“We had a lovely, peaceful stay at Badgers Sett in Winston.”

The lodge is cozy, well-equipped, and perfect for unwinding, surrounded by beautiful countryside and wildlife. It’s also in a great spot for exploring, with Raby Castle and Barnard Castle just a short drive away, plus many places to eat nearby. One of our highlights was parking at Bowlees Visitor Centre, then walking from Low Force waterfall on to High Force waterfall and back one afternoon, a stunning route! The owners, Mary and Steve, were so welcoming, contacting us before our stay ...

The lodge is cozy, well-equipped, and perfect for unwinding, surrounded by beautiful countryside and wildlife. It’s also in a great spot for exploring, with Raby Castle and Barnard Castle just a short drive away, plus many places to eat nearby. One of our highlights was parking at Bowlees Visitor Centre, then walking from Low Force waterfall on to High Force waterfall and back one afternoon, a stunning route! The owners, Mary and Steve, were so welcoming, contacting us before our stay to see if we wanted the hot tub ready for our arrival, then on arrival we found a few lovely touch’s, such as milk, biscuits, tea/coffee, and a couple of bottles of fizz waiting for us. If you’re looking for a relaxing break with thoughtful hosts and plenty to see nearby, this is a fantastic choice!

“An absolutley fantastic get away.”

Stevens hospitality is superb, having the hot tub fresh and ready upon our arrival. We even got a call from him saying the cabin was ready much earlier which is superb service in itself. Beautiful scenery tranquil and calming. Would recommend badgers sett to anybody.

“Had a fantastic stay.”

The cabin was unbelievably cosy and clean with amazing views. Steven was excellent and went the extra mile to call us the morning of our stay to alert us to the road conditions as it was snowing all night. Would definitely stay here again!

- Scott, November 2024

Thank you so much for the very kind feedback. Snow always enhances the coyness of the cabins. We are so pleased that you would return. All the best of wishes Property Owner

“Thank you. We really enjoyed our stay again.”

No complaints. Totally understand the fire place just needed a professional to look at it, these things happen. Thanks again for allowing us to do a change over with my mum and her partner. We will be back!

- John, October 2024

David September 2024

“Stayed for a 4 night break with our dog and absolutely can not recommend this place enough.”

Fantastic hosts and superb accommodation. The attention to detail was amazing - even given dog towels and rugs. Hot tub ready for us on arrival. Great walks and attractions close by and access to fields from the accommodation. This truly was a gem of a find. Absolutely faultless. Don’t hesitate to book!

- David, September 2024

Wow, what lovely feedback, thank you so much. We are delighted that you thought it was “absolutely faultless”. It was lovely to meet you both and of course your lovely dog. Thank you again for recommending us. All the best of wishes Property Owner
Sarah August 2024

“The perfect place for a break.”

Beautiful lodge, very authentically furnished. Perfectly appointed with everything we needed. We loved the views from the hot tub. Little touches set accommodation apart nowadays and this had some which was welcomed. Our hosts were very friendly and even had our hot tub ready to get straight into on arrival.

- Sarah, August 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for the very positive review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your time with us. All the very best Property Owner
Tracy August 2024

“Another fantastic stay in the Badgers Sett.”

This has to be one of thee most peaceful and tranquil locations I have ever stayed. Definitely an added bonus that we can bring the dog along too. It wont be our last visit that's for sure. Whilst a short drive plenty of places to eat, and places to visit the lodges themselves are so quiet with the only noise coming from the local wildlife - bliss. Home from home with everything thought of, well equipped kitchen (better choice of utensils than my own!) all I need to do is pack clothes and food, perfect. Steve welcomed us for both of our stays and ensured the hot tub was ready for us arriving. Looking foreward to the next visit.

