The Experience

There’s a warm, happy feeling to this 17th-century farmhouse in the Quantock Hills, where a pretty garden rambles up the hill and country walks lead from the house.

The Ritchies love doing B&B and will greet you with afternoon tea and cake by the inglenook fireplace in the comfy guest sitting room. They’re always happy to go the extra mile with packed lunches for days out or early breakfasts. Head to a number of decent country pubs for supper – the owners can advise.

Ask your hosts about local walks – the Macmillan Way runs by – or you can cycle; drive to Exmoor in half an hour. Steam rail enthusiasts will love that the West Somerset Railway is a ten-minute drive, or you can simply stay put and relax.

Reviews

Deb Apr 2014

The warm welcome you receive at Bashfords is second to none. Jane and Charlie made us feel very welcome, with a pot of tea and shortbread on arrival. The evening meal was delicious and abundant! The attention to detail at this b & b is exceptional and would recommend to anyone who wants a 'get away from it all' experience. The B & B is nestled right in the centre of an area of outstanding natural beauty and the walking is fabulous right from the doorstep. In a nutshell, perfect everything!

Ann

Fantastic B&B! Made to feel welcome from the get go, lovely comfortable & homely rooms full of character, and a fantastic breakfast to complete the stay. Wish I could have stayed longer!

Location

The neighbourhood

The house is in the small village of West Bagborough. Walks into the Quantock Hills, Britain's first AONB, start from the house - discover oak woodlands, open heath and rugged coastline in this 12-mile by four-mile ridge between Taunton, Bridgwater and Minehead. You can also cycle along fairly quiet roads. There are plenty of decent country pubs around or drive into Taunton, 20 minutes away, for a wider choice of restaurants.

Local points of interest from Charles & Jane Ritchie

Stunning walks on the Quantock Hills are only a few steps away
10 minutes from the West Somerset Steam Railway - enjoy a trip back in time through fabulous countryside
The wilds of Exmoor are a short drive away
National Trust properties and historic houses within easy reach. Dunster Castle and Hestercombe Gardens are both a 25 minute drive, with Barrington Court, Lytes Cary and Montacute House about 45 minutes away.
A good range of pubs and restaurants in the area. The Rising Sun in West Bagborough is 1 minute away with The Farmers Arms, (Combe Florey), The Blue Ball (Triscombe), The Carew Arms (Crowcombe) and The New Inn (Halse) all within a 10-20 minute drive.

Introducing

Charles & Jane Ritchie

Charlie and Jane Ritchie moved to West Bagborough from London in 1992 and spent the first year renovating the farmhouse into the lovely place it is today. Ever since then, they've been merrily looking after their guests. They love cooking, expect delicious breakfasts with homemade bread.
