The Cow Shed is a nice cottage on a farm. It’s very private and quiet, and the cottage is well equipped inside. There is an EV charger in a barn which worked well, and was 45p a KwH. The cottage came with plenty of towels, a welcome basket of treats, and some eggs from the farm which was a nice touch.The track in and out of the farm is a bit bumpy and the road up to the farm from Tiverton is a single track with a few pull in spots but we only saw a few other cars on that road.It’s a good base to explore Devon and further afield with most of our day trips being about an hour away.
