We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful area of the country 🌼. Whether you are mountain biking in Great Wood or horse riding or walking this is the most beautiful, unspoilt area .
This fabulous Somerset property set in the Quantock Hills, with a panoramic view as far as Exmoor, will take your breath away. Superb quality throughout includes three luxurious double bedrooms with super-king beds that can also be made up as twins, three spacious sparkling wet-rooms and a really large open plan living area with the most stunning full-width balcony; below this a sheltered south-facing patio wraps around two sides of the lodge. There is direct access through our fields to the Aisholt Common, the highest point on the Quantock Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

There is an electric fan oven/ grill, a ceramic hob and a large built in microwave/ grill dishwasher, freezer, fridge and a 12 bottle drinks fridge. Tea towels are provided.

A full basket of logs are provided for your use. There is also a smart LED television and Bose Wireless Soundlink mini speaker. There is dimmable LED mini spot lights and coloured lights which create a very relaxed atmosphere.
Bi-fold doors open onto the large south facing veranda area with truly stunning panoramic views, enjoying a glass of wine whilst watching the sun set over Exmoor in the distance.

Outstanding Lodge
Bashford Lodge is a truly fantastic property! The lodge is beautiful throughout - kept to a very high standard with excellent spacious accommodation. The absolute star attraction are the stunning views from the lounge and balcony. The lodge is well positioned as a great base to explore the Quantocks and wider Somerset area. We couldn’t recommend it enough - and thanks again to Gll who was a brilliant host throughout. We cannot wait to return. Thanks again, Gavin & family.

Beautifully appointed accommodation in a stunning location, ideal base for cycling or walking break. We loved the showers, the wood burning stove and the balcony. Everything was so clean and in good condition. Hosts, Gill and Dave, were exceptional.

Wonderful cottage
We thought that everything was perfect about our stay. The house was the perfect size for our family, was finished to a high standard and included all of the amenities we needed. Our host was friendly and had great advice about the local area. The great location meant that we were within east reach of the Somerset attractions whilst enjoying a stay in a cute country village.

Beautiful Lodge
We spent 4 nights at Bashford Lodge and had a wonderful break. The lodge is beautiful - 3 well sized bedrooms, all with huge double beds (all 3 can be split into twins if needed). There were 3 bathrooms that were spotlessly clean, as was the entire lodge. The kitchen had everything you needed including a wine fridge. The lounge area had bifold doors which opened up to a balcony which had the most amazing views! In was also in a great location. We visited Taunton, Street (fabulous shopping outlet called Clarks Village), Glastonbury Tor, Ifracombe and Exmouth. And many thanks to Gill who was great and made the whole process seamless.

great house and location
The house is very comfortable, clean and well equipped. The location is great for exploring the Quantock hills and local attractions. It also has the added bonus of having the Rising Sun Pub (great food) just around the corner. Gill is a very welcoming host, I would love to stay at the property again.
