We had a thoroughly lovely and relaxing stay at Bashford Lodge. Gill, the host, was very welcoming and showed us around the accommodation which was very comfortable. We also particularly enjoyed being able to sit out on the balcony after a day’s activities and take in the wonderful view of the valley below.

We had a wonderful stay in West Bagborough. The property was very well appointed and spotlessly clean. The beds were comfortable and the view from the balcony exceptional. The kitchen is well equipped but the pub is only a short walk away where the food was very good. Thank you Gill for a lovely time and for your kind hospitality.

I chose Bashford Lodge because of its proximity to Crowcombe Court as my family was attending a wedding there. The property is lovely and Gill was a wonderful host. The views from the living room were gorgeous. Bashford Lodge easily accommodated the six of us (my husband, two adult daughters and their husbands, and myself). We would definitely choose to stay here again.

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.

What a wonderful find! Gill was friendly, professional and gave us some fantastic tips for walks and cycling. The property is so well located for walking cycling running and the Rising Sun was a gem of a pub too. Comfortable, superb views, well equipped and with a lovely feel that made this a home from home. We will certainly return again.

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.

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.

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.

A TRULY WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE FROM START TO END.

OUR 2ND STAY AT BASHFORD LODGE THIS YEAR AND THIS TIME WAS EVEN BETTER. FROM THE FANTASTIC WELCOME YOU GET FROM EVERYONE THERE ( ESPECIALLY THE BIRTHDAY CAKE FROM GILL ) TO THE EXCELLENT HORSES AND MUCH MUCH MORE, IT IS VERY HARD TO HAVE TO LEAVE. THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL IN EVERY THING THEY DO IS 1ST CLASS. GILL ( OR SUPER WOMEN AS WE CALL HER ) AND DAVE MAKE SURE THEY LOOK AFTER YOU IN EVERY WAY. FANTASTIC LOCATION AS WELL WITH SO MUCH TO SEE AND DO. WE WERE A 3 GENERATION FAMILY GROUP 12 - 70 AND WE RUN OUT OF TIME TO DO IT ALL. WE WILL RETURN. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