- Tracy, August 2024

It’s great that you have had another “fantastic stay” with us and that you intend to come again. Thank you for the comment about the kitchen equipment. We keep adding bits to ensure it’s as easy as possible for our guests so feedback like this is really helpful. Best wishes and we look forward to seeing you in the future Property Owner
Andrew August 2024

“Hi Steven & Mary The cabin is perfect and perfectly situated, very well maintained, the views are amazing and very rural with only a short drive to the nearest town, if you’re a dog owner it’s perfect,there’s a huge field for a huge dog to run free.”

Best Regards, Vinnie

- Andrew, August 2024

Thanks for your feedback and it was lovely to see you and the fabulous Vinnie again. We all miss seeing Vinnie at the fence, even our Shetland pony has missed him. Hope you both have a great time for the rest of the summer and hope to see you again in the future. Best wishes and thanks again Property Owner
David July 2024

“Where do I start?”

! We arrived and was greeted by the host, Steven. Lovely welcome and show around the lodge and area. We are used to going to caravan holidays and the lodge was kitted out with way more than we expected. It is a home away from home and will recommend to all friends and family. Thank you Steven and Mary! Until next time! Michelle, David and Amber

- David, July 2024

Well it was lovely to meet all 3 of you. It’s great that you are going to recommend to everyone and that you intend to come back, we look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for choosing to stay with us. All the best Property Owner

“I recently had the pleasure of staying at Badgers Sett and I cannot recommend it highly enough!”

From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the thoughtful and stylish design of the entire space. The attention to detail is truly impressive, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home.

Andrew May 2024

“Well What can I say 2nd time here within 5 months, it’s so tranquil you can ...”

Well What can I say 2nd time here within 5 months, it’s so tranquil you can hear birds land on the cabin, when I look outside all I see is fields and lambs and the sound of birds and a small water fall in the distance, Steven & Mary have been very welcoming with a big welcome package for me and Vinnie

- Andrew, May 2024

It was lovely to see you again and of course to see Vinnie again. He is definitely the biggest dog we have had stay with us, and so well behaved. A real gentle giant. We are pleased that you found it tranquil and we’re able to chill out. We hope to see you again sometime in the future. Best wishes to you both Property Owner
Tracy May 2024

“The Badgers sett was the perfect get away.”

Idyllic location and the lodge was exactly as described. Was lovely sitting on the veranda of an evening listening to the river and the wildlife. This truly is a peaceful retreat. The lodge was perfectly equipped with all the essentials we required, wifi worked well and the hot tub and fire were cosy. Wood, sticks and fire lighters are all provided for the hot tub which was amazing. Car parking was great with each lodge having its own allocated parking. Lots of amazing walks right on the doorstep. Steven was friendly and informative. He made us feel right at home and couldnt of been more helpful. Will definitely be returning soon.

- Tracy, May 2024

Thank you so much for taking time to give us feedback. Your comments are really great and much appreciated. We are delighted that you intend to visit again. Best wishes and thanks again. Property Owner
Marianunzia May 2024

“Absolutely stunning place.”

Plenty of walks, loads of privacy and quietness. These cottages are very well looked after by Steven and his wife, we'll definitely come back!

- Marianunzia, May 2024

It was lovely to meet you both and of course your lovely dog. It’s great to hear that you are coming back. Best wishes and enjoy the good weather that’s on its way. Property Owner
Alan March 2024

“If you are looking for a relaxing "away from it all" break, this is THE place to go.”

The cabins are beautifully fitted out with everything you need including a privately positioned wood fired hot tub. Love sitting out on the porch in the evening just listening to the wildlife and nearby river. To top it all, the hosts Steven & Mary are simply the best, really make you feel welcome and at home and could not be more friendly or helpful. We love coming to Badgers Sett and would not think of going anywhere else for a break.

- Alan, March 2024

Well it was lovely to see you both again. The fact that you return to stay with us regularly, really gives us a spring in our step as we do try to make sure everyone that stays has a relaxing and enjoyable time. Thank you both again for choosing us as your break destination. We wish you all the best and look forward to seeing you again in the future. Take care Property Owner
Chelsea February 2024

“Just come back and I have to say it was amazing!”

