Great hotel, lovely food, amazing staff
Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Badgers Mount. We attended a function in the marquee at the hotel and it was lovely. During our stay the staff were amazing; friendly, helpful and accommodating. Although we didn’t use the swimming pool it did look inviting. We booked one of the double rooms which was small but perfectly okay for our one night stay. The breakfast was delicious with lots of choice and high quality ingredients. We will definitely return

Good enjoyable venue with helpful staff.
Pros:

It was a great venue with the added joy of a swimming pool, which the children in the group really enjoyed.

Cons:

We were in a large group booking with many tables, i thought the wait between table to be served was a little long.

Good place for a night with kids. Nothing special but the hotel was nice, and outdoor pool is lovely
Pros:

Nice large room, comfy bed, outdoor pool nice cooked to order breakfasts food in restaurant also nice. Not overly cheap but they do have daily deals and a set menu.

Cons:

10am checkout - would appreciate later
Pool use for residents - would like more flexibility on being to use pool for longer around your stay. We did stay at a very hot time so more popular than normal I guess. But still felt it was overtly restrictive.

Beautiful venue and delicious breakfast.
Pros:

The private location and the wonderful room. Breakfast was great.

Cons:

Not allowing a check in of 11pm on the night of the wedding meaning the mother of the groom had to leave the reception half way through to check in on their behalf. The time they’d be arriving was clearly documented early on in the booking.

Lovely location and staff very friendly, but the room needs a lot of tlc
Pros:

Location of room and Outdoor pool
Evening meal breakfast very good.

Cons:

Bed was VERY uncomfortable , sink didn’t drain , bathroom door makeshift lock, side light didn’t work, bathroom door was not secure or on hinges, only attached at the top which meant it was easy for a child to injure themselves.

A truly lovely hotel
Pros:

A really positive experience from beginning to end. After a horrible long journey on a hot day we arrived at our cool comfy ground floor room with access through potion doors to a small terrace and beyond that the hotel pool. Quite reasonably it was quiet busy but by 6.30 it was quiet. We had a lovely swim and went back in the next morning again. Lovely veggie breakfast, and dog friendly too. Staff all efficient and lovely.

Would only stay again on weekdays during term time when the pool is probably quieter
Pros:

The pool would have been really nice but they do day passes for people not staying at the hotel so it was extremely busy with lots of kids in it all day. Great for kids and day visitors but not great for people staying at the hotel for a relaxing pool break. You couldn't get in the water as it was full of kids. It's probably fine on weekdays during term time but we went during summer holidays so it spoilt it for us as we only went because it had a pool

Cons:

The pool would have been really nice but they do day passes for people not staying at the hotel so it was extremely busy with lots of kids in it all day. Great for kids and day visitors but not great for people staying at the hotel for a relaxing pool break. You couldn't get in the water as it was full of kids jumping in and splashing about. It's probably quieter on weekdays during term time but we went during summer holidays so it spoilt it for us as we only went because it had a pool. Also food was quite expensive and £3.00 for a packet of crisps was a bit extortionate.

Ok for an overnight stop
Pros:

Spacious room, plenty of parking, friendly staff.

Cons:

Breakfast was an expensive option. Shower was hit and miss getting it to work at a decent temperature. Although the room was tidy it felt a little tired.
