Thanks for an amazing stay. The House is even more beautiful, spacious and unique in real life. Amanda was so friendly and welcoming and had lit the fires ready for our arrival. It was very family friendly with kids utensils and lots of lovely toys. Would definitely come back!
ANNA
A lovely stay in a beautiful house! The perfect space for a big group of us to get together with everything we needed. The hosts Amanda and Jeremy are amazing and we felt so at home! Just wish we could have stayed longer!
ALICE
Simply, outstanding in every way. Beautiful house that despite the size and the grandeur still felt comfortable, homely and relaxing to be in. We didn't want to leave.
JOE
Amanda and Jeremy were perfect hosts. Very responsive during booking and right up to check in. We stayed for Christmas and it was wonderful. The house is so well equipped I had everything I needed to cook for 12 people. Amanda had even decorated a tree and other parts of the house so we felt right at home. The house was clean, warm and felt very homely. We had the best stay and would definitely come here again. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to friends. Thanks Amanda and Jeremy!
ELISE
You could really tell that Amanda loves this house and loves being a host. Everything was very homely and we were welcomed with a hamper with essentials. Even had up the Christmas decorations and tree which made the experience even better so close to Christmas. The space for our group was great with many different areas to sit and relax/play games. The location of the house was absolutely amazing with beautiful surrounding countryside. Amanda and Jeremy were close by if we needed anything and we’re just great hosts and lovely people. Would definitely recommend and would love to return! A proper countryside get away.
OLLIE
We stayed at Amanda’s house with a group of friends and absolutely loved it - the house is beautiful, with everything you need and plenty of room. Would definitely like to come back in the future! :)
DOMINIKA
Amanda and Jeremy were the most wonderful hosts. The house is absolutely stunning - so beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. It’s perfectly situated, with Glastonbury only a short drive away. We had a wonderful walk up the Tor and then a trip into the town. It was exceptionally clean, and Amanda was kind enough to leave us with some delicious locally made bread. We had the most wonderful weekend, thank you so much!
CHARLIE
Lubborn House is a warm and welcoming home, rich in character, whilst still having all the modern additions you should ever need. All of the rooms have beautiful, eclectic furnishings and every window has superb views of the perfectly maintained country garden. The house is spotless top to bottom and the beds are very comfortable to sleep in, we found it hard to get out of them most mornings because they were so snuggly and soft! Amanda is a wonderful host, who is very friendly and a great communicator. She gave us a tour on our arrival and even left us some freshly baked bread and honey - so delicious!
FRANCESCA
Amanda is the most perfect host you could wish for! From the little details to ensuring you are happy before leaving you to enjoy this beautiful setting, she thinks of everything and more! The house is more beautiful than the pictures can give across, and it truly comes alive when it's full of people and laughter. If you're looking for somewhere to spend some quality time with friends or family, then look no further as you have stumbled across the perfect place!
JORDAN
Amanda was a great host, very friendly and couldn’t do enough to make sure our stay was enjoyable and that we had everything we needed. The house was perfect for our multi generation family. Great for trips to local towns and attractions. The garden was a huge hit and the toy room for our little ones to enjoy was perfect. Plenty of toys for all different ages. We spent most of the time in the kitchen as it was such a cosy sociable space with the sitting area in front of the fire and huge dining table.
NATALIE
Amanda is an exemplary host and my party and I were extremely comfortable. The house is STUNNING and had everything we could wish for. It was more beautiful than the photos and a great place to stay. 100% would recommend and would love to go again!
NATALIE
Beautiful property! Lubborn House provides plenty of communal space for socialising but also spacious bedrooms and a number of bathrooms - perfect for a large group. Amanda and Jeremy were great hosts. We had a 10/10 experience.
MADELEINE
This is truly an amazing property in an amazing location. Amanda and Jeremy are wonderful hosts and made us feel right at home. I could have not asked for a better weekend away.
ANDREW
We had such a lovely stay. The house is beautifully set up to cater for a large group of friends and Amanda and Jeremy were so accommodating and friendly. 10/10!
SIMON
Amanda and Jeremy are superb and very welcoming hosts. We enjoyed a family weekend in a beautiful house with a lovely garden in a peaceful location. Our ages ranged from 85-9 years old and it suited us all.