The owners went above and beyond for us, very friendly and helpful! The place is amazing, so relaxing, we loved sitting in the hot tub watching the stars and listening to the sheep (who were very active after being in the field

- Chelsea, February 2024

Lovely feedback, and we like the word “amazing”. The stars are beautiful and our dark skies really show them off. Pleased you were able to relax and enjoy them. Thank you for choosing to stay with us. Best wishes Property Owner
Andrew February 2024

“Hi all, I’ve never done a review before I think it deserves one, I turn up later than expected but still greeted with a smile and view, after Steven showed me everything about the cabin and a already heated hot tub, he showed me a vey big fenced field with access to a small water fall where Vinnie could run, it’s so quiet you can hear the river in the distance when I’m in the hot tub, If I ran low of logs to fuel the hot tube they were more than happy to provide more, if you’re looking for rural it’s probably the place to be.”

- Andrew, February 2024

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. We are pleased that you and Vinnie had a good time and we’re able to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. Vinnie is definitely the largest dog we have had as a guest, he was magnificent, and it was a pleasure to welcome you both. Hope to see you in the future. All the best Property Owner
Adam November 2023

“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.

- Adam, November 2023

What a super review thank you so much. We are so pleased you enjoyed your time with us and that you were able to relax. The wildlife is fantastic here and we tend to take it for granted so it’s lovely that you saw some of it. All the very best and thank you again Property Owner
Stephanie November 2023

“Wow what a stay!”

5* doesn’t even do it justice. Mary and Steven are fabulous hosts and couldn’t do enough for us. We were greeted by Mary who showed us around the lodge and left us some Prosecco and biscuits which went down a treat. We were also fortunate enough to see the northern lights during our stay. We will definitely book this again. Thank you so much for making our mini break fantastic. Steph and Olly (The happy hot-tubbers) x

- Stephanie, November 2023

Thank you for your great feedback. You shall now be known as the “ happy hot tubbers” that made us laugh out loud. The comment about 5 stars not doing the stay justice put a little spring in our steps so again many thanks. Well done for capturing the northern lights on your camera as we always miss them. All the best and hope to see you again. Property Owner
Susan October 2023

“Beautiful log cabin with high quality fittings.”

There are three cabins very carefully thought out both inside and out to give you privacy from the other two cabins. The wood fired hot tub was superb and even though it was late October we were able to sit out on the veranda for an hour at 8pm after using the hot tub. All in all a wonderful, restful place to stay at any time of year. The owners Stephen and Mary are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. On arriving home we immediately booked the lodge again for June next year. I cannot rate these lodges and the owners highly enough. Although dogs are welcome in the lodges do not be put off if you if you do not have a dog, the lodges were spotless on arrival. Thank you to our hosts Stephen and Mary, we had a great time. See you next year, hopefully the lambs will be out in the fields then.

- Susan, October 2023

What lovely feedback, and thank you for booking again so soon. It was great to meet you both and enjoyed our long chats!!! We are delighted that you used the hot tub and enjoyed it, as we are aware it was a first for you. We are both really looking forward to seeing you again. All the best. Property Owner
Alan October 2023

“Another lovely relaxing week at Badgers Sett.”

The cabin is beautifully fitted out to a high standard and everything you need is provided. Steven and Mary are perfect hosts, always available to help or for a chat but never intrusive. This was our fifth visit to Badgers Sett, but it won't be our last. I think that says it all.

- Alan, October 2023

As always it was lovely to see you both again and we can not thank you enough for choosing to stay with us again. You know the ropes better than we do now and that’s great. Hopefully you will keep returning. All the very best to you both and hope you don’t get too much snow over the winter months. Take care Property Owner
Michael September 2023

“A lovely second stay in Badgers Sett.”

