The Cowshed

THE TWINKLE IN OUR EYE
SLEEPS SIX

We hope you will be greatly a-moo-sed by the legen-dairy Cowshed.

A playful but subtle farmyard theme runs throughout this tent and it’s milking-parlour green enamel lamps and cow-skin rug are an udder joy. The Cowshed is the twinkle in our eye and ensures a smile on even the most austere of faces. At nightfall, why not bask in the eco hot tub and have a soothing, moo-d-lifting massage. And of course, feel free to stay up pasture bedtime 😉

Inside each open-plan tent you’ll find all the modern day essentials along with a few of life’s little luxuries including vintage books, nostalgic board games and a few unearthed and repurposed curiosities.

Some extra luxuries
Included in your stay is sufficient firewood as well as a bag of charcoal and kindling and a box of eco firelighters.

Two round copper tinted mirrors of different sizes hang on the wooden wall.
The upcyled Mobil can has been turned into a bench that sits proudly on the Cowshed deck.

Beds

Each tent sleeps up to 6 adults: a double room with a king size bed and a room with a bunkbed (the bunks sleep adults too!) and a cabin bed (also king size) for those curious little travellers. All our beds are wonderfully comfortable with fresh soft cotton sheets & a warm duvet cover.

Your sleep is important to us!

Bathroom

Each tent has a luxurious en-suite bathroom with underfloor heating, heated towel rails, a walk-in shower and a lovingly hand-painted bathtub. The bathroom is within the tent so there’s no fear of getting cold feet when heading to the bathroom in the night!
