Our long weekend at the Cow Shack was very chilled. The location is well off the beaten path, but all the more relaxing for that. Tanya, our host, was fantastic - we enjoyed excellent communication before arriving and during our stay and she was very welcoming. The property is well appointed and offered a compact but genuinely comfortable living space downstairs with a spacious bedroom, dressing room & large shower/wc room upstairs. The kitchen was well equipped and provided all that we needed. The linked twin super-king bed was very comfortable and the linen was pristine. As a couple, if we were taking a short break in Mid-Devon again, we'd happily go back to the Cow Shack. Thank you Tanya.

Very quiet location, photos miss selling the apartment as none of the grass areas are accessible for dogs, only area for a dog is the gravel area outside and walking along the single track roads which isn’t ideal. so my dog wasn’t really able to exercise without taking on a car journey. Net curtains either side of the door offered no privacy when dark outside as could see in with lights on. Nice touch by owners leaving tea, coffee, milk, biscuits & dog treats. Is a nice retreat if you don’t have a pet. Was shocked to see next year’s price has increased by 100% so won’t be returning.
