This beautiful lodge is a haven of luxury right on the edge of the Quantock Hills National Landscape.
Bashford Lodge has a full width balcony to celebrate the most amazing views - you can see for miles!
The sunset light washes into the spacious open plan living-area.
Breakfast on the balcony is a must. An evening glass of wine watching the sun set is amazing too.
Staple Plain, at West Quantoxhead, is the most fabulous place to park up the car and set off on foot or on a bike.
What a setting for your evening drinks after a day out exploring.
The owners will provide catering for that extra holiday treat if you wish. So not only can you eat in style, but you don't even have to do the cooking!
This is the very sheltered enclosed sitting out area beneath the balcony.
There is a super-contemporary kitchen fitted around this corner of the living space.
This is the ground floor entrance hallway - the thoughtful touch of slippers is a sign of the attention to detail here.
This property is bathed in sunshine in the summer.
Bedroom 1. Each bedroom is presented to the highest standard, all with beautiful bed linens.
Bedroom 2, another double - you are spoilt for choice here.
Bedroom 3. All the bedrooms have super-king sized 6ft beds that can be made up as 3ft twins on request.
There is excellent water pressure here so that you can really enjoy a powerful shower.
The third wet-room is on the ground floor.
The three wet-rooms are beautifully designed and very stylish. Two are on the first floor along with the bedrooms.
This is the drying/laundry-room - with a separate outside entrance from the patio. Ideal for wet clothes and boots after a long walk in the Quantocks or of course, a wonderful horseback adventure.
Dunster Castle towers above this unique medieval town, a stone's throw from the coast.
You can see right across the Bristol Channel to south Wales from the top of the Quantock Hills.
High up on the Quantocks above Bashford Lodge.
The Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, shaded woodland, deep valleys, and wide open moorland with panoramic views.
You will see wild deer in their natural habitat - the hills in the background are the setting for Bashford Lodge.

A convenient and comfortable lodge with great views and an excellent hostess! Highly recommended.
Mrs Maher June 2022
Bashford Lodge is situated in a beautiful, tranquil location. The view from the balcony was stunning. We weren’t blessed with sunny days during our June stay but we still enjoyed days out sightseeing and walking. The lodge was well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable, relaxing break. Would definitely recommend the property and the area....

The property is in a beautifully elevated position with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. The large balcony is a fantastic place to sit out and enjoy the peace and quiet. On arrival we found the property spotlessly clean and were delighted with the superb cake the owner had left for us. There are walks directly from the property and a super pub a 5 minute walk away. The lodge was warm and comfortable and the showers were fantastic and powerful. Some of the soft furnishings, cutlery and mugs need updating but this didn't really detract from our stay. As a previous reviewer has mentioned, due to the open plan nature of the kitchen/dining/sitting areas I think it would feel overcrowded if 6 adults were staying. ...

We're delighted to see that you enjoyed your stay in Somerset - we'd agree, the views and setting of Bashford Lodge are pretty amazing! Thank you so much for your suggestions, we've shared these with the owner. The property is very popular with family groups, as well as couples such as yourselves, and the feedback from the larger groups is that the open plan layout offers a very sociable and workable space to enjoy. We are really grateful for your comments and do have a range of properties with a variety of styles should you prefer a separate kitchen and dining-room. Tanya, Customer Support...

This property is ideal for 2, 3 or 4 people. However, it can sleep 6 adults and we felt that the 'sitting room' (which incorporates the kitchen/dining area) could perhaps become a little crowded especially if there was a wide age range in residence. Apart from the bedrooms there is no other indoor space. ...

Bashford Lodge was one of the best self-catering properties we have stayed in (over 30 years' experience). It was very comfortable, the beds were perfect, and everything was provided for, especially the stupendous cake! (That didn't last long...) Jill was such a welcoming owner and we very much enjoyed chatting to her. The setting is so peaceful, the air is soft and refreshing, and the view is outstanding - as other guests have found, it is very difficult to stop sitting and looking at the rolling hills and the ever-changing clouds, light and shade. The horses added to the overall 'balm for the soul'. Although we are only an hour away - East Devon and South Somerset - West Somerset is a world away . The Rising Sun is well worth a visit and is in staggering distance! ...
