The Cart Shed is a charming barn conversion that has been refurbished to an exceptional standard while still retaining its original charm and character.

A luxury country retreat for up to four people, The Cart Shed is a 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, with access to the patio area and the views of the rolling countryside. Both double bedrooms are also en-suite.

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).

There is an age restriction at this property. Children over the age of 10 and babies under 6 months welcome. Unfortunately the property is not suitable for toddlers and children under 10 years.

Infants are welcome at The Cart Shed but please bring your own travel cot and high chair.

Bedroom two has a king-size zip and link bed which can be converted to two 2'6 beds on request.

Within two minutes walking distance to an award winning restaurant.

Two electric vehicle chargers are available to share between the Downton Estate properties, located 0.6 miles away in the Estate Office car park.

Please note, one of the sofas in the images has since been removed to allow for more dining space.

    It is a lovely location. Complete peace and tranquillity. The accommodation is very well kitted out. Good beds nice towels etc. A failing is the way the velum windows operate they are impossible to open & very difficult to close/open the blind. An electric system would be much better especially in the second bedroom which afteral has no windows!

    Lovely cottage in a delightful area, wonderful countryside. The house was beautifully appointed and in excellent condition. I highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing and comfortable stay.