ANN
We stayed here for a 3-day work offsite. The space was excellent, plenty of room for large group gatherings but also many separate communal spaces for smaller conversations to break out into. Being lucky with the weather in mid-September, there was even room for 10 of us to gather for two of the days around the outdoor table. The grounds were ideal too, the fire pit appreciated and the ping pong table back inside was well used. The house itself is beautiful and obviously well cared for, full of thoughtful touches well catered to large groups. I hope we'll come back for a future event.
CHRIS
A wonderful stay at an incredible house in the countryside! A perfect stay for a big group. Each room was beautifully designed, so unique and had lovely furnishings (and the beds were very comfy!) We enjoyed a lovely meal around the big dining room table which was fantastic- The kitchen had everything we needed and more! Amanda was easy to get in contact with and lived in very close proximity in case any issues, she also provided some local treats for us which was very much appreciated! Thank you.
BRONTE
An inviting and beautifully decorated home, hosted by a warm and welcoming couple. Spacious, with great facilities. A perfect long weekend retreat with easy access to the Somerset countryside. Highly recommend it.
ALI
Amanda and Jeremy are fantastic for catering for people, families, events and are excellent facilitators overall. The hosts and the home both exceeded our expectations. I don't know what to rave about most - the beautiful house, setting, facilities and furnishings, stunning outdoor space or the instant and amazing help from the host. It was a majestic weekend for us, and we were thrilled with everything from initial booking right through to check out. Can't recommend this place enough. Perfection all round!
MEERAL
We booked this property as a last minute surprise for my parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary and had the most amazing weeking. There were 12 of us and our dog and the property was absolutely perfect. It is very large so we had lots of space and the house was very homely with lots of artwork, rugs and tasteful decorations. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well kitted out. It was a lovely sunny weekend while we were there so we spent a lot of time in the enclosed garden playing croquet, rounders and badminton (there is net in the garden). However, had it been raining there was a good selection of board games and toys for smaller children. You can walk into town from the property where there is a small pub and a bakery with a great selection of sweet treats. We also did several different walks from the house with our dog, many of them along the river which he loved. The owners (Amanda and Jeremy) were incredibly helpful and kind throughout our stay and made it very special for my parents. Thank you to you both.
VIVIENNE
This is a wonderful property, oozing character with beautiful surroundings. The house has very positive energy and it is clear that there were many happy family moments here. Our stay has hopefully added to the vibe; our children loved spending time here and we all left much more relaxed and happier. The hosts were always at hand to help whilst allowing privacy. I cannot fault them in any way, this place is highly recommended to anyone but especially extended families who want to connect with each other!
JET
Hosts certainly know the local places to visit with great local knowledge. Where to wild swim, paddle board, nice walks, purchase local excellent wines from vineyards. Nothing was too much trouble for these excellent hosts.
LEN
Couldn't have asked for more. Everything well organised, easy to find and well executed. Hope to be returning in the future.
RYAN
A perfect spot for our family get together, with plenty of room and the feel of a home away from home. Both Amanda and Jeremy were charming and very responsive.
FRANCES
Dearest Amanda & Jeremy thank you so much for our stay. Lubborn House is exquisite and every one who stays here is truly blessed. We absolutely loved and cherished dearly our stay in this well loved, beautiful and elegant home. The grounds and garden were amazing - like an English countryside picture post card. Thank you for your hospitality and support.
ALIZE
Our group had the most amazing and magical time at Lubborn House. The location was absolutely stunning and with the lovely weather we made the most of the beautiful garden and fire pit in the evening. The house was absolutely immaculate and the bedrooms had the most luxurious beds- we all had some of the best sleep we’ve ever had! As for the lovely hosts Amanda and Jeremy, I couldn’t praise them more! They were so accommodating and went above and beyond to make our weekend so special. We feel like we’ve come away with some new friends. Overall, I couldn’t recommend enough. The house was everything we’d hoped it’d be, and more! Thank you so much Amanda and Jeremy!
HANNAH
Great home in lovely location. We especially loved the gardens and our children appreciated the football and badminton net with plenty of space to play. Amanda is a great host. Very professional and quick to respond, as well as being warm, welcoming and friendly. Lovely place.
