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.

BEWARE! House is only accessible via a busy riding school where horses are being moved up and down to the field alongside the house.

We are so sorry to read that this property wasn't quite what you were looking for. We do try to be as accurate as possible in our descriptions and do show the property with the horses in the field behind, as well as mentioning the neighbouring stables but can only apologise if this didn't work for you. We so hope to welcome you to a different Classic Cottage in the future. Sarah, Customer Support ...

This is one of the best properties we have stayed in. Wonderful welcome from the owner who made sure we felt Covid safe! Totally surpassed our expectations and will definitely return.

Great location for walking from the front door, quiet lanes and wonderful views and great bases to use the car to go further afield. The lodge is a perfect retreat.

Gill welcomed us personally to Bashford Lodge and was a very friendly guide to the property and also helped us to find a riding school for our girls to try out horses appropriate to their age an skill level. The views of the valley from the lodge are stunning and it was amazing to see the horses from Quantock Trekking stables come down from the hills every day for breakfast, without much help form the staff. It was the highlight with the kids each morning! We also loved the boot and coat drying room and the boot washing facilities provided, they are unique, in our experience, and were really helpful in geting all our walking kit ready at the end of each day. This was particularly helpful given the awful weather we encountered, during our stay. At the end of the week, we all felt relaxed and happy, which in these times is precious gift. The Lodge as an excellent place to stay and we would recomment it to anyone wanting to stay in the North Somerset area....
