The Badger Sett

Tucked away amongst seven acres of woodland on a historic working farm in the Lincolnshire Wolds, The Badger Sett offers a wonderfully peaceful off-grid escape where luxury and nature go hand in hand. Hidden amongst the trees at Sycamore and Stars, this charming shepherd’s hut invites you to slow down, switch off and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of the countryside.

The wow factor here is undoubtedly the setting. Surrounded by woodland, open farmland and abundant wildlife, The Badger Sett feels delightfully secluded, yet every detail has been carefully considered to ensure a comfortable stay. Spend your days wandering through ancient woodland trails, spotting deer and birds amongst the trees or simply sitting outside with a morning coffee as the sounds of nature provide the soundtrack to your stay. In the evening, sink into your own private wood-fired Ofuro hot tub, hidden amongst twinkling lights beneath the trees, before gathering around the fire pit under a canopy of stars.

Inside, the shepherd’s hut perfectly blends rustic charm with modern comfort. Lovingly crafted using reclaimed materials from the farm, the interiors are full of character and warmth, creating a cosy retreat that feels both unique and welcoming. The king size bed promises restful nights, while central heating and a log burner ensure year-round comfort no matter the season.

The thoughtfully designed kitchenette is equipped with a fridge, two-ring gas stove and all the utensils you’ll need for preparing simple meals. Guests are welcomed with tea, coffee and a hamper of locally produced treats, while locally sourced breakfast packs featuring farm eggs, bacon, sausages and freshly baked bread can also be arranged. A private bathroom with a hot shower completes the space, ensuring you have everything needed for a relaxing countryside stay.

Although wonderfully disconnected, there’s plenty to enjoy around the farm. Follow nature trails through fields and woodland, make use of the communal outdoor cooking and picnic area or take a short stroll to the farm’s own grass airstrip. The lack of WiFi and patchy phone signal only adds to the sense of escape, allowing you to fully embrace a slower pace of life.

The surrounding Lincolnshire countryside offers plenty to explore. Walk sections of the Viking Way, cycle along the nearby North Sea Cycle Route or spend days discovering charming market towns such as Caistor and Brigg. Visit Lincoln’s magnificent cathedral and castle, enjoy fish and chips by the sea in Cleethorpes or explore local attractions including Elsham Hall and Normanby Hall. Whether you're seeking outdoor adventure or complete relaxation, The Badger Sett provides the perfect base for a memorable escape.
