We had a wonderful long weekend at Badger Cottage. The cottage was well equipped and just the right size. The views were spectacular and we all enjoyed having a morning coffee together while admiring the view. In addition to this the neighbours were lovely and made us feel very welcome. Couldn't ask for more and hope to visit it again soon.

We loved this cottage! It was a perfect location with stunning views. The cottage was very comfortable and had everything you could possibly need. The small village of Cressbrook was a typical quaint English village. The neighbours were all very friendly and helpful. We would definitely go back and stay here again!
