Stayed at the CowShed for a sunny week in early June, and could have happily stayed all summer. The cottage is peaceful, on the edge of a small Devon village which has a pub and a community shop/cafe. The view over the countryside was beautiful, and the dog enjoyed the freedom of the meadow next to the cottage patio. The bed was so comfortable, and the house was well maintained, clean, and with plenty of books, DVDs and games. There was a giant slab of brownie provided when we arrived, with a bottle of local milk, which was wonderful. The host lives next door and happy to help with any questions and provide local tourism advice! There were swifts and swallows circling around the property all day, and loads of wildlife in the meadow and surrounding hedges - definitely recommend as a retreat for nature lovers!...

Tucked out of the way with good walks. Great paddock for dogs to run and play, which our 3 loved.

Our week at the Cow Shed made for a good base to explore Dartmoor. Very peaceful with a lovely outlook. The local shop was excellent along with a cafe. Sadly the pub doesn't serve food but it's a great place for an early evening drink with the locals. The nearby New Inn in Sampford Courtney served good food along with the Duke of York in Iddesleigh and The Kings Arms in Winkleigh. Top spots for walking were Lydford Gorge, the Teign Gorge river valley walk from Castle Drogo, Fernworthy reservoir and Hay Tor. A day at Topsham was a delight with a ferry ride across to The Turf Inn for a delicious fish and chip lunch. In the town there's a large antiques centre and an excellent museum with a lovely tea room....

Very relaxing property. So welcoming. Delicious cake on arrival and treats for our dog. Highly recommend.

A relaxing stay in a comfortable and well equipped cottage, fabulous grounds in which to wonder or sit and watch the wildlife whilst being completely dog safe and friendly. Lovely warm welcome from the hosts who couldn’t be more helpful, all together a perfect holiday....
