Badgers Den, cosy lodge quiet countryside area near to beach in Bantham S. Devon

Set amidst the peaceful picturesque valley of Buckland Park near Bantham in South Devon resides this charming lodge called Badgers Den.
Sleeping up to 4 adults with an exterior to dazzle and an interior to wow, this retreat is most sweet. This homely Den offers great comfort from the moment you step foot onto the sunny decked verandah. The perfect holiday home for a romantic break for two or a family fun adventure for all, including our furry four legged friends who will love Badgers Den too !

Upon entry from the fantastic alfresco dining decking into the den, a spacious open plan living area welcomes you. Coat hanging space can be found near the rear of the kitchen. The kitchen is fully established with crockery, cutlery and bakeware. The classic decor kitchen is in keeping with the rest of the Den. Clean and soft colours brighten the kitchen with an elegant finish from the appliances. Badgers Den offers guests a variety of top and base cupboard units, a microwave, his & her toaster, wine rack, kettle, halogen hob, electric oven, dishwasher, washing machine, and a full sized Fridge/Freezer. Child protection locks can be found on the cleaning cupboards under the sink. A modern rustic dining table stands in the centre of the kitchen with 6 shabby chic up-cycled wooden chairs. Draws in the table offer a range of information and useful items for during your stay including brochures on things to do in the local area. The Sonos speaker found in the kitchen which is a great addition to kickback and enjoy.

Into the lounge area, carpet has been laid and a marvelous mini log burner resides in the corner of the room. The large window looks out onto the valley, and dependent on the season, you may be able to watch the sheep grazing. There are two sofas that can be found with additional throws for those chillier nights. A large wooden trunk sits in the centre of the living room, which works perfectly as coffee table. A TV, DVD-player and a range of DVD’s can be found – perfect for those rainy days to curl up and chill out. Badgers Den does include free WiFi, however, this is shared with the other residents in the valley so streaming is not viable. There is fairly good phone signal in the Den.

The bathroom amenities are intuitively designed for ease; the light switch is located left of the door, with fan and towel rail switches at the top right, all initially off upon arrival. Utilise the motion sensor for night lighting without activating the fan. Bath and shower controls, conveniently placed by the bath, operate both fill and shower heads with a dual-part screen to ease access. The mirror features integrated lighting and Bluetooth connectivity for added functionality. Enjoy every aspect of they intelligently designed space.

Badgers Den offers two bedrooms. The master bedroom faces towards the front garden, the double size bed offers great comfort and plenty of storage space from the bedside tables to the wardrobe and extra drawers. Decorated with a sailors theme, this white and blue bedroom is rather beautiful and envelops one into its cosy comfort.

The second bedroom is right next door. This twin single is effortlessly spacious, well designed and beautifully decorated. A shared bedside drawer unit hosts a lamp and radio. A large wooden standing wardrobe and chest of drawers provide ample storage during your stay. Extra throws and soft cuddly toys can be found in this room, along with a range of books and puzzles ideal for kids on a rainy day.

Badgers Den has access to both its own private garden and a communal garden, shared with the other residents in the area. The private enclosed garden overlooks the lush green fields and is perfect for dogs to wander in. The garden hosts a picnic bench, plus a bird watching bench for all the family to enjoy the outdoors or even alfresco dining. A retractable washing line can be found attached to the rear of the property in the garden. A Kettler bistro set on the decking is the perfect setting for morning coffee and afternoon sundowners.

Badgers Den includes parking for up to two cars at the front of the property, just before the trickling stream at the bottom of the valley.

Great secluded stay in a brilliant lodge
The holiday was brilliant and the lodge only added to it. The lodge is even more lovely than the pictures and is exceptionally comfortable - sofas, beds surpassed expectations for holiday rentals. Our stay was further positively directed through the exemplary communication with property owners/managers. Bonnie was so helpful and really knowledgeable and had a very sunny disposition - each interaction was exceptionally positive. The lodge was great, and the garden was super dog-friendly. Very well enclosed and plenty of bushes for them to explore. Location was great, being roughly a 15 minute drive from Salcombe and also Kingsbridge. You can walk to the Sloop Inn, and you can also walk to other nearby beach restaurants and picturesque beaches - BeachHouse on South Milton Sands is certainly noteworthy with great staff and food.; South Milton Sands is also a first class beach and offers fantastic waters with accessible facilities. Hope Cove is but another 20-30min walk away from here, again with lots of restaurants and pubs. Overall the stay was excellent and we wouldn’t hesitate to come back again - thanks for having us!
