“Beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings.”

Just what was needed to get away from the stresses and strains of city life.
Mrs Stevenson September 2018

“The Old Cowshed looked very interesting on the details - in fact it exceeded expectations.”

Very comfortable and clean with a lot of thought having gone into the whole set-up. We did feel it was somewhat isolated and may have been a small problem if the weather had been bad (which it was not!). Also the TV reception was very poor but did not spoil the very enjoyable stay; Thank you.
Mrs Smith August 2018

“A beautiful cottage in a very peaceful location.”

Perfect for our family with our little one. There is a group of about 4-5 cottages so would be great to go as a big group of you. We had a very comfortable stay with lots of exploring to do all around. A car is essential as it is very isolated. The only thing we would suggest is the kitchen was a little under equipped.
Mrs Marsh July 2018

“The Olde Cow Shed was fabulous 5 star accommodation.”

We had a amazing holiday and will book to stay there again.
Mrs Evans July 2018

“A beautiful cottage in a lovely location.”

A very welcome cake, bottle of wine and chocolate greeted us on arrival. The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful. We have already booked to return in October!

“Very welcoming and friendly people, lovely accommodation in very nice area all four of us enjoyed our stay enormously”
Mrs Parker August 2017

“Amazing property.”

Lovely location. Exceeded our expectations by a long way. Super clean. Very cosy and warm. Fantastic location. Lovely bottle of wine, home made fruit loaf, flowers and chocolate when we arrived. Linen and towels included - which reduces a lot of packing space and hassle. Enclosed back courtyard was great for our dog. Free BBQ starter pack was way and above our expectations. Fantastic kitchen and cooking facilities, pots, pans and utensils, including washing machine, washing up liquid, dishwasher and tablets, foil, cling film, tea, coffee, sugar!!! Books, DVDs, and leaflets about local areas of interest. Games room for the boys. Brilliant king size bed with dressing area and ginormous bathroom, with double shower and bath. Love, love, loved it.

“Have answered 'no' to the question 'would you re-book?”

'. This is not related to the quality of the accommodation, merely that we don't go to the same place twice.
A FlipKey verified reviewer September 2010

Lovely place all you could ever want super power shower and the cake was very welcome all the home comfort and more lovely quiet peaceful area well situated for visiting surrounding areas would definetly return again first class
