Fantastic holiday accommodation. The owner was lovely and friendly. Nice, private courtyard garden. Not overlooked. Very peaceful day and night. Completely pitch black at night. Had everything you would need.

Much bigger than we thought. The Cattle Shed is so much more spacious than is expected from the photos. The kitchen is good, maybe consider an Airfryer as that is becoming a modern kitchen appliance. The owner’s recommendations for eating out and takeaways are spot on. They were the best. Thank you for a relaxing week
