Guests say
The Cart Shed in Hereford is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its comfortable and spacious accommodation, charming character, and thoughtful touches such as welcome baskets. Set in a peaceful countryside location, it's ideal for exploring the Herefordshire countryside with pets. Guests appreciate the friendly hosts and the property's warm atmosphere.
Most guests found the property clean and well-maintained, though there were a few mentions of cleanliness issues, such as dust and pet hair. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than the norm.
The location is highly praised for its peaceful countryside setting, with easy access to nearby towns and attractions. It's considered a great base for exploring the Herefordshire area.
Guests consistently describe the accommodation as comfortable, spacious, and cosy, with underfloor heating and a wood burner adding to the comfort. However, a few guests mentioned the beds being uncomfortable.
The property is well-equipped with necessary amenities and a wood burner, though there are comments about low water pressure and a long drying time for the wet room. The presence of a freezer in a shed and some kitchen cleanliness issues slightly lower the score.
Many guests were delighted by the thoughtful welcome baskets and provisions for pets, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. However, it should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

This beautiful, single-storey, detached cottage is set in the heart of Knapton village in central Herefordshire. Formerly it was an old cart shed used for storing the carts over the winter period and is thought to be 250-300 years old. It is set near a Roman road with an old hill fort nearby. 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.
