General

Duckling Lodge is a single storey holiday lodge situated at Wall Eden Farm, near Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset. Enjoying a stunning position in the Somerset countryside overlooking a small lake, Duckling Lodge has a private hot tub* and is one of eight holiday lodges set on an ex-dairy farm on the edge of the beautiful Somerset Levels. Onsite you’ll find rare-breed sheep and chickens to keep you company – the chickens provide fresh eggs that can be purchased from the farm shop.

Inside, this cosy holiday lodge is furnished in a log cabin style and sleeps 2 people in one double bedroom, but can accommodate 2 extra people by using the sofa bed. There is an open plan living and dining area, plus a very well-equipped kitchen. The comfortable sofa faces large patio doors through which you can enjoy tranquil views over the pond and surrounding countryside. Outside there is a small patio with a picnic table for al fresco dining.

Wall Eden Farm offers a range of extra activities such as fishing, kayaking and archery. There is also a Café / Bar onsite where you can enjoy drinks, snacks, cakes, etc.

Duckling is classed as a bronze-standard accessible holiday cabin, with parking close by and level access with double door entry (with a small lip). There is a wet room with toilet rail and a range of equipment that you can also hire such as profile beds, commode chairs and shower chairs, if required.

Duckling Lodge is situated in a particularly pretty area of Somerset and Wall Eden Farm is the perfect location from which to explore the county of Somerset. The lodge is approximately 15 minutes’ drive from the coast.
