De cottage zelf is heel mooi. De hygiene laat te wensen over. De vloeren waren vuil, de matrassen van de bedden in de tweede slapkamer zijn aan vervanging toe. Voor 4 personen is het servies ontoereikend en wat er is, is beschadigd. In de badkamer is er buiten de douche, een erg klein wasbakje (afmeting van een een wasbakje dat je in een toilet verwacht.)De verwarming in de (huis)kamer deed het niet. Nergens een beschrijving te vinden hoe de diverse apparatuur werkt (of niet werkt). Cottages.com zou in hun bevestiging aan de klant moeten opnemen waar het sleutelkastje hangt (korte beschrijving van de werking ervan wordt op prijs gesteld.) Wij hebben er een week doorgebracht en niet één keer is de eigenaar even langs geweest om te vragen van hoe of wat. Jammer.De ligging is rustig en als bovenstaande zaken worden verbeterd, is het een leuke gelegenheid om ja vakantie door te brengen.

We enjoyed a very pleasant and relaxed week at the Cowshed. There are plenty of small roads to walk your dog and the farm has large green spaces if its inconvenient to take your dog for a walk. The property is located a short drive from Blofield with its shops and close to a new retail park with a budget supermarket for those wishing to stock up on essentials or to cater for themselves.

I would whole heartedly recommend the cowshed to anyone seeking a well appointed and quiet place to stay. Reached by single track road you certainly need transport to stay here. A wonderful place, comfortable and warm.
