This beautiful, single-storey, detached cottage is set in the heart of Knapton village in central Herefordshire.

The Cart Shed has been thoughtfully furnished throughout with many hand-crafted items adorning the property. The cottage has been lovingly renovated over a period of time by the current owners who are as keen on the exterior appearance as the interior, with landscaped grounds which guests are free to wander and enjoy. The owners, who live next door, have a smallholding with a variety of animals including pigs, geese, chickens and bees, as well as the owners’ two friendly dogs that may want to greet you. The local restaurant and pub is within walking distance.

Being a returning customer I continue to being impressed. The Smiths are very friendly and accommodating to your needs. The Cart Shed is impressively restored and spacious well thought out in layout. Location is central to many amenities eating out has been a joy although the Cart Shed has everything you need to service your own eating needs. On arrival a lovely welcome basket with some of their on site Belgian Chocolate Shop ( a dream)Would definitely return again as would my friend who visited
