The lodge is celebrated for its quiet, rural setting with beautiful surrounding countryside and proximity to walks and nature, although the remote location down a single track may not suit everyone.
Reviewers find the lodge to be comfortable, with special mentions of cosy furnishings, comfortable beds, and a warm atmosphere, despite a few comments about being cold due to single glazing.
The property is well-equipped with a special nod to the kitchen and lounge areas. Some minor criticisms include the need for bathroom decor updates and the limited heat from the wood burner.
The hosts are frequently commended for their considerate touches, including a luxurious welcome hamper. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, they are a gracious bonus and may vary with each stay.
About this property
Nestled at the foot of the Quantock Hills in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Hearn Lodge is an exceptionally spacious holiday home overlooking a beautiful rural valley.
Hearn Lodge plunges you into a rural idyll, with access to twelve acres of wildlife meadows, a stream and pond right from your front door. The property adjoins the owner’s home, Hearn Farm, and has excellent views of its own secluded flower garden, along with an apple tunnel and an adjacent walled garden.
Inside the property, you’ll find a large and well-equipped farmhouse kitchen, a spacious living room and a south-facing conservatory. The sitting room is the perfect place to relax after a day out and about in the fresh air, with a wood burning stove to keep you warm and cosy. The furniture is farmhouse style, with a Welsh dresser and a pew creating a homely feel.
Local pubs provide excellent food and just a short ten minute drive is the large and attractive village of Bishops Lydeard where you will find many shops including a deli and a brewery featuring local produce. Hearn Lodge puts you within easy reach of the Quantock moors, with wild ponies, deer and superb coastal views, as well as the Somerset Levels and Exmoor. When you’re done exploring, relax in the garden on the outdoor furniture.

Spacious farmhouse with lovely garden. House is spotless, kitchen very well equipped, beds comfortable, bathrooms with gushy, hot showers. The welcome basket is a sight to behold - most generous. Ideally located for walks in the Quantocks and the steam railway is just down the road in Bishops Lydeard.

Hearn Lodge is an exceptional home. The location is absolutely beautiful, the garden was a delight to walk round, the house itself was comfortably furnished and well equipped with generous sized rooms throughout. The hamper which awaited us was totally unexpected and the contents were delicious! We met Mr. Doble, the owner, who lives next door and he was very welcoming.
