If you want to get away from noise, and stay in a superbly clean property in an idyllic setting then you have found it! A beautifully kept property which is owner managed. There is a separate utility room and an additional toilet. The twin bedroom does not have a wardrobe, just hanging space on a rail. None of the bedrooms have a dressing table .

A wonderful relaxing stay at the Cow Stalls. The accommodation was perfect and Antony and Gillian were fantastic hosts. We loved waking up and saying good morning to the chickens and ducks, using the games shed, hot tub and garden space. Just fabulous!

James

I concur with virtually all positive reviews I have seen. A fine barn style property, immaculately clean and catering for all modern needs. The owners are very friendly and available to help with any queries or problems you may have. Three bedrooms, each with their own bathroom was certainly one of our main requirements and the hot tub was a pleasa nt bonus.

Lovely welcome from the owners who made us feel at home straight away. Location is perfect for a quiet and relaxing holiday and the resident sheep and chickens were an added bonus.

We have stayed in numerous holiday cottages and this was one our our top picks. Facilities, friendly welcome and nothing too much bother.

Bathrooms and showers good, Kitchen facilities were all you needed. The outdoor surrounding are just ideal for a relaxing break.

Nothing to fault this beautiful cottage. Idyllic location tucked away, amazing hot tub in the meadow and gorgeous accommodation. So clean and comfy bedding. We explored the beaches on the Jurassic coast with our 3 boys and it was great to return to the cottage for evenings by the fire and a dip in the hot tub to watch the stars together. Anthony an d Gillian were the perfect hosts, offering advice and chatting with us over morning coffee by the sheep and lambs. Would 100% recommend this cottage.

Difficult to fault this accommodation. The owners made us so welcome and provided us with mince pies. They even offered to fire up the hot tub despite the frosty weather - we declined but it looked very inviting. The place was spacious and very warm and comfortable.
