  Badgers Sett was exactly as advertised, a comfortable barn conversion cottage with all possible amenities.

  Situated on a working farm, it was set in gorgeous moorland countryside and was a welcome peaceful retreat from the busy beaches we visited. The WiFi was good, an essential requirement for my 16 year old daughter, the water supply is from a borehole which, as described in the welcome pack, was some of the best I’ve tasted. The water did have lower water pressure than I’m used to but there was always hot water for showers and washing up without having to put the immersion heater on. I used the shared laundry as we were on the beach every day and swimming costumes and towels needed washing and drying - the tumble dryer is awesome and dried towels within 45 minutes!! Being on a working farm you will hear the farm animals …. The chickens wake early but can only really be heard from the single room at the back of the property. However, as compensation, you are also treated to seeing birds of prey, and as we visited during August, various nesting birds and baby rabbits. Google maps get you straight to the property if you enter ‘Helman Tor Cottages’ and it’s in very easy access to the Eden Project and both the north and south Cornish coasts. Jenny, the cottage host, was lovely and accessible if needed. We had a great time and will definitely look to stay here again the next time we are in Cornwall.

  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!!!!

  An amazing find.

  accommodation totally private and quiet set in a very short distance from the wolds that offers an abundance of walking footpaths and bridleways Woodlands vast open fields in such beautiful countryside. Also just a 2 minute walk into town that offers everything. Amazing tranquil villages offering pub food. Further afield you have wonderful dog friendly beaches that we found to be so clean. Really something for everyone from museums to fun parks to peace and quite of the countryside. Then back to the accommodation that we found to be home from home withvtge added bonus of the hot tub really there was nothing to find fault about the hosts were there but if required but very private. We thoroughly enjoyed a well needed quiet break with our 2 spaniels that loved every moment and have returned home very tired from their explorations. Thankyou xxx

  We were very pleased to see this property listed again having stopped there in 2018 and wanting to go back.

  The new owners have improved the offering by extending the area available to include a garden area which now means those staying have the option between the patio, garden or large hottub to while away the hours. The week we stayed in early June the weather was great, so we spent the afternoon chasing the sun around those areas following a morning spent walking our dog in the near by Willingham Woods. We stepped through the gate to the property and experienced 7 days of peace and tranquility. In the last 5 years we have stoped in various properties in different areas of the contry. This was up there with the best. We hope to return in the future.

  2nd visit to this holiday lodge , perfect pre Christmas get away and to celebrate my sisters birthday !

  We both enjoyed the hot tub which makes this place that extra special ! Just looking out the doors at the fish pond watching the birds is idyllic ! And the garden is great for the dogs ! Had minor problem with boiler but Beth was around straight away to fix it ! The lodge was decorated for Christmas which was lovely ! Easy access to Lincoln town or bit further afield beaches at Skegness and Mablethorpe were perfect for winter walks with the dogs ! Thank you for welcome gift of bubbles and biscuits ! Also the tescos across the road means you don’t have to worry about food ! Lovely holiday we will definitely be back !
