Had a really nice stay here for 3 nights with family, the dog and our little 5 month old boy.Good points: Living area is such a wonderful space. Lots of outlets, decent TV. Kitchen is lovely. There is a large fridge/freezer in the utility so lots of space which was great. Sofas were quite comfortable, great dining space.Travel cot and high chair was available. We used our own travel cot but the one provided was nice quality. High chair was fine although not used as little one is a bit young.Garden space was great for our little dog. Areas for improvement:Flushes on toilets sometimes didn’t work and the shower in the main bathroom was difficult to use. Frying pans were greasy and well past their ideal use as the non stick coating was peeling off so not ideal to cook with. Overall, it’s a lovely property and I would definitely return (I’d just bring my own frying pans!).

Absolutely loved our stay at the Cattle Sheds. The pictures (although very nice) do not do this place justice, it's absolutely huge. The owner next door was very helpful and available, should you require anything at all.Highly recommend
