The Cow Shed is a bijou love nest snuggled into a beautiful part of the Mill House Estate.
Enjoying the luxury of a private hot tub, stunning views, and a four poster bed, this contemporary property is small but perfectly formed!

Excellent location for a special break

The cow shed provides a idillic setting for a special break . It is luxuriously furnished with everything you need for a short break provided.
The instructions provided beforehand were very clear especially the written directions to the location as the sat nav took you elsewhere.
We would certainly visit again and highly recommend it .

Was an excellent stay as soon as you get there you feel at home
Everything about the cow shed is perfect, only thing is roads up to it would not be suitable for anyone driving a 4X4 or same size.

All in all I found The Cow Shed to be a lovely property in stunning surroundings. It was blissfully quiet yet close enough to nearby towns to find plenty to do. For me it was definitely high standard but I would not say it was luxury accommodation for the price I paid.

We had a fantastic short break at The Cow Shed. It is beautifully furnished, extremely clean and comfortable. The highlight was enjoying the hot tub whilst overlooking the stream in front and the mountain behind
We will definitely recommend to friends and family and have already booked to return later in the year

Me and my boyfriend stayed for two nights in the cow shed it was a perfect place to celebrate our first anniversary. We had a wonderful time and made the most of it together before getting back to reality. It is self catering and we knew this so we was prepared however when I had booked & payed for the trip I was then told that it would be best to have a vehicle available as it is very remote and as we are a young couple and don’t own a car we did have to rely on getting someone else to get us to and from the cow shed. Apart from that the place was clean , the hot tub was amazing and it did in fact have utensils we needed to make mini pizzas would definitely go again.



We had the best stay

Stephen and Julie are very welcoming and very accommodating. They provide good service and all the informations that they given us were very helpful.
The cottage is in perfect condition, cosy, clean and in an intimate location.
Hot tub is a bonus. Free bottle of red wine was a very nice gesture.

We stayed at the cow shed for two nights and had an amazing time! The accommodation is outstanding and we could not ask for anymore. We had everything we needed and the break was everything we could have asked for.

The cow shed was faultless. The design of the bedroom was outstanding, star gazing at night and the hot tub and stream was out of this world.

Would love to stay again!

The Cow Shed was everything we hoped it would be. The pictures in the Kirby Lonsdale shop did it proper justice and the location, with the patio overlooking a fast-running beck, under the shade of a giant oak, was perfect. We had a four night break, the first as 4 friends in The Royal at Kirkby Lonsdale itself. But honestly, we couldn't wait to dump them and get to our romantic retreat!! A secluded hot tub in a place like this is just bliss; the rushing of the beck, rustling of the trees and a warm robe to wrap up in after...plus star gazing? The owners have thought of everything and now there is a new hedge springing up to make it more private. We like to cook when we're on holiday so 2 small saucepans were limiting (but we'd brought a couple of pans..sorry) and there was a 2 'ring' halogen hob that wasn't mentioned in the itinerary. AND a double oven..rude not to use it! Both now eager to try other Mill House properties..work our way through them all.

This is the perfect place for a romantic getaway. On the whole it provided everything we needed. The bed was really hard so didn't provide a comfortable sleep unfortunately but for two nights we managed. Missing little touches like salt and pepper this is a minor thing.

If you follow the instructions it’s fairly easy to find, when we got to the property there were instructions on everything in the welcome pack, including a great list of walks and restaurants, there was tea,coffee and more importantly milk perfect !!!!! you walk straight into the kitchen which is the only problem with the property, the kitchen is beautiful but the smallest kettle in the world with the shortest plug lead, no toaster, we could only get one ring on the hob to work (that could have been us), the front room area is lovely, the sofa is lovely and very comfy to sit on and a perfect place to relax, you walk through a walk in wardrobe, so much space for hanging clothes and drawers absolutely brilliant!!!!! The bedroom is lovely, the bed is quite firm but comfortable, the view is beautiful, when you lay on the bed you can look at the stars above you as there is a window directly above the bed, the outside area is small but absolutely perfect, the jacuzzi is just such a fantastic addition to an already lovely property, the view from the garden area is just lovely, it’s quite and relaxing.

