  • David

    Property was warm and also has a log burner to use if desired but it was so cosy, even in March, we didn't need it. The kitchen was well equipped and included lots of crockery and cutlery. The location was perfect for us with loads of walks right from the accommodation. Holme has very few facilities - though would highly recommend The Fleece Inn opposite the property - but Holmfirth is a short drive away where there's loads of cafes and restaurants. We'll definitely be returning to the Cow Shed; it was fab!

  • Roger

    Well equipped, ideal location opposite The Fleece pub, which serves take away as well as in-house dining. Catherine was a great host. She was friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our week long stay.

  • Martin

    The property was outstandingly clean, comfortable and spacious. The location for walking in the Peak District was second to none, and for access to one of the best pubs around (The Fleece Inn). Owners were more than hospitable, very accessible, and extremely friendly and helpful. We would not hesitate to return.
