“Lovely cottage, spacious, clean in beautifully quiet location.”

Jem & Sarah were welcoming, attentive but unobtrusive. We loved our stay & plan to return. Would thoroughly recommend Badger Cottage.

Trevor September 2024

“Delightful cottage, beautifully looked after by Sarah.”

...she provided for all our needs... the welcome ' tray' was unexpected ! Towels were offered to be changed which was good.... unfortunately the weather was not so kind and as we didnt bring walking boots etc... we were unable to follow the trails.. disappointed! I would have liked to sit outside in the sunshine but due to the time of year; the trees produced shade.... all in all... a lovely comfortable 11 day stay... thank you Sarah and Jem!!

Thank you for the feedback. It was lovely to meet you and glad you had a comfortable stay.. Property Owner
James August 2024

“Spent a week at Badger cottage with our 2 young sons.”

6 and 3. The boys loved the cottage and the surrounding area. They loved playing in the playground/field and in the playroom with some of the other children staying in the other holiday homes. They also loved collecting the eggs from the chickens. The cottage was excellent and was really a home from home. Sarah and Jem were excellent hosts, they were available on the farm and via phone when we had a problem with the heating they sorted it out right away, Sarah even started a fire for us. Will definitely be returning.

- James, August 2024

Thank you for coming to stay with us, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again sometime. Thank you for the lovely feedback. Property Owner
John June 2024

“Badger Cottage is one of four holiday lets on this farm.”

Downstairs is full of character and is well equipped and does not disappoint. Upstairs however had a number of issues for us, namely lack of space and in need of updating, especially the bathroom. It would be fairer to say the cottage being more suitable for a family of four not four adults, us "OLDS" would not be able to manage the "adult" bunks. The main bedroom only had a double bed which we were not comfortable in and a ceiling light positioned to guarantee you kept head butting it. Sarah & Jem are lovely people, very friendly and helpful. Good local pubs/restaurants are in short supply but you should seek out Shipwrights Arms - Helford and Pandora's Mylor Bridge, both waterside settings.

Helen May 2024

“A wonderful cottage, we cannot find fault with it.”

Clean, well maintained and all the facilities we expected. From our initial arrival we felt we were at home. The cottage was perfect for a quiet rural holiday. Wandering around the orchard, the woodland walk and the nearby National Trust walk to the Creek we enjoyed the company of the local wildlife. We have to mention the warm reception and care from Sarah .

- Helen, May 2024

A lovely review - thank you very much. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in badger Cottage. Property Owner

Wendy August 2023

“My family had a lovely stay at Badger Cottage.”

The cottage itself was a bit bigger than we expected, clean and cosy. The kitchen was well equipped. The location was green and peaceful, the cottage also has its own enclosed garden. The owners, Sarah and Jem, were welcoming and friendly. We spent the week mostly swimming and surfing at some spectacular sites nearby like Sennen Cove, Nanjizal Beach, Kynance Cove and Church Cove. We also visited Lands End, Lizard Point and the Eden Project. There is loads more we'd like to do on a return visit.

Brian August 2023

“My family and I stayed for 1 week in August 23.”

Prior to our visit, the comms was excellent with regular emails and directions provided which were accurate and clear. When we arrived there was a lovely welcome package with biscuits and drinks etc. Nice touch. The property itself was amazing. Clean comfortable and warm. Everything was provided for us including cuttlery, tea, coffee, cleaning equipment etc. Ample plates, bin bags etc so no need to bring your own. The location is perfect for a peaceful getaway with or without children. The outside space is huge with an apple orchard practically in your back garden. Beautiful scenic private woodland walk which starts at the cottage. We saw an owl and squirrels. Beaches, shops, attractions are located within 20 mins from the cottage. Beware of the winding country lanes, very tight and narrow. The owners are lovely, friendly and accomodating. You couldnt ask for better hosts to be honest. We will definately be returning and staying at Badger Cottage whether it be in the spring, summer autumn or winter.

