Leave ReviewDelightful spot with great views.

Absolutely Fantastic Stay and Covid Safe !
By MR D &MRS J JONES on 10-Oct-2020This 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. We had a wonderful welcome from Jill. The property was absolutely wonderful and we felt entirely safe from Covid. Everything was completely clean and there was plenty of sanitizer, gloves etc. The house was warm so because of slightly wet weather we hunkered down and read and relaxed. All in all an absolutely fantastic stay. We will try and book again for next year as would love to enjoy the outside space. Thank you to Jill for making it so safe. Jane and David Jones (stay 30/9 to 6/10).
Perfect retreat,
By Dr Phillip Green on 23-Aug-2020Great 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. Brilliant host. Perfect location.
Covid Clean and perfect weather!
By Mrs LV Lucking on 18-Aug-2020I was confident that the owner had thoroughly cleaned the property since the previous guests. They had provided handwash, hand sanitiser, disposable gloves and paper towels to help prevent the spread of covid19. .There was a great view from the balcony. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The weather! The heatwave was just too much for me.
Spotlessly Clean
By Mrs Laura Moss on 18-Jul-2020We enjoyed our stay at Bashford Lodge. It was very welcoming and cosy. It was spotlessly clean with ample supplies of hand wash and hand gel and felt very Covid safe. The view is stunning and we loved sitting out on the balcony. Our hosts were very welcoming and friendly.
A great place to stay and relax
By Mrs Smith on 15-Feb-2019A really great place to stay and relax. Perfect for access to the beautiful Quantocks, and within easy reach of so many wonderful places in Somerset. But also just as ideal to relax in the well-equipped lodge, enjoying the fabulous views and the comfort of the cottage. Perfect for serious foodie self-catering as well as within easy reach of good gastro pubs. Set up for comfort and a little bit of luxury as well as the practicalities of an active stay in the beautiful, if sometimes wet and muddy, Somerset area - certainly a place to return to ... many times.
