We wanted a cosy retreat and we weren't disappointed. Badgers Cottage was a delightful little bolthole to take a pause and recharge - and even the constant rain didn't dampen our spirits. The tea and biscuits when we arrived were most welcome! The cottage was clean, well appointed and, once we got the hang of it, the woodburner kept us toasty with lots of logs in the barn. The cottage had a lovely garden which would be ideal on a sunny day with fqantastic views. We enjoyed the local pub (the "across the fields" route perfect by day, less so by night!) and had some walks on the local paths so there's no need to go far away. The neighbouring sheep are very friendly, too! A few leaflets and maps of the local area would have been handy - and some games for rainy days would be a nice addition. We wouldn't hesitate to come back and have already recommended it to others. Thank you!...

Badgers is the end cottage of three, with the middle cottage also let out. The owners live in the farmhouse opposite. There is also livery at the farm and they farm a few sheep, which had recent lambs. The lanes are quiet and the local pub can be seen across the valley. There are stalls to buy eggs and garlic and tomato plants within walking distance. Bridport is about 10 minutes drive away with markets on Saturday and Wednesday....
