Location description
Situated in a secluded valley, The Badger Sett is one of just a handful of houses that make up the hamlet of Newlands. The lovely Lakeland village of Hesket Newmarket, with its famous co-operatively owned pub and micro brewery, The Old Crown, is just a one mile stroll down a peaceful country lane. The remote Caldbeck Fells are on the doorstep and provide fantastic opportunities for walking and mountain biking and The Caldew and Caldbeck Rivers which run through our valley are excellent for kayaking. The classic peaks of Blencathra and Helvellyn are both close by and provide some of the best walking and scrambling routes in the UK. If you prefer more hustle and bustle the popular town of Keswick is a 25 minute drive away whilst historic Hutton-in-the-Forest with its famous horse trials is just around the corner. For long distance walkers The Cumbria Way passes through our valley and for road cyclists The Reivers Route (known as the Return CTC) goes right past the bottom of our drive!

Guestbook
Fabulous holiday cottage
I cannot praise the property and the owners highly enough for ensuring that our stay at The Badger Sett was a memorable one.
Many times in life you read descriptions and see photographs that overstate, with The Badger Sett it was the opposite. The cottage is incredibly spacious, decorated and finished to a very high standard, and has all the mod cons without them feeling out of place in the Lake District. To use hotel terminology, this is a 5 star property. The two main bedrooms especially are much bigger than the photos above would suggest. And the second bathroom contains a wonderful shower.
The cottage was imaculately clean on arrival with helpful instructions provided. The communication from the owners before, during and after booking was excellent and any questions we had were answered instantly.
There were 4 of us during our visit, two adults and two young children, but the property would cater for various groups and would comfortably accomodate up to 6 adults.
The location is just outside the lovely (small) village of Hesket Newmarket (less than a mile walk) with its "must visit" The Old Crown pub, where they brew their own real ales. Whilst tucked away in the North East corner of The Lake District, Keswick was a pleasant 30 minute drive away, Carlisle just over 20 minutes and Penrith approximately 15 minutes.
For all the reasons above and more we will be booking again in the near future, and I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending The Badger Sett as a lovely holiday location.

Brilliant luxury, in a truly beautiful and quiet setting!
The Badger's Sett has everything you could want from a luxury holiday home, and a little bit more! The house is beautifully furnished in a modern meets traditional way and makes the most of the stunning views across the fells. A short walk (15 mins) to the local village gets you to one of the quaintest pubs I've ever come across, with home-brewed ales and traditional pub food. The village also has a little shop, which seems to stock things you would never have expected! All in all, it provided a wonderful place to stay for a quiet retreat - a beautiful location, a lovely house (felt like home after only three days!), and beds and a shower to die for! Thoroughly recommended!!
A beautiful cottage, in a stunning location
We have returned from a fabulous break at Badger Sett. There were four adults, one baby and a toddler. The cottage catered perfectly for our needs. It is finished and to a excellent standard, with beautifully decorated and furnished bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas. The mix of contemporary design and soft furnishing provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The cottage is set in a private and secure garden ideal for playing, relaxing and outdoor eating. The cottage is surounded by stunning views and within a short and pretty walk to the village, with friendly locals, a nice pub, tea shop and park. Some great walks were enjoyed from this village and we look forward to our next visit.