We had such a lovely couple of days at the Cow Shed! It’s in such a beautiful, peaceful location and the stream next to the accommodation is incredible!
We had a couple of queries during our stay and the owners were quick to help us! Including a few spiders above the bed which caused me a sleepless night lol. The owners kindly gave us a pole to be able to clear the webs and knock the spiders down.
This place will always hold a special place in my heart as I’m now engaged! Thank you for the memories :)

Very quiet...out in the backwoods, perfect hideaway.. a wonderful "away from it all".

Not much cooking equipment (wouldve liked a bit more). 2 electric cooker rings (one didn't function)..This is a minor,minor, grumble..

The setting, the style, the place to stay for tranquility and isolation...highly recommend.

The Cow Shed is lovely. Amazing location and top notch furnishings. Very comfortable, nice TV, comfy bed and the robes provided were very nice/ Hot Tub was also great. Nice touch was a bttle of wine and biscuits on arrival.
Only challenge was the kitchen was very limited so I would not plan to cook anything on the small hob. Oven and grill were fine.

Peaceful getaway, my partner and I are from a busy city so it was nice to get some quiet in the lovely setting that is the cowshed. We were left alone to enjoy our stay and it was very relaxing, there wasn’t any need to interact with anyone and it was like we were in our own little private world. The hot tub was lovely too and the shortbread cookies were amazing!

The Cow Shed was I would say one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. The scenery was stunning, to have your own private veranda with a waterfall was just breathtaking and the hot tub was such a treat to get in after a long days walking. The sky light above the bed was well thought of, you could lie in bed and watch the stars and see the constellations. It really made you feel at one with nature and appreciate the world we live in. We would definitely visit again and highly recommend!

The cow shed was a lovely cottage off the beaten track but still close to Kirby Lonsdale if you needed anything. Amazing views and walks across the Lake District. The cottage was decorated nicely and was very comfortable.

The only downside was not much was provided, there was no oil, salt or pepper so if you are cooking you need to bring everything with you.

Myself and my wife stayed at the property for two nights. It was immaculate and very well looked after, the layout was perfect with plenty of space for everything. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the views from the gardens.

Our only improvement on the property would be the mattress which we found quite hard and uncomfortable and also the sky light which had no blind meaning it was day light in the room about 6am. Albeit we were provided with eye masks.

The cow shed is very comfortable and luxurious ,The hot tub and the decking area was great,
The rooflight and glazed gable let the light in very early, The eye masks were a nice touch but didn't help much,
Very narrow lanes to access the property but that's probably why its so peaceful,
Personally we went for the surroundings and the view which did not disappoint

We loved our stay at the Cow Shed for our 10 year wedding anniversary. It was everything we expected and more. Lovely place, amazing setting overlooking the beck and great location for exploring the area including a day trip up to the lakes. We booked the Friday Supper Club at the Churchmouse in Barbon as recommended which was brilliant. The hosts were very welcoming and we couldn’t have asked for more!

We love to walk and enjoy going away somewhere quiet- this ticked both boxes, we didn’t use the car during our 3 night stay! Property is well appointed and of a very high standard. The hot tub with views was perfect! Robe and slippers greatly appreciated as it was freezing outside and they helped to get to the shower! Walked to the inn at Barbon and had a superb meal- walking over the fields along footpaths took about 45 minutes and was most enjoyable. Need to use a map to ensure you are on footpaths. Thoroughly restful stay in a beautiful property in a super location.