MERRYN
Everything from comfiest beds ever, anything we could ever need (and some things we didn't realise we needed) through to the extensive and immaculate garden, complete with fire pit and walking trails - this is a beautiful house, we couldn't have asked for more. As a group of 12 with ages ranging from 13 to 82, the house provided all the space, activities and facilities needed to keep everyone entertained, and was the ideal place for our family celebration. Amanda was the most conscientious host, ensuring we had everything we needed for an enjoyable break. Thank you to you and Jeremy for such a wonderful time.
DAVID
We booked this wonderful place for a short family holiday. From the beginning the communication with Amanda was quick and friendly. Our wonderful hosts even received our groceries delivery and took care of it. We were welcomed to the house and immediately felt at home. The house is even better than in the pictures, perfect for a large family or a group of friends. It is very private and the surroundings are beautiful. The house is perfectly stocked, so no need to bring your own books or games if coming with children. We loved our stay with Amanda and Jeremy and would recommend it to everybody. ❤️
IVA
We booked the house for a family celebration and the setting was gorgeous and the house was perfect. Big enough for 13 of us, and big enough to let the children (5 of them) do their own thing too. The whole family loved the house and spending time there. The house looks exactly like the pictures and the garden is amazing too. The house was perfect, and Amanda’s communication and proactiveness meant we felt completely at ease, check in and check out was super easy. We would definitely go back, which is probably the best recommendation we could give.
SUZANNE
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful house! Amanda was super friendly and went above and beyond to help when needed! Comfortable beds, great showers, everything you could possibly need! Would highly recommend this house for a peaceful getaway! We would love to come back! Thanks for everything.
GEMMA
Absolutely stunning house in an absolutely stunning location! Thank you so much for having us. The house is beautiful, and had everything we needed and more. Our party ranged from 67 to 6 years old and there was something for everyone. The kids were always entertained. Amanda and Jeremy were perfect hosts, very quick to respond and were there to greet us when we arrived. Thanks again and we hope to be back some time soon x

An inviting and beautifully decorated home, hosted by a warm and welcoming couple. Spacious, with great facilities. A perfect long weekend retreat with easy access to the Somerset countryside. Highly recommend it.
ALI
Beautiful house, perfect for large groups with kids.
TOM
We booked Amanda’s beautiful home for a corporate away day and it proved to be the perfect venue. The house and gardens are just lovely, and Amanda could not have been more helpful during the course of our stay. I would highly recommend this property if you plan on a stay in Somerset.
SIMON
Amanda and Jeremy are terrific hosts and allowed us to enjoy an amazing weekend @ Lubborn. Lots of marvellous family memories were created. Many thanks.
DAVE
Lovely stay in a beautiful house with lots of character. Amanda was very helpful too.
TINA
Amanda was such a lovely host; friendly and helpful. The house was so lovely, warm and special. Family friendly and a great quiet location for family meetup. We had a blast. Went to Glastonbury, 15min drive away for the Froat festival. Such a special place and the basement pingpong table was a hit with the younger members of the group. Fab.
BRIDGET
We had the most fantastic stay at Amanda and Jeremy’s place. The house is absolutely beautiful and very cosy. Amanda gave us some great recommendations for places to eat and there is lots to do in the area. It was also great to be able to walk from the house. Would highly recommend staying here and hope to be back soon!
HOLLY
We had an amazing stay at Amanda's house. Its great for friends and family wanting to stay together but also wanting a little space to themselves. Amanda was the most accommodating host I have ever stayed with. Nothing was too much trouble and she was always on hand to answer any questions. Would definitely book again.
HANNAH
Our visit to Lubborn House was a most enjoyable weekend for all of our family. Staying in the house were three families apart from ourselves with children ranging from 3 to 14. My sister and some of her family visited us bringing a further 3 children. The children made good use of all the facilities available. Outside they enjoyed football, the hammock and toasting crumpets on the fire in the fire pit. Inside whilst the older ones were in the gym having a table tennis tournament, the younger ones were making good use of the dressing up clothes and all of the toys in the TV room.
The house was very impressive and there is a feeling you are in a National Trust manor. The surroundings were peaceful with only the sound of sheep outside. The large lounge was the adult relaxing area. We did not use the dining room but ate in the large kitchen which with the Aga and the log fire was very cosy.
Amanda was very helpful communicating well at all steps in the process. Jeremy too added support by collecting a delivery for us.
