    “We stayed at Badger Cottage for a week in September '26 and had a lovely, peaceful stay, visiting nearby National Trust properties and nature reserves.”

    The cottage was sparklingly clean, well equipped and comfortable. The setting is very quiet and spacious. Sally, the host, was very kind and thoughtful. We appreciated being able to charge our EV using the EV charger attached to the cottages. We'll certainly be returning sometime soon!