Fantastic cottage, the doors leading out onto the private decking area with the hot tub overlooking the stream is superb! The pictures don’t really do it justice until you get there, i felt it was really good value for money and only a 10 min drive to Kirkby Lonsdale which has nice pubs and shops! The underfloor heating kept the whole cottage lovely and warm and it has a really luxury feel to it. When we walked in we had fresh cookies, a bottle of wine and tea/coffee and milk in the fridge! I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to impress their partner and we’ll definitely be back at some point

We stayed at the cow shed for 2 nights to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary.
We were blown away when we arrived, it’s not often that accommodation is better than it looks in the photos.
The Cow shed exceeded all of our expectations. It was spotlessly clean, the finish and little touches are extremely luxurious. The setting is beautiful and very private, we did not see another person during our stay.
An extra thank you for helping my husband organise unbelievably beautiful flowers, lovely chocolates and champagne to be in the cottage when we arrived - fantastic customer service.
We ate at 2 of the establishments recommend in the very useful welcome email (The Highwayman and Plato’s), definitely both worth a visit!
The cow shed is highly recommended, we did not want to leave and would love to come back one day.



Stunning property and views.

The cow shed is a stunning property in a beautiful location. It has everything you could need for a couple of nights of luxury including Hot tub with amazing views! Robes and slipper were a lovely surprise as was the welcome pack.
Ideally placed to visit Yorkshire dales or the lakes.
Would highly recommend!

Wow, we were taken aback by how beautiful our cottage was. The cottage was spotlessly clean and modern, high speck. quality sheets, towels, bathrobes and slippers. It was in a beautiful secluded spot, next to a brook. So peaceful and private with it's own hot tub, which was bliss.

Unfortunately a lot of restaurants in Kirkby Lonsdale were closed, or had restricted opening times. The Crossing Point Cafe in Kirkby Lonsdale was very good for lunch time snack and they were very welcoming. The Lunesdale pub in Tunstall is excellent it's about a 20 minute drive from The Cow Shed,best steak I've had for a long time, again the staff were very welcoming and definitely worth a visit. I would recommend that you book a table ahead of time with any of the restaurants.

Booths supermarket has lovely fresh produce and is about a 10 minute drive. The cottage has 2 ovens, kettle, a saucepan and crockery etc, and Fridge. However you couldn't cook a dinner there, just reheat food.
We received a lovely welcome pack, with wine, home made cookies, nespresso coffee and milk.

Windermere is worth a visit and is about half an hour away. We took a boat over to Ambleside which is a pretty little town.

My tip would be to bring a tourch with you to use going from car to cottage, as it's very dark when coming in at night. Also bring some repellent to keep those pesky midges away.

Stephen, Julie and team were very helpful.

We had a lovely relaxing stay, so peaceful with beautiful scenery. We would definitely recommend The Cow Shed, and hopefully will return soon.

From the minute we arrived to the time we had to leave was perfect. Everything you need in an absolutely stunning location. To simply hear birds and the stream were so idyllic and we came away feeling completely rested. You can spend a busy few hours in the lakes and return to this amazing location, sit in the hot tub with a glass of whatever you like and simply chill. Thank you so much for a truly lovely break.

We stayed at the cowshed between Xmas and New Year and luckily before we were locked down again!
We had 2 days of fantastic walks and enjoyed the hot tub even though it was freezing as once you were in it was very relaxing. My only very small criticism was a couple of essentials missing from the kitchen like a tea towel and bread knife - but our lovely host kindly lent us one of her own. Overall a lovely stay we will be back Tgank you.

Enjoyed our lovely stay at the magical cow shed and would highly recommend. Just a couple of minor issues just keeping it (in our opinion) from being a 5* all round experience. The bed is way too firm even for me who likes a firm bed its super tough and doesn't make for a great nights sleep. The hot tub is not as warm as you would expect and we think this is due to the lid being a bit worn and not fitting properly and letting some heat out. Lastly if you are going to leave coffee pods, tea bags and milk, perhaps also leave a bit of sugar for the sweet tooths among us. This is us being super picky and I must stress none of which detracted from what was a fabulous stay and is our honest feedback only.

