Badger Watch Dorset

Well worth a visit as I have wanted to see badgers in the wild! The badgers were very shy and nervous. Worth the wait for them to come out. I recommend that you take a book and be aware that other people you share the hide with can be noisy!

A great experience with friendly host greeting us on our arrival.. We saw 2 owls, 6 badgers and a pheasant during our visit..

Great place, cute badgers. While waiting for them to come, you're likely to see rabbits, foxes, pheasants and various smaller creatures.Prepare to be patient and quiet, if can be about 2 hours before you spot the badgers.

This is an amazing place to visit. We saw loads of badgers and they were fantastic to watch. Well worth a visit.

Lovely location in the countryside and really friendly hosts.You do need to show patience to see badger as these are wild animals and will come and go at their own will.Loved the fact that we can see these wild creatures in their natural habitat without disturbing them too much.

We booked this badger watching activity by a recommendation from the host of the cottage. It was fairly easy to book - just phoned in based on the info on their website. They need to take the payment in advance - £120 per hide. There are two hides in the farm.We arrived at 7pm. Then we just waited quietly for the badger to appear. There was a diary from previous visitors. It seems most people observed badgers between 9-10pm. Luckily the first badger appeared at 8pm and we saw it busy feeding for 10min. We had to head back London for work, so we cant stay much longer. Will definitely come back and stay till later into the dark.Highly recommend to bring some books or even a card game - keep yourself entertained while waiting.

Beautiful place located in the most wonderful Dorset countryside in the Piddle Valley! A superb secluded corner with gorgeous landscape, various wildlife...and of course badgers!

Good experience. Saw a couple of badgers. Felt too pricey at £80 a hide. Also some comfier pillows in there or drink on arrival

Great evening, great hide, great experience. Totally recommend

What a magical experience watching badgers in the wild! We had our own hide which was situated right by the badger sett. We arrived at half 6 but it wasn't until about 10 that the badgers came out. 100% worth the wait though! There is other wildlife to see too including a tawny owl box. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!
