Woodpecker Lodge in seasonal snow
An atmospheric lantern lighting procession illuminates the streets one by one bringing the village, its enchanting celebrations and seasonal shops to life in a charming Christmas tradition.
Blue Chip Vacations has two properties, Woodpecker Lodge and House Martins that are only a short distance from Bishops Lydeard station, where a non-stop steam train service will run to Dunster on the evening of 04 December (tickets still available). This stunning and nostalgic steam train journey runs through the Quantoc Hills up to the edge of Exmoor, and is highly recommended during the festival as Dunster becomes a car-free zone; Park and Ride facilities are available from nearby Minehead.
House Martins (sleeps 8), Kingston St Mary, near Taunton, Somerset.
Woodpecker Lodge (sleeps 4) Kingston St Mary.
Visitors staying four nights or more in December will be treated decorations, a Christmas tree, a seasonal hamper, and a free trip on the highly popular West Somerset Railway Santa Express, which runs each weekend throughout December.
House Martins is available for four nights over the festival from £48 per person (384* total), or for a seven night stay from £491 (£61 per person).
Woodpecker Lodge is available for a three night stay from 2-5 December for £349* (£87 per person).
