Cowshed Reviews

Lucy

Would 100% recommend this. Facilities are excellent, the kids will not get bored. They loved feeding the goat and swimming in large pool and hot tub. Lots to do in the area. The cottage had everything we needed and was larger than looked in the photos. Maggie was so hospitable and accommodating. We cannot wait to come back!

Simon

A beautiful location and not too far to the local attractions. The swimming pool was the reason we booked this cottage but unfortunately we did not find it warm enough for our 3 year old for more than 5 minutes as he does not swim so could not warm himself up. The pool table has a few dips in it! Other than that the accommodation is what you would Read moreprobably expect from a farmyard location - I would suggest 3 star rating. The host is very friendly and accommodating. Hide

Andrew

A lovely place to stay with a great farmyard feel (sheep, horses, dogs, goats and hens all nearby). The cottage has a rustic appearance giving it lots of character. It was comfortable and the hostess was very helpful and friendly. The surroundings are gorgeous and the availability of the swimming pool and games room was a very welcome bonus. Well w orth the money!
