Joanne

Oh my lord, we had the best time. Nick made the stay so easy and welcoming from the wine and chocolates to washing up liquid. The Cow Shed is a beautiful and relaxing place to stay and we will be back. The whole place is immaculate with great details, it feels like someone has just said "what do I like" and implied it all. We had teenagers with useRead more who enjoyed is and loved the hot tub. Hide

Excellent can not fault it my mother 91yr says she did not want to leave, once home said amazing I felt so at home there. I too felt the same will visit again for longer

Very good spacious accommodation home from home. Everthing you could want from a self catering holiday. Beds were very comfortable and to have an on suite to both bedrooms was lovely. The hot tub is a bonus and very good to come home to at the end of the day.

Lyndon

one of the best places we have stayed in, fantastic five star Accommodation

Claire

We had the most amazing time at The Cow Shed. The accommodation is absolutely beautiful and has been designed to perfection. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the location is extremely secluded and peaceful. Everything was immaculate and we even wondered if anyone had ever stayed there before! The kitchen was very well equipped and had every thing we needed to cook a full meal. The hot tub on the decking was a real treat. The lodge had also been decorated for Christmas-a lovely surprise.

Stephen

Stayed in the cowshed for 3 nights. Such a lovely family retreat. Very quiet and extremely clean would recommend to anyone.

Katharine

Lovely place to stay. Very comfortable and peaceful location. Has everything you need and more. Set out rather like a posh caravan park. In between Sherborne which is beautiful with lovely shops/cafes and Yeovil which is the total opposite. Recommend Tamburino Gold in Sherborne for delicious Italian dinner.

Mike

We had a wonderful week in The Cow Shed, it was extremely clean, well equipped and very comfortable. It is a great base for visiting historical sites, beautiful gardens and beaches. I would recommend it to anyone.

Jackie

Lovely spacious property. Nice decor and very comfortable beds! A couple of minor issues (one was just a question about the heating) were immediately dealt with by the owner.

Anna

Beautiful luxury shed, we had an amazing time there. Lovely views and very peaceful.

mark

We had an excellent stay at this property. The level of finish is excellent, as is the location.

Stephen

A really wonderful place to stay

andrea

This was a little piece of heaven! Absolutely blown away by the set up, the owners had thought about EVERYTHING a family needed. The lodge was so beautiful, away from the world, quiet and super cozy. Our kids had so much space to play inside and out. The hot tub was lush and the side entrance to jump straight into the shower was a genius idea. Hone stly we didnt want to leave and have already recommended this place to family and friends.

You can buy teddy bear gifts from the quaint shop including top notch brands. The Steiff Teddy Bear and Merrythought bears are very popular. Open 7 days a week all year round (except 25th and 26th December) this is a perfect all weather place to visit.

Kingston Maurward Gardens and Animal Park - DT2 8PY

Kingston Maurward Gardens and Animal Park is a magical place to visit with grand gardens and plenty of animals to meet. From goats and ponies to alpacas and pot bellied pigs this attraction is excellent value for money. You can feel free to explore the grounds too which are especially lovely on sunny days. You will see majestic floral displays, stone terraces, a temple and even a lake.

Longleat Safari and Adventure Park - BA12 7NW

about 21 Miles

You may have seen this amazing attraction on the BBC1 Animal Park programme. This is actually the first safari park outside of Africa where you can get close to the animals from the comfort of your own car. Some of the highlights include the zebras, the wallabies in wallaby wood and the sea lion escorted cruise to Gorilla Island. And of course the magnificent lions and tigers are a must see. This really is an animal experience with a difference and you can save money by booking your tickets online. This attraction is open until the end of October. Check out their website to see some fantastic video podcasts of the park.

Monkey World - BH20 6HH

about 23 Miles

Monkey World is not only a local attraction but the work they carry out is amazing. Rescuing and rehabilitating monkeys and assisting governments around the world to stop the smuggling of primates are just some of the purposes of the centre. You get to see the primates themselves many of which have become famous from appearing on the TV show Monkey World - a documentary about this place. Open year round we think this is one of best attractions in Dorset and you even get the chance to adopt a monkey if you choose.

Family friendly activities include Raft Building and Nature Walks and environmental bush craft sessions.