A great base for lovely walks and also a very relaxing break away from it all. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. A fantastic friendly host, nothing too much trouble. Will be back.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

- Michael, September 2023

Thank you again for returning and of course for the 5 star rating. It is always lovely for us to see people, and their dogs, come back. We are pleased you could relax and get away from it all. Look forward to seeing you in the future. Best wishes Property Owner
Bronwen September 2023

“Really lovely holiday.”

Very clean and comfortable and well kitted out. With a warm welcome from the hosts. The photos of the cottage don’t do it justice, will definitely return. Lovely area to explore and not too touristy.

“Our 2nd time visiting which speaks for itself on how spectacular the Badgers Sett is along with the setting, the views, the property and the owners.”

Steven, Mary and the family really go above and beyond to ensure there’s everything you need to have the perfect stay away; the extra touches really go along way and just make you feel at home instantly. We will continue to return to this stunning lodge and can’t wait for our next visit. I can’t recommend this place highly enough, Thankyou again, Jade, Devon, Vinnie & Minnie.

- Jade, August 2023

It was great to see you all again and especially to see how much Minnie had grown. Obviously Vinnie has been a great role model. It will be great to see you all again in the future and thank you so much for your lovely review. Best wishes Property Owner
Andrea July 2023

“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 .

- Andrea, July 2023

What a lovely and very heartfelt review. We are so pleased to have provided somewhere to help you during a very difficult time. Loosing anyone is always so hard. We hope that you are able to see some light. It will be lovely to see you again in the future. Take care and all good wishes Property Owner
Vicky July 2023

Gary July 2023

“Running a busy pub business we were looking for a quiet short break away from life!”

! We found it here at alwent farm! Stephen greeted us on arrival and was very warm and welcoming. He showed us the lodge which was perfect and he had already fired up the wood fired hot tub. Another nice little touch, was the mini prosecco in the fridge alongside a handwritten tag wishing us a lovely stay. We were then left to our own devices, peace and quiet not bothered or hassled but help was right there if required!! The lodges, although in close proximity to each other, had more than enough privacy and seclusion! I would 100% return to stay here again. The surrounding areas are magnificent and beautiful adding to the whole experience, just be prepared to get back to nature and put on your exploring boots.

- Gary, July 2023

What lovely feedback, thank you so much. We would love to see you again in the future. We understand just how busy you are going to be over the summer period so good luck and take care Property Owner

Joe June 2023

“Wow! What a fantastic place in such a beautiful peaceful setting, it was just perfect for our three night romantic getaway.”

Badgers Sett was so clean, well equipped and maintained,as we're the grounds. Steve and Mary were the perfect hosts who went above and beyond for us, we had car issues and they took us to a garage and even gave us a lift to Barnard Castle. Sitting in the hot tub with your loved one, watching the sun go down with a glass of champagne in that gorgeous setting it really doesn't get much better. A gem of a find,we didn't want to leave,we will definitely be recommending and returning.

- Joe, June 2023

The layout of the cabins allows you privacy. Steven and Mary were both extremely accommodating and approachable. A phone call the day before to see if we wanted the hot tub on for us arriving, a welcome info pack in the cabin including little bottles of Prosecco and biscuits and even a goody bag for the dog. We thoroughly enjoyed our quick break and are looking at returning soon for a longer period. We have recommended the cabins to family already.

“We loved our weekend here!”

We received a lovely warm welcome on arrival and everything we needed to know about the lodge was explained to us. There’s a fab information folder in the lodge with everything from local history information to food recommendations. The lodge itself was immaculate and all facilities such as the shower etc were great. We were provided with lots of wood for the hot tub and also a lovely bottle of wine and biscuits! :) We were recommended the Brownlow Arms for a pub lunch and it was great. Proper pub food! Thank you so much for a great stay and hopefully see you again!

“Gorgeous property with everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay - a home away from home with the added bonus of a woodburning hot tub!”

