The location is an ideal base for touring located in a rural setting with great views and local walks.. We were thrilled with the accommodation, Badgers Set was as described, extremely comfortable, very clean with great facilities and infirmary and we felt very much at home during our stay. It was a welcome quiet and leisurely retreat to come back to after a day of frantic touring. We will definitely book again. Thank you for a great holiday.

Very dirty on arrival, even though arrival time was out back for DEEP CLEAN! !! Large black patch of rising damp, smelt of must and damp, cups and plates dirty, had to wash them all!! Good job me and my husband like a cuddle because the mattress was so bad we kept meeting in the middle, no bedding or towels as promised but that was the fault of Sykes for not forwarding on owners new arrangement and the owner did eventually get us bedding and towels, WiFi rubbish and considering there was only one other family there, it was useless, the water from the shower was trickling out, I understand that it comes from a bore hole but they fail to tell you that until you arrive!!! We left after 3 days cos of the damp, even buying candles and febreeze we could still smell the damp..... not impressed at all, who is looking at these cottages and making sure they are fit to use as a holiday let.... especially at £996 for the pleasure!!!!! Very disappointed!!! Have put in a complaint so it doesn’t happen to someone else, thank goodness neither of us had asthma!!!!

Really comfortable accommodation with everything we needed.. The weather was a bit mixed during our stay so it was nice to have a warm, welcoming place to come home to each evening.

Nice cottage but the bathroom is freezing even with the one bar overhead heater on

Very nice cottage, as described.. Pleasantly situated in a very rural location down long winding narrow roads. Quiet and peaceful. Don't be put off by the bore-hole water - it tastes beautiful. Caroline and Kevin are friendly and helpful and they supply lots of information, including very good directions to the property. Wifi is slow but perfectly adequate for surfing. Plenty of hot water and heating, but don't expect a power shower. Our only negative comment is that the laundry room could do with some attention.

Mostly the price.. We were coming down as we are looking to relocate to Cornwall and was veiwing properties in the area. The cheapest travelodge I found was in Okehampton, on the A30 and was rather dreary, one room "apartment" and at £250 did not even include wifi. To my surprise, we found badgers set, which was a lovely two bed barn conversion, with own kitchen so we could cook our own food, beautiful surroundings, and very tranquil. And still cheaper than a travelodge on a main road.

Sykes directions were totally inadequate! We would NEVER have found Badgers Sett if Mr Wilkinson had not E Mailed us detailed directions! HOT WATER was hard to achieve and impossible in the shower. WiFi reception was very poor. As we had booked the holiday for my wifes 80 th Birthday ,the cottage did not meet expectations. Comments in the visitors book showed that these problems are ongoing and have not been addressed! This experience will make us wary of using Sykes again .We holiday very regularly.

Met expectations - just! Property is difficult to find - there are only property names on one side of the lane which cannot be seen when approaching from the opposite direction. The property is 4 miles from the village and not as described. It is approached by a long, narrow and sometimes uneven lane but when finally arriving at Badgers Sett we were pleasantly surprised to find a very well equipped cottage. However, we were disappointed that the wifi was so poor!! The shower was also disappointing as it was very weak and not very hot. Unfortunately all the cottages had a power cut one evening (but the farmhouse was not affected). We were told that the power should be back by 9.30pm but that we might lose our water supply!! Power was restored but it would have been useful to have a torch in the property for such emergencies! We did have a lovely holiday in Cornwall and the cottage is located within easy distance of many of Cornwalls favourite tourist attractions.

As this cottage is "off the beaten track" Caroline & Kevin who manage it sent us an email with very detailed directions which helped a great deal.. When we arrived there was milk in the fridge and plenty of tea & coffee to make a welcome drink after a long drive from Cambridgeshire. Badgers Sett is really clean, comfortable, well equipped and is set in lovely surroundings. I would certainly recommend it to anyone wanting an "away from it all" break.

Over the last six years we have traveled all over France and Spain.. We have stayed in some amazing places; cottages in Normandy, Brittany and other places of France. Agroturismo places in Spain. This year we decided to stay in the Uk and chosed Cornwall for our destination. It was fantastic. We had great weather, a great place to stay and some amazing beaches!!!!!

The cottage is down a long lane but if you follow instructions it is not a problem.. Enjoyed our stay and made a good base for exploring the area.
