Sarah Jane
This was just a lovely stay. I was made to feel so welcome. I came here with my little puppy to havesome time away without my children. A much-needed break was just what was required. My puppy loved the surrounding gardens and the donkey. The Cow Cott was just perfect for my needs. Very peaceful and relaxing and listening to nature at its best. I received a handmade cake on arrival, plus chocolate biscuits, Cadburys mini chocolates, a bottle or red wine and even some treats for my puppy. I was totally blown away. There was also coffee, tea, salt and pepper, cooking oil, cleaning equipmentâs, tea towels, eye masks, you name it, it was there. The Wi-Fi was amazing. In the description it mentions its only for browsing, but I was able to watch Netflix, apple tv and you tube, TikTok with no issues from my mobile using the Wi-Fi. There is a lovely electric fire, but there is also heating as well. The bed was so comfortable. Everything was to a high spec. There is another fridge and freeze in the outbuilding if needed, but I didnât need to use it. I would definitely come back another time and would highly recommend.

I was very happy there. Countryside is beautiful with lots of footpaths. The cottage does not have room for a proper dining table or comfortable chairs but it didn't bother me.