Dog friendly place too with some really thoughtful touches like dog blankets and bowls to use during the stay. Frank especially loved the open field he could run and play in! The owners were lovely - really helpful and friendly. The location was perfect too with lovely walks on the doorstep or some interesting places to visit close by. We would love to come back!

We sat outside with our blankets and listened to the river flow and birds tweeting .. and because there is no artificial light ( street lights / road

The surroundings are serene and the lodge itself is cosy but modern.

“We absolutely loved our stay at Badgers Sett and will definitely be visiting again in the near future.”

The property was amazing and perfectly secluded. It is also in a lovely location with a lot of nice surrounding walks. Everywhere was kept spotless and it was very comfy and cosy. The hot tub was gorgeous and is in an amazing setting - definitely a view to see. The host Steven couldn’t do enough for us and he was very kind, helpful and made us feel very welcome and at home. If you are visiting this area I’d definitely book a stay here it’s gorgeous!

“The Badger Sett was nothing but spectacular and exceeded our expectations.”

The build quality, fit and finish of the property was top notch. The property is extremely private, very quiet and romantic. The wood fired hot tub was epic and our dog Ronnie loved the freedom of running about in the field adjacent to the river. The owners made us very welcome. The layout is exceptional and very cleverly designed and laid out. We cant thank them enough and will be returning without any doubt. The Badger Sett is a real gem in a wonderful part of the country.

- Mat, July 2022

Gosh that's fantastic feedback, especially the use of the word "spectacular", thank you so much. Its great that you will be returning, and of course that Ronnie had a fab time too. All the very best. Property Owner
Elizabeth July 2022

“We had an amazing time at Badgers Sett.”

Our weekend away here was everything we wanted and more. The owners had thought of everything which just made the stay more pleasant. Our springer was in his element too. We really can’t fault anything. We will definitely be looking to return. Thank you!

- Elizabeth, July 2022

Delighted you "all" had a good time and its great to hear that it was "everything you wanted and more" We are adding bits all of the time that we think will make our guests stay better, so its good to hear we are on the right lines. it will be lovely to see you again. Property Owner
Janet July 2022

“The lodges are extremely well presented and positioned very well for privacy from other lodges.”

The owners seem to have put a lot of thought into the planning of the site. I would have liked the use of a small oven in the lodge and upgraded bedding. But these are minor points, as overall the lodge was exceptional and would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing break. The owners were brilliant, helpful, and very welcoming.

- Janet, July 2022

Many thanks for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to provide positive feedback. We are pleased that were able to relax while with us. Property Owner
Claire June 2022

“Such a beautiful lodge and setting.”

We had a very peaceful and relaxed stay. Even our nervous rescue dog settled quickly and loved running through the meadow next to the lodge. The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly and we had everything we needed. Will definitely book again.

- Claire, June 2022

We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay, and delighted that your lovely dog settled and was able to have a good time too. It will be lovely to see you again. All the best of wishes Property Owner

Alison June 2022

“Great! Very clean property, cleverly designed exterior layout ensures privacy.”

Down to earth and genuinely friendly host, always busy keeping things ship shape. Some really thoughtful arrival and interior design touches, courtesy of Steven's wife - loved them, thank you. Our very large, 3 yr old rescue dog, is excitable in new surroundings but we were able to secure him on a 10 metre training lead and he still couldn't see other guests, given the grassy bank between cabins, which relaxed him perfectly. One afternoon we were saying how impressed we were with the hosts, just as a paraglider passed overhead - we both said "that'll be Steven" making a delivery! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - calm happy dog = calm happy people. Have already recommended to friends and will definitely be back.

- Alison, June 2022

What lovely feedback and brilliant the your lovely, and very well behaved dog, enjoyed the stay too. You made us laugh out loud with the comment about the paraglider. Good luck with your continuing dog support. Best wishes Property Owner
Alan June 2022

“If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing "getaway from it all" break, this is the place for you.”

