• "We had a lovely last minute 4 night stay at The Cow Shed."

  Everything was catered for, a well equipped kitchen, beautiful bathroom with large bath and walk in shower, very comfortable bed and open plan living room with a large television, books, jigsaws and games. Sarah, the owner, is extremely friendly and helpful and had left us some scones, homemade jam, butter and milk for our arrival, much appreciated. TheWelcome folder with information about The Cow Shed, amenities, days out etc was very helpful, I did enjoy reading the history of Pear Tree Farm. We will miss the greetings from Sarah’s dogs, especially the two labs, Cookie and Bailey, so very friendly every time we arrived back at the cottage after a day out. Even though the cow shed was on a working farm, it was very peaceful and secure. It’s in a beautiful place with walks from the doorstep, I would recommend a stay at The Cow Shed, especially if you have dogs, even if you don’t, it is perfect.

• "What a lovely holiday cottage."

  Every modern convenience you could wish for and the facilities were exceptional and spotlessly clean. Sarah, her family, and her dogs were so friendly and Sarah was very attentive to our needs but also gave us space to enjoy our holiday. The welcome basket was a lovely touch with fresh croissants, home-made marmalade and butter, a small jug of milk, and a bottle of Prosecco provided. Would definitely stay here again and would 100% recommend the cottage to anyone. Thank you, Sarah.

• "The cottage was beautiful with all the amenities you could want for a week’s stay, even down to dog treats and dog towels."

  The bathroom was luxurious with an amazing bath! The height of the ceilings added to the spaciousness of the living room and kitchen. When relaxing in the cottage the large tv provided brilliant viewing of the Olympics. The outside courtyard attached to the cottage was a really good size for our dogs to potter around and it was good to know they were safe and secure. The grounds of the farm gave us plenty of dog walks, one of which led us to the pretty canal where we picked blackberries to make jam. We made friends with the horses on the farm over the field fences and the farm dogs, particularly Cookie, who joined us for our daily walks. The owners couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly suggesting the best beaches to visit and helping us with parking. The Country Show in the next village was great and our dogs enjoyed taking part in the fun dog show categories. We visited York, the coast and wildlife reserves. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely rebook.

• "We enjoyed a lovely week staying at The Cow Shed."

  The cottage is spotlessly clean, very well equipped and very comfortable. We couldn’t fault it at all.. Sarah is a perfect host and there are lots of personal touches to ensure your holiday needs & comfort are met. And also those of the dog! Even providing some friends to play with! He also had a great time. The surroundings are peaceful and quite rural to make for a relaxing getaway. The cottage is well situated for exploring beautiful Yorkshire. We would have no hesitation in returning ourselves and recommending to other visitors.

• "Fabulous stay in a lovely property - it really was perfect for 2 of us and our black lab Pippa."

  Facilities were great - made it very easy to relax for our short stay. We stayed there as a base mainly to see family, although we did have a day out at Clumber Park - which was lovely, and thoroughly recommend. The property was peaceful, with plenty of space to take the dog for a walk, as well as an easy walk to the canal. We also thoroughly enjoyed Cookie's company frequently, she's gorgeous - loves a belly rub!! We will definitely book again if available when we next visit that part of the country.

• "The cottage was perfect!"

  We stayed over Christmas and Sarah was very accommodating, letting us check in early so we could avoid the Christmas traffic. There was even a Christmas hamper for us on arrival with some Yorkshire goodies! The cottage itself was ideal for two adults and a dog, there is a good oven (we cooked Xmas dinner for 6 in it!) it is beautifully decorated, clean, tidy, cosy and comfortable. Our dog loved it, as the farm is enclosed, you can walk safely straight from the cottage to fields, sometimes joined by the friendly farm dogs as well. As long as you are happy running in the roads, there are some lovely running routes through the countryside too. Couldn’t recommend this beautiful spot more highly.

  Sarah was a fantastic owner and it was a lovely little property that was clean and modern. A perfect escape. It was really lovely being welcomed by the dogs. Very homely setting and we really felt welcomed. Plenty of utensils at the property for cooking, nothing was missed. Very central to York, Lincoln, Doncaster and Hull if you are fancying a few City visits. Looking forward to booking again in the future.

• "What a fantastic stay!"

  Pictures look fabulous but it’s even better in real life. Sarah was so accommodating and friendly. Great location for a peaceful relaxing ‘baby moon’ before our little girl arrives in 7 weeks time. Property is a home from home, I especially enjoyed the big beautiful bath and outside area. Our dogs had a fantastic time and the farm dogs were so cute especially Cookie the black lab. Lots of lovely walks nearby especially by the canal. Fish lake Mill restaurant is a must along with the Old Butchers for lunch. Highly recommend, so much so we would have stayed an extra night however it’s that popular they were fully booked!

• "Just returned from a week at the Cow Shed at Pear Tree Farm."

  We had a great holiday. The cottage was extremely comfortable and spacious for two people (and our border collie). We wanted a relaxing holiday and that is exactly what we got. I had worked and played in one of the top colliery bands in this area (and the country) many years ago. I left in 1982 so the holiday was partly for sentimental reasons and to renew some acquaintances. Many of the former collieries are now country parks, which is excellent if you like us have a dog and/or just want to do a fair bit of walking (e.g. Frickley Country Park). The Trans Pennine Trail is also less than half a mile from the cottage. I had never heard of this before but there is plenty about the trail on the web. The trail mostly follows canal towpaths in this area. We also went to Sandall Beat Wood, near Doncaster Racecourse. All interesting and enjoyable. The owners were very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. The 'welcome pack' was also much appreciate on arrival. Their dogs were also friendly and it was good to see them most days. We have no hesitation in recommending the cow shed at pear tree farm.

  A very warm welcome by Sarah and her 4 beautiful dogs. This really made it special as occupied my dog who enjoyed meeting up daily for running in the vast surrounding area together. We both enjoyed the peace and quiet and friendly welcome and will certainly be returning to carry on with the many places to visit. Fantastic for its location and amazing walks. Certainly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy the countryside and relaxation with a very friendly welcome. Looking forward to our next visit. Rich, Marilyn and Tog.
