The Badger At Badger Brook Reviews

Charlie

Absolutely stunning location. Cottage was like a fairytale, hand crafted dream house! Hot tub was the icing on the cake. Scenery was flawless. Couldnt have asked for better hosts. Courteous and helpful right until the very end. Would highly recommend to others and will definitely be returning!

Paul

Perfect place for a relaxing break. Hosts Jim and Carey were very helpful and friendly but not intrusive. Very spacious accommodation with homely touches everywhere you look. Hot tub was well maintained and was amazing! Make sure you try their freshly laid eggs they are delicious! Already looking forward to when we can book again.

Sarah

Wonderful owners, provided information on walking routes in the local area, and arrived to a little welcome pack that included treats for our dog (what a lovely touch). Very clean, and everything you could possibly need is provided. I packed things that were not needed, from dishwasher tablets, toilet roll to cutlery tongs and all of it was already covered. They even provide robes & extra towels for the hot tub. Kids loved watching the farm animals come out in the morning. Highly recommend.

Sean

Amazing place and very helpful hosts! Thank you will come again

The accommodation was well equipped, spotlessly clean and finished to a very high standard. The owners were on hand when required, friendly and knowledgeable of the local area.

We really enjoyed our week in this accommodation. The lodge was beautifully furnished with all modern fixtures. It was also very clean and we appreciated the welcome gifts. The kids loved the hot tub and the farm animals were a hit too. It was a great base to explore the local area.

Antoni-Jan

This is the first time weve ever used Holiday Cottages - we found Badger Brook after searching lots of other properties before finding this gem. We visited as our first family holiday with our pooch and were not disappointed. This was a home away from home, really chilled and relaxing and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. Our dog loved it even more than us and we cant wait to book to come back here again. The extra little touches (milk,tea/coffee, dog treats etc) topped it off. Thank You!

Daisy

Thank you so much, we all had a brilliant stay and enjoyed ourselves. The accommodation was in a lovely location, very clean and comfortable, with extras such as milk and fresh eggs. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Perfect for a small girls weekend away- relaxing and fun. Would love to come back and will recommend to friends/family!

Karen

Absolutely amazing. Cant wait to return. Thank you

Mathieu

Our holiday was great. The location is perfect and Jim and Carey are lovely. Our dog loved it too :) Also, as we had to work from there a couple of days, it was very handy that the internet worked perfectly. Highly recommend everyone to go!

Shauna

Wonderful welcome and stay. Hot tub was awesome

Nabeel

We had an amazing stay at the Badger Brook Lodge and we loved everything about it. There is everything you could possibly need for a few days stay, maybe add a fan. The place was spotless, comfortable beds and a nice shower. The kitchen is very well equipped. The hot tub was brilliant, and had daily care from the owners who visited us on the first night and showed us how to work it. Its quiet and has great walks where a map is left for you to explore. Will definitely be back again!! Thank you!!

Rhiannon

Lovely accommodation, well equipped and in a beautiful location!

Steven

Stunning property within a a quiet rural location yet only 10 minutes from the local town. All facilities were excellent, the lodge was superb and made for a lovely Christmas break.

Chris

Very welcoming owners,instantly made you feel at home with lots of recommendations of places to go. Spotlessly clean lodge. Fully equipt with everything you need. Lovely location, amzing views, kids loved the animals and meeting the ponies. Really thoughtful gifts,nice little added extras. Amazing hot tub. The only thing we could pick up on was the beds, a little on the creaky side when both in it, so hard to get a good night's sleep when the other one moves and vice versa. Kids beds were fine.

Karis

Absolutely beautiful accommodation, Absolutely immaculate, beautiful location, friendly owners. We had an amazing time couldn't believe how big the cabins are and snug. Lovely little touches from owners also as they left us a box of chocs to share, puzzle books. Certainly recommend here and will certainly be returning... thanks for having us guys.

Laura

Fabulous accommodation, exceeded expectations. Lovely and clean, well equipped, hot tub was perfect! A relaxing break in lovely accommodation in beautiful surroundings. Thank you

Jason

Absolutely stunning log cabin! Great hot tub! Lovely location nice and remote but not to far to travel to do things! Will definitely be back and recommend to our friends
