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.

Our stay at Bashford Lodge was perfect inspite of mixed weather it was the loveliest place to be. The Lodge was beautifully designed and the views and countryside spectacular. It was a pleasure to enjoy the horses... deer ... hares and pheasants in the fields behind the property. Would love to return....

Wow - what a super property. We had a wonderful reception from Gill who was so helpful. Warm, comfortable, very well equipped , great location for walking and sightseeing around the area and not least so close to The Rising Sun . Can’t recommend Bashford Lodge too highly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay....

The Lodge is delightful and excellently positioned for good walks. It was a pleasure to return after a day's walking over the hills to a cup of tea on the balcony with the magnificent view.

We had a great Christmas week at Bashford Lodge. The owner Gill met us on arrival, showed us round and was very helpful with local recommendations. Gill had also baked a tasty sponge cake and put milk in the fridge, much appreciated. The property was spotlessly clean, bed very comfortable, bathroom spacious with great shower, and kitchen/sitting/dining area roomy and well-equipped. It had been decorated for Christmas, which along with the log burner made it extra cosy. The view from the balcony is quite special. Though close to the owners’ house, the Lodge is private and peaceful. The location is excellent and we were able to visit Taunton, explore the Quantocks, go to Dunster and Dulverton on Exmoor, and visit the coast at Watchet, all without having to drive very far. We would highly recommend Bashford Lodge for a visit at any time of year. ...

A very comfortable place to stay in. The accommodation is bright spacious and modern with beautiful views from the balcony. Jill made us very welcome. The village doesn't have a shop but there is a pub. The nearest shop is a 10 min drive. Easy access to Taunton and Minehead. Would definitely recommend....
