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

Situated in an ideal location for exploring the area, The Cattle Sheds is probably the best equipped holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in. Considering how hot it has been the three pedestal fans provided by the owners were a godsend. The accommodation is much bigger than it looks in the photos and the enclosed garden was ideal for the dog and for sitting out when it was cooler in the evenings. The welcome pack was much appreciated and the fridge freezer in the utility room is very handy to have. The bedrooms are spacious with very comfortable beds. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived. Information provided by the owners before arrival was very useful. We appreciated the peace and quiet and found The Cattle Sheds were ideal for our holiday. We would love to return for another stay in the future.

The Cattle Sheds is tucked down a private little road in a remote location. We were a group of 5 adults, with two dogs and we it perfect for our needs. The pictures just do not do it justice. There is plenty of room for us all to sit down both inside and outside. There is also plenty of space for a bit of quiet time as well.The garden a walled garden and big enough for the dogs with comfortable seating and BBQ. Although we didn't use the BBQ.The rooms were all of a good size and comfortable. There are three separate W/Cs which was great as we allocated each room a toilet.The accommodation was well equipped and we really appreciated the bean to coffee machine which was perfect for after-breakfast.The local pub was about a 20 minute walk, this was perfect for our needs and there is a little footpath only a few yards away which takes you half-way there.A massive thanks and we will be going back!
