Cottage in a lovely quiet position, very peaceful. Good location for getting around the island. Easy access with key safe, cottage very clean upon arrival. Beds comfy, bed linen and towels good quality. Kitchen reasonably well equipped but not if you seriously wanted to cook. Plentiful hot water for efficient shower but as large boiler is situated in the living area, in good weather it gets very hot in there. The wooden chairs and table in the garden area are quite worn with one chair strut split on the seat. Nice chocolate cake left for us but would perhaps be better to leave small bottle of milk and a few teabags for guests not bringing them - we had ordered a Waitrose food delivery to arrive between 5pm and 6pm so no cup of tea until then! We had an issue with the toaster not working but the lovely housekeeper very quickly bought us a new replacement. Overall lots of good points but a few minor issues that could easily be remedied. ...

We booked all the barns for a large family holiday. The Cattle Byre was great and well kitted out. A lovely peaceful setting. Definitely recommend it!

We had a problem with a non working towel rail and an intermittent working not working ventilation fan. The shower head was split as we discovered on our arrival. Fair play that one of your lovely ladies turned up with a new one and assured us the towel rail would be fixed.... It wasn't...and just made drying towels difficult. The dishwasher wasn't properly cleaned the filter was full of old food .... It didn't detract from the holiday but we felt that the Byre wasn't really properly checked before we arrived. We will give you 7.5 but if the property had been properly checked it would of been 10. ...

We really enjoyed our stay at the Cattle Byre. It was in a lovely rural location and very peaceful. I enjoyed watching the pheasants in the field behind the cottage. It was very comfortable and everything we needed was provided for us. We would definitely recommend it. ...
