Description
Badger's Den is a picture-perfect thatched cottage situated in the heart of East Devon National Landscape, in the picturesque town of Budleigh Salterton.
With dedicated parking for two cars and welcoming up to three well-behaved dogs, this delightful retreat is perfect for families or friends seeking a tranquil escape, with easy access to the beach at Budleigh Salterton and partial ground-floor living for those with limited mobility.
Set back from a country lane, the cottage is located next to the owner's home with views of the vineyards on the opposite hills.
Upon entering the property, you'll find the living/dining room, an inviting space complete with an electric fire and TV, perfect for those relaxing evenings in.
Adjacent to the living room, you'll be greeted by a galley elm kitchen, fully equipped to cater to all your culinary needs throughout your stay.

Step outside to the enclosed rear garden, a safe haven for your furry friends to roam freely.
Here, you can enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink on the lawn, or dine alfresco using the outdoor furniture.
The conservatory, facing onto the back garden, provides an additional space to relax and enjoy the surrounding views, whatever the weather.
Immerse yourself in the charm and beauty of East Devon.

What guests are saying
Lovely place enjoyed our stay what you would expect from a thatched cottage owners really nice and helpful
Beautiful cottage.
Spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need and more. Near to lots of picturesque places. Highly recommended.
A beautiful cottage in a stunning location.
Peaceful and tranquil with wonderful walks for the dogs from the doorstep. An enclosed suntrap of a garden with beautiful planting made our stay even more relaxing. The downstairs bedroom with wet room was perfect for my elderly parents with mobility issues. The owners live next door and welcomed us with a homemade cream tea on arrival. We will be booking again for next year.