All in all a good time was had by everybody and we would highly recommend Lubborn House. We hope we can have a longer stay in the future.
Thank you Amanda and Jeremy.
JAMES & KAY
We had a great time and would definitely stay again. Lovely place with all the amenities you could hope for, great hosts who were very helpful, cooperative and friendly, and a convenient location in beautiful countryside.
REBECCA & MARK
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to stay to celebrate my 60th birthday with two families of grown up children. Amanda is a very warm and welcoming host - she had even written a birthday card and provided celebrations chocolates for when I arrived. She also gave us lots of recommendations for local places to visit where were great. The house and gardens are even more beautiful than the photographs show - fabulous interior design with comfortable mixture of traditional and modern and the garden is perfect for dining, relaxing, playing croquet or just enjoying the planting. We had everything we could have possibly wanted and would love to go back again.
NAIA
In a nutshell: A great stay in a fantastic building. Amanda (the host) was fantastic during the booking process, giving us excellent communication and also during our stay. We booked a weekend at Lubborn House and had the luxury of being the very first visitors staying at the property. We were provided with instructions with how to find the accommodation and then were greeted by Amanda personally. We had a tour around the house - which was very much needed. The stone work in the house gave us a wonderful atmosphere and with a few kids staying with us we enjoyed the large garden with its different areas and also explored the local village and town. Rooms, beds and rooms were as advertised, each with different character. We enjoyed exploring all the different rooms and use of the large kitchen. Overall fantastic host, great accommodation and would definitely recommend for large families. :)
KETHES
We stayed here for a week with three generations of family my including two dogs and very small baby! Amanda was a fabulous host. Responsive, proactive, nothing too much trouble. Delicious bread and local honey on arrival. The welcome was lovely but she also just let us get on with it and we had complete privacy. The house is great - it was perfect for our needs. Beautiful old building, lots of space. Beds were lovely and comfortable. Lovely quiet surroundings, garden beautiful. Thanks for a lovely stay. We had a great time. Thanks Amanda!
MARK
We were in the area to attend a family wedding. We come from Australia so finding a place where all the extended family could be together was really important. When I found Amanda’s listing I thought I’d hit the jackpot. It turned out to be even better than advertised. Super comfortable, beautiful furnishings, comfy beds with w we quality linen. The gardens are stunning and nothing was too much trouble for Amanda and Jeremy. Thanks so much for helping to make this last weekend even more special. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
LINDA
Amanda and Jeremy are incredible hosts! They helped us so much while we hosted a 10 woman retreat. We had rental car problems and they stepped Into help while we were in a foreign country, they picked up our chef in town for us and were easy to get ahold of if we needed assistance in the house during the stay. We plan to return again as this space is such a beautiful place to host events! Amanda was so helpful to the group! She helped us create more ease in flow with her help and suggestions! It’s helpful to know is that there is no dryer so the clothes need to hang dry and English weather can be unpredictable. The country lanes are very narrow to drive on in the surrounding areas so plan accordingly. We had 2 large Jeeps and struggled to pull to the shoulder of many lanes.
TIFFANY
Amanda is a fantastic host, she went the extra mile to ensure we had a wonderful stay. The house is beautiful and the gardens spectacular as well as very private. We were a family of 14, including 6 children and there was plenty of space for us all to have a brilliant time. Thank you.
SARAH
The house is absolutely beautiful in a very pretty location. And Amanda is an incredibly helpful and welcoming host.
CATHERINE
Such a fabulous stay!! Amanda and Jeremy were such gracious hosts and took wonderful care of us. The property is truly special and beautiful. An absolutely magical experience from start to finish. Comfortable, well appointed, grand. Everything you could hope for, in a group stay in the country. Thank you, thank you!
KATIE
Our stay at Lubbon House was just so memorable! Amanda has created such a cozy home full of everything one would need (especially for families)! She was so welcoming and helpful, and also gave us the best local recommendations. The house is just perfect for a large group or family and we all slept like babies. Garden is gorgeous and enclosed, with nearby sheep and ruins making for gorgeous views. The location is ideal for discovering Somerset and we can't wait to go back. Thank you Amanda & Jeremy!
