16 Badgers Retreat Reviews

Lovely relaxing place, host was helpful and accommodation was perfect. Thank you

Jennifer
Beautiful holiday park and lodge away from the hustle and bustle of towns but not too far away for you to venture into. When we arrived the lodge it was spotlessly clean and warm. It had everything you needed apart from no teacoffee but that was soon rectified by a nip to the shop. The welcome book states the thermostat is in the hallway but I think the owners must have updated the boiler as I noticed a hive thermostat next to the sofa. We were unable to change the temperature of the lodge as it was pin protected. It was lovely and snug at night but by morning it was a little chilly nothing a cup of tea couldnt sort. The hot tub at the back of the lodge was an added bonus after walking and exploring all day.
If you want peace and quiet and a place to chill, then Badgers Retreat is the place to go. The lodge was very clean, well equipped and very roomy. Kept to a high standard.The owner Gary lived next door, was always happy to help with any problems. It has to be one of the best places we have stayed. Will be returning sometime in the future

Thos is the second time we have stayed at badgers retreat. Number 6 and now number 16. This was our worst stay. The owner was really friendly and helpful, truly good natured. A number of cleanliness issues with the oven, microwave and crockery let it down. A number or flies were in and around the property which also let it down. Think this maybe due to some stagnant or dirty water issues around the outside of the property. The badgers retreat staff very unfriendly. Not even a good morning until prompted. Really poor impression given off by the site staff which let's the site down.
We absolutely loved our stay at 16. The lodge itself was so comfortable and clean. The park was great too it was so relaxing and peaceful! Would highly recommend to anyone and will definitely return! Thank you!
Andrew
Well equipped good fixtures & fittings, good location which is tranquil and relaxing. Good rapport with owner Garry next door at no.17 very obliging and friendly,we would highly recommend this holiday chalet.Regards Mr & Mrs McFarlane Glasgow.
Great Host, very welcoming and catered for your every need. Highly recommend
We both had a lovely, relaxing stay. Thanks very much!
A very quiet site which made it a very relaxing holiday. The lodge you wanted for nothing. The owner was very helpful and knowledgeable of the area even recommended a good fish and chip shop which we tried. A good holiday and we will definitely be back.
Gwyneth
Very well equipped lodge. Resort very quiet but thats how we like it. A bit out of the way and you have to travel quite a distance to go to places so definitely need a car. I would highly recommend this property
Elizabeth
Had a week at Badgers Retreat with my lab, great place to stay, everything was perfect. The owner Gary is lovely, leaves you to yourself, but is also really helpful if you need anything. The location is also great, with dog fields right outside the back gates, as well as lots of walksriversetc for the dogs nearby. Definitely be back!!
The accommodation was really comfortable, spotlessly clean, fully equipped and located on a very quiet and well maintained site of about 50 similar holiday homes. The owner, Gary, was very helpful and friendly. The hot tub was very welcome as we enjoyed the really warm weather. Just a shame we had to go home. Would not hesitate to return. Can thoroughly recommend.
Beautiful place to stay. Very peaceful and pretty. Lots of bird life to while away the time. Very nice accomodation with lots of crockery so only had to run the dishwasher a couple of times over the week.
Carolyn
We spoke to the owner and told him we were very satisfied with the property and the comfort
A really nice place to stay, we loved it. The hot tub was probably the best part although it could really have done with a gazebo over it for the rain.
Patricia
This is an exceptionally comfortable property. Furnishings are high quality. Spotlessly clean throughout. Kitchen equipped more than most. Great shower. Hot tub was excellent. The site is very quiet and immaculate. Perfect place to relax and unwind.
Excellent lodge cleanliness superb everything that we needed was there
Kimberley
We had a lovely holiday, the lodge was great and in a great location near shops and amenities
Nothing negative at all to say about this place it was absolutely fantastic . . the hot tub was amazing which was an added bonus. Everything we needed was there from coffee machine to bath robes we cannot recommend this place enough.
Amazing lodge, hot tub and scenery. Great if you want a break away to see local places or if you want a break away to just stay in the lodge. Its so peaceful and didnt hear a single person other than the owner when we said goodbye.
Heather
The lodge offered an oasis of peace and tranquillity with high levels of comfort in a stunning location. All of the facilities offered were of a high standard. The hot tub offered another level of relaxation. I cannot recommend enough and will be returning in the future
Lovely lodge! Really nice and comfortable. Was a nice change to have a comfy sofa in one of these lodges, as ones we have stayed in before have had cheap and nasty 2 seaters with nothing in them. The 55 tv with Netflix is a nice touch for relaxing evenings in.

We stayed 2 nights. Its a really lovely cabin. We got in easy with no messing. Couldnt fault anything. We had took clothes and toilet roll but all this was provided. We would definitely return to this cabin.
We spent a week at this lodge. It was very relaxing with all facilities needed including comfortable bed, hot tub and Netflix and Prime. Gary was very helpful. Maybe a canopy over hot tub would help when it rains. Would recommend if you want a quiet holiday. We would certainly go back.

Big Sheep - EX39 5AP
about 6 Miles
This is a recommended day out for families with young children visiting the Bedale area of Yorkshire.  Visit the farm and receive a warm welcome as well as a guided tour.  You will have the chance to bottle feed the lambs, bath a pig and handle some of the smaller animals.  Kids will love the big sandpit and the outdoor play area. There is also a cafe and indoor play area for when the weather is not on your side.
Lightwater Valley - HG4 3HT
about 12 Miles
Situated in the Ripon area of North Yorkshire this popular theme park makes a fantastic day out for the whole family.  The more daring will love the big and thrilling rides such as Raptor Attack, The Ultimate and Trauma Tower.  For the little ones there are some excellent attractions such as Flying Camels, Dodgems and a Magic Wheel.  Toddlers will like the Dragon Boats and the Lightwater Express amongst other things. There are over 40 rides and attractions in total and we think this is excellent value for money too.  If you book your tickets in advance online you can save even more money and beat the queues.
Fountains Abbey - HG4 3DY
about 17 Miles
This is an outstanding world heritage site located close to Ripon in the North Yorkshire area. Nature lovers will be in their element with an abundance of wide open spaces to explore and there are special guided tours for families.  Some of the highlights may include seeing wild deer and bats during your visit.  The grounds are fantastic to wander round but there is also an Elizabethan Mansion, Victorian Church, Georgian Water Garden and the finest example of Cistercian Abbey ruins in the country - Well worth a visit!
