Liked: The Badger Barn Retreat really felt like a retreat as it’s private and secluded. We loved the privacy of our own garden, bathroom and shower facilities. The hut had a comfortable ready-made bed, a sofa, many cosy blankets and pillows. There’s an area to cook and make coffee-tea, a dinner table inside and outside too. We loved the hammock and the pretty gardens. We are planning on staying again as it was a perfect getaway. The location is good too as it’s close to many outdoor adventure places. Our favourite day out was to Puzzlewood Forest. Would love to revisit in the winter and use the cosy fire!

Liked: What a fantastic hut! We stayed in the Badger Barn Hut. There’s a hammock and it’s much larger than the pictures make it look. Lovely hideaway for a couple. Quiet, private, peaceful.
Disliked: Nothing!
