This was our second stay at Hollybush Barn and we loved it the first time round and weren’t disappointed this time. The lodges are very clean and had everything we needed to relax and unwind while using it as a base to explore the area. We particularly liked sitting on the veranda during dusk and into the evening, watching the stars come out, listening to and watching the wildlife.

Steve United Kingdom

Accomodation was clean and very well presented. Everything we needed for a mini break. A perfect location for exploring whilst also being rural enough to be quiet and relaxing.

Chloe United Kingdom

We couldn't have wished for a nicer stay! The lodge was exceptionally clean and was equipped with everything we'd need for a self catering holiday. The beds were very comfortable and there were so many thoughtful touches around the lodge like binoculars for bird watching, decorated wheelbarrow to transport luggage, chocolates on the beds and a basket of treats on arrival. All these extra touches made our stay even more special. My daughter loved the lodge so much she couldn't wait to get back to it every afternoon after our day trips out! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for self-catering accommodation in Somerset.

Karen United Kingdom

Highly recommended! The accommodation is fantastic, well equipped, very clean, and comfortable. The peace and quiet (it is rural) was exactly as hoped for. Thank you!

Jason United Kingdom

2nd year in a row, and we brought some friends this time. Looking forward to next year already.

John United Kingdom

Host review score
Fancy escaping to an idyllic countryside retreat in Somerset? Nestled in the heart of the Mendip Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty, you’ll find Hollybush Lodges. Three beautiful wooden lodges situated on the edge of the small rural village of Leigh on Mendip, tastefully furnished and very comfortable. Come and enjoy the tranquil setting, country views and varied wildlife. Listen to the church bells ring, the vibrant chatter of birds busily nesting in the hedgerows, maybe even hear the owl hooting his goodnights... All of our lodges are of a high standard, light and airy with a spacious open plan kitchen / lounge area, are well equipped and sleep 4 people. Travel cots and high chairs are provided should you wish to bring along a baby or toddler under 2 years old. Our lodges sit in a pleasant lawned area, wooden picnic tables and benches allow you to soak up the great outdoors and eat al fresco in the Somerset sunshine. Bird song is plentiful as is wildlife like pheasants, rabbits and deer. Hollybush Lodges are a perfect retreat for self catering holidays – just check-in and we will leave you to your own devises to relax, recharge and enjoy your stay!
A very warm welcome from us all at Hollybush Lodges! We are a family run business and are delighted that you will be coming to join us for a rural getaway. Look forward to having you stay.
We are well placed to enjoy many of the West Country’s delights which include the award-winning market towns of both Frome and Wells, the world heritage city of Bath, the mystical Tor and fantastic music festival that is Glastonbury, close to the Somerset Levels too (which offer both willow / wetland visitor centres, fantastic bird watching and murmurations), near to Longleat Safari Park and it's exceptional house and grounds, The Bath and West Showground with it's many events and lots more besides… plenty to see and do and all within easy reach of our lodges. Gastro pubs are not in short supply either such as The Talbot at Mells, Archangel in Frome and The Mendip Inn near Oakhill. If you prefer a taste of village life, then the quaint local village pub is just a few minutes walk from your lodge, should you not wish to venture any further for a taste of crisp sweet Somerset Cider…! Step out of your lodge and enjoy country walks or rambles, riding stables are within easy walking distance, Vobster Diving Centre just a 5 minute drive away, a village park nearby for little ones to run and have fun in. Babington House (teamed with Soho House, London) is just 5 mins drive.