The accommodation was spotless and had everything we needed.
Even though the weather was poor we enjoyed the hot tub and our stay there. We would like to come back when it's warmer to take advantage of location and to be able to sit outside

It’s a beautiful little space in an amazing setting. Very clean! Lovely little living space with modern kitchen and a big TV. Bed is a great size and there’s a nice big shower. The location is what sets this apart, you’re completely immersed in the countryside. Relaxing in the hot tub with the sound of the stream flowing behind is fantastic.

We booked the Cow Shed for a relaxing weekend away. The cottage is beautiful and the customer service was equally as good. It is based roughly 10/15 minutes from the centre of Kirkby Lonsdale which has plenty of lovely bars and restaurant, we pre-booked our taxi & restaurants/bars.
We will definitely be booking again in the future. Thank you!

Spent 3 nights in the Cowshed on 9th August 2020.
Warm welcome by the owner Stephen plus a nice welcome pack of wine and cake waiting for us.
What you see on the website is what you get. Beautifully furnished, modern interior and a great view from the hot tub of the stream running alongside the property.
More than adequate kitchen equipment, 2 multi ovens including a built in microwave, utensils, cleaning products and antibacterial handwash in the kitchen and bathroom.
Many thanks to Sarah, Tony and Tricia for your snippets of advice and chats.
Cuddles to Pepper and Tolly.
Had a lovely stay and would highly recommend the Cowshed, would definitely return.

I booked the cow shed as a 30th birthday surprise for my partner. We were already excited about our stay from what we had seen online and it exceeded our expectations. The cottage was finished to a really high standard and thoroughly cleaned for our arrival. The most beautiful secluded spot, we spent most of our time on the deck with the hot tub perfectly positioned facing the stream. Will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

The property is a perfect getaway location and the views from the hot tub are great. On arrival there was a cleaning tick list to highlight all the extra cleaning measures in place to help put people at ease in the current climate. The Cow Shed is kitted out with everything you need for a nice break, I especially liked the built in wine cooler. Located in a lovely idyllic location and there is a Yorkshire dales walk which you can jump straight on. Would highly recommend.

We attended the premise for our 4 year Anniversary, and what just blown away.
From the cleanliness, little gifts and just the entire experience was in our opinion second to none.
We enjoyed all the facilities and after a long hike we enjoyed the hot tub in the evening overlooking scenic views and hearing the rushing of the stream below.
Truly amazing, we sent a message directly to thank the proprietors for such an incredible stay. We will be back!
Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Thank you for making it one to remember. X

We had a fantastic couple of days at Millhouse, and will definitely be returning and trying some of the other properties. The Cowshed was immaculate, providing everything you needed for a short stay. The hot tub is well placed to take in the stunning views across the hills. Loved the welcome booklet which directed us to the various amenities nearby, which we took advantage of during our stay.

We stayed in the dog house last time we visited but saw this one offered a hot tub so celebrated our anniversary in the cow shed! Fantastic. It’s all just right, the kitchen is just enough for 2 people to cook in. The only 2 things for me was the tv didn’t seem to receive ‘normal’ channels so we watched plenty of Netflix and iplayer as the weather wasn’t very good. Second thing is the bed is very firm, just too much for me but it wouldn’t stop me going again

We really enjoyed our stay, the cow shed is very cosy with every amenity you could need for a short stay. It’s is very nicely furnished and maintained. We loved the outdoor area and the hot tub made it extra special, with lovely views while you relax. Couldn’t fault it at all however we do think that a sign on the main road would be useful as we took the correct turn but were unsure if we were heading the right way!! Also couldn’t find a tin opener but again no big deal. All in all a pretty perfect stay, we are already planning to return again in a few months.

First time staying around Kirkby Lonsdale as we normally drive through en route to the Lakes where we have a family property. Excellent conversion, unfortunately not staying long enough to enjoy walks in the surrounding countryside which must be sublime in the Spring.
Looking forward to trying other properties in the portfolio also.
Many thanks.

