Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers unanimously mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as pristine and well-maintained, indicating meticulous attention to detail in its upkeep.
The location is celebrated for its serenity and proximity to the Lake District, with easy access to local walks and sights. One minor note about early daylight in one of the bedrooms slightly affects the perfect score.
Guests find the lodge extremely comfortable, highlighting the quality of the beds and furnishings. A single mention of discomfort due to early morning light in one bedroom prevents a full score.
The facilities are consistently described as high-quality and well-equipped, with everything needed for self-catering, including a BBQ. The property meets guests' needs to a high standard.
While the hosts are frequently praised for their warm welcome and helpfulness, there are no specific mentions of gifts, so it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness in terms of gifts provided.
About this property
The Badger's Shack is a marvellous, detached lodge near Garnett Bridge, enjoying spectacular scenery, including those of the Cumbrian fells. The fantastic property is ideal for two couples or a family of four, with ground-floor accommodation and open-plan living and is only a short distance from the Lake District's best attractions. After parking in one of the two convenient off-road spots, head inside to find a stylishly decorated open-plan living room, where you can snuggle up in front of the Smart TV and warming woodburning stove. When you're hungry, proceed to the kitchen, a well-equipped place with everything you need to prepare excellent, homecooked meals. These meals can be served at the adjacent dining table as you catch up on the day's events. When the sun goes down, make your way to one of the two magnificent king-size bedrooms, the first of which is accompanied by an en-suite shower room and the other enjoying an en-suite bathroom with a luxurious roll-top bath and exposed stonework. Wander out to the patio which overlooks the eastern Kentmere fells and Ulgraves, the local mountain, where a barbecue awaits, to take in the breath-taking views first-hand. The Badger's Shack promises a relaxing getaway for you and those who mean the most. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 1066265 and 1066269, together they sleep 20 guests.
