BUG review
The Lazy Cow is a small home with two dorm rooms. It has a sitting room with log fire, a TV with DVDs and a piano. The tiny, run down kitchen is often untidy and dorms are simple with good thick duvets on the beds. There is a barbecue and clean bathrooms (one with a spa bath), but otherwise there are not many facilities. There is no laundry, but they offer internet access and bike hire. It has a very quiet atmosphere.

There's a spartan ground floor back room separate from the rest of the house, with 4 bunks inside. My bunk sagged very badly and the bedding smelt unclean. A rip-off even at $20.This room was a lean-to, without internal access, so effectively separate from the main house. The inside rooms looked a lot better, so if you book ahead you'll probably have a much better stay. However, based on my own experience, have to give 1 star.
