The "Cow Shed" is well appointed and comfortable. The open plan kitchen/dining area/lounge works well, while the TV and Wi-Fi reception is fine. The bedrooms are comfortable with good storage and the bathrooms are more than adequate with lots of hot water. The location is very quiet and suitable for beach holidays and good walks within easy reach as well as making it easy to visit places of interest. Shops and supermarkets and not far away at Helston, while Falmouth is an easy drive to visit more shops and restaurants. The Maritime Museum is worth a visit and a boat trip along the River Fal is to be enjoyed. Overall, a well appointed property in a good location....

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at the Cow Shed. It was in a beautiful, quiet location with lovely views and the front garden was a little sun trap! The accommodation was extremely well equipped and the owners seem to have thought of everything. Great location for exploring our favourite area on the Lizard Peninsula. We would certainly think about staying here again next time we are down....

We had a wonderful week staying in The Cow Shed. The property was spotless and very comfortable, with a very well equipped kitchen. Brilliant location to explore The Lizard, with stunning coastal walks and beaches. Our daughter was very keen to see the cows and enjoyed a trip to meet them one evening. Would definitely return for another stay and recommend to friends/family....

Will recommend this property to anyone who expects a beautiful property and surroundings. On entering the track to the barn a beautiful wildflower patch has been left. A joy to see every day.
