The Calf Shed Reviews

Amanda
We had wonderful weekend here. Accomodation was spotless and modern and the hosts had added lovely extras like robes, slippers, prosecco. The hot tub was so relaxing in the evenings and really added to our weekends enjoyment. We will definitely return.
Joanna
The annex was lovely. It has been renovated to a high standard and was very clean. There were lovely touches on arrival of snacks and bubbles in the fridge which were very appreciated. For guests who are planning to rent both the Calf Shed and Norfield, it's worth noting that the Calf Shed is actually attached to the owners property rather than NorRead morefield and in order to move between properties, you have to walk a short way along a fast main road which has no street lights at night.

Great location, very clean and good standard of facilities. The hot tub was a bonus and with the good weather, we could make full use of the barbeque set on the patio. The location is ideal as there are so many interesting places to visit within a close radius of travel. Would recommend this place but we've been impressed with every holiday cottage s place we have stayed at.

This cottage was beautiful, absolutely spotless. The bed was so comfortable and you can guarantee a peaceful nights sleep. The hot tub was easy to use and even warm in January when we visited. The co op and pubs and other shops are only down the road. A perfect peaceful quiet getaway. 10 of 10.

Lovely little lodge which was very comfortable and relaxing to stay in. The owners made some lovely little touches by leaving us prosecco, cookies, jam and bread in the kitchen for our arrival. Spa was all ready for us
