About this property

Country Hideaways | Badger's Holt | Masham

On the southern fringes of this ancient market town the Victorian terraces give way to 20th century detached homes in a peaceful setting with spacious gardens alongside Thorpe Road. Here on the very edge of the town stands Badger Garth and within its private grounds the recent development of Badgers Holt with a traditional exterior but built to very modern standards including all the refinements and benefits of modern design and technology.

Entry is to a very spacious fitted kitchen with a central island unit and an adjacent, convenient toilet with washbasin and external access to the rear patio. Off the kitchen through double doors is a large lounge/dining room which also has an external entry from the parking area. From the kitchen a stairway rises to a landing serving two double bedrooms one with a king-size bed and an en-suite shower room with washbasin and toilet, the other with a double bed, also a twin room and a shared bathroom with bath, showerhead, washbasin and toilet. All the upstairs rooms have skylights, a treat to watch the night stars and the en-suite and twin rooms also have windows.

To the side of the house is a gravel parking area and small lawned area, to the rear a private flagged patio which overlooks trees and open meadow towards Swinney Beck.

A modern, stylish cottage, purpose built for the holidaymaker and designed on modern family life. Lots of living space and light with innovative contemporary design and an attention to detail enhanced throughout by atmospheric lighting effects. Built with you in mind.

Great location for exploring the Dales

The property was very well equipped and in excellent condition. Masham was within easy walking distance with a surprising number of places to eat and drink, including two breweries, as well as 2 butchers a greengrocer and bakers. Wensleydale, Wharfedale and Swaledale are within easy driving distance.

A week away in Masham

A warm bath of sheer perfection

Our stay at Badger's Holt meant a new highlight in our holidays to the UK and Scotland. After a warm welcome - thank you for the gift basket! - we had the pleasure to enjoy a week's stay in a really perfect house in Masham. Everything was available and in perfect working condition. Masham is a splendid starting point for trips due to its location. Our hosts -Liz and Colin- were very pleasant and always willing tot help.

Fabulous cottage

Hosts Colin and Liz were very welcoming, providing a generous welcome pack. The cottage is very, very well equipped - we wanted for nothing, and really comfy. Only a 10 minute walk to village centre with plenty of good places to eat and drink. It's a fantastic base to explore surrounding towns and countryside, lots of information leaflets provided if you don't know the area. Wonderful holiday - even the unpredictable weather behaved!

Perfect for us

There were two of us staying at Badger’s Holt so we had plenty of room although with two bathrooms and a downstairs loo it is perfect for larger groups too. The property was clean, comfortable and well maintained and well equipped too. It’s in a great location for walks from the door and 5 minutes walk into town for visits to pubs, restaurants and, of course, breweries. Masham is lovely and part of its charm means there is a shortage of off road parking in the centre so having parking space at the property was a real bonus. Our hosts Colin and Liz were very friendly and welcoming and provided a lovely selection of goodies and essentials that were much appreciated. We may not be able to revisit this year but we definitely want to return.