Lodge is beautifully fitted out to the highest standard. Steven and family have a great set up and could not have been more helpful. We will hopefully return in the near future.

“Absolutely lovely place to stay,the farm was so scenic and peaceful and the lodges were extremely comfortable.”

Plenty of room for us, the dog and our 6 month old baby. Steven and his wife were fantastic hosts who made us feel very welcome. Would 100% recommend and would definitely stay again. Thanks for a great stay.

“The owners were so friendly and welcoming and couldn't do enough for us to make our stay special.”

The farm and surroundings was impeccably maintained and so were the cabins which provided such comfort, warmth and a touch of luxury. Surrounded by the stunning scenery and peacefulness of the countryside gave us a wonderful, relaxed holiday and memories to treasure.

- Michelle, May 2022

It was lovely to meet you and your dogs. Thank you for the great feedback and of course for the lovely letter that you left for us. Very kind words indeed. We are delighted that you were able to relax and enjoy your time with us. All the very best. Property Owner

“Absolutely stunning location and beautiful cabin.”

You can watch the sunset in the hot tub every evening. So peaceful, no noise pollution and a brilliant location to see the stars on a clear night! The cabin was layed out perfectly, so many small details put in by the owners. Steven and Mary were so welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. I would stay again for sure!

- Danni, May 2022

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. It was great to meet you both and of course your 2 beautiful dogs. We do have some amazing night skies here as there is no light pollution either. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us. All the very best. Property Owner
Ellie May 2022

“Our stay at Badger’s Sett was amazing, everything we could have asked for.”

We were looking for a holiday perfect for our two anxious dogs and we found the place here. It was so quiet, reserved and private. Steve got the hot tub ready upon our arrival and even while we were out on walks (Teesdale way and Barnard Castle river walk are great to do) we came back to a fully loaded burner. A dog bag was provided for the dogs, plenty blankets and towels for us. Milk, short bread and Prosecco were left in the lodge ready for us to enjoy. Our only feedback would be to maybe keep spare soft pillows in the wardrobe, but that’s just preference! Could not fault it at all and really a 5* stay. Thanks again.

- Ellie, May 2022

Thank you so much for your great feedback, we are so pleased that it suited your dogs too as we know that they were of concern for you. The fact that they were OK means that you could relax and that is the aim of what we are trying to achieve. It is always nice to meet people who care so much for their pets. Property Owner

Devon April 2022

“It’s safe to say that Badgers Sett surpassed all my expectations even after reading all of the other outstanding reviews.”

The standard of everything is amazing; the friendliness of the whole family, cleanliness of the property, maintenance of the hot tub, the area and the overall kindness. All of this just made our stay so much more memorable and we can’t thank all of the Alwent Hall Family enough for that. We will certainly be returning soon! Jade & Devon x

- Devon, April 2022

We are delighted to hear your stay was memorable. It was a pleasure to meet you both and of course Vinnie and your very cute young puppy. We will miss seeing Vinnie on a morning at the fence. It would be great to see you all in the future. Many thanks again for the lovely feedback. Best wishes Property Owner
Damien April 2022

“We were made to feel welcome as soon as we arrived and shown how to work the items in the cabin/ hot tub.”

It was added to the homely feel of staying on a working farm. When we got there Steven was attending to some lambs being born. The cabin and hot tub are perfect and we had plenty of logs for our stay to keep the hot tub to a temperature we were comfortable with. There is a lot to explore loacally, we took a walk to Raby Castle and then went a little further out to the coast. It is a very picturesque area and the farm only adds to it all. It is dog friendly, be aware you will be sharing the green space with the other cabins, even though your area is private, be aware if you have a dog that wanders. We will be staying again in the future.

- Damien, April 2022

Great to hear that you have enjoyed your stay with us and that you had the opportunity to visit Raby Castle. It is a real local treasure. Thanks again for the 100% grading, it always helps us to keep going. All very best and hope to see you again in the future Property Owner
Jo April 2022

“Our break in Badgers Sett was just perfect.”