AVERIL
We have had a wonderful stay at Amanda's beautiful cottage. The setting and the house were just perfect for a get together of all ages. The games room and badminton were thoroughly enjoyed by the children and the spaces both inside and out were perfect for relaxing. We enjoyed views from Glastonbury tor as well as a trip to Wells. Amanda was a wonderful host who was incredibly accomodating and responded very quickly to all our queries. She went above and beyond to help us settle in which was much appreciated. Thanks so much for a lovely stay to enable our family to get together in such lovely surroundings.
RACHEL
Lubborn House is an absolutely beautiful place to stay, with everything anyone could need for a large family or group get together. Amanda and Jeremy are lovely and really made us feel welcome from start to finish. We have tried a few Airbnb stays now and this has easily been our best yet. I can highly recommend and we hope to revisit in the future for sure.
NEV
Beautiful, well equipped and child friendly period property, stunning garden. Lovely friendly & responsive hosts on hand in nearby cottage. A piece of countryside heaven!
CHARLOTTE
Amanda made us most welcome and the house and gardens are beautiful. We look forward to our next stay.

Thanks for an amazing stay. The House is even more beautiful, spacious and unique in real life. Amanda was so friendly and welcoming and had lit the fires ready for our arrival. It was very family friendly with kids utensils and lots of lovely toys. Would definitely come back!

DAVID
Amazing house, had a great time! Thanks for hosting us :)
NIKOLETA
Fantastic house with lots of character and charm set in lovely grounds. We were a group of 13 and there was ample space. Amanda was very friendly and welcoming and gave us a great tour of the house and made us feel right at home. Would definitely recommend for a getaway in the countryside.
WESLEY
We had a couple of nights on our annuals girls weekend. The house was beautiful with everything we needed and more. Amanda was hugely accommodating from the start, recommending a caterer who dropped food off for one of the nights. Amanda also over saw our delivery of online shop. Flexible check out time also gave us a lie in. All The bedrooms are beautifully furnished with lovely linens. It was the perfect winter stay for a girls groups but would be equally great for families and teens.
BELLA
The whole family had a fantastic weekend in the house, Amanda was the perfect host and within arms length if needed.
JAY
Amanda and Jeremy were wonderful hosts- very friendly, polite and helpful. The house was immaculate and fully stocked, perfect for our large party. Amanda was very helpful with tips about the local area and was on call for any issues we had (but we had none!). Highlights included the luxurious bath in one of the ensuites, the table tennis table and home gym, the cosy wood fires, and of course cooking breakfast on the impressive Aga. This is a perfect stay for a large group with plenty of space for everyone, so much so that we often lost each other! We visited Glastonbury which was worth the visit and views from the Tor were fabulous. I would definitely recommend staying here and would happily come back again in the future. Thank you Amanda and Jeremy.
CHRIS
Thank you so much for another stay in your gorgeous home. We played in the garden, did an Easter egg hunt and saw the baby lambs. (And thanks for towing the car!)
JESSICA, LEANNE, CHARLOTTE & AMANDA
Thank you Amanda - we had the best weekend at Lubborn House. Everyone in our group of fourteen was really happy with the property with enough space for us all and very comfortable beds. The check-in and Check out was so easy and flexible and Amanda kindly unpacked all of our shopping for us before we even arrived! The location is stunning and the gardens were perfect to lounge all day in. We also had Jane Hodson come and cook for us one evening who we would also recommend! 10/10 stay x
NINA
Lubborn House feels like a hug, the photos don’t do it justice, and you’ll want Amanda and Jeremy to be your new BFFs immediately. Such a beautiful spot and so well done we can’t wait to return. Thank you.
JULIE
Amanda’s house isn’t just a place; it’s an experience. Her warmth, grace, and genuine care transcend mere duty. Amanda, our extraordinary host, guided us with whispered secrets about local gems. She orchestrated a memorable celebration, ensuring everyone’s glass was filled with joy. Ollie’s culinary artistry, recommended by Amanda, left us speechless. His seafood platter—oysters, prawns, grilled fish, and that succulent steak—was poetry on a plate. But Amanda’s touch was everywhere. Lunch and dinner on Saturday, as well as lunch on Sunday—each dish a symphony of flavors—left us craving more. And Ollie’s seamless ability to cater to dietary needs? Remarkable. If you seek enchantment, if you long for a host who becomes family, Amanda’s house is your haven. We wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Amanda, thank you—for the house, the memories, and for being the best part of our stay.