The weather wasn't brilliant when we arrived but we soon put the weather behind us and relaxed in the hot tub. The cottage was beautiful every detail was catered for, from the dressing gowns to the candles and the bottle of wine and cake. We loved our short stay and the next day the weather picked up and we walked into Kirby Lonsdale and back.

We had a wonderful two night stay at this stunning cottage, hot tub over looking the brook on a semi private patio is beautiful. Very quiet location with lots of public footpaths around if you are a keen walker. We arrived at cottage to a lovely bottle of wine and lemon drizzle cake which we though was a wonderful touch, cottage was all ready when we arrived. My only couple of negatives are the sky light in the bedroom is right over the bed and need a blind as sun comes in at 5am so no layin for us, patio needs more plants covering side as it looks onto main house so only semi private, single track road leading from main road needs mirrors on some of corners as there are no padding points, and cutting back at sides and top as there is no visibility of on coming cars which feels very dangerous when on them and you can't see what's coming. But overall our stay was great and relaxing.

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at The Cow Shed. It is a very special place. Whilst the lane is narrow, there are several passing points and hardly any traffic at all. The Cow Shed is completely private and the owners take great care to protect their own privacy and that of guests.

Words cannot justify this amazing place, it has to be experienced!
Two nights was definitely not enough for us and the unseasonably poor weather didn't put a dent in our stay!

We had a wonderful short break at The Cow Shed. It is located in the most amazing spot overlooking a stream and waterfall. Everything in the property was completed to the highest of standards and it was immaculate. We look forward to returning

Loved our stay here to celebrate my 60th birthday. We were very pleasantly surprised when we got there at the excellent facilities and of how peaceful it was. Lots of info provided on places to visit and where to eat. Would love to go again.

We spent 2 nights here in April. We were absolutely delighted with the beautiful accommodation. Every thing you needed was provided, down to robes and slippers. This property is every bit as beautiful as it is in the pictures. When you walk out of the bedroom's sliding doors onto the decking, it is just gorgeous. A hot tub with a view to take your breath away. We didn't want to leave and will definitely be back again.

Loved our stay at the cow shed. Decor is so modern and clean. Everything felt like luxury! Loved the dressing gown and slippers. The welcome pack was very well put together and helpful.
It was so peaceful here, I loved listening to the sfream from the cottage or the hot tub and the view was breath taking when it snowed. The communication from Julie was exceptional. We received directions and arrived with ease. Had no trouble getting there. I have recommended to so many people already and I would definitely return

Photos don’t do justice to this beautiful cottage! It was even better than what we anticipated.
If you’re wanting a proper break this is what you need. The cottage is located in a beautiful rural area so is extremely peaceful and relaxing with the added hot tub which looks out on to the Yorkshire dale hills to a beautiful little stream.
In the bedroom there’s also a peep hole to look up at the sky whilst you’re in bed which was wonderful on clear night skies as you could see the stars as you fell asleep.
The cottage is extremely clean from every aspect and was enjoyable to its full potential due to the kindness of Stephen and Julie supplying complimentary bath robes and slippers for the hot tub.
Stephen and Julie are great hosts and welcome any queries you may have. Stephen even parked my car for me in the snow and icy weather conditions. They truly went above and beyond.
Worth every penny, can’t wait to come back! We thoroughly enjoyed this stay in The Cow Shed and felt extremely special.
Thank you Stephen and Julie!

We loved our stay at the Cow Shed. The location is beautiful, very peaceful and relaxing. The hot tub on the terrace has a lovely view of the beck, its lovely to sit and listen to the water. The cottage itself is very well done, very modern and comfortable, the underfloor heating keeps it really warm and cosy. Loved the big smart TV and good wifi which meant we could watch Netflix etc. The welcome pack was a lovely touch, as were the dressing gowns and slippers provided. Thank you for a lovely stay, we hope to be back!

