  The property is beautiful, feels very luxurious and comfortable.

  Beds are comfy and it's spacious. Hot tub was easy to work and thoroughly enjoyable with the stream running right past. Sadly there were a few negatives: - the place was filthy. It looked as though it hadn't been cleaned at all. Plates and bowls were displayed nicely on the dining table but I had to wash them all before use due to finger prints and dust. The bedroom was disgusting. Dust EVERYWHERE, even on bedside table and easy to reach areas. Around and behind the bed was horrific with some sweets on the floor and I found a massive man sized, bronze pyramid ring (hard to miss!). - All the window guards were broken away (usually these are in place to open and close as the person sees fit, but were completely removed). This made the place extremely cold but also bug infested. I'd hate to stay during summer and winter months when creepy crawlies are out and about. There were spiders and webs at every window except the door opening to the hot tub. These could really do with being repaired as not only would I not stay again due to bugs, but the cold air was constant. The sealant around the windows were also in desperate need of repair! Other than those 2 negatives, the place is very beautiful and I'd love to stay again if the window situation was repaired and the cleaning standards were raised. The place is easy to find and very peaceful. So I really loved my stay. Not much nearby, so take your own food etc.

  My husband and I went for a three night break in Badgers Set.

  It was a wonderful experience. The owners were incredibly helpful and friendly; showing us around the hut and how to warm the hot tub. They phoned us in advance of us arriving to ask our estimated arrival time so that the hot tub could be warmed. There was a folder containing helpful information about the facilities and local amenities. We brought along our Labrador who had a welcome pack of his own waiting for him with throws for the furniture, treats and bowls. The setting was absolutely ideal for relaxing in a ‘get away from in all’ place. I was initially worried that the hot tub would not be private enough, but the careful layout of the huts meant that it absolutely was. While enjoying the hot tub, we were able to hear only a small waterfall near by and enjoyed a clear sky and all the stars! The hut itself was spotless with beautiful fixtures and fittings. It was warm and comfortable, with both central heating and a gas log burner. There is a large parking space allocated to each hut with well maintained pathways to each hut. Whilst we were there, we enjoyed nice walks in the local area and visited the nearby small towns. In the town we bought a picture of an owl, drawn by a local artist, to remind us of an amazing barn owl that flew overhead whilst we were in the hot tub. We would not hesitate to recommend Badgers Hut, we had the best time. Thank you.

  The lodge was absolutely lovely, comfortable and very clean.

  We were looking for peace and tranquility, which we definetly found here. The bed was very comfortable and the hot tub and views great. A few things which could be looked at, but probably none that would stop us booking again. One issue which really need looking into is the fridge, it is quite noisy during night ( which kept me awake) and the ice box was so full of ice we couldn't get anything in it. The outside seats really need varnishing, they're not a very welcoming first impression. There are no cooking utensils eg: spatula or scissors etc. and only two sideplates. Two of the coffee mugs are so badly marked inside, they need replacing. I really hope these issues will be dealt with, especially the fridge. It would really help to enhance a stay. We took our frying pan, as a review said the one provided was too small, unfortunately the pans don't work, the hob only comes on when the heavy pans provided are used. We took our Cosori which cooks most things as we knew there was no oven. A full length mirror on the back of bathroom door or wardrobe door would be a bonus. I like to be honest in reviews and feel sure Syke cottages would want to know of any concerns so they can be rectified.

  I actually dont know where to start with the review.

  We had the most perfect break at Badgers Set Cabin. Its been a stressful 6 months and I actually only buried my mum two days before we arrived. This place has given me time to reflect, repair and rebuild my soul. The owners are amazing! Welcomed us and showed us around...lit the hot tub so it was all ready when we arrived. A warm exceptionally clean Cabin. Stocked with all the cooking utensils and crockery you need for cooking on the hob and microwave. Little touches of emergency contact numbers, treats on arrival, a book with local restaurants, pubs, places of interest and much more. Our dogs loved being able to walk through the fields and go down to the stream in the woods. So if you are looking to relax, unwind, recharge your batteries.or explore further afield....then this is the place. We didnt want to leave!!!!!..I could have stayed another week. We will definitely be back soon....its just PERFECT!!!! Thank you to the owners for helping me through this difficult time .

  We had a pleasant stay at 43 Burnside Lodge.

  It was very well equipped,and comfortable,and the location of the park itself was ideal for all area's we were interested in for our week long walking holiday. I dislike having to give any negative feedback but feel I have to mention our disappointment on the cleanliness of the lodge. Although the towels/ bedding, worktops, and bathrooms were clean(apart from the grouting on tiles in the en-suite), the lodge had a fusty smell on our arrival, and looking at the cushions on the sofas,they could do with washing. The skirting boards were really dirty throuout the lodge and there were children's handprints on most of the windows(we didn't have children there). We also had to wash most the cutlery before using them. To me,these things should be checked and cleaned where necessary. The hot tub was a great addition,and we used it most evenings,and we really appreciated the prosecco and chocolates left by the owner. But,unfortunately,we probably wouldn't book again.
