The lodge was perfect for our group of four couples, a young child and a dachshund. We could relax in the spacious lounge and enjoyed the hot tub. We would completely recommend this property. Thanks to Karen.

Wonderful property- would stay again
A fantastic property and great location. Such a lovely stay- we all really enjoyed ourselves and would absolutely book again. Karen was great and on hand for anything you needed. We loved that you could purchase fresh eggs. Facilities were great and didn’t need anything! Kids loved the pool and the hot tub was great too.

Hillside lodge was amazing !
Really great place to stay for large group get together, we had 6 adults and 4 kids staying at one point and it didn’t feel crowded at all! The place was really clean and the grounds and amenities were really excellent. We met one of the hosts and he was super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to everyone to go for. A stay ! Lovely and quiet and a great base for day trips to cheddar, wells and only an hour or so the coast and Bristol.

A lovely luxury lodge!
We had a fabulous 4 night stay in this lovely lodge. So impressed with the standard of accommodation. Everything was finished to a very high standard. Plenty of room for lounging together, also having a TV in each room meant you could chill away from the group as well. The wood burner was lovely and we did light it although the lodge was really warm & cosy without it. The outdoor space was perfect especially the hot tub & sun beds. The location was peaceful and so pretty. We visited the shared outdoor pool which I imagine is really popular on a summers day. Access to the property via a single track road in both directions was sometimes tricky with the odd tractor passing by but to be expected for the area. Not far from Cheddar which was lovely to walk around & see the sights. Would highly recommend & book again in the future. Thank you Karen & Brian.

Great place, particularly for a group
The property is nestled in the pretty countryside and is very peaceful. The lodge was impeccably clean, warm and comfortable. There was plenty of space for six adults from four different households, occupying four double rooms and the large dining table allowed us to gather round and play cards and board games. We were very impressed.

Great family get together
We had a fantastic stay for our annual family get together. The lodge is fantastic, loads of space and kitted out to a high spec. The hot tub was of course a great addition and heated to a lovely temperature. Karen was super responsive and very quick to pop tea towels and oven gloves in which had got missed at the last changeover. Located in a great spot down a country lane - climbing the hill opposite is a must if you can, amazing views!

Lovely holiday
Just got home from a week at hillside and we’re already wanting to come back and stay again, the area/walks are rural and just countryside, very peaceful, the lodge is modern and luxury, it was 19degrees nearly everyday and sunbathing in the garden on the sun loungers felt like we was abroad it was a proper sun trap! comfy big bed and a really spacious living/kitchen area! We will 100% be coming back all u can hear is birds chirping and farm animals so peaceful!

Perfect Family Getaway
We surprised my brother for his 40th birthday with this little getaway. We all haven't been to Somerset since we were younger so it was lovely. Perfect location and even better as provided in the property was a book with local information (e.g restaurants/takeaways/activities). We had the Hillside lodge which was absolutely incredible- so clean! Karen is so friendly and helpful especially leading up to the stay regarding our family dog. The property is perfect for any type of getaway! I would highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Hansford

Host profile image
Brian and Caroline Ladd, both in their sixties, have lived at Tor Farm for 33 years and originally farmed the land. They have brought up 4 children who all left home and now have 8 grandchildren to enjoy. For the last 24 years they have offered B&B in the farmhouse, but now want to take things a little quieter, and are just offering 9 holiday cottages, so that they can spend more time with their family. Their main interests are gardening, playing bridge and touring Britain in their caravan.

Why they chose this property

We originally bought the land, the holiday cottages now stand on in 1985, when it was a dairy farm. We have farmed for many years until it was no longer viable, and decided to turn the old farm yard, and farm house in to luxury self catering holiday accommodation. We still live on site, so we can welcome new arrivals, and sort out any concerns or problems guests may have.

What makes this property unique

You can enjoy the countryside from your own door step. Private hot tubs to massage away everyday stresses. Car parking close to accommodation. Shared heated swimming pool to exercise in or just relax on the terraces. 4 lodges dog friendly. Walk your dogs down the quiet country lane outside the cottage. Close to Cheddar Gorge, Longleat Safari Park and the coast.
