Water Mill Vacations Badgers Oak

We absolutely loved the lodge. It was in a quiet area with no road noise. It was clean and well presented. It had all of the features advertised and more. The owners were really nice and polite, even with my 11pm phone call. We would 100% be staying here again.

Cleaning and comfort

Tv is not working

We've stayed in one of the cabins before, so knew that the location was set in peaceful countryside. So nice to be next to the water mill with it's cafe and pretty grounds, plus pleasant walks in the woods by the stream. The cabin was comfortable, spacious and we really liked the large covered balcony facing the woods. We enjoyed the welcoming hospitality at the mill cafe - great cream teas - and had a fun afternoon playing on the crazy golf course. Although the cabins are 'in the middle of nowhere' it is a short drive to Freshwater and Totland for groceries, takeaways and beaches.

Unfortunately the oven was broken & the kitchen a little lacking in cleaning supplies, but this was sorted out satisfactorily within hours and did not affect our stay. Nothing to do with the cabin, but we were disappointed to find that the ban for dogs on beaches extends until September 30th, so we were unable to get onto the beaches we wanted to visit during our short stay.

Location , size of property.

Oven not working and no action taken to remedy for duration of holiday . Bedroom window didn't close properly or lock , upstairs bathroom window didn't open for additional ventilation , window wouldn't open and we didn't want to force it . I had to fix shower cubicle door as it had come off its hinges . Ground floor toilet seat was broken . Shower rail in upstairs bathroom came off , had to be put back in most showers . Outside light by front door not working , curtains didn't meet at the top of all the windows and due to height of windows it was not possible to do anything about this letting light in early into childrens room. I felt that for the money paid this was unacceptable.

5 Stars – A Perfect Getaway! We had the most amazing stay at Badgers oak! From the moment we arrived, We felt at home. The property was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. The location was ideal—close to local attractions but still peaceful and quiet. The little personal touches, like the welcome basket really made the stay extra special. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable, stress-free holiday!

Really nit picking but the 'what's going on page' in the welcome book was out of date by a few years and the WiFi details that were emailed were incorrect (but were correct in the welcome book.)

The facilities are good. The property itself is good, specious and has positive atmosphere.

The location good but the only thing is coming off from the opposite road may cause a bit risky.

Lovely lodge - comfy beds. Everything you need.

In the parking area there was loads of scrap/junk that wasn’t nice to look at - it ruined the picturesque vibe!

There were several problems with this property, 1. Light bulb missing from kitchen light 2. Half a toilet roll for both bathrooms 3. Window in front bedroom wouldnt open (temp 28 deg ) 4. Rubber seal on upstairs window hanging off. 5. Rubber seal on shower screen hanging off. 6.No cleaning materials at all not even a dust pan and brush. 7. Downstairs bathroom tap sprays every where as does the toilet flush 8. Television show it needs updating on screen 9. Fridge door sticks and then the light doesnt always come on (switch stuck with muck where it hasnt been cleaned ) and also smells through lack of cleaning .10. Advertised that we could visit a working water mill with childrens play area but all closed. 11. Welcome book very much out of date as it showing activities for 2022/3 and the local pubs and restaurant phone numbers out of date and wrong. 12. Wi fi password incorrect in the welcome book aswell. 13. Clothes airer broken and leans to one side. All of these thing detracted from us having as nice a stay as we were hoping for . I hope this message gets read and the next people that stay in Badgers Mount have a better stay. Yours Kevin Hatcher

Nice location with roaming peacocks. Lovely cottage.