What a gorgeous setting... away from the mad bustle of normal life, in the middle of nowhere but an absolute haven. We would recommend daily walks to the local pubs but nights in enjoying the hot tub and home cooking. Kitchen facilities are limited but manageable if you do want to stay in. The location is so gorgeous though you just want to make the most of the hot tub and cosy environment of the Cow Shed, so toasty and comfy. We couldn’t fault it.

Went for a weekend away with my partner. She said she wanted a hot tub so I found this little gem. When we arrived the cottage was warm and welcoming. There was a bottle of wine put out for our arrival which was excellent after a 5 hour drive. Could not recommend this place enough! Excellent location excellent views and all the facilities were fantastic!

A secluded peaceful location for a relaxing break. Definitely 5 star property, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a weekend away.
The hot tub was amazing! And we will definitely be back.

Julie and Stephen were available to respond to any queries and ensured we had everything we needed. Everything was as described on the website.

What a place for the perfect escape. The location is fantastic, right next to a stream with you can view whilst sat relaxing in the hot tub and even wonder down to and view from the newly build small bridge. The facilities have everything that you need and the living area and kitchen is a good size and the tv huge. The dressing area between the living area and the bedroom is great and plenty of space for clothes etc. The bedroom is big with a very large bed and comfortable mattress and plenty of pillows and cushions. Bathroom facilities spot on and lovely hot water all the time. The heating was great and under floor heating great. Only a short drive to some nice local pubs and only 10 minutes to Kirby Lonsdale. We will definitely return.

The pictures on the website do not do this place justice, it is so much bigger and nicer than they show. We were really impressed by the standards and the finishing touches like the dressing gowns and wine and biscuits. The hot tub was lovely with the view and sounds of the beck. The only downfall was we were told we could have stayed longer as no one was booked in after us, but we were already packed up and returning to our car, or we would have definitely stayed a couple of hours longer. Hope to come back in future! Thank you so much!

The Cow Shed is stunning in a very peaceful location. We stayed for two nights to celebrate our wedding anniversary and communication with Julie was brilliant. The welcome pack was a lovely touch as were the robes and slippers. This is a very well thought out accommodation with top end furniture and fixtures and to top it all a hot tub to sit in and relax admiring the views with a glass of fizz. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone thinking of booking and hopefully we'll be back to celebrate our next anniversary. Thank you.

A beautifully renovated tiny barn that is bijou and cosy, the Cow Shed is a perfect cottage for a couple to have a few days away in a remote romantic location. The property is a contemporary luxury space that was spotlessly clean and we were made to feel welcome when we met the owners, Julie & Stephen, who live very nearby.
Would recommend.

The cowshed is exactly as described and is in the most stunning location. The views are beautiful and we particularly enjoyed walking on the fell-side where we didn’t see anybody else and just chilling on the decking area or in the hot tub. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The cowshed itself is luxurious and beautifully presented. There are limited cooking facilities which is stated on the description but this was not at all an issue as there are lots of lovely eateries within a short drive. If I was being super critical, a larger kettle and a toaster would have been good, but that is a very minor point in what was a gorgeous property and we had a wonderful stay.
We have used Mill House Cottages before staying at The Paddock and Settlebeck and the standard of these properties are exceptionally high , we would definately use them again and looking forward to trying out some of their other locations.

We loved our stay at the cow shed. Our hosts were lovely and accommodating, the day before we arrived we contacted them to ask what rules and regulations were about bbqs, as the weekend was forecast good weather. They kindly arranged for a charcoal bbq to be at the cow shed for when we arrived. The location was perfect, very tranquil and picturesque. We were impressed with the quality of touches like the towels, pool towels and robes and the hot tub was amazing, making the stay extra special.

Myself and my husband booked the cowshed as a short break, just the 2 of us. It was truly outstanding. Everything from the location to the way the cowshed was decorated was more than we could have hoped for. The hot tub on the decking with the beautiful stream as our view. Just perfect. The owners were so friendly and helpful too. We would definitely book through mill house cottages againin the future. Jo & Lee.

