  Badger's Sett at Alwent Hall was EXACTLY what I'd been wanting for well over a year.

  It was immaculate, comfortable and warm. The views over the surrounding farm land were incredible and the wood fired hot tub was definitely the highlight for me. Alwent Hall is quite easy to navigate to and find. There is a huge white stone at the top of the driveway that indicates where you need to turn in. There is also ample parking for large cars in the designated accommodation spaces. Alwent Hall is conveniently located between the Yorkshire Dales and Pennines National Park so ensure you plan a long enough stay to explore all they have to offer! Steven is a gracious host (he called me on the day of my stay to ask if I wanted the hot tub heated up!) and very easy to talk to, with plenty of life stories if you want to hear them - at the same time, he will happily leave you be to enjoy your time there on your own (unfortunately we did not get to meet his wife, Mary). There is a lovely pizza restaurant in the nearby town that delivers right to your lodge doorstep and the local pub, The Brownlow Arms, was a typical country pub that served AMAZING food. The one and only suggestion we have to improve (this does not affect our stay at all, just a nice comfort addition) is to add stepping stones from the door to the hot tub. The gravel was a little sharp under foot! Thankfully the distance from the hot tub to the lodge isn't far at all. I believe this place is ideal in winter and summer! We will absolutely return when the weather is warmer so we can enjoy a drink on the deck overlooking the rolling hills, stream and surrounding farm land. Overall, the lodge and its setting at Alwent Hall was a gorgeous, calming environment and I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering a hot tub/nature walk/log cabin getaway. I left feeling totally relaxed.

  My husband and I went for a three night break in Badgers Set.

  It was a wonderful experience. The owners were incredibly helpful and friendly; showing us around the hut and how to warm the hot tub. They phoned us in advance of us arriving to ask our estimated arrival time so that the hot tub could be warmed. There was a folder containing helpful information about the facilities and local amenities. We brought along our Labrador who had a welcome pack of his own waiting for him with throws for the furniture, treats and bowls. The setting was absolutely ideal for relaxing in a ‘get away from in all’ place. I was initially worried that the hot tub would not be private enough, but the careful layout of the huts meant that it absolutely was. While enjoying the hot tub, we were able to hear only a small waterfall near by and enjoyed a clear sky and all the stars! The hut itself was spotless with beautiful fixtures and fittings. It was warm and comfortable, with both central heating and a gas log burner. There is a large parking space allocated to each hut with well maintained pathways to each hut. Whilst we were there, we enjoyed nice walks in the local area and visited the nearby small towns. In the town we bought a picture of an owl, drawn by a local artist, to remind us of an amazing barn owl that flew overhead whilst we were in the hot tub. We would not hesitate to recommend Badgers Hut, we had the best time. Thank you.

  I actually dont know where to start with the review.

  We had the most perfect break at Badgers Set Cabin. Its been a stressful 6 months and I actually only buried my mum two days before we arrived. This place has given me time to reflect, repair and rebuild my soul. The owners are amazing! Welcomed us and showed us around...lit the hot tub so it was all ready when we arrived. A warm exceptionally clean Cabin. Stocked with all the cooking utensils and crockery you need for cooking on the hob and microwave. Little touches of emergency contact numbers, treats on arrival, a book with local restaurants, pubs, places of interest and much more. Our dogs loved being able to walk through the fields and go down to the stream in the woods. So if you are looking to relax, unwind, recharge your batteries.or explore further afield....then this is the place. We didnt want to leave!!!!!..I could have stayed another week. We will definitely be back soon....its just PERFECT!!!! Thank you to the owners for helping me through this difficult time .

  Just had a fantastic stay at Badgers Sett, so much so we nearly extended our holiday because we were having such a fantastic time.

  The lodge was amazing and had so many little touches that showed the owners had gone above and beyond to make it a good stay. The fire and heating were fantastic, the bed comfortable and spacious, lovely large shower and the hot tub! Well it was brilliant, and having it pre-lit for our arrival was a lovely touch. I notice another reviewer suggested stepping stones from the tub to lodge, we didn’t need these as we took some flip flops each but whilst we were there these were added, clearly listening to feedback and looking to make everyone’s stay as enjoyable as possible. We’ve already recommended the lodge to numerous friends and family and would love to come back again. We’ve visited a few lodge/hot tub locations and this is by far the best we’ve ever stayed in. Steven the host is brilliant - thank you for such a lovely stay! If you book this holiday you will not be disappointed.

  Beautiful log cabin with high quality fittings.

  There are three cabins very carefully thought out both inside and out to give you privacy from the other two cabins. The wood fired hot tub was superb and even though it was late October we were able to sit out on the veranda for an hour at 8pm after using the hot tub. All in all a wonderful, restful place to stay at any time of year. The owners Stephen and Mary are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. On arriving home we immediately booked the lodge again for June next year. I cannot rate these lodges and the owners highly enough. Although dogs are welcome in the lodges do not be put off if you if you do not have a dog, the lodges were spotless on arrival. Thank you to our hosts Stephen and Mary, we had a great time. See you next year, hopefully the lambs will be out in the fields then.
