Thanks for leaving some basic essentials, much appreciated.
Nice comfortable stay for the weekend. Quiet location not far from Windermere.
Only improvement would be WiFi onsite which the kids would have appreciated.

Thank you for your kind review, Dean. We're really pleased to hear you had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the peaceful location close to Windermere. We're also glad the essentials we left were appreciated and helped you settle in for the weekend.
Just to note, the WiFi is provided by the holiday park as a complimentary service and is not managed directly by us. While it's a useful addition, we understand it can occasionally be unreliable, particularly during busy periods. We appreciate your feedback and understanding. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and would recommend to others, thank you - and we hope to welcome you again in the near future.

Really pleasant stay.
Ideal for a family. Lovely views across the valley and great as a base for walking.
The site was also good for touring the southern lakes.
The lodge was well laid out , warm and cozy. The bedrooms were spacious and clean and had plenty of storage. In better weather the decking area would also be well suited to small children.
Would definitely book again.

Great stay at these lovely place
It's a lovely place with a stunning view, complete with all amenities to make your stay comfortable and fun. Location is great reasonably close to a lot of attractions. It's a place where you would be happy to come home to after a busy day on the lakes. I highly recommend this place.
The only thing that needs to be fixed is the WiFi as there's no broadband connection and the mobile signal is poor, the only one that works is the O2 network.

Hi Vito and thank you very much for your review. We do agree that Badgers rest is a home from home lodge and in a great location. Unfortunately the Wi-Fi is the parks Wi-Fi and not direct to the lodge and this does not always prove so reliable. We are very happy you had a great time and that you would recommend the lodge and we do hope to welcome you back again in the near future.

Great lodge and location, let down by cleanliness
Lodge was great and as expected, only downside was lodge cleanliness was not great. Floors noticeably dirty in corners and edges, especially in main bathroom and kitchen equipment put back in cupboards poorly washed etc. Just feels like the lodge needs a deep clean and the regular cleaning regime increased/more attention.
Response from VrboOwner on 19 September 2023
Thank you for the review. Whilst we are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and indeed the location, we were sorry that the lodge was not as clean expected. We have spoken with the independent cleaner responsible for Badgers Rest to ensure that the lodge is kept to the standard that you, and we, expect from this privately owned lodge. On our part we shall also be monitoring the lodge more closely. Thank you for making us aware and please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. On a more positive note, thank you for recommending the lodge to others. With fantastic views and accommodation that sleeps up to 6, Badgers Rest is a superb place to stay for a relaxing break in the Lakes. We do hope that we welcome you again soon.

Lovely lodge
We stayed in the lodge for a few days at new year. The lodge was in a perfect location on the site with lovely large windows overlooking the hills. The beds and bedding were clean and comfortable. Our only complaint would be the cleanliness of the lodge. Othe bathrooms weren’t very clean corners of the bathrooms around the toilet etc. a lot of ornaments and nick naks on surfaces dusty. I feel like the cleaners are not doing a thorough job between visitors which is a shame for the owners of the lovely lodge. Everything else about our stay was perfect. If it was cleaner I would definitely recommend the lodge to others

Thank you for your review. We take on board all you have said and we apologise that a few things were not quite right for you. We have raised the issues with the independent cleaners who have assured us that they will put matters right and that something similar will not be repeated. Furthermore we have already followed up on this matter and can advise the lodge is now to the standard that you and we expect from a privately owned lodge. On our part, we shall also be monitoring the lodge more closely in future. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. On a more positive note, we are pleased to hear you otherwise enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you again soon.
