We loved our week away at Badger cottage. It exceeded expectations in cleanliness, available equipment I.e kitchen utensils and general homeware. Andrea, the owner, was welcoming and attentive, yet respected our privacy and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. The location was quiet and was surrounded by a cow field. These cows were ofteRead moren in the pathway as you drive up the lane but this didnt bother us and if anything, provided more excitement. Well definitely return!! Hide

Everything about this cottage was good. Clean, comfortable and welcoming. We chose this cottage for the EV charging with clear pricing but found we had stumbled upon a real gem - couldn't have been better!

Peaceful location away from the hustle and bustle, a rare quality of quiet and tranquility, in the middle of spectacular hilly landscapes, never far from the sea. In proximity of Dorchester, a beautiful city with much to offer, in easy distance of iconic beaches and towns, and of surprising places of interest and art. The cottage is tastefully and Read morecomfortably laid out, very well equipped. The games room is a must and got us very competitive. The owners are responsive and attentive hosts. Hide

Clear directions from Andrea made the cottage very easy to find and what a gem it is!. Beautifully converted, maintained and equipped to the highest possible standard. We had everything we needed and more. If you don't want to cook, plenty of lovely pubs within a 20 min drive, if you do, a very well equipped kitchen. Lovely walks on the doorstep.

The cottage is excellent in all respects from location to furnishings and fittings, plus the added bonus of a games and laundry room. Andrea and Mark could not have been more helpful. The overall experience for our two weeks in Badger Cottage was 5 stars Plus.

We had a lovely time at Badger Cottage. The property is immaculately equipped and maintained, we really enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of its very secluded location, and the natural beauty of the surroundings. Andrea and Mark are attentive and capable hosts. The only regret is not having had more time!

Badger Cottage is a wonderful place to stay. Near to Dorchester and the Dorset coastline, yet feeling like youre in remote countryside surrounded by nature and birdsong. The cottage was spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable and the kitchen incredibly well equipped. Having the use of an EV charger was fantastic and meant we never had to use a publiRead morec charger for the whole week. Andrea and Mark are lovely hosts, really helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be returning. Hide
