“Lodge has everything you could ask for in an ideal location.”

Very quite and peaceful site, ideal for rest and relaxation The Hot tub was an added bonus Owner could not be more helpful and is on hand for any queries. We would gladly recommend this lodge but would think twice about returning because for the same period next year there is a 35% price increase

Would highly recommend.

Mrs Booth June 2021

“Stayed here for 3 nights in June.”

First impressions was that the Lodge was very clean light and spacious for 2 people. It’s well equipped and comfortable. The hot tub was a bonus after a long day out walking. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.

Miss Barnett May 2021

“Had a brilliant week, Such a beautiful, clean stag lodge.”

Had everything we needed for our stay. The added extras eg. Netflix was a bonus as it was perfect for the evenings when we wanted to settle down. The hot tub was perfect for after a long day. The bed was very comfortable, and the Nest heating was amazing to keep it very warm! We would recommend going to Aysgarth Falls which is a beautiful walk. Local shops are not too far away, so it is perfect for you to do some shopping! We visited Richmond Castle which was about 15 minutes away, would recommend a walk round there. We also travelled into Seaton Carew so we could visit the beach (about 1hr drive away, and also York (50 minute drive) which were good days out would recommend! Would definitely recommend to friends and family for a little getaway!

Miss Richardson April 2021

“Had the nicest stay at Stag Lodge.”

Badger’s Retreat is a lovely park & is in a really beautiful location. The lodge was nice and modern and had everything we needed- all the kitchen essentials, bath towels and even a smart TV. We also met the owner who was lovely & very friendly! Would definitely recommend and will hopefully be back some time!

“It was absolutely amazing and I hope to spread the word and return again”

Mrs Blundell August 2020

“Only a minor thing.”

When sending the travel instructions you include Badgers Retreat Holiday Park and Junction 52 (Catterick) of the A1. It took us quite a while to find it. Would thoroughly recommend staying here, so lovely and peaceful so close to what Swaledale and Wenslydale have to offer. The relaxing hot tub was great to unwind in every evening.

- Mrs Blundell, August 2020
Mrs Hackney August 2020

“Gorgeous Lodge!”

Beautifully decorated, and very clean. Hot-tub a great touch, especially after a long walk in the Yorkshire Dales. The owner Gary was really quick to answer any questions we had. Would thoroughly recommend this Lodge! Fiona and Phil, August 2020.

Mrs Denton July 2020

“Lovely peaceful surroundings, just what we ordered.”

Hot tub was lovely. Only drawback to the lodge was there was no clothes horse for you to dry your wet clothes otherwise facilities were good.

- Mrs Denton, July 2020
Mr Brannan January 2020

“We had a lovely break, the site was small, well maintained and quiet, just what we wanted for a relaxing break.”

The lodge also met all our expectations, the owner was very friendly and helpful and resolved a little problem we had very quickly. Enjoyed the hot tub, looking forward to coming back.

Miss Layburn December 2019

“A beautiful lodge made perfect by the hot tub and situated in a beautiful area”

- Miss Layburn, December 2019
Mr Knight December 2019

“We would like to make two points: 1.”

Although WiFi is available as stated its pretty poor dropping out regularly. Whilst this may not deter anyone wanting to escape the rat race for a quiet break it was frustrating for us as we were unable to Skype/Face-time with our Grandchildren on Christmas Day. 2. We appreciate that we're used to a super king bed at home and the one in the lodge was a double but it had on it a duvet which was a little too small even for that size of bed.

- Mr Knight, December 2019
Miss Moore November 2019

“Lovely little cottage; had some lovely days out in Richmond & the little village!”

