Beautifully furnished with breathtaking views and a hot tub!
During our short stay at Badgers View we were greeted with a beautiful cosey lodge that was fully furnished with breath taking views of the gorgeous countryside. We especially enjoyed the hot tub where we were able to relax and soak in the the amazing scenery. Overall we had an amazing stay and left with amazing memories.

Excellent Retreat
A gorgeous place to stay with outstanding views. Badgers View was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Every need was catered for and provided a fantastic retreat for us to relax in and explore the countryside. Thank you so much.

Will return again!!
Beautiful location and stunning views! The hobbit holes are well thought out, fun and cosy. They were so warm inside which I wasn't expecting and the hot tub is a brilliant touch. Plenty of space for everyone. Kitchen had all utensils, beds were comfortable and I absolutely loved the shower! Would recommend and would stay again.

Perfect family break
Fabulous location, stunning views to wake up to. Comfortable place to stay. It rained all weekend but the hot tub was perfect to relax in. Only negative point was the curtains do not fit the windows and my daughter struggled with the outside light coming in. We will return in the summer months

Beautiful!
Stunning location with beautiful views. Lovely accommodation and facilities for self catering. Massive hot tub! Only downside was the seating in the living room. It didn’t allow us to relax as a family as very clinical but didn’t dampen our stay too much.

Beautiful property in stunning location
We loved our time at badgers view. The children enjoyed the freedom of running about outside and great we could bring our little dog with us. Bedding was clean and comfortable, and facilities were great and also clean and tidy. Hot tub checked daily and kept clean each day for us. Lovely location with the cows outside and just as peaceful as we wished for.

Its all about the view!
We stayed in badgers lodge for 2 nights to finish off my 40th birthday celebrations and wow the view and the setting is beautiful.. was just the relax that we all needed.. sitting outside with a cuppa after a long day exploring with the view that u could watch for hours. Only criticism i would say is the sofa isnt very comfortable.. but honestly it wouldnt put me off going again x

Badgers View
Cons: No storage/wardrobes Not enough seating for the 6 of us Stalls to high to eat comfortably at the counter Poor lighting outside (lights there but not working) and no response when sent a message about it. Pros Location was fab - beautiful views and only 5 mins into the town. Beautiful scenery/views Spotlessly clean Comfy beds The rainfall shower was a hit Hot Tub Parking right outside accommodation We would stay again but not with 6 of us in one accommodation.

Great Stay Away
Fantastic location and loved the accommodation, however it was very wet and windy when we stayed and there was water dripping through the lights in the kitchen onto our backs when we were eating at the table. One of the bedrooms had water coming through the door making it very damp. It seems maybe it could have done with some TLC to make sure these issues are sorted.

Magical break in a Hobbit Hole!
Definitely needs to be on everyone's bucket list!! We booked as a surprise for my Dad 80th birthday as he is a life long JRR Tolkien fan! We were not disappointed!! It moved him to tears! The Hobbit Hole itself was comfy, immersive and superbly equipped (the beds are SO comfortable and the shower is luxurious!) As it is on a working farm, the surroundings were fantastic. the views were breath taking and the hot tub and fire pit made for long relaxed evenings - perfect!!!!!!! We honestly could not have found anything better - we all now want to come back for Christmas!!!!! Plenty of room for 5 adults and a dog on Badgers view.

Stunning views and cosy stay
On the whole the stay was great and the setting amazing! We enjoyed the hobbit house and the area very relaxing and peaceful. Great to wake up to birds and great scenery. Sorry there was a couple negatives.. mould around the doors and windows and there wasn't a way to turn on the heating. The floor was lopsided and it made the bathroom uncomfortable. The windows couldn't be fully blacked out and the outside lights were very bright so made it hard to sleep. On the whole was great and felt that 2 nights was more than enough to have the full experience. Thank you! Was a nice anniversary get away.

Spectacular
We loved our stay at badgers view. The location and views were spectacular. Holiday Wales provided us with ample information on how best to enjoy our stay, ie. What to do and where to eat in the surrounding area. The property itself was clean and although there was no fairy liquid and toilet roll on arrival, once we spoke to the onsite administrator this was rectified immediately. My only advisory to future guests would be to know that there is minimal storage available at this property. Ie. There are no cupboards and drawers. We lived out of our bags and fortunately we only stayed for a few nights or else this would have been overwhelming. We would definitely come back!!!

4/10 Poor

Tired and in need of an update
After looking forward to this unique concept with stunning view we were very disappointed with the very tired and in desperate need of some love property. Toilet seat was filthy and hanging off, floors are extremely tired and wonky, the place smelt of dogs and the bathroom was fusty and damp. Nearly every surface is damaged. The cleaner hadn't done a full clean, crumbs and hairs everywhere, food splashed up the units. Bedding had holes, we stripped the beds to find a mouldy quilt (you have to strip beds an hour before leaving, hot tub gets turned off night before you leave). We would recommend it needs renovation before more customers go in.
