Here on the very edge of the town stands Badger Garth and within its private grounds the recent development of Badgers Holt with a traditional exterior but built to very modern standards including all the refinements and benefits of modern design and technology. Entry is to a very spacious fitted kitchen with a central island unit and an adjacent, convenient toilet with washbasin and external access to the rear patio. Off the kitchen through double doors is a large lounge/dining room which also has an external entry from the parking area. From the kitchen a stairway rises to a landing serving two double bedrooms one with a king-size bed and an en-suite shower room with washbasin and toilet, the other with a double bed, also a twin room and a shared bathroom with bath, showerhead, washbasin and toilet. All the upstairs rooms have skylights, a treat to watch the night stars and the en-suite and twin rooms also have windows. To the side of the house is a gravel parking area and small lawned area, to the rear a private flagged patio which overlooks trees and open meadow towards Swinney Beck. A modern, stylish cottage, purpose built for the holidaymaker and designed on modern family life. Lots of living space and light with innovative contemporary design and an attention to detail enhanced throughout by atmospheric lighting effects. Built with you in mind. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Gravel flooring in public areas - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, fireplace, DVD player, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90920000/90917300/90917237/59a4cd10.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### EAST LODGE - STUNNING HOLIDAY HOME, SLEEPS 8, SET IN GLORIOUS YORKSHIRE Bedale - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-28&endDate=2025-11-29&selected=90917237&PinnedHotelID=90917237&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91650000/91646700/91646673/838bd10b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Country Hideaways | The Hay Barn | Grewelthorpe Ripon - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 9.6 Exceptional 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-28&endDate=2025-11-29&selected=91646673&PinnedHotelID=91646673&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108140000/108137300/108137270/a9ab1f01.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Relax, Explore, Repeat: Coddiwomple, Ultimate Holiday Destination in Leyburn Leyburn - Kitchen - Washer - Outdoor space - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-28&endDate=2025-11-29&selected=108137270&PinnedHotelID=108137270&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88670000/88661900/88661858/e44760b0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 17th Century Traditional Yorkshire Stone Barn Bedale - Kitchen - Washer - Outdoor space - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-28&endDate=2025-11-29&selected=88661858&PinnedHotelID=88661858&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![High chair](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32930000/32920800/32920701/d5f1f40e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3 bedroom accommodation in Melmerby, near Coverdale Melmerby, near Coverdale - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-28&endDate=2025-11-29&selected=32920701&PinnedHotelID=32920701&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119090000/119080400/119080322/d0ace896.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 4 bedroom accommodation in Thornton Watlass, near Masham Thornton Watlass, near Masham - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-28&endDate=2025-11-29&selected=119080322&PinnedHotelID=119080322&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106930000/106926800/106926793/f93da2b2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Comfortable property all on one level in a pretty village location.

Very peaceful - loved having no neighbours next door! This was our second visit and we would definitely stay again when we are next in this area. Liz, the owner, was very friendly and helpful. ##### Lin C. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 6 May 2025 #### Perfect for us There were two of us staying at Badger’s Holt so we had plenty of room although with two bathrooms and a downstairs loo it is perfect for larger groups too. The property was clean, comfortable and well maintained and well equipped too. It’s in a great location for walks from the door and 5 minutes walk into town for visits to pubs, restaurants and, of course, breweries. Masham is lovely and part of its charm means there is a shortage of off road parking in the centre so having parking space at the property was a real bonus. Our hosts Colin and Liz were very friendly and welcoming and provided a lovely selection of goodies and essentials that were much appreciated. We may not be able to revisit this year but we definitely want to return.

Liz and Colin so welcoming we will definitely rebook and visit lovely Masham next year ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ##### Janet C. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trevor B. 29 Jun 2025 #### Great location for exploring the Dales The property was very well equipped and in excellent condition. Masham was within easy walking distance with a surprising number of places to eat and drink, including two breweries, as well as 2 butchers a greengrocer and bakers. Wensleydale, Wharfedale and Swaledale are within easy driving distance. ##### Trevor B.

After a warm welcome - thank you for the gift basket! - we had the pleasure to enjoy a week's stay in a really perfect house in Masham. Everything was available and in perfect working condition. Masham is a splendid starting point for trips due to its location. Our hosts -Liz and Colin- were very pleasant and always willing tot help. ##### Ron I.

The cottage is very, very well equipped - we wanted for nothing, and really comfy. Only a 10 minute walk to village centre with plenty of good places to eat and drink. It's a fantastic base to explore surrounding towns and countryside, lots of information leaflets provided if you don't know the area. Wonderful holiday - even the unpredictable weather behaved!
