber und mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett. Eine Fliegenklatsche kann ich nur empfehlen, da auf der anderen Straßenseite Kühe stehen und die Fliegen anziehen. Es ist schön ruhig.

Toller Urlaub in einem schönen Cottage
Absolut empfehlenswert !!! Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt in Otter`s Lodge. Das Haus war sehr sauber, es ist alles vorhanden was man braucht. Die Betten sind super bequem und die gesamte Ausstattung sehr gemütlich. Nach unseren Ausflügen in die nähere und weitere Umgebung konnte man die Abende im Innenhof genießen. Jake. der Vermieter, ist ein sehr netter und sympathischer Typ, der immer zur Stelle war wenn man ihn brauchte und uns bei Fragen sofort weiter geholfen hat. Sollten wir unseren Urlaub noch mal in dieser schönen Gegend verbringen, dann sicherlich in Otter`s Lodge.

Perfection
Just returned from 3 nights away in otters lodge, and the only word that sums it up is perfection, the cottage is lovely, clean, and just so homely,some essentials were left for us to use, milk, tea coffee, toilet rolls, which was a real bonus, the enclosed courtyard was lovely to sit out and have a drink the sun was always out for us, the beds were so comfy as well and on the tele you got to use Netflix and amazon prime which again was great, all in all the cottage is a lil gem and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet holiday

Friendly, helpful host and very clean and comfortable home
Comfortable beds, good shower and surprisingly spacious for a two bedroom cottage with a pretty courtyard space as well. Host, Jake, was always on hand and greeted us in the rain with helpful tips and suggestions. I would recommend this place. Thank you Jake from myself and my boys.

A warm welcome at a lovely holiday cottage
We have just returned from weekend break at the 'Otters Lodge' and were delighted with the property. The owners Lorrayne & Jake made us feel very welcome to what is an immaculately presented property. The cottage was clean, well furnished and beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. If anything, the photo's don't really do it justice! We would definitely recommend this property and hope to stay again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Jake & Lorrayne

Host profile image
We are mother (Lorrayne) and son (Jake) and we look forward to welcoming you soon to our holiday home, Otters' Lodge. We live in the adjacent building, but fully understand how important it is to leave our guests to fully enjoy their well-earned holiday and to have a relaxed and stress-free stay. But you can be reassured that if you need anything at all, or have forgotten to pack anything, we're here to help!

We moved to Somerset from London (where both of us were born - one a lot earlier than the other!) and now consider beautiful Somerset and its friendly people as our home and family; we hope that you will come to feel this way about your holiday home.

Why they chose this property

Otters' Lodge is in a beautiful, peaceful location, surrounded by fields of grazing cows and a short walk or cycle ride in the surrounding area will reveal so many wonderful sights; birds, wildlife and plants. However, we are not at all isolated, being around 5 miles from Weston-super-Mare, Burnham-on-Sea, Brean and Uphill with their long stretches of beaches, attractions, restaurant and shopping. We are ideally placed to visit attractions further afield in Bristol, Exeter and Bath.

The property has been recently decorated and furnished to a very high standard with new, luxury mattresses, Egyptian cotton sheets, luxurious bedding and towels.

Otters' Lodge is located next to Otters' Holt which provides accommodation for up to 6 guests.

What makes this property unique

The property used to be farm buildings and many of the beams, stone & brick work still remain.

For further pampering, it is a short walk to Rookery Manor's Spa Centre or a short drive or cycle ride to the Webbington Leisure Centre with fully equipped gym, steam room and swimming pool.

Wi-Fi is free of charge to our guests.
