Loved every minute staying at Badgers Drift. The location was within easy reach of both the coast and the moors. The cottage had everything you required and a big field to walk the dog. The owners made us feel welcome and supplied a lovely welcome pack. I would definitely recommend Badgers Drift to family and friends.

Superb cottage , 2nd time staying at Badgers Drift , ideally placed for South and North Cornwall days out .Cottage is very well equipped and set in owners lovely grounds , who are on hand if needed.Perfect place to relax.
Beautifully presented property, with many lovely touches, cream tea, shampoo, shower Gel, everything was thought of. Wonderful views and a dog walking field, just perfect, definitely recommend and will visit again.
We have just had a lovely stay at Badgers drift. The hosts Kev and Sue were very helpful. The cottage is in a great location , with just a 40 minute drive to the south and north cornwall coasts. The cottage has everything you need and was of a very high standard and very clean. It's set in a lovely large garden with fantastic views. There is also an adjoining field, so great for walking our elderly dog. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

We had a wonderful week here from 12/9 to 19/9/20 enjoying excellent weather. The cottage is located in the owners extensive and beautifully kept gardens with a South facing aspect making an evening drink outside a delight. Inside is comfortable and spacious and the kitchen is fully equipped and appears to have been recently fitted. There are as many utensils and items of crockery and glassware as we have at home, a spacious fridge freezer is included and microwave, toaster etc. The bedroom is huge with a comfy king sized bed, as you are deep in countryside there is a wonderful view from all the windows.
We greatly enjoyed our visit and will return if we come this way again.

Great cottage in the perfect location for visiting many Of the beautiful villages and beaches in Cornwall.
The cottage was well equipped, spacious and had great views over the fields. Stanley, the dog, loved roaming around the large garden, and the field which was at the back of the property.
We will definitely be returning. Thank you to the owners for being so welcoming.

The cottage is well equipped, and spacious and comfy. The cream tea was a nice touch. Just a few items to point out - the fridge is extremely noisy, and its the first cottage that we have been too that didn't have a cafetiere which was most disappointing. Badgers Drift is an ideal touring base for visiting a large number of National Trust properties. We highly recommend visiting Trelissick House, Lanhydrock, Cotehele, and Trerice. All in all, it was a most enjoyable week, and even the weather was good.

We were taken by surprise when we entered this cottage. The size, the space and the views are even better than what you see online. The cottage was well equipped and immaculately clean. Apart from the weather this cottage provided us with the perfect holiday. It was a pleasure to come back to after a day out exploring and neither my husband nor myself have slept so well in a long long time. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone.
