“Thank you to our host, Elena.”

Always responsive and very helpful. Only a suggestion…not a complaint at all but would be great if there was shelter over the hot tub. We did move the patio umbrella around as this was needed in this extreme weather. We would definitely book again, such a beautiful setting with fantastic views.

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay even in the heat!! Will look into how we could add a shelter over the hot tub or maybe just have an additional parasol. Thanks for booking :) Property Owner

“We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Foxglove Lodge and couldn’t recommend it highly enough.”

From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how spotlessly clean, modern, fresh and beautifully presented everything was. The lodge is thoughtfully laid out, making it feel spacious, comfortable, and incredibly welcoming. The amenities were excellent, with everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay, including robes to use for the hot tub and a fully equipped kitchen. The location is perfect, set within peaceful countryside that’s ideal for switching off and unwinding while still being a great base for exploring the surrounding area, including a large Tesco around 10mins away and the local farm shop cafe at the top of the road. One of our favourite parts of the stay was the hot tub, sitting under the stars. It was the perfect place to relax while taking in the beautiful countryside views, and it was so lovely watching the cows, sheep, and rabbits nearby. It really added to the peaceful atmosphere and made our stay feel extra special. Elena was a fabulous host, making sure everything was wonderful for our stay and was available to contact if needed. Overall, Foxglove Lodge exceeded all of our expectations. We had a fantastic stay and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Thank you for such a memorable and relaxing getaway!

“We had a wonderful 4 days at Foxglove.”

Elena warmly welcomed us and explained everything we needed to know. The lodge is secluded, well equipped and beautiful. Looks even better than on the pictures. The view from the lodge is stunning and the hot tub is amazing! Everything was just perfect. We will definitely be back!

“Such beautiful accommodations, clean and comfy, hot tub, wood burning fire, views of the rolling countryside, animals and birds.”

Next to the lovely town of Chard. Great walks and a pub and farm shop near by with exceptional food. A special place to unwind and relax. Thank you Elena for your hospitality. We would absolutely stay here again.

“Had an amazing peaceful time.”

Property extremely clean. Log burner excellent and relaxed each evening in the hot tub looking up atcthe stars and moon. Cooked pizza's in the pizza oven. Elegant and Ed were perfect hosts explained everything we needed to know and then let us get on it with the peace of mind if we needed anything we could just ring and ask. Everyone should have a break away in Foxglove.

- Kate, December 2025

Thank you so much for the amazing feedback! You were great guests and left the lodge lovely and tidy :) hope to see you again! Property Owner
Jen November 2025

“We had a wonderful holiday in Foxglove in November, we couldn't have wanted more!”

Elena was so lovely, met us on arrival and kept in touch throughout our stay. We ordered a savoury platter for when we arrived and it was fabulous (and generous!), and Elena also added a lovely touch because we were celebrating an anniversary. The whole stay felt very special, even though the weather was very mixed. Waking up to greenery, cows and birdsong (and deer on one day) was such a tonic. The property is super comfortable and has everything you could need. We have a 3 year old and there's so much to do in the local area, and plenty of space for her to play and chill out. The nearby nature reserve was great, and with an unexpectedly brilliant new Thai cafe, really amazing food! This was a great first stay at Foxglove and hopefully it won't be our last! Thank you Elena, it was the break we needed :)

“Beautifully appointed cottage with ample space for 4 people, Comfy beds and good showers.”

Set in the most idyllic countryside setting - peaceful and restorative. Great parking arrangements and lovely outside spaces with hot tub and decking.

Richard August 2025

“A lovely property and secluded location that was delightful.”

So many little touches made the property special and it was very well equipped with plenty of space and indeed outside space too which we much enjoyed. Owners were proactive in ensuring we had arrived without problems etc and to recommend places to eat etc. We will certainly return for a break away from it all and enjoying the countryside.

- Richard, August 2025

Thank you for your kind feedback! You were lovely guests and I’m glad that you enjoyed your stay! :) Property Owner
Gill August 2025

“Cabin was beautiful as described however the outer shared area as described was totally unacceptable.”

Overgrown and dirty . Also the oath down to the back door needs attention as it's a hazard. Steep and rough surface.

- Gill, August 2025

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you liked your stay in the lodge! Regarding the separate outdoor kitchen area, this is mainly used for our events so, we only get this area ready when we know someone is wanting to use it! Also, as mentioned we are awaiting the installation of hand rails at the lodge! Many thanks :) Property Owner
Wendy July 2025

“This is an absolutely gem of a property if you want somewhere peaceful to reset.”

Also great for children to have somewhere safe to run about. Location wise lots to do locally as well as 30-40 mins from the coast. The owner(s) were really welcoming and the property itself was beautiful, well maintained and had everything you need and more.

Thanks so much for the lovely feedback, we are glad that you enjoyed your stay! :) Property Owner
Leslie July 2025

“A lovely cabin very well equipped and had everything we needed.”

It would be perfect for those needing to book both this and the second cabin for larger family gatherings. The only downside is the access to the cabin which is quite steep for anyone with mobility issues (and even if you don’t) as there is no handrail at all and the stones to walk on could be slippy. It made unloading and loading the car an effort. I’d also have liked a bigger or more towels in the bathrooms. We did experience terrible internet connection too which the owners did try really hard to rectify but it wasn’t great. The views and peace and quiet are amazing, the local farm shop and supermarkets in Chard were minutes away so really handy.

- Leslie, July 2025

I’m glad you enjoyed your stay at Foxglove. Apologies about the internet connection, as we mentioned to you this was a network error that was out of our control but is now fixed! We are also awaiting the installation of hand rails at the entrance. We offer one bath towel and one hand towel per guest so if you needed extra I’d have been happy to provide them if asked! :) Property Owner
