Stunning cottage in a tranquil setting. The cottage is well presented to high standard of equipment and soft furnishings. The highlight of our cottage mini holiday was the hot tub and bistro table and chairs in the court yard.. On our first evening we sat in the hot tub looking out onto the sunset, listening to the birds, pure relaxation. Our host was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble to ask. There were a couple of occasions that we asked for recommendations places to eat and David was only more than happy to help us. Lots of country walks nearby and a local co op half a mile away for those little necessities. We would highly recommend The Old Workhouse Cottage in Stowuplands, Sulfork. You won’t be disappointed.

This is a real gem of a place. So beautifully presented and in a quiet location with the added bonus of air conditioning. This has been our saviour in the heat wave we have experienced this week. The Old Workshop has been ideal to recharge our batteries in the most comfortable of surroundings. Host was very helpful and friendly. Very thoughtful welcome box on arrival made our stay absolutely perfect. Would highly recommend.
