Guests say
The Cart Shed in Shropshire is highly praised for its stunning location, beautiful decor, and high standards of comfort and cleanliness. Guests appreciate the peaceful setting, the well-equipped facilities, and the thoughtful touches, including a welcome hamper. While there are minor issues mentioned, such as a fly infestation and lack of washing machine, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing a desire to return.
Reviews consistently mention that the property is very clean, well-maintained, and spotless, indicating a high standard of cleanliness. A single complaint about flies seems to be an external issue rather than a reflection of the property's cleanliness.
The location is described as peaceful, beautiful, and ideal for a relaxing getaway. The proximity to good walks and local attractions like Ludlow Farm Shop and Old Downton Lodge is appreciated. Access via single track roads is noted, but not seen as a significant deterrent.
Guests find the property extremely comfortable, with special mentions of comfortable beds, thick towels, and a cosy wood burner. The presence of en-suite bathrooms adds to the comfort level. A minor note about a worn sofa does not significantly detract from the overall comfort.
The Cart Shed is praised for being well-equipped and containing everything needed for a stay. However, some guests missed having a washing machine and noted issues with skylight windows and a wardrobe. The presence of a BBQ and patio furniture is positively noted.
The provision of a high-quality welcome hamper and other amenities like soap and shower gel are mentioned positively, indicating thoughtfulness. However, it is important to note that such gifts are not guaranteed and may vary.
About this property
The Cart Shed is a charming barn conversion that has been refurbished to an exceptional standard while still retaining its original charm and character, to make the perfect luxury country retreat.
A luxury country retreat for up to four guests, The Cart Shed is a beautiful barn conversion on the Downton Estate, a magnificent stretch of countryside that straddles the hills of the Shropshire and Herefordshire border. The single-storey accommodation has a spacious kitchen, dining and sitting room with a wood-burning stove and access to the patio area with views of the rolling countryside. Both double bedrooms are also en-suite, with bedroom two having the flexibility of either a king-size bed or twin single beds.
Stay at the Cart Shed and you really will feel like you’re getting away from it all. The 5,000-acre Downton Estate is magical, and the River Teme cuts a deep limestone gorge through the beautiful landscape. There are lots of charming village and market towns to explore in the area, including Ludlow, world-famous for its excellent restaurants.
Also available to book at this beautiful location are: The Stone Barn and The Timber Barn. Perfect as a group booking for a special celebration or gathering. Just a mile away and still on the estate is the lovely Wassell Barn; a fabulous barn conversion sleeping six guests.
Additional Information:
Two well-behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge).

Loved it! We were there in April 2023 and we've just returned from our second trip. Well designed, good facilities, very calming and quiet. Great for the dog. There is a particularly beautiful Sessile Oak tree, at least 150yrs old, which was stunning. Also, a fantastic Gluten Free Fish and Chip shop in Leintwardine - very friendly - called The Fiddler's Elbow.
