The Badgers Shack is stunning with Chris the host most welcoming. Julieâs flair for interior design is impeccable. I would recommend the holiday experience we have just had to everybody. We had a fantastic few days.

A fabulous property thatâs tastefully decorated and furnished to the highest of standards providing everything you could possibly need for a lovely stay. Spotlessly clean and very warm and cosy. Situated in a lovely quiet location with plenty of walks from the front door, we didnât need to use the car during our stay. Chris was very welcoming and provided us with lots of useful information about the area. Julie also provided a lovely welcome basket containing local goodies. A lovely couple.
