My stay at The Barn @ Foxholes Farm

We were delighted with the property which was in superb condition. We were greeted by our host Gemma and found a small welcome package awaiting us. We enjoyed the tranquil surroundings with a superb view from the cottage. The slight drawback was the private lane to get to the property which was very rough and uneven and if used many times would take toll on suspension. But overall we enjoyed a lovely short break.

The Lodge is fantastic. Very beautiful design, fantastic use of space and very well laid out. It's slightly apart from the rest of the farm, giving it a secluded feel and privacy.The farm itself is lovely and perfect for young children, but would equally be a lovely stay for couples or groups.The owners were incredibly welcoming and very, very hospitable. I don't usually bother writing reviews, but we enjoyed our stay here so much - 10/10 would recommend

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.

Relaxing nature stay

The cabin genuinely feels like it’s in the middle of the forest. It’s a really calm area, and plenty of walking routes. No need to even use the car to go to the shop since you can just go through the field! The owners were lovely and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend
