“Well equipped and well heated for a winter stay, with the bonus of two sitting areas.”

Only downside is tight parking and for one car only.

“This is a gorgeous cottage that still retains many original features and old beams.”

Its very spacious and has much charm. The cottage has a lovely garden too. It is well placed for walking down to the beach, a well stocked shop and a couple of nice pubs down the high street. The views in this area are breath taking, truly a beautiful part of the West Country.
Mrs Fowles August 2019

“Badgers is a lovely cottage in a great position.”

Two good pubs The Royal Oak and the George. The Royal Oak food is excellent. Not enough parking at badgers as the house sleeps 6 , but that could be addressed with some sorting out by the garage. Only parking for one car and that’s tight . The size of the arch way needs to be told in the Badgers info from the start as it is narrow and people need to know this .
Mr Walder July 2019

“The only downside was that the garden was a real mess when we arrived.”

Great location not far from the beach and brilliant park area

We are delighted that you have rated Badgers so highly. The garden is maintained weekly by our professional gardener, so we are surprised that you found it not to your taste. Most comments highlight it as a special feature. Many thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Owner relations

“The cottage is decorated to an extremely high standard - the garden is absolutely stunning at this time of year (late June).”

All the equipment you could possibly need is provided. A wonderful base from which to explore the Jurassic Coast.
Mrs Miles April 2019

“A pretty, warm and comfortable cottage with everything we needed, with the most beautiful and inspiring garden to enjoy!”

So many different places to sit and relax with a book both outside and in, and lots to do in the area. Would love to come back again, a real home from home in such a great location.
Mrs Geffin April 2019

“The photographs and description do not actually do this cottage justice.”

It is spacious, very well equipped, comfortable furniture, great bedrooms, thoughtful touches everywhere. As a family of four we absolutely loved it. Garden is a adorable and lovely sun trap too. Charmouth Beach is great and of course Lyme Regis close too. We also loved The Anchor Inn at Seatown and Felicity’s Farm Shop both nearby. We had a great time. Thank you.
Mrs Hall April 2019

“The cottage was very central to the village but very quiet.”

There was a bus stop a short step away and a 10 min walk to the beach.It was very unique in character with plenty of room and with everything you could possible need provided. The cottage was warm, the beds very comfy, plenty of hot water and very welcoming to both humans or canines.We enjoyed a very pleasant stay
Ms Carrington March 2019

“Have already recommended Badgers to my daughter and grandchildren!”

Unfortunately they were already booked up for the dates she wanted. Surprisingly quiet for a "main road" location. Not overlooked and space anough for six people easily. Beautifully clean and feels like home straight away. Wonderfully quirky, with each room on a different level!
Ms S'jacob February 2019

“This is a really gorgeous holiday cottage - well looked after, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and with everything you needed during your holiday.”

Staying here felt like a real treat - we would happily go again.
Mrs Waterman November 2018

“Good location.”
Mrs Dixon October 2018

“We had a wonderful family stay at Badgers Cottage.”

It was very well equipped and comfortable. It was nice having 2 reception rooms. Great location. Would highly recommend it.
Mrs Sanders-Dunbar August 2018

“I can fully recommend Badgers and the service we received with Helpful Holidays when booking etc.”

The property was excellent and every eventuality had been thought through. We will definitely be returning and have already recommended to friends and family!
Mrs Cawsey June 2018

“A lovely holiday retreat,comfey beds and tasteful decor,with a delightful cottage garden.”
Mrs Horsey April 2018

“A most peaceful retreat in a wonderful area.”
Mr Barton March 2018

“A lovely and very comfortable cottage.”

It's a real bonus having a well- stocked corner shop within 5 minutes walk. We loved the wonderful scenery and walks around this area. Only slight issue with the house is the pillows: they were okay for us but I don't think they're robust enough to last a season. ( Please don't publish this bit).
