16 badgers retreat is on a very tranquil park with lovely walks, which is great if you are a dog owner. The Lodge has a well equipped kitchen. The large settee is very comfy. The bed also is very comfortable. We slept so well. We loved the hot tub option especially after a day walking and exploring the Dales. If we are ever back to this area we will definitely return. Thanks for a great holiday

16 Badgers Retreat is a lovely lodge. It is furnished and fitted to a high standard and fully fulfilled my expectations from the photographs on the website. It is also extremely well equipped, there is everything there you could possibly need and more! The site is very peaceful with beautiful surroundings and the owner, Gary is friendly and helpful when needed. I had a lovely few days there and wouldnt hesitate to recommend it.

We really enjoyed staying at Badgers Retreat. If you want peace and tranquillity it is a perfect place to stay. Any problems with anything at the lodge Gary the owner next door is more than happy to sort it out.

Wonderful few days very quiet and peaceful, just what was needed. Travelling alone can sometimes be daunting and difficult, but didnt feel at all worried.

Lovely stay at Badgers retreat. Excellent lodge very well equipped, comfortable & decor was beautiful too. Weather was really kind to us so that was a bonus to get out and about around North Yorkshire & we enjoyed use of the hot tub too. Lovely site and beautiful surroundings would definitely recommend. We really enjoyed our stay here.

This property was amazing, weve stayed in many properties like this one but this is by far the most beautiful and well maintained one. The hosts, Gary & Julia were very friendly and helpful. The scenery & walks for our dog were amazing.

Fantastic lodge very comfortable and has everything needed for a lovely stay , peaceful site and Gary the owner was great very informative of places recommended to visit and shops etc and also got a few issues we had fixed promptly . Having a bath after days walking was great and bed was very comfortable, .

We had a wonderful time. The lodge was very clean and comfortable. The site was very pretty and people there were very friendly. We will definitely go back.

Malcolm

One of the best equipped and maintained lodges we have stayed in. We will certainly try to make a return visit. The early set back with Sykes failing to contact the owner about a one day change of booking date did not detract from our short stay in this delightful lodge in such beautiful surroundings. Thank you Gary for taking the time to check we had everything needed.

The property was clean and well appointed. It was in a nice quiet area. All the people on the site were very friendly. Giving us a really good holiday.

Really nice lodge, very comfortable, open plan so no one left out when cooking. Very quiet which we enjoyed, only downside was the weather, but cant control that. Will definitely book again.

Me and my partner had a lovely weekend stay in this beautiful cabin. The highland cow theme was just perfect and make it feel so cosy, warm, and welcoming.

Alison

The lodge was beautiful, very clean and cozy. We found everything we needed. My only observation was the lights on the back were the hot tub was, we couldn't see where they turned on. But other than this was a great stay and would come back again and recommend it.

Had a lovely stay, very clean and all amenities we needed. Host was very helpful and friendly . Will visit again in the future.

We didn't stay even for the first night. We repacked the car and left. This property is not as advertised. The level of finish is poor inside and out. The decking was tired and worn. The bathroom and toilet floors are carpeted even around the toilet itself! I know! The oven shelf had some old, bakedon food on it. There was an usual smell throughout the property. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Can't fault it, we had a lovely chilled out weekend. Clean and tidy, hot tub was a bonus thanks

Stuart

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.