The location is fabulous with beautiful views from the property. As Badger lodge is at the end we were not over looked at all. The attention to detail in the lodge was exceptional. Kitchen, bathroom, fire, huge bed all were faultless. Even a bag of items for the dog was provided - bowls, towel, blanket, poo bags. The hot tub was ready for our arrival and throughout the break, the owner kept the burner topped up. Beautiful evenings spent in the hot tub - plastic glasses provided for drinks and the clearest sky full of stars. The owners were so helpful and friendly, offering advice and conversation but only on our initiation and not intrusive at all. Would recommend without reservation to anyone!

- Jo, April 2022

We are pleased that you enjoyed your break and the wonderful dark skies and stars. We have recently added an easy guide to the star constellations to each lodge as many of our guest say how beautiful the stars are and that they would like to name them etc. Thank you for your recommendation. It was lovely to meet all "3" of you. Property Owner
Heather March 2022

“Amazing weeks stay with our two dogs.”

Idyllic location and accommodation. Lovely hospitality by Steven couldn’t do enough for us and nothing was a problem. We experienced warm sunshine and snow as Steve said two holidays in one! It was a pleasure to stay here we look forward to returning and cannot recommend it enough. Thank you

- Heather, March 2022

What lovely feedback, thanks so much, it was a pleasure to meet all 4 of you and delighted that you enjoyed it. Hope to see you again in the future. All the very best Property Owner
Neil March 2022

“Perfect from start to finish!”

The lodge has everything you need and is beyond cosy. The hot tub steals the show looking out on open countryside, if it’s relaxation you want this is the place. Steven the owner set up the hot tub for us everyday and was helpful every step of the way. We went for our honeymoon and when we left had a gift on our car windshield, which was obviously unexpected and above and beyond! Can’t wait to come back : )

- Neil, March 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback and of course for choosing to spend your honeymoon with us we felt quite privileged. We would like to wish you both all the very best for the future and many happy years together. Property Owner

Steve the owner was great. Nothing was to much trouble and we would highly recommend a great place to stay. The lodge is well equipped and the hot tub was fabulous. A very tranquil setting. We will definitely be going back again.

- Anita, March 2022

Thank you so much for your positive feedback. Great compliment from someone in the business and you would have thought the fairies had been in before we got to clean. . It will be lovely to see you again. Best wishes Property Owner
Alan February 2022

“A lovely little set up with three lodges, suitably separated to give some privacy.”

Steve the owner called us earlier on arrival day to see what time we'd be arriving and had the log burner hot tub fired up so we could soak away the travelling. The cabin itself is spacious enough for two. Big comfy bed, a large shower. Kitchen has all you need with a two ring hob, microwave and health grill for cooking provided but no oven. It's a new place having only just opened in December but he is building a separate cabing to house a bar which wil be open later in the year. The location itself is great with Barnard Castle on 7 miles away, Durham, Darlington and the coast all under an hours drive. Loads of local walking for those who do like a wander. A little gem that we hope to get back too sometime soon.

- Alan, February 2022

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback, this is really useful for anyone looking to book with us. We are pleased that you got to see some of the surrounding areas. Best wishes Property Owner
Nicola February 2022

“Really great stay.”

The cabin was perfect and super clean! Had all the amenities needed and loved the hot hub. The owners were super accommodating and friendly and the place is a perfect location for setting off on dog walks. Hoping to come back soon and book the other cabins for a big family stay.

- Nicola, February 2022

Many thanks for your comments and a lovely idea to have the "big family stay" we hope to meet you again and your family, including the four legged ones. Property Owner
Georgina January 2022

“Such beautiful little lodges, with everything you need.”

