Reviews
Visited in October with two very elderly parents, both with restricted mobility. They both appreciated the features that made moving around the house and using the shower so safe and easy. All four of us found the property to be very peaceful and quiet. Inside, it is very comfortable and the wood stove blasts out extra heat when needed. There are different seating areas outside, so you can chase the sun. The waterproof cushions provided kept us comfortable even on a windy day. We expected much more farm noise, but there was very little disturbance. I expect that other potential visitors would be reassured to know how peaceful it was at the property.
Alison and Jim are welcoming and are keen you have the best stay at The Cow House. They have put much consideration into making the place both able bodied and disabled friendly. Alison approached us in advance of our stay to establish our specific needs. We appreciated that all facilities were on one level and having 3 bathrooms was a bonus. If you want to escape to the country then this place is ideal. You are on a working farm with minimal noise. Sheep graze in the fields and the pub is 1/2 a mile away.
