The Cowshed facilities and interior standards are high and is a credit to the owners. The enclosed gardens were very generous and provided our Retriever Labrador with much play area. The property location was excellent and with many of other similar and beautiful Cotswold hamlets within easy reach made our holiday a treat.

No cows but a few sheep in the adjacent field. Looks like a lot of attention to detail on the renovation resulting in well laid out and spacious accommodation on a lovely tranquil plot next to the ownersâ house. Met Graham (the owner) and Tia (the dog) who were both very friendly. Would definitely recommend for a visit to the Cotswolds.
