Badgers Sett Reviews

Rachel
What a lovely find, the accomodation has everything you need with a fully fitted kitchen including things like salt and pepper, washing up liquid, dish washer tablets and even cling film, tin foil and parchment paper! The games roomdining room was a winner with all the family as were the many board games which we enjoyed playing next to the log burner
Claire
Beautiful location. easy walk to village and coast . cottage is so clean and beautifully decorated. pool table fantastic as is the log burner . only small negatives are no laundry facilities and initial supply of logs for fire not more. hot tub not available and prob wouldnt have used it due to faff of burning a lot of logs and stirring the water with paddle etc .for max use of 15 mins each time..overall , really really beautiful place .ideally situated to facilities. would use cottage again. had a lovely holiday. especially the pool table and games selections.!
Nadine
Would recommend and return to this property! Really modern and cozy with lots of attention to detail they have really thought about storage and lighting in this well designed chalet. Really spacious with a games room which we loved. The hosts were so friendly and helpful too, always on hand if you needed them and very quick to help with any issues. Great location too, just a 20 min walk to the beautiful Tintagel Castle, plus some nice pubs, shops and tea rooms too.
Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The games, especially pool and tabletennis, were much appreciated. Very wellequipped kitchen. Helpful and pleasant owners. Good for visiting lots of places, including Tintagel and St Nectan's Glen both easy walking distance, Port Isaac, the Cornwall at War museum and Trerice. Can also recommend the Screech Owl Sanctuary. My caveats would be that we gave up on the hot tub just couldn't get the fire to take. This was disappointing, because the tub was one of the main reasons we booked Badger's Sett. Also, the shower has very low pressure. I had to wash my hair in the kitchen sink, which was a right old palaver and isn't ideal. It's something to be aware of if, like me, you have long or thick hair! Lastly, and I think this was just unlucky, temperatures dropped while we were staying and I did feel cold some of the time, especially in the mornings. We were wary of trying to adjust the room thermostats because although the owners said it was OK, the notes ask guests not to..
Gordon
We enjoyed our stay at Badgers Set the property is very clean and well equipped it felt like home from home and the owners could not be more helpful and friendly we could not fault anything about it and would love to go back .
Lorraine
This property so fully equipped, its a delight, there is even a fairy cake tray for baking! All the rooms are generous in size. I did miss that there isn't a washing machine which could be an issue if you have young ones, although there is a launderette in Tintagel! We loved the games that were provided and left one of our own to add to the collection. The wood burning hot tub was a bit of work and we only used it once almost unsuccessful. The wood burning stove was lovely when we got that going most nights. The place was very central for site seeing the area.
Robert
Badgers Sett provides excellent, quality holiday accommodation, not short on facilities for a comfortable stay, independent of the weather. Plenty of games and billiard table a bonus during inclement weather. Large variety of kitchen utensils, all new or nearly new. Easy walk into Tintagel, and near to coastal walks take walking boots!. Stayed for two weeks that passed very quickly. Owners Simon and Sarah live nearby and proved very helpful and knowledgeable.
Hayley
Such an amazing holiday home! Clean, well equipped, cosy and beautifully decorated. A perfect base to explore. We hope to be back again soon
Fantastic place to stay! Sarah and Simon were very helpful with places to eat or to go visit somewhere,Seaview farm for breakfast is a must with stunning views across the sea. Accommodation was lovely and comfy ,didn't use the hot tub but pool and table tennis was well used in the evenings! Will definitely be back!
We had a lovely stay at Badgers Sett. Excellent facilities, lovely comfy bed and a fantastic shower. The owners were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.
Kathryn
Property was clean and well maintained. The owners have thought carefully about what is needed to ensure a great holiday is enjoyed. Property is in a super location which meant we didnt need to drive into the town for food and drinks! Owners were welcoming and nearby to offer advice on where was worth a visit.
Anthony
Badgers sett is beautiful, clean and spacious with a calm luxury feel. We were made extremely welcome by the owners and our daughter was smitten with their beautiful dogs. The chaletbungalow is very well equipped with a brilliant kitchen, dishwasher and even an air fryer. The log fired tub was a lovely experience and if you have children the ping pong and pool table which doubles up as the dining table is fab. Lots of games also supplied in case you get a bad Weather day. The lounge is extremely cosy with log burner if you get cold. Logs can be sourced easily within walking distance of the property as the town is a short walk away with lots of great little shops to buy gemstones and pasties. Its a great location to explore that part of Devon.
Immaculately presented property, spacious & well equipped. convenient location for Tintagel & for exploring the local area. Very welcoming, helpful & friendly owners.
Badgers Sett is a beautiful holiday let that really is a home away from home. It is wonderfully presented, incredibly comfortable, very spacious and has everything you could need. The games room was a huge hit and offers a great option when the inevitable rainy day comes along! We didnt get to try out the hot tub because of the weather but its another fantastic facility to use. The cottage is situated in a very quiet part of Tintagel but only a very short walk from the village, coastal paths and beaches. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area from the cottage and hope to return again in the future! The owners are on hand if you need them, very friendly and helpful and have renovated the cottage brilliantly a great place to stay!
Deborah
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the owners were lovely and couldnt have been more helpful! The accommodation is in a fantastic location and wed love to come back again in the future. Many thanks again for helping to make our holiday so enjoyable.
