Very well presented lodge. Clean and comfortable. Owners provided everything we could've needed for our stay, as well as some thoughtful extras. Beautiful, peaceful location within driving distance of many Dorset attractions. Highly recommend.
Joanne
Oh my lord, we had the best time. Nick made the stay so easy and welcoming from the wine and chocolates to washing up liquid. The Cow Shed is a beautiful and relaxing place to stay and we will be back. The whole place is immaculate with great details, it feels like someone has just said "what do I like" and implied it all. We had teenagers with useRead more who enjoyed is and loved the hot tub. Hide

Very good spacious accommodation home from home. Everthing you could want from a self catering holiday. Beds were very comfortable and to have an on suite to both bedrooms was lovely. The hot tub is a bonus and very good to come home to at the end of the day.

Claire
We had the most amazing time at The Cow Shed. The accommodation is absolutely beautiful and has been designed to perfection. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the location is extremely secluded and peaceful. Everything was immaculate and we even wondered if anyone had ever stayed there before! The kitchen was very well equipped and had every thing we needed to cook a full meal. The hot tub on the decking was a real treat. The lodge had also been decorated for Christmas-a lovely surprise.
Stephen
Stayed in the cowshed for 3 nights. Such a lovely family retreat. Very quiet and extremely clean would recommend to anyone.
Katharine
Lovely place to stay. Very comfortable and peaceful location. Has everything you need and more. Set out rather like a posh caravan park. In between Sherborne which is beautiful with lovely shops/cafes and Yeovil which is the total opposite. Recommend Tamburino Gold in Sherborne for delicious Italian dinner.
Mike
We had a wonderful week in The Cow Shed, it was extremely clean, well equipped and very comfortable. It is a great base for visiting historical sites, beautiful gardens and beaches. I would recommend it to anyone.
Jackie
Lovely spacious property. Nice decor and very comfortable beds! A couple of minor issues (one was just a question about the heating) were immediately dealt with by the owner.
Anna
Beautiful luxury shed, we had an amazing time there. Lovely views and very peaceful.
mark

Stephen
A really wonderful place to stay
andrea
This was a little piece of heaven! Absolutely blown away by the set up, the owners had thought about EVERYTHING a family needed. The lodge was so beautiful, away from the world, quiet and super cozy. Our kids had so much space to play inside and out. The hot tub was lush and the side entrance to jump straight into the shower was a genius idea. Hone stly we didnt want to leave and have already recommended this place to family and friends.
