Badgers View Reviews

Fantastic location with stunning view. Love the Highland cows, goats and the morning wake up call. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Badgers view and definitely hope to return soon. The only criticism I would have is that the internal seating is not the most comfortable and the stools are too high to eat at the breakfast bar
Stephen
Wonderful experience. The farm is great, with plenty of animals but the hobbit style accommodation is wonderful! Private enough, hot tub a bonus, really comfortable and close enough to Rhayder. Highly recommend.
