"We didn't stay even for the first night."
We re-packed the car and left. This property is not as advertised. The level of finish is poor inside and out. The decking was tired and worn. The bathroom and toilet floors are carpeted - even around the toilet itself! (I know!) The oven shelf had some old, baked-on food on it. There was an usual smell throughout the property. I would not recommend it to anyone.
Thank you for your feedback. The comments and scores you have given us are very out of character for the usual reviews we receive. We are sorry that you didnt stay at the property and left.
We want all our customers to have an excellent stay and are on hand to be able to help with any concerns. Its very hard for us to help and resolve any issues when you have left the property and we do ask that customers allow us the chance to do this.
The Sykes website is an accurate listing for 16 Badgers Retreat including the write up, photos and customer comments.
We do have carpet in the bathrooms and this is shown on the photos. Its a personal preference for bathroom flooring and we can assure you that this is cleaned on changeover.
We have had no complaints before about the oven or any smells and would have been able to check and rectify this if needed, had we known before you left
Once again, thank you for your comments

"Beautiful holiday park and lodge- away from the hustle and bustle of towns but not too far away for you to venture into."
When we arrived the lodge it was spotlessly clean and warm. It had everything you needed apart from no tea/coffee but that was soon rectified by a nip to the shop.
The welcome book states the thermostat is in the hallway but I think the owners must have updated the boiler as I noticed a hive thermostat next to the sofa. We were unable to change the temperature of the lodge as it was pin protected. It was lovely and snug at night but by morning it was a little chilly- nothing a cup of tea couldn’t sort. The hot tub at the back of the lodge was an added bonus after walking and exploring all day.
Thank you for your kind comments, tea and coffee are normally available I’ll speak with cleaners. I’ve had a new boiler and moved the thermostat so apologies for your confusion.

"Thos is the second time we have stayed at badgers retreat."
Number 6 and now number 16. This was our worst stay.
The owner was really friendly and helpful, truly good natured. A number of cleanliness issues with the oven, microwave and crockery let it down. A number or flies were in and around the property which also let it down. Think this maybe due to some stagnant or dirty water issues around the outside of the property.
The badgers retreat staff very unfriendly. Not even a good morning until prompted. Really poor impression given off by the site staff which let's the site down.
Thanks for your constructive comments, as I’m next door I wish you had brought these issues to my attention so I could have rectified them.
Really surprised at these comments as we never had anything like this before. Having spoke to you several times I thought you may have notified me of your concerns.

"The checkout times should also be specified or written down within the actual pack/handbook that you receive when you enter the property."
We saw the owner who resides to the log cabin next to where we rented and he come round cleaning the jacuzzi which put us under pressure.
We did not know until an hour had passed that we should have checked out at 10:00, this was an oversight and the owner, whilst courteous said that we should have checked the Sykes website.
In order to ensure that everybody knows what the checkout time is, I would recommend that this is included within the handbook so that the welcome isnt outstayed; as I say we felt under pressure to leave but that was because we werent aware of the checkout time, so please take this on board, at a cost of circa £500 for 2 nights I do feel the communication could have been better and this slightly dampened our experience.
Thank you for leaving feedback, the checkout time for Badgers retreat is clearly specified in the key collection details that are sent out before your stay, the 10AM departure gives us plenty of time to clean the property and hot tub ready for the next check in at 3PM, and falls in line with all Sykes properties.
Going forward this information will also be available in the property incase guests miss this information in the key collection email.

"Lodge is in a lovely location, inside offers a spacious layout including a large couch, sky TV, dining table and fully kitted out kitchen."
Bathroom & ensuite are lovely along with the bedroom (also has a TV). Outside has plenty of decking area with a 4 person seating area and private hottub. Lodge was fully cleaned and ready for us, detailed information was included in a folder within the lodge.
However, had difficulty when arriving as barrier would not open. Had to ring someone to help us (told us to walk up to the lodge to get the barrier key). Also the hottub was not to a clean standard, hairs, flies and debris floating around - along with a strange smell and discoloured water. Kitchen provided everything needed, however random bits and pieces obviously left over by previous guests. In the bathroom the main shower head wasn’t in the best condition (spraying out the back) and in the en suite there was a loud squeaking sound when using the shower.

"Very nice lodge well presented and good facilities."
Very clean and tidy on arrival. Nice location and friendly helpful locals. A very quiet peaceful place ideal for relaxing and close to Richmond.
The only negatives the arrival instructions were a tad vague and struggled to enter the site as the gates were closed. No direct contact number and no lodge number on the address in email this would be helpful for future if added. WiFi should really be free with these kind of rates and the paid WiFi seemed to switch off over night.
