🏆 Employee of the Week: Lulu the Cockerel 🏆

(And yes, before anyone asks… we know Lulu is a boy now. We made an early administrative error when he hatched 🙈)

This week’s award goes to Lulu for outstanding service in the following areas:

🐔 Diplomatically resolving disputes between his ladies before they escalate into full-scale feathery warfare.

🐔 Demonstrating exemplary gentlemanly behaviour by finding tasty morsels and immediately offering them to his ladies before helping himself.

🐔 Showing remarkable patience and professionalism while dealing with the daily chaos created by Frank the runner duck, whose job description appears to consist entirely of causing trouble.

🐔 Maintaining constant vigilance against all potential threats, whether they are genuine dangers or a suspicious leaf moving in the breeze.

For dedication, selflessness, conflict resolution, and putting up with Frank, we salute you, Lulu.

👏 Employee of the Week and very good boy.
Less rush. More badgers.

What’s the funniest difference you’ve noticed between Britain and America? 😂🇬🇧🇺🇸

We recently hosted some lovely American guests and ended up having several chats about the little differences between life in England and the USA. One conversation that made us giggle was about badgers 🤣

They said English badgers look like they’d invite you in for a cup of tea and scones in their quaint country cottage… while the American badger looks far more likely to drag you down a back alley and mug you to fund its drugs habit 😉😂

Now we can’t unsee it.

To be fair, our local badgers do seem very polite when they wander past the cottage at night 🦡

Less rush. More badgers.

Looking for a place where wildlife is part of the daily experience?

We’re always grateful for kind reviews, but this one genuinely made us smile:

“In short, this is heaven on earth.” 💛

From peaceful walks straight from the front door to evenings spent watching badgers, deer, foxes and countless birds, it’s wonderful to know our guests enjoyed everything that makes The Little House so special.

Nestled amongst fields and woodland in the Surrey countryside, it’s a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the simple pleasure of being somewhere truly peaceful.

A huge thank you to our lovely guests for taking the time to share their experience. We loved hosting you and hope to welcome you back one day.

Less rush. More badgers

✨ Looking for somewhere that feels a little magical?
The Little House is a place where time slows down and the countryside wraps around you. A proper escape for couples who love comfort and nature in equal measure. It offers a truly unique badger watching experience right on your doorstep. It’s a rare and unforgettable glimpse into their secret world – a highlight that guests never forget. 🦡

Set in nine acres of fields, woodland, and illuminated landscaped gardens the cottage has been lovingly designed with care and attention to every detail. From the underfloor heating and wood-burning stove with unlimited supply logs to the welcome basket with our own eggs, honey, marshmallows for toasting and rich chocolate brownies everything here is done with thought and heart.

Outside, you’ll find your own enclosed, dog-secure garden with a veranda draped in festoon lights, perfect for sitting out long after sunset. There’s also a patio, BBQ and fire pit – all you need for slow mornings and starlit evenings. Beyond the garden, herons visit the wildlife pond, deer wander through the fields, red kites and buzzards drift overhead – it’s a nature lover’s dream. But the true magic starts as dusk falls, when you can watch badgers being fed just beyond the garden, or tune into our live badger cameras, streaming straight from nearby setts into the cottage. Your very own Nature Watch. 🦡

We’re hands-on hosts who genuinely care that your stay is as easy and relaxing as possible, nothing is ever too much trouble.

Not something you see every night…

There’s something quite special about the night shift here.

While everything’s still and quiet, this lone stag wandered down to the badger sett for a slow, careful look around, just a few metres from the Little House. No rush, no noise, just the soft sound of hooves and the sense that you’re watching a world most people never get to see.

It’s moments like this that make staying here feel a bit different. You never quite know who might appear after dark, but there’s always something quietly magical about it when they do.

Keep an eye on the cameras tonight… 🦌🌙

What do you think started this little disagreement?

By day it’s usually the picture of halcyon countryside life. Wildlife quietly wandering through the fields accompanied by birdsong, like a scene from Beatrix Potter.

By night, occasionally, it’s straight into an episode of EastEnders.

If you’d like to witness every aspect of English countryside right on your doorstep, you know where we are. 🌳🦡🐇🦌

What caption would you give this very serious wildlife investigator? 🕵️‍♂️🦡

Current theory from our tiny guest:

“Right… the stripy lads definitely came through here at 02:14… and frankly I’ve got more questions than answers.”

The badger cam continues to be unexpectedly gripping viewing for dogs and humans alike.

Did you watch David Attenborough’s The Secret World of the Badger Sett last night? 🦡

It was a captivating glimpse into the world of the badger. To see how much goes on beneath the surface and how intelligent, social, and surprisingly playful badgers really are was fascinating.

If the documentary has sparked your interest, and would love to experience them in person, here at The Little House, we’re lucky enough to have an active badger sett just a few metres away. Guests are able to see and hear them snuffling and padding about as dusk falls or watch them on the live stream badger cam from the comfort of the cottage.

There’s something very special about sitting out under the stars, listening to the sounds of the countryside, knowing the badgers are just nearby.

If you would like to book your front row seat at this magical wildlife theatre call me. 🦡🦡🦡