We stayed at the Cow Shed for a weekend in June. They have a number of properties - the Farmhouse itself lived in by the owners and further holiday cottages (Mill cottages). The Cow Shed essentially appears to sit in the back garden of the farmhouse and next to the holiday cottages. It is not in complete isolation but it did still feel quite private - particularly as we were told the owners were away, had they not been it may have felt a bit different.
The Cow Shed itself has clearly been done to a high specification inside there is quite a fancy kitchenette in terms of the cupboards, 2 ovens and a dishwasher yet a mini hob and no microwave. Most people wouldn't want to be cooking but it seemed a bit of an odd combo but it doesn't matter. There's both a wine fridge and regular fridge and they left us a pint of milk, some muffins and a bottle of wine for arrival.
The bed is very comfy, nice linens and the bathrobes are a nice touch, especially if you want to wander in and out and use the hot-tub. The hot tub is lovely, located by the stream, that did mean for us in June it was a horsefly/midge paradise, so somethign to be aware of - pack some citronella candles maybe!
Location - I think it is described as a 30min walk to nearby village with pub, Barbon. If you jog maybe. We tracked it on our phone, it's 2.5miles to the pub (50minutes or so). Kirkby Lonsdale is about a 20minute drive away.

In summary if you want to get away for a weekend with the other half and just chill out, it's a good spot!

We had a lovely stay at The Cow Shed! It really is a little gem of a place in a stunning location. The interior is very tastefully designed and the complementary extras such as robes, slippers, wine and muffins were a great touch and made our short break that much more special. The hot tub by the river was truly relaxing and all facilities in the cottage itself were superb. Although the place itself is on the small side, the space is perfectly designed and indeed lived up to my 5* expectations. My only reservation was that there could have been a blind on the skylight in the bedroom, as we were woken up quite early by the bright morning light beaming down over the bed. Also perhaps there could be some kind of fence around the decking area behind the hot tub to ensure full privacy. But apart from that this place is the definition of luxury and I will definitely be recommending it to my friends and family. Thank you, we had a wonderful stay!

We had a lovely stay in the super cosy cow shed. We had directions to get there which are needed as it is tucked away. The emphasis here is on privacy and you are left to settle in by yourself which is fine by us. Everything is laid out and we had some wine and cake waiting for us! We soon got settled in and unpacked in the lovely bedroom with a charming four post bed.
We put the underfloor heating on straight away as it was a very cold day. It took a while to warm up but when it did it was very warm and cosy. The next day it snowed heavily so we decided prosecco and hot tub was the way to go. Perfect with the snow coming down and the river burbling away besides us. We then decided to walk to the barbon inn for lunch. What a lovely walk and great place. Such a warm welcome. Steve had phoned ahead and said we were on our way. We had steak sandwiches and beer by the fire. We chatted with everyone there before buying some local jam from a local resident and then some supplies from the shop and off we went back home to relax and watch Netflix on the huge TV.
We had a superb stay. If you want quiet and relaxation in a cosy environment then this place is perfect. And looking up at the stars from the hot tub is a wonderful way to spend an evening. All round excellent.
My only gripe was there was only one roll of toilet paper. Other than that it was perfect.

A beautiful getaway with amazing views and fantastic hosts! The directions to the place were spot on (and indeed required) and it was apparent from the moment we got there that our hosts were both thoughtful and welcoming. The place was finished to a very high standard and the hot tub was a dream with the most stunning views of the hill-side. The bed was very comfy indeed and we both slept very well in the lovely warm surroundings despite the snowy conditions outside! The place is within a reasonably short distance of a fine dining restaurant which we went to on Saturday night (Hipping Hall) and there were also local recommendations left for us inside. Julie and Ste were great hosts and were always on hand if required. They also very generously let us check out late on our final day which meant we could make the most of the wonderful accommodation. I would have no hesitation in coming back again and hope to do so soon!
