About The Badger At Badger Brook

The Badger At Badger Brook is a stunning wooden lodge in Stanton-by-Bridge, Derbyshire. This open-plan cabin sits at the end of a quiet lane on a working farm, offering miles of countryside walks and cycle paths right from your doorstep. Perfect for families or friends looking for a rural escape without sacrificing modern comforts.

Set in the gorgeous Derbyshire countryside, this peaceful spot gives you the best of both worlds. Explore the rolling fields and woodlands by day, then watch the farm animals from your private garden. Everything's on one level too, making it ideal for those who prefer step-free living. And let's be honest - after a day of hiking, you'll appreciate not having to climb stairs!

The accommodation sleeps up to 6 guests across 3 bedrooms - 2 doubles and 1 twin, all with Smart TVs (because countryside doesn't mean you can't binge-watch in bed). The open-plan living area features a comfy sofa, Smart TV and fully-equipped kitchen with electric oven, hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and microwave. One bathroom with shower and WC serves all guests - the only downside according to Tasneem who visited with 5 people!

Nearby attractions include Calke Abbey (4 miles, 10 mins), Melbourne Hall Gardens (2 miles, 5 mins), Foremark Reservoir (3 miles, 8 mins) and Swadlincote Snowsports Centre (7 miles, 15 mins). Shop and pub just 2 miles away.

The Badger At Badger Brook is perfect for anyone seeking countryside tranquility with a touch of luxury. The private hot tub is the cherry on top - nothing beats sipping wine under the stars while your muscles thank you for the warm bubbles. Just remember to try those fresh farm eggs!

Wonderful owners, provided information on walking routes in the local area, and arrived to a little welcome pack that included treats for our dog (what a lovely touch). Very clean, and everything you could possibly need is provided. I packed things that were not needed, from dishwasher tablets, toilet roll to cutlery tongs and all of it was already covered. They even provide robes & extra towels for the hot tub. Kids loved watching the farm animals come out in the morning. Highly recommend.

The accommodation was well equipped, spotlessly clean and finished to a very high standard. The owners were on hand when required, friendly and knowledgeable of the local area.

Antoni-Jan

This is the first time weve ever used Holiday Cottages - we found Badger Brook after searching lots of other properties before finding this gem. We visited as our first family holiday with our pooch and were not disappointed. This was a home away from home, really chilled and relaxing and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. Our dog loved it even more than us and we cant wait to book to come back here again. The extra little touches (milk,tea/coffee, dog treats etc) topped it off. Thank You!

Daisy

Thank you so much, we all had a brilliant stay and enjoyed ourselves. The accommodation was in a lovely location, very clean and comfortable, with extras such as milk and fresh eggs. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Perfect for a small girls weekend away- relaxing and fun. Would love to come back and will recommend to friends/family!

Karen

Absolutely amazing. Cant wait to return. Thank you

Mathieu

Our holiday was great. The location is perfect and Jim and Carey are lovely. Our dog loved it too :) Also, as we had to work from there a couple of days, it was very handy that the internet worked perfectly. Highly recommend everyone to go!

Shauna

Wonderful welcome and stay. Hot tub was awesome

Nabeel

We had an amazing stay at the Badger Brook Lodge and we loved everything about it. There is everything you could possibly need for a few days stay, maybe add a fan. The place was spotless, comfortable beds and a nice shower. The kitchen is very well equipped. The hot tub was brilliant, and had daily care from the owners who visited us on the first night and showed us how to work it. Its quiet and has great walks where a map is left for you to explore. Will definitely be back again!! Thank you!!

Rhiannon

Lovely accommodation, well equipped and in a beautiful location!

Steven

Stunning property within a a quiet rural location yet only 10 minutes from the local town. All facilities were excellent, the lodge was superb and made for a lovely Christmas break.

Chris

Very welcoming owners,instantly made you feel at home with lots of recommendations of places to go. Spotlessly clean lodge. Fully equipt with everything you need. Lovely location, amzing views, kids loved the animals and meeting the ponies. Really thoughtful gifts,nice little added extras. Amazing hot tub. The only thing we could pick up on was the beds, a little on the creaky side when both in it, so hard to get a good night's sleep when the other one moves and vice versa. Kids beds were fine.

Karis

Absolutely beautiful accommodation, Absolutely immaculate, beautiful location, friendly owners. We had an amazing time couldn't believe how big the cabins are and snug. Lovely little touches from owners also as they left us a box of chocs to share, puzzle books. Certainly recommend here and will certainly be returning... thanks for having us guys.
