Swandown, 14 Goldenhaye Reviews

Heather
We loved our stay at Swandown. The lodge had everything we needed. The pool made our holiday. The gardens at cricket st thomas were stunning and great to walk our dog. The golf range was also very family friendly. A comfy chair on the landing to enjoy those views is missing and the tv should be in the living area not the kitchen so you can still look out the big windows while watching a bit of tv. The windwistle pub has shut down. Fantastic base to explore with Devon a 10 minute drive away. We also visited Cheddar gorge another great day out about an hours drive. All in all this is a hidden gem and we would definitely return.
Pauline
Absolutely gorgeous property. The lodge is very comfortable and has everything you could possibly need for a fabulous stay. We would definitely stay again and most certainly recommend.
Tracey
Exceptional accommodation and stunning setting. As a family of 3 generations there was something for everyone. All of the team we encountered, especially Helen and Joe, were super helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back and so happy to have found this gem of a UK holiday location.
Suzanne
Fantastic holiday home in beautiful surroundings. Extremely well maintained home and gardens, all the home comforts you could ask for. The maintenance team Joe and Vicky were helpful and informative and hats off to them for keeping the place immaculate. A grab rail for the downstairs bathroom would be great and somewhere to keep shampoo ect in the shower my elderly mother struggled a bit without those. However on the whole it was faultless and we would recommend Skyes and Swandown to everyone. The walk to the hotel grounds was stunning and the fact we could use the gym and pool at the hotel was great. We loved using the holiday home hot tub just looking at the stars! A real home from home and we give it 5 stars!
Collette
Lovely lodge, as described. Very clean and well stocked kitchen for self catering. The use of the swimming pool and hot tub was ideal as unfortunately we had a wet week. Very easy to visit places as good location. A couple of things to note, heating was a bit fiddly and one of the bedrooms in particular was quite hot as I think it was above the boiler. We had two dogs and the garden was a real bonus but please be aware not fully enclosed and there are farm animals on the pathway walks. All in all though a lovely and relaxing stay we would certainly visit again.
Lesley
House was exactly as the pics showed and wellequipped. Great base for exploring Somerset and Devon.
Leroy really made it for us. He is such an asset to the owners! Very thoughtful, helpful and chilled! Lovely spacious well equipped clean house with great views. Our only negative was that the hot tub wasn't as powerful as we usually experience. Great location too. Not far from the coast and other attractions. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Vanessa
A fantastic break away , the lodge was well equipped, extremely comfortable and the views were lovely as well . When checking in Leroy made us feel extremely welcome and could not do enough to ensure our stay was a memorable one . We would definitely return to this beautiful place
Fantastic proprty in a beaitiful location.
Michael
The listing made it clear that guests had access to services in the nearby hotel. However, having walked to the hotel, we were told on arrival that there was no contract in place between Swandown and the hotel and there hadnt been for some time. It was clearly not the first time that the hotel had told guests that this was the case, so we are very disappointed that the listing had not been corrected as this was part of our reason for deciding on choosing Swandown. Also the path to the nearby pub was only illuminated in places lights exist but are not all working. Not sure who owns the path to the pub but if its one down then it would be good to get the path lights repaired. Other than that, we had a lovely weekend and would recommend swan Down
Stuart
Accommodation was amazing and position was great for a nice relaxing peaceful break away. Onsite pool where you book a slot for your accommodation was a bonus but unfortunately unable to use due to our grandson breaking his arm just before trip. Staff onsite very helpful and friendly. Will definitely consider staying again.
We had a very enjoyable stay. The property was ideal for a group of three couples to celebrate a special birthday together. We walked from the property and enjoyed the use of the hotel pool and steam rooms nearby. The hot tub was great for relaxing in and was well looked after by the site manager. My one very small niggle was that having read how well equipped the kitchen was on another review , I had wrongly assumed basics such as salt and pepper would be in the property. Luckily all easily sourced in nearby shops or just pack everything you might need if you are cooking!
The property is fantastic, the open space of the lounge area is bright and spacious. Bedrooms 3 of, all come with own bathrooms which makes getting ready all the much easier. Lovely modern and well maintained. would love one for myself.
Dennis
Nice well equipped accommodation in a lovely setting. Would benefit from the addition of a couple of sunloungers.
Property was equipped to a high standard, with plenty of room for four adults and two children, including parking for two cars. The location was very peaceful. We had a very enjoyable one week stay. Two potential improvements to make the lodge even better would be television in ground floor bedroom a couple of sunbeds on the patio.
The lodge was excellent and well appointed. Leroy was so helpful as well and it was as good as our previous visit. So good we will be booking for next year.
The lodge was fab and the facilities were excellent. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The only thing we would recommend is that if this is a family lodge then a large rug in the lounge area would be better for babiestoddlers to play on and a black out blind in the twin bedroom as the curtains let too much light in.
Richard
This was our second stay at Swandown and this is our first review. Our family of 4 we have twin boys aged 11 love coming here, the standard of the lodges are fantastic we have stayed at lodges 9 and 14 everything you need is at hand in the kitchen, the living areas are very comortable and have plenty of space and the outdoor areas are lovely too. The staff are very welcoming, great to deal with and friendly. The supermarkets are a 10 minute drive, the local pub a 5 minute walk and has fantastic views from the garden and the local golf club all welcome is a 5 minute drive, both are great for eating out. The likes of Lyme Regis, Sidmouth, Burnham, Weymouth & Teignmouth are reachable in an hour and Minehead, Torquay and Bournemouth around 90 mins so perfectly located for day trips out. This is one of our favourites and we will definately be returning.
It was a lovely stay everything was perfect for us and Leroy was very helpful and informative
