Had a wonderful stay at The Old CowShed. Would highly recommend it, hosts were very friendly and helpful. Lovely to have use of a hot tub which we used every day. Everything in the accommodation was well thought out. Great location to explore the island and we were so lucky with the weather. Would definitely like to return one day, one of the nicest places we’ve stayed.
