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.
The open plan kitchen creates a good social hub. The dove grey kitchen is furnished with all modern appliances complimented by granite worktops. There is an electric extractor fan and hood. 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.
In the large lounge area there is a Moroccan feel with beautiful goatskin lamps, wool throws, cushions, rugs, two large comfy leather sofas, a bean bag and a wood burner. 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.
There are three wetrooms, with heated floors and heated towel rails All wet room floors have non slip tiles. Fluffy towels and bath mats are provided.
There are three bedroom which can be doubles or twin rooms with luxuriously comfy zip and link super king beds. Egyptian cotton linen is provided. Hair dryers are provided.
There is a purpose built drying room for wet clothes and footwear. This room has a washing machine, tumble drier, dehumidifier and a sink. There are plenty of hooks and drying racks. This has proved to be very popular with guests as warm dry clothing and footwear makes for a really good start to the day activities!
The Lodge is heated by electric oil filled radiators will be set before you arrive.The Lodge is highly insulated and takes very little heating.
The Lodge has ample parking. There is a patio area and a secure area for storing mountain bikes.
As soon as you step out of the front door of the Lodge you are in the heart of the Quantock hills and the majority of it there is' Right to Roam'. Dead Woman's Ditch, Aisholt Common, Seven Sisters and Slaughter House Combe are just some of the places worth visiting whether you are walking, riding or mountain biking. We offer midweek/ weekend breaks in the Autumn and Spring. Please call us for more information and to check prices. For reviews check out Simply Owners at https://www.simplyowners.net/p/37089/

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.

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.

Idillic property in an outstanding area
This is an outstanding property that truly caters for the discerning guest. Gill and Dave have taken great care in ensuring they provide everything for their guests and make everyone feel welcome. If you enjoy riding everything is on the doorstep, for those who don't, the walking and local attractions will keep you truly entertained.

Fabulous New Year
Wonderful location with fantastic views. Outstanding accommodation - very comfortable, cosy, superbly equipped and finished to a very high standard. The welcome was extremely warm and what a welcome pack - everything you could wish for and more.
We are not horse riders, but this accommodation is for everyone. We highly recommend this Bashford Lodge and hope to return soon.

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.

Absolutely the best everything!
Absolutely the best everything. Gill and Dave Nurcombe are fantastic hosts. They give you an amazing welcome when you arrive. The lodge is beautifully appointed , more like a top range show house, with a view to die for. The best break we've had in all the years we've taken holidays. A great big THANK YOU. I'd recommend Bashford Lodge to anyone, whether they want to go for a ride with their fantastic horse trekking business, or just have a wonderful restful time.
