About this property

Resting just a short distance away from the bustling town of Richmond and a stone’s throw away from the Yorkshire Dales National Park is this wooden lodge, 6 Badgers Retreat. With its wonderful North Yorkshire location, this lodge is perfect for couples, friends and families to come together to enjoy a tranquil oasis, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Inside, be welcomed into an open-plan living room boasting a contemporary interior design and everything you could possibly need to enjoy a self-catering experience. Catering to your culinary delights, the kitchen comes with a range of quality appliances and the dining table makes a social spot for you to gather to toast to a wonderful holiday to Yorkshire and tuck into a home-cooked dish. After dinner, relax into your evening by flicking on the electric fire and browse through the TV channels, whilst sunk into the plush sofa. Once the evening has drawn to a close, catch your rest within one of the two bedrooms, consisting of a double bedroom with an en-suite and an additional double bedroom, served by a family bathroom, boasting a shower over bath, basin and WC. During a balmy afternoon, head out onto the decking surrounding this lodge and enjoy a spot of alfresco dining, whilst your canine companions stretch their legs. Explore your surroundings by taking a drive into the nearby town of Richmond, boasting a stunning Norman castle, Georgian architecture, a large cobbled market place, with museums and monuments, accompanied by a large selection of places to eat and drink.

    Enjoyed seeing the lambs, rabbits, pheasants and a couple of deer around the site. Good location with local shops 5 minutes away and Richmond 10 minutes. Property was well equipped with all the home from home comforts (the only thing missing was some egg cups and a toast rack). We didn’t get to use the hot tub due to the weather, but it could do with being made a little more private. Overall it was a good place to stay and we would recommend. Thank you.

  • Carla

    The retreat was very quiet and peaceful. The beds were incredibly comfortable and when we arrived there was facilities to make a brew and settle in. First impressions were great! The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is we could have done with bin bags and toilet roll. The internet and TV in the main living area worked intermittently and the TV in the bedroom I couldn't get to work at all but these are only minor things. The owner was friendly and communication was good. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others for sure!
