Beautiful site, quiet as promised
Beautiful site, like the lodge immaculate, bed very comfy. Its not perfect, some fixings tired, but so is mine in my own house. The sitting furniture was the only let down, liturraly, reclined as you sat whether yoi liked it or not. Not fit for purpose.
The lodge didnt match the advertised photos, but as good as,dont let me put you off. I would go again .

Far from the madding crowd
We wanted a dog-friendly holiday ‘far from the madding crowd’, and The Cowshed fitted the bill perfectly. Surrounded by open fields, it offered the peace and quiet we were looking for while still being within easy reach of supermarkets and holiday attractions. The beds were comfortable and the property was well equipped, so we were quite happy to spend most of the week on site. The heatwave certainly helped, but we would have enjoyed ourselves even in the usual British weather. Would we go back? Most definitely.

The booking process and the standard of property supplied were outstanding. We were kept fully informed throughout the process with all arrival details supplied in good time. We will definitely use them again.
Wonderful family getaway
We had a wonderful family holiday at this lovely cottage with our children and grandchildren. It was perfect for our needs — very spacious, comfortable and well equipped.
The bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms were immaculate, and everything felt beautifully clean. The hot tub was a real treat and was thoroughly enjoyed by the family.
The surrounding area is wonderfully tranquil and serene, making it the perfect place to relax and spend quality time together. We had a very enjoyable and memorable stay and would happily recommend this cottage to other families looking for a peaceful getaway.
Fantastic holiday
