The Cow Shed

Need to put more comfortable stools to breakfast bar better sofa and chair shower would be quite difficult for elderly

We had a lovely stay here.

It is in a great location for exploring Padstow and the seven bays. The information in the cottage folder was helpful and informative. The outside space was very nice, sadly to chilly in the evening for us, but it was lovely to have breakfast out there in the morning. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedroom was comfortable, a good night sleep was had by all. Having no TV was a great way to switch off and the addition of the radio was brilliant. Personally I found the sofa and the wicker chair in the lounge area uncomfortable. But overall we enjoy our stay in a cosy, peaceful cottage. Thank you.

This is such a fab little place to stay, lovely amenities and great distance to the beaches, we’ve already recommended to our family and they’re looking to book soon too!

We really enjoyed our stay, the facilities within the property were brilliant.

We have stayed in several different cottages and always bring, cleaning bits and sugar, tea etc, but the cow shed provided all, there was even shower gel and shampoo. The property does not have a TV, but this did not impact on our stay. The location gave easy access to various towns, most around a 30 minute drive. The Cow Shed was spotlessly clean with a lovely outside seating area. The photo’s on the website suggested we were right next to a beach, but the drive to the nearest beach was around a 10 minutes. We were even able to walk to another house to purchase fresh eggs! We would recommend anyone staying there, great for a couple who want to get away from their busy lives, peaceful and quiet! Feel recharged following our stay

So glad we found this hidden gem.

You have obviously spent a great deal of time and thought into what you have to offer. We have loved staying here and exploring the beautiful local area. Many thanks.

So pleased to have found this lovely quiet spot to stay so close to Porthcothan.

Lots of lovely details which made the stay very comfortable and relaxing. Everything that we needed for a lovely holiday. Thank you.

We had an amazing stay here in the "Cowshed".

The facilities are amazing, such a beautiful and quiet spot. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay here. It has been a brilliant week, very relaxing and the weather has been amazing too. Best wishes.

We had a lovely peaceful week in the "Cowshed".

The weather was good, so a few days on the beach. So quiet and private up here, also we had everything we needed here. Lots of birds visiting the garden and plenty of birds singing. Thanks for a lovely stay.

We had a lovely stay at the Cowshed.

Weather could have been better so it was always nice to come back and dry off. We particularly loved the privacy and wish we could have made more of the outdoor space - the rose bush came into full bloom while we were here, which was a real treat. Thank you.

We had a fantastic stay at the Cow Shed.

Everything we needed and more! Lots of lovely little touches and so much provided for our arrival. Wonderful stay. Mawgan Porth has more than enough for our short stay- and we can't wait to come back. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for a lovely stay at the Cow Shed.

Such an amazing find perfect for visiting the superb coastline in this area. The accommodation is cleverly thought out and very well appointed we had everything we could possibly need during our short break. Your recommendations in Information Book were invaluable in helping make the most of our time here, much appreciated! We wish we could have stayed much longer but hopefully this gives us an excuse for a return visit! We loved Porthtowan Bay. We were lucky enough to have a wonderful sunny afternoon here before checking in on our first day. Plenty of parking at the Pay and display car park just at the bottom of the hill to the right (we missed the [P] sign on our first approach & had to turn round & come back) and loads of room on the beach given that it is July school holidays. We tried McDonald's Farm for dinner on our first night - 20 minute walk. Great Pizzas although we were a bit unlucky with the weather as drizzle had set in by this point. On Day 2 we parked at Park Head N.T. car park and did the circular walk down to Porth Meor Cove, Pentire Steps Beach - Bedruthan Steps. Park Head car park. Absolutely stunning coastal scenery. enjoyed a traditional steak pasty on the beach from Porthcothan Stores for lunch - amazing! We then headed for Mawgan Porth for a well earned pint the Merrymoor Inn and enjoyed the beach views. On Day 3 we parked at Constantine Bay (very limited parking there so we paid to park in the field a bit further up the road) and did the 6 mile walk around Trevose Head, taking in 4 of the 7 bays. Constantine, Booby's Bay, Mother Ivey's & Harlyn. Highly recommended.

Very peaceful, restful stay.

Wonderful beaches close by & some beautiful places to visit close by. Lovely dog exercise area in St Eval & great walks close to the location. Comfortable and a great stay.

Such a peaceful place to come for a few days to relax a bit busy life I got.

Weather was good too, also have a lot of family here too so nice to visit them. Best wishes.

I had the pleasure of spending three wonderful weeks here in this quiet and peaceful cottage, enjoying perfect weather.

I highly recommend the stretch of coast to Mawgan Porth, the Bedruthan steps, or the bus ride to Padstow. My batteries are recharged and tomorrow I'm setting off on foot along the SWCP. I am grateful for the precious time I was able to spend here in Engollan- and specifically The Cow Shed. Many thanks! P.S. The little hedgehog was there too :)

A lovely place to stay.

We made lovely walks along the coast path. Thank you for bringing us to the bus stop. We had a really nice time in The Cow Shed, a great place to be!

Fantastic week for scouring the beaches for crab and playing in the sea.

I even managed to fit in 3 beaches in one day! Loved my little homestay with lots of shells in the garden, especially when Mr Hedgehog and Mrs. Mouse came to visit!! Also loved all the walks around The Cow Shed and beyond. Will definitely be back if mummy and daddy let me!! Think we are all tired now and somewhere to sleep for a few days. P.S. Watch out for Mr Hedgehog behind the gate at night time!!

Not often somewhere is even better in the flesh than in the pictures - the perfect getaway spot - loved it!

Such a lovely hideaway - very peaceful and cosy.

Everything you need for comfort and practicalities. Such a wonderful coastline within a few minutes drive - amazing swathes of flowers at this time of year. So lovely to hear the birdsong around The Cow Shed. Porthcothan beach wonderful. Thanks for all the thought that went into setting this up. All best wishes.
