The Cowshed Greenhill Reviews

Karen
We loved the bungalow it was very warm and comfortable. We will definitely book this bungalow again. Thank you for the welcome pack it was a lovely surprise and to have tea and coffee available and milk it meant we could have a welcomed drink after a long journey. Just two things that you could think of doing is Maybe there could be some dvds too watch as we didnââ?¬â?¢t realise there was a dvd player available. And 2nd Have bigger towels . But they are just ideas ðŸâ??¡ not a criticism. Thank you ðŸË?Å
Alyson
We love staying at the Cowshed. Our dogs, 2 corgis and a Lurcher all enjoy the garden. We know they are safe running around once we have closed the gate, although if you have a very small dog or a dog that is prone to jumping fences weââ?¬â?¢d recommend keeping an eye on them. The house itself is lovely, big comfy sofas to sit on in the lounge, and a kitchen with a big range cooker. There are some wonderful dog friendly places and beaches to visit nearby. Weââ?¬â?¢ve already booked for next year.
Lee
Donââ?¬â?¢t bother looking at any where else ! excellent location and facilities , beautifully set out with every thing you would want , Plenty of room for 4 people and 4 dogs A place where you donââ?¬â?¢t want to even go out for the day Thoroughly enjoyed the stay
Michelle
Cottage was lovely, nice welcome pack and milk in the fridge on arrival. Lovely big garden for dogs and very quiet and rural.
Stephen
On arrival cottage looked nice, there is no mention of gradient from roadway as picture deceiving, step into property is high for someone with a disability as my wife has. Not very clean and needs some TLC, could have done with better secure fencing and more privacy Dishwasher was dirty and old food in it, stopped working contacted number given and was 2 hours away and could not help
Dawn
Our 4th year at the Cowshed, spacious cottage in a lovely quiet location with Saunton sands only 10-15 minute drive away. Garden secure for our 4 dogs. Off road parking, everything you need.
Kim
Love love love. This cottage is wonderful so well equipped. Comfy beds. Extremely clean. Contacted housekeeping a couple of times she was wonderful so understanding and helpful. We heard from the owner very quickly and our problem was solved. Nothing major or serious only put on here to show how good they are. Highly recommend ðŸâ??Å?
Gilly
We arrived to warm & lovely accommodation everything was clean & well equipped. The garden is great for the dogs safe & secure . Comfortable beds & lovely fresh towels . We had a great time very relaxed enjoyed the choccies & bubbles especially as it was my sonââ?¬â?¢s birthday ðŸŽâ?°!! Thank you !! It was a fabulous weekend in a lovely home & will definitely be back xx
Sarah
This is a beautiful cottage in a perfect area. Well equipped and furnished and very clean. Close to amazing beaches. No instructions for anything, so some difficulty working things out especially heating which we needed. Garden fence not secure for big dogs. Been 7 years ago disappointed itââ?¬â?¢s not sorted by now. Too low but amazing garden so is a shame. These things frustrating more than anything. Donââ?¬â?¢t want the dog on a lead in the garden on holiday. Despite this we will be back
Sally
Lovely cottage and quiet location, the underfloor heating could be topped up with electric heaters in the bedrooms. The garden was lovely for the dogs. Generous sized cooker and dishwasher.
Will
Cowshed was well equipped and clean. A few comments. Bathroom too cold, no seperate heating. Overall underfloor heating took a while to make much of a difference. Car parking could have been easier. Car parked on a steep slope, not easy to get in and out. Location close to Wind Farm not mentioned on prospectus! Barn conversion "Bullocks" not mentioned in prospectus but next door . - Fortunately empty. Written directions could be clearer. Charge per dog quite expensive.
Miriam
Lovely cottage in lovely location. Had a lovely week apart from the cold cottage. For that reason, I only gave 3 stars for comfort. Could have been more welcoming after a 3 hour drive.
Ms Karen Living
Lovely cottage, lovely location, just a little cold in January heating could be better.
Andrew
Isolated location. Beautiful clean and tidy cottage with everything you could need. The enclosed garden was good for us with dogs. And surprisingly only ten minutes away from Woolacombe and Saunton beaches. We will be back
Andrew
We loved it, very comfortable and well equipped. Location is quite remote and the lanes can be a challenge getting to and from the cottage but then that was also part of the charm for us. Nice outside space for our dog too.
Christina
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the really beautiful cowshed and with breathtaking peaceful surroundings. The cottage was very well equipped and really cosy. Thank you. Christina
Michelle
Lovely cottage, great garden for the dogs nice and quiet with lovely views
Jenny
An enjoyable holiday for us but very remote. Large garden fully enclosed for our two dogs which they loved. The garden and drive on quite a slope.
Dawn
This was our third year at The Cowshed, clean, good location for walking the dogs on the beach, secure garden. Two en-suite bedrooms. Would highly recommend.
Janet
LOVELY LOCATION.PLENTY OF WALKING FOR DOGS, BEACHES, AND MUDDIFORD INN FOR WONDERFUL FOOD