Steve was so helpful, giving us a ring before our arrival asking if we wanted the hot tub firing up ready for our arrival. He gave us advice about places worth a visit in the local area. Our fridge was even stocked with Prosecco, milk and some choci biccys

- Georgina, January 2022

So pleased that you enjoyed it. We would like to thank you both for being patient with us during the storm on Saturday and hope it did not have too much of an impact on your stay. All the best of wishes Property Owner
Laura January 2022

“Just had a fantastic stay at Badgers Sett, so much so we nearly extended our holiday because we were having such a fantastic time.”

The lodge was amazing and had so many little touches that showed the owners had gone above and beyond to make it a good stay. The fire and heating were fantastic, the bed comfortable and spacious, lovely large shower and the hot tub! Well it was brilliant, and having it pre-lit for our arrival was a lovely touch. I notice another reviewer suggested stepping stones from the tub to lodge, we didn’t need these as we took some flip flops each but whilst we were there these were added, clearly listening to feedback and looking to make everyone’s stay as enjoyable as possible. We’ve already recommended the lodge to numerous friends and family and would love to come back again. We’ve visited a few lodge/hot tub locations and this is by far the best we’ve ever stayed in. Steven the host is brilliant - thank you for such a lovely stay! If you book this holiday you will not be disappointed.

- Laura, January 2022

What lovely feedback, thank you so much we are pleased that you enjoyed your time with us and do hope that you come again. All the best. Property Owner
Trevor January 2022

“We just got back Sunday 23rd Jan we had a fantastic three nights stay, We were warmly greeted by Steve, He rang before we arrived to see if we wanted the hot tub fired up which we did, The lodge was perfect had everything we needed and was absolutely spotless Nothing was to much trouble for Steve and he was very approachable at all times also very informative and lovely smiley chap?”

Scenery from our lodge was outstanding and perfectly situated, We ate at the Brownlow arms as recommended by Steve and the food was excellent, Would not hesitate staying there again, It’s a massive TEN from us, Val and Trev, x

- Trevor, January 2022

Thank you for the lovely comments. We will certainly pass your feedback onto the Brownlow arms as well. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and laughed out loud at the comment "smiley chap" Best wishes to you both and hope to see you in the future. Property Owner

Louise January 2022

“Badger's Sett at Alwent Hall was EXACTLY what I'd been wanting for well over a year.”

It was immaculate, comfortable and warm. The views over the surrounding farm land were incredible and the wood fired hot tub was definitely the highlight for me. Alwent Hall is quite easy to navigate to and find. There is a huge white stone at the top of the driveway that indicates where you need to turn in. There is also ample parking for large cars in the designated accommodation spaces. Alwent Hall is conveniently located between the Yorkshire Dales and Pennines National Park so ensure you plan a long enough stay to explore all they have to offer! Steven is a gracious host (he called me on the day of my stay to ask if I wanted the hot tub heated up!) and very easy to talk to, with plenty of life stories if you want to hear them - at the same time, he will happily leave you be to enjoy your time there on your own (unfortunately we did not get to meet his wife, Mary). There is a lovely pizza restaurant in the nearby town that delivers right to your lodge doorstep and the local pub, The Brownlow Arms, was a typical country pub that served AMAZING food. The one and only suggestion we have to improve (this does not affect our stay at all, just a nice comfort addition) is to add stepping stones from the door to the hot tub. The gravel was a little sharp under foot! Thankfully the distance from the hot tub to the lodge isn't far at all. I believe this place is ideal in winter and summer! We will absolutely return when the weather is warmer so we can enjoy a drink on the deck overlooking the rolling hills, stream and surrounding farm land. Overall, the lodge and its setting at Alwent Hall was a gorgeous, calming environment and I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering a hot tub/nature walk/log cabin getaway. I left feeling totally relaxed.

- Louise, January 2022

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback we are just happy that you enjoyed yourselves and if you do return in the future there are many more life stories to be told!! Just thought you might like to know we have taken your suggestion on board and each of the lodges now have smooth stepping stones to the hot tubs-thank you. Property Owner
