Liked: Everything about our stay was perfect, the cabin we stayed in was cosy and clean, the toilet and shower were modern and clean, the location was quiet and serene, the surroundings were picturesque!!! And its only 5 minute drive away from Puzzlewood. We will definitely return and recommend that people go and experience Badger Barn retreat!!! WiFi wasn't the best but there is a spot you can get good signal but I wasn't fussed about the WiFi as was lovely to unplug for the weekend!!

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!
