Description

At Badgers Holt the River Dart meanders through the grounds of this former fishing lodge, which houses a series of versatile, rustic spaces for celebrations, all perfect for styling with your own unique twist. Take your vows in the blank canvas Riverside Garden Room, Banquet Fireside Room – complete with a roaring wood burner – or even in the garden bandstand on the water’s edge. Venture onto the ancient Tor-dotted moorland for dramatic photos and together-time before returning for festoon lit celebrations and firepit gatherings on the riverbank and sleeping beneath the stars in a Lotus Belle Tent or cosy apartment. We offer elopement, intimate, all inclusive and simple Venue hire options to couples.

Emma and her family made our day the best day of our lives!

Badgers Holt is a truly magical and wonderful venue and a huge part of that is the dedication and care that Emma and her family put into the day. In the run up to our wedding day, Emma was on hand to answer all of our questions and dicuss ideas with us. She suggested suppliers who were all fantastic to work with and offered an amazing service (this included, caterers, photographer, florist and a band). On our wedding day her and her team made the day run smoothly and Emma went above and beyond to ensure we had the best day of our lives and that our guests had a great time. We highly recommend Emma and Badgers Holt and we will be forever grateful to her for making our day to special.

Everyone we speak to or get messages from say how

Thank you all so much for what was the most incredible day! The venue, you incredible hosts and the whole weekend was nothing but perfect. Everyone we speak to or get messages from say how great the day was but also rave about the venue, the setting and the weather! I have had 3 people say they wished their son/daughter got married there and a couple more put it on the list for when their kids are ready to get married. That is testament to you all, not just for what a great venue you have.

Beautiful venue on Dartmoor in nature

I had my wedding at Badgers Holt in Dartmeet. The venue itself is absolutely stunning right next to the river with a rustic /woodland feel about it, which was exactly what I was after. Location wise it's in the middle of the moors so there are some great opportunities for some fantastic photos. Emma and her team were fabulous and really made the day that extra special for us, nothing was too much to ask. They were all very friendly and welcoming and helped to keep myself (bride) relaxed and calm on the big day. I can't recommend and thank Emma and her team enough for making our day as truly special as it was.

Wonderful day at Badger's Holt

We had a wonderful wedding at Badger's Holt in October 2023. The team at Badger's Holt were helpful, friendly and attentive, and we could not have asked for better. From timings of the day to wine choice, we had everything just the way we wanted, and this was well reflected as all our guests commented how 'us' the wedding was! If we could get married all over again, we would do it the exact same way. It was also clear that the team love what they do, and are concerned most of all with getting you just what you want for your wedding day. Thank you to everyone at Badger's Holt for the best day!!

"Best Wedding Venue Ever!! "

"Best Wedding Venue Ever!! We choose Badgers Holt for the amazing natural beauty, and relaxed, romantic, yet sense of occasion that the venue atmosphere created. Emma & Family made us feel relaxed and welcome from the minute we first met and supported, listening to our requests & offering great advice. They were always there with a happy smile, lots of enthusiasm and capable hands! We had so many compliments on the day and still since it is being talked about the 'Best Wedding Ever'". THANK YOU

A dream venue!

We cannot thank Emma and her family enough for helping us to have the most perfect wedding day! From the moment we first met I could tell that Emma would go above and beyond for us to make sure we had a very special, stress free day which is exactly what happened. The venue speaks for itself, it’s so beautiful, peaceful and intimate. If we did it all again we would only ever choose Badgers Holt.

Emma and Simon went above and beyond with the most amazing hospitality and relaxed approach but one which was so attentive

A week ago today I married my best friend and sole mate at Badgers Holt and had the most perfect day. After searching for wedding venues I came across this venue and knew the location so started to get excited. On speaking to Emma I knew I needed to wait for restrictions to change so we could view the venue and as I thought it was perfect. Emma’s attention to detail, reassurance and help was amazing and nothing was too much from day one- we managed to book our photographer through Emma and had the florist we were hoping for all from attending the open event. Every time I spoke or heard from Emma I felt relaxed and looked after. ​ The day arrived and wow I was blown away with all the little touches and surprises and immediately felt like a queen. Emma and Bez went above and beyond with the most amazing hospitality and relaxed approach but one which was so attentive. My guests, family and friends have all shared stories of how amazing not only the day was but the venue and owners and I agree and am still in the most perfect bubble ever. The food also was amazing and everything I could ask for and we was so well looked after in so many ways you would not believe. My perfect day was made a reality and I’m so grateful and will be enjoying the venue for many more years to come. I can not recommend them enough and Emma and Bez thank you from the bottom of my heart