- Brian, August 2023

It was lovely to meet you and we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the lovely compliments and feed back. We look forward to meeting you again. Property Owner

The location is peaceful and away from it all, yet everything you might want to visit is near at hand. We noticed that children really enjoyed the play equipment and the chickens.

Irene April 2023

“A very well-equipped cottage in a fabulous remote location.”

We loved the woodland walk from the house and the nearby National Trust walk to the Quay. The cottage was very comfortable and warm, added bonus was the children's playroom and the playground. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring this part of Cornwall.

Stephen November 2022

“We had a wonderful stay in Badger Cottage.”

It is extremely comfortable and cosy with all the mod cons, and the location is so idyllic and peaceful. Big thanks to Sarah and Jem, who are extremely hospitable. Don't miss a stroll through Tremayne Woods, which is just a short walk away from the farm. And beautiful beaches, such as Gunwalloe and Poldhu Cove, are not far away. This was our second stay at Mudgeon Vean. We were in Swift Cottage, which is also very attractive, a couple of years ago. We will definitely be back!

- Stephen, November 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your second visit and the location. We look forward to meeting you again in the future. Property Owner
Andrea August 2022

“Such a warm welcome from the host when we arrived.”

A tray of goodies had been left for us to enjoy along with a lovely vase of flowers. My children loved the farm, with a play area and games room. They also got the chance to collect eggs, which we enjoyed at breakfast. The place was lovely and clean, the kitchen was great with everything you needed. Great base for exploring.

“We love going to Badger Cottage.”

It's well equipped and comfortable, there's lots of outside space including a wood to explore, and Sarah and Jem are lovely and welcoming. It's also in a great place for the a variety of beaches as well as the Helford River. There would be mutiny in our house if we didn't go back every year.

“We would highly recommend Badger Cottage for a holiday in Cornwall, it is set in a very peaceful farm location with countryside all around.”

“Ten out of ten for Badger Cottage .”

We loved the large well known equipped kitchen and comfy sofas in the lounge. A warm welcome from Sarah and set deep in lovely countryside, this cottage is one of the best we’ve stayed in, having holidayed with Sykes many times.

Gareth June 2018

“I didn't actually book it via Sykes in the first place, it was Owners Direct originally.”

All very good though... Badger Cottage at Mudgeon Vean is a great place to stay. Ideal for families with little children it is a farm with a proper playground with swings and adventure climbing frame, there are animals (Chickens, Ducks & Rabbits) and acres of space to play in. There is a nature trail and also a games room with all sorts of toys and a full-sized ping pong table should the weather turn wet. The cottage itself is a well appointed two bedroom, one double one full-sized bunk bed and shower room upstairs with a large open plan living room reception room. The reception room features two sofas (one is a sofa-bed) and an easy chair with Flat-screen TV, DVD player and iPhone charger/Speaker leading on to the kitchen dining room. The kitchen has a fitted suite with modern appliances (fan oven, dishwasher, ceramic hob, washing machine and fridge freezer). Outside there is a private garden with a picnic table and a granite built barbeque. The only downside of this property is it is a long way from the nearest village shop down twisty Cornish lanes so a car is essential. It is a great base to strike out from and very well set up for families. The owners Sarah and Jem couldn't be friendlier and went out of their way to help us and made our stay a real treat. 10/10

About the location

MAWGAN-IN-MENEAGE

Helston lies at the western gateway to the Lizard Peninsula, a large area of downland fringed by a beautiful and spectacular coastline. Helston is a pleasant busy market town famous for its Flora Day Festival and the many stories and legends about the "Furry Dance" are told in the fascinating Helston Folk Museum. Nearby is the Poldark Mine, one of the best underground experiences in the south west and which tells of the widespread mining heritage of this area. Nestled in a tranquil setting is the National Seal Sanctuary on the Helford River, where there is plenty of entertainment watching seals play and feed. If it is thrill rides that excites you, then Flambards theme park will keep you amused all day and also has excellent living history experiences. Further afield is the harbour town of Falmouth to the east and Land's End to the west. Helston is a wonderful holiday destination offering plenty of attractions for the whole family.
