Really enjoyed our mini break in this shepard's hut - layout really thought through and very well equipped - hosts very friendly. Good for our small dog as had access to the field for exercise. Very handy base to explore the area. Would definitely come back.

We would absolutely recommend a stay at Badgers Rest. It is very cosy and has great facilities. We took our dog and had access to a large field for her to be walked. The views are beautiful. Jonathan and Mary couldn't have been more helpful and checked in discretely throughout our stay. Questions were answered as well as suggestions for local walksRead more and places to visit. There is a local garage to grab bits and pieces and supermarkets 20 minutes drive away. Hide

Just the perfect little shepherds hut, despite travelling alone (with one small dog) I felt safe and secure with the owners close by. Hut had everything I needed with all the kitchen equipment and nice toiletries in the bathroom too. Slept so well with all the fresh air. Would definitely book again.

We expected space to be limited but it would have been better if the bed folded away. The folding seats were very uncomfortable. We could not get the normal channels on the TV (eg; BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5). We were told that we could exercise our dogs in the fenced off field, but this was not possible as two horses were in the field.

We had a lovely stay at Badger Hut! The owners were so lovely and helpful, and the hut was well stocked with everything you could need for a short break. The bed was very comfy and the hut was cosy, even in some colder weather. Plenty to do and see in the local area. We would definitely stay here again.

stayed for 3 days with my wife and dog, everything we needed was in the hut, the area was so peaceful, all you could hear was the wind and the birds singing, once we knew the area, it was easy to get to, and not far from pubs etc, but definitely a place to go to have some peace and quiet.

We really enjoyed staying in the hut. The bed was super comfortable and we enjoyed the ability to sit indoors or outdoors. It's so nice being able to walk directly from the hut to the river and beyond too. The hut was really clean and had everything we needed. Its decorated really nicely too which always make a stay more pleasant. We saw the ownersRead more around and they were very lovely and accommodating. It's only 15 mins from Ludlow by car! We would definitely stay here again but there's too much of the UK left to explore! Hide

The hut was very lovely for a shot break, the owner welcomed us kindly and made us feel at home. All amenities were provided for and very clean which gave us extra comfort in our stay. The induction stove was very convenient for quick and easy cooking and great and clean bathroom facilities. Also plenty of options for outdoor seating and dining. WaRead morelks from the hut were plentiful and peaceful with a river very near through the farms estate. The B&B is attached to the same yard but one barely notices it, and Jonathon and his wife are just a walk away if you need anything! An overall beautiful stay which was very reasonably priced compared to surrounding options. Hide
