Guests say
Badgers Sett is a well-received cottage in Cornwall, praised for its cleanliness, peaceful rural setting, and well-equipped facilities. Guests appreciate the detailed directions provided, the comfortable environment, and the property's suitability as a base for exploring Cornwall. Some concerns were raised about the water pressure, Wi-Fi connectivity, and bed comfort, but these were minor compared to the overall positive experience.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be very clean, with several positive comments on its tidiness. One review mentioned it being 'very dirty' upon arrival, but this seems to be an isolated incident rather than a common trend.
The location is frequently described as peaceful and ideal for relaxation, with beautiful views and local walks. The rural setting provides a quiet retreat, although some guests found the property difficult to find and the lanes narrow.
Guests generally found the cottage comfortable and welcoming. However, there were several mentions of creaky beds and thin mattresses, which suggests that while the overall comfort is good, there is room for improvement in the sleeping arrangements.
The cottage is considered well-equipped and maintained, with great kitchen facilities and essential amenities. Criticisms include slow internet, weak shower pressure, and occasional maintenance issues, but these do not overshadow the overall functionality of the facilities.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness category accurately, and the score is set to null.

Situated on a working farm, it was set in gorgeous moorland countryside and was a welcome peaceful retreat from the busy beaches we visited. The WiFi was good, an essential requirement for my 16 year old daughter, the water supply is from a borehole which, as described in the welcome pack, was some of the best Iâve tasted. The water did have lower water pressure than Iâm used to but there was always hot water for showers and washing up without having to put the immersion heater on. I used the shared laundry as we were on the beach every day and swimming costumes and towels needed washing and drying - the tumble dryer is awesome and dried towels within 45 minutes!! Being on a working farm you will hear the farm animals â¦. The chickens wake early but can only really be heard from the single room at the back of the property. However, as compensation, you are also treated to seeing birds of prey, and as we visited during August, various nesting birds and baby rabbits. Google maps get you straight to the property if you enter âHelman Tor Cottagesâ and itâs in very easy access to the Eden Project and both the north and south Cornish coasts. Jenny, the cottage host, was lovely and accessible if needed. We had a great time and will definitely look to stay here again the next time we are in Cornwall.

Very narrow Cornish lanes which were a bit of a concern at first (because our car can be temperamental). Lovely welcome and cottage set in quiet farm setting. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Great location for visiting both north and south coasts. Lots of pleasant walks inc Camel Trail. Would definitely recommend to others. Thank You

The same with sons wooden bed in single room. Possible get some road mirrors or some sort of entry and exit system so can tell if car coming down track to accommodation as big cars struggle to reverse down it. Hot water was great no issues came out hot straight away even managed baths as well as showers. Nice quiet location away from everything.
