Cheddar Woods Resort And Spa - Conference Lodge

Spent a wonderful week at Cheddar Woods, the cabins were clean and well equipped for a self catering stay, including dishwasher and washing machine. We had a hot tub, which was wonderful and hot, and a fake fire place which heats up quickly. The heating and hot water was brilliant, as was the water pressure. There was a heated pool, which again was clean and open mornings and afternoon. There was walks, and Cheddar Gorge is close by. We took a walk down, but take the longer route as it has a path! The staff were friendly, it was great for kids they have a little arcade with cheap £1 rides and a playground outside the restaurant. We didn’t eat in there, but the food looked good. I recommend the fresh milk from the shop, it is delicious. It is a great location, and in beautiful woods. We will be back!

The resort was clean, tidy, well maintained. modern and had lots of activities to choose from with a full itinerary for each week that you were at the resort. The staff were friendly, helpful, the grounds were well kept and the pool was very clean throughout. There is a full itinerary of activities each week for children to early tweens (for a small fee for each) the restraint is modern and inviting and has a good varied menu. We didn't eat in the restaurant, but it was fully booked each night of our stay. However, although our lodge was spacious and the hot tubs were cleaned and maintained daily, our lodge interior did feel a bit tired, some cupboard doors did not close properly and the laminate was peeling off some, there were some dirty marks on the walls, some of the bedroom doors were damaged at the bottom and the floor was dirty on arrival and there was an obvious picture missing from the wall. The single beds were also quite flimsy, whilst the frames were thick wood, it had seen better days. i think a bit of maintenance and attention to detail would be good rather than them just being cleaned.. We were in a premier lodge, so would expect a bit more comfort and finesse. As a travel agent, i always like to give an honest opinion as these are also potential stays for my clients. Maybe we were just unlucky with ours as the reviews have been very mixed, its a shame as even though it didn't ruin our holiday, we were left a little disappointed otherwise the resort is very nice and that is evident upon arrival. otherwise, we had a good amount of privacy, it was lovely being surrounded by the woodland and the countryside and would come back again.
