Badgers Burrow

I live with my wife Alex, in the bungalow of Appletree Hill. Badgers Burrow, Hedgehog Lodge Retreat and Meerkat Manor B&B are my passion and business, so the well being and care of my guests is paramount. My aspiration for you, is that your stay with us, is everything you wish for and more. So where possible I will be available, if needed during the day for any assistance or questions and in an emergency during the night. Close enough if you need me, but far enough for your privacy ..... Appletree Hill Retreat is a small holding and we have numerous animals, of which majority are rescues. We have a donkey, 4 sheep, 2 goats, 12 hens, 2x cockerels, 4 Guinea Fowl, 4 cats & 3 dogs all are our pets & family, but keep us very busy. A full deep clean will take place between guests leaving and the next staying, on all hard surfaces, and frequently touched surfaces. ALL linen will be washed in Anti~bacteria washing power and at the highest temperature possible. The accommodation is a private area, with self check in, all food is delivered to the accommodation, all linen provided. I look forward to welcoming you to our home & sanctuary .... Much Love x
