We had a wonderful 6 night stay at The Cow Shed. As previously mentioned, the flexibility the owner allows of arrival days was key on our decision to stay here. That and the gorgeous location of course. The meadow for our little furbaby was an absolute highlight and was another reason why we chose this property. The wildlife you see/hear is wonderful and if you go up to the community shop and spend some time with a coffee…….well that was another highlight. Fabulous community, fabulous place. Go you won’t be disappointed....

A comfortable warm cottage. The upstairs shower room is rather small. Lovely view from the cottage.

The Cowshed really lived up to expectations with its rural location and a great views. A quaint and cosy cottage which is well equipped and comes with a generous welcoming pack which included locally produced artisan cakes! It is dog friendly with plenty of walks around a charming village with its little shop and a pub. One word of caution..... the locals! They are very friendly and are happy to chat particularly if you are a dog owner! Those morning dog strolls take much longer than expected. This adds to the charm of the village. Love it!...

Lovely location within easy reach of places of interest. Sizeable property for 2 and a medium sized dog. Exbourne is a quirky place but very pleasant to stroll around with hardly any traffic. Richard, the owner was very helpful. Loved the cake left for us on arrival....

We were so looking forward to staying, but sadly as soon as we stepped through the door we knew it was not as advertised. The interior is seriously in need of an ‘uplift’. It’s been left and it is tired and felt dirty or in need of a decent clean. Having stayed in many cottages over the years sadly this one was probably the most disappointing booking. The cottage lacks comfort and one TV and not a smart TV is something which maybe should be considered. Overall would I recommend, no not for the price not good value. Very sorry ...
