    “This is our second stay in the past 18 months at Badminton and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

    However we did think that the quality of the sofas had declined in that time. They are extremely low and difficult to get off and also the seats were hard with very little padding! The beds were extremely comfortable both mattress and pillows and we slept very well. The bathroom would benefit from hooks for dressing gown’s and also the toilet roll holder was very cheap and kept coming apart! Minor things but would make a big difference.

    However we did think that the quality of the sofas had declined in that time. They are extremely low and difficult to get off and also the seats were hard with very little padding! The beds were extremely comfortable both mattress and pillows and we slept very well. The bathroom would benefit from hooks for dressing gown’s and also the toilet roll holder was very cheap and kept coming apart! Minor things but would make a big difference. The complimentary wine and crisps were a lovely touch but milk, tea and coffee would be appreciated especially as there is no shop in the village. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back

    Dear Mrs Mcallister, we are so pleased to welcome you back to Badminton and thank you kindly for your feedback, which I always try to action. I wanted to let you know that hopefully for your next visit the toilet roll holders will have been replaced, I thoroughly agree these are of poor quality. In addition, it is on my short to medium term plan to replace the sofas in the future. It is a shame that there is nolonger a shop in Thorpeness and I will look at the possibility of providing more basic provisions for arrival. I look forward to welcoming you back to Badminton in the future. Best wishes Sanchia Property Owner

The property

The inverted style of this holiday home allows you to make the most of the view through the long leaded windows where the light streams in and the spacious open plan room is ideally furnished for entertaining at the refectory style table or simply relaxing on comfortable sofas in front of the efficient modern fire. Under floor heating on the ground floor is an added luxury to the comfortable bedrooms and modern bathrooms. Badminton is in a great position for a holiday, a short walk from the beach, Meare, popular Dolphin Inn and a village shop. Off-road parking is literally outside the front door and, when you’re tired of exploring, guests can sit and watch the world go by from their patio at the front of the house Ground Floor The front door is located at the rear of Ogilvie Hall and opens into a hallway with stairs to the first floor and doors to the three bedrooms and bathroom. There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor with the hallway having a hard floor and all bedrooms carpeted. Bedroom One Wake to the sun shining into this east-facing room, furnished with king-size bed, attractive dressing table with stool, chest of drawers and wardrobe with drawers too, En-Suite Shower Room Beautifully tiled with ceramic tiles to walls and floor, this en-suite has contemporary white sanitary wear with chrome fittings including a wet room style walk-in shower with shower rose, basin set into a vanity unit, storage drawers, WC, heated towel rail and shaver socket.
