Had a very comfortable week at the Cow Shed despite some wet and windy weather. Well equipped and very clean.
Mrs Wedge July 2026
We had a very comfortable stay at The Cow Shed. The house is so well equipped for everything you could need. The owners gave us a warm welcome and went out of their way to ensure we had a good stay. The location is perfect for exploring the Lizard. We found this area to be stunningly beautiful with breathtaking coastal paths, quiet beaches and sleepy fishing villages. We hope to return soon!!...

This is the second holiday at this cottage and probably won't be the last. Comfortable, extremely well equipped and quiet and peaceful location, but still easy to travel to many lovely places on the Lizard in a short time.
Mr Davies September 2025
Lovely barn conversion, relaxing atmosphere within easy reach by car to local shops, beaches, harbours and coastal path walks.
Mrs Pauley June 2025
Our 4th stay, excellent as always and already booked for next year.
