    Breakfast was enjoyable, served by very friendly staff. We were able to walk down to the coast to see spectacular views. We thought the hotel was expensive for the small room shrouded in scaffolding and occasional workman walking past.

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    The breakfast was excellent and staff very accommodating Room was extremely small. Needed a whole room fan not a personal fan. Mold on the bathroom ceiling that caused allergies to kick in. Getting luggage from the parking lot to the hotel was difficult.

    See above very poor... Would not stay again. Even at 6.30 had run out steak

  • Engine customer May 2025

    Great location, large car park, lovely old building, friendly staff, lovely breakfast. We couldn’t open the window so the room felt stuffy (grateful for the fan provided though). We could hear the music playing on the bar below.

    Easy to find , lots of parking Staff friendly Unfortunately on arrival they weren't expecting us so bedroom wasn't ready , extra bed not made (we were shown where sheets were to make it ourselves) no towels etc in room. Booked a family room , tiny! Once sofa bed was made we couldn't even walk around bedroom and had to squeeze past to get to bathroom. Bathroom mouldy and no ventilation. Strange collection of books to borrow on bedroom shelves. Food was nice but expensive, cheapest house wine 24 pound a bottle.

    When I arrived for dinner at 8.30pm after booking for 7.30, the kitchen was closed but they served me, not only a main but a dessert as well. Made up, love the place and would recommend it. In a perfect position for walking the coastal path. That I couldn't stay longer

    Small bedroom size, room servicing done once in 3 days only, not good organisation, toilet seat broken, WiFi wasn't working well, strange mechanism to order breakfast (which you needed to fill in the night before), no 24/7 reception,

    Excellent stay, friendly and helpful staff, really good value and a perfect location to explore the stunning beaches and views around the area. The food was really good, choice and value for money. We would definitely recommend the Badger, and intend to stay again in the future. All good, thank you to Bernie and his team....
