The Calf Shed was a superb little cottage.. Clever layout, practical, clean, warm, well equipped. Really lovely and suited us perfectly The down side was Cottages written communication before and during the stay. It need to be relevant, factually accurate and preferably more succinct This should not reflect negatively on the Calf Shed nor the owner, as they were great
