Plenty of walks, loads of privacy and quietness. These cottages are very well looked after by Steven and his wife, we'll definitely come back!

The cabins are beautifully fitted out with everything you need including a privately positioned wood fired hot tub. Love sitting out on the porch in the evening just listening to the wildlife and nearby river. To top it all, the hosts Steven & Mary are simply the best, really make you feel welcome and at home and could not be more friendly or helpful. We love coming to Badgers Sett and would not think of going anywhere else for a break.
