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.

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.

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.
