We have stayed at The Langbury many times when it was a hotel and so really looked forward to staying at The Garden Lodge on a self catering basis. The extremely high standards that we came to expect have continued here without exception. The owners Paula and Nigel are to be congratulated and we have no hesitation in recommending staying here.

A lovely well-appointed garden lodge with all facilities for a comfortable holiday. Beautifully kept and very clean. The owners were on hand to sort out any problems (there weren't any!). Quiet and peaceful, away from main roads yet very handy for the beach and the West Somerset Railway. I would highly recommend this property!
