Badgers Holt http://www.badgersholtdartmoor.co.uk is a self-catering riverside retreat with optional venue space.
Set in the heart of Dartmoor at beautiful Dartmeet, on the banks of the stunning River Dart. Surrounded by Dartmoor’s iconic granite boulders and open
moorland, it offers privacy, flexibility and space to gather in one of the moor’s most spectacular valleys.
Our self-contained apartments can be booked individually — perfect for couples and families seeking a peaceful Dartmoor escape — or reserved together for exclusive use, accommodating up to 20 guests in total. This flexibility makes Badgers Holt ideal for family celebrations, group holidays, walking weekends, wellness retreats, workshops and creative or corporate gatherings.
Alongside comfortable accommodation, we offer dedicated indoor and outdoor venue space, giving you the freedom to host yoga sessions, shared meals, special celebrations or team away-days — all within private riverside grounds.
Guests can paddle and cold-water dip from the property, with deeper and more expansive wild swimming pools just a short stroll away. Evenings are made for relaxed BBQs and gathering around the fire pit beneath some of the darkest skies in the South West — a setting that naturally encourages connection and complete switch-off.
Just metres away is the much-loved Wilder Sauna — an independent wood-fired riverside sauna that has become a real highlight for our guests. The combination of heat, river water and open moorland creates a uniquely Dartmoor wellness experience. For retreat groups and restorative stays, it offers the perfect contrast of warmth and wild immersion, all within a few steps of your accommodation.
Badgers Holt offers something increasingly rare on Dartmoor: the choice of an intimate escape or a fully private group retreat — all in one of the moor’s most iconic riverside settings.