Cottage was clean, tidy and comfortable. Hot tub was a lovely treat after a day exploring, pity the weather wasn’t amazing for us but cottage itself was. Minor hiccup was the tiny tiny spiders on the ceiling of the main bathroom, stayed there the whole weekend :( Other than that it was great, handy brochures, information and directions for adventures to go out and about! Also, thanks for helping with the set up of flowers Gary! Such a lovely surprise off my boyfriend & so kind of you to help set it up! :)

- Miss Moore, November 2019
Mrs Kirtley October 2019

“Absolutely lovely Lodge, perfect place to go if you want to relax, the lodge ...”

Absolutely lovely Lodge, perfect place to go if you want to relax, the lodge itself has everything you will need, and is very clean and decorated beautifully, the hot tub is a bonus, we had lovely days out in Richmond as it is only 10 minutes away by car

- Mrs Kirtley, October 2019
Mrs Wright September 2019

“The Stag was very clean got everything you needed nice quiet site we were very comfortable, loved the hot tub just a shame the weather was not kind to us but we did manage to visit a few places on our list .”

Would just say Gary is a lovely man and he has a fish & chip shop In Middleham & the haddock was very tasty

- Mrs Wright, September 2019
Miss Raschi August 2019

“Absolutely gorgeous lodge, decorated to a really high standard.”

Loved the stag theme throughout. Really clean and tidy, bed was lovely and comfy too. Everything you need is there for cooking and all kitchen utensils, cutlery, pots and pans. Hot tub cleaned everyday and maintained well. Nice and comfy furniture on the decking and beautiful views to sit looking at while relaxing. The site is looked after well and all the gardens and grass areas are well kept and maintained Would definitely recommend and would also go back for another break.

- Miss Raschi, August 2019
Miss Banks August 2019

“Had a fantastic week at this lodge.”

The lodge itself was beautiful, had everything you needed provided and the hot tub was perfect. Badgers retreat, where it is located, is well maintained and really friendly as well as being a quiet site, which we wanted. The local pub is about 15 minutes walk away and is a brilliant friendly village Samuel Smith pub. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday which is located within 10 miles of all the attractions of Richmond and the Yorkshire Dales then this is an excellent choice.

- Miss Banks, August 2019
Miss Hanner July 2019

“Absolutely beautiful and tranquil lodge in a stunning retreat.”

Perfect for a peaceful holiday.

- Miss Hanner, July 2019
Mr Cockcroft June 2019

“Very clean, only thing I could say is it could be perceived quite misleading for somebody who was going for a quiet weekend away with their laptop to do work as such.”

I found that the WiFi wasn’t great and the TV oftenly cut off to no signal. Apart from the internet issues we really enjoyed our stay.

- Mr Cockcroft, June 2019

Thank you for your constructive comments. I would just like to point out that the internet at Badgers retreat is supplied by the site and not myself. Unfortunately the signal can be weak depending on site usage, I pay a subscription for my guests to be able to log on free of charge. As for the tv it is a brand new Samsung of which we have had no customer feedback relating to the tv losing its signal it may have gone into Eco mode. Hope this helps to resolve your issues regarding your stay with us. Property Owner

About the location

RICHMOND

Barnard Castle 10 miles; Leyburn 12 miles.

Situated at the entrance to Swaledale, the ancient market town of Richmond stands on a prominent hilltop site to the north of the River Swale. Its cobbled streets and narrow alleys or 'wynds' enshrine over nine centuries of busy history and unique character. The town grew up around its castle, a Norman fortress dating back to 1071, famously situated high above the river - indeed the name Richmond is derived from 'Riche-mont' meaning 'strong hill'. Today there are wonderful walks to be enjoyed such as the Castle Walk - a dramatic terrace walk beneath the castle walls - or alternatively walk alongside the River Swale where there are parks, safe paddling areas and small waterfalls to enjoy. Within the town, narrow streets and alleys radiate from the cobbled Market Place (which has a weekly market and monthly farmers’ market) and there are numerous shops, pubs and restaurants to enjoy. The town flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries and the resulting elegant Georgian architecture lines many of the old streets. The Georgian Theatre is one of the oldest surviving theatres in the country with visitors enjoying its regular productions all year round.
