Badgers Sett, Winston

A peaceful rural retreat in the Durham countryside, Badgers Sett is the perfect escape for couples looking for seclusion, nature and relaxation. Set on a quiet working farm near Winston and Staindrop and only a short drive from Barnard Castle, this charming single storey lodge blends rustic charm with cosy modern comforts.

Inside, the open plan studio layout creates a warm and welcoming space to unwind. You can snuggle up on the sofa by the gas stove-effect fire and enjoy a quiet evening with the Smart TV, or prepare simple meals in the equipped kitchen, complete with hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, air fryer and even a pizza cooker for cosy nights in. After exploring the countryside, refresh in the luxurious waterfall walk-in shower, before sinking into the comfortable king-size bed for a relaxing night in true peace and quiet.

Step outside to your own private outdoor space overlooking rolling fields and woodland, where wildlife is everywhere. The star of the show is your wood-fired hot tub, which is perfect for relaxing under the dark, starry skies that this peaceful area is known for. With decking, outdoor furniture and space for alfresco dining, you can truly make the most of your countryside surroundings. When you don't feel like cooking, you'll find excellent local pubs, charming tea rooms and farm-to-table dining options just a short drive away.
