  • "Our family of three had such a lovely stay- we would highly recommend the Cart Shed as a base for exploring the area."

    Clean, warm, beautifully designed and hospitable hosts. The only problem we encountered was on our last night was a random dance party held close by with extraordinarily loud music which kept us awake all night before very long journey home to Australia. Not the hosts fault, obviously, but it took the shine off an otherwise lovely stay. We will be back!

  • "The accommodation was lovely and so comfortable!"

    The toiletries and groceries were appreciated. Highlights were the location for evening walks and the huge sliding windows to let the outside in! It’s in a very quiet area but close to lots of Cotswolds highlights! We would love to come back and explore further! Thank you!

  • "Very nice cottage."

    Very quiet location and some great paths for anyone who likes to run, jog,walk. The ability to lock windows in an open position would be great to ventilate the rooms whilst out. Don’t know if this could be done retrospectively. Only issue was a bathroom lock , that Ben came and sorted.

    So glad it was enjoyable, apologies there was an issue with a door, and glad we could get it sorted. Alas, we have no way to make the building secure whilst the windows are open, even retrospectively alas. We hope that the sliding glazed doors and the upstairs skylights enabled you to ventilate satisfactorily whilst in there. Property Owner

    Couldn’t believe how good it was for the price - there were lots in the area that weren’t as nice and much more expensive. Whole place was spotlessly clean, comfortable, modern and spacious :) lots of things included - like milk, eggs, well kitted-out kitchen, other useful things like ironing board/airer, and also noticed there were baby items like a high chair and travel cot. Would definitely stay again if in the area, and would recommend to anyone

  • "Absolutely lovely property."

    Really well finished and comfortable. We enjoyed a stay as 4 adults and one young baby. We had taken a travel cot but one was available for using the property if we had wanted to use it. The kitchen is well equipped but you may want to take a large pan if cooking for 4 adults. Beds very comfortable and the bathrooms are lovely, especially the lovely bath under a skylight window. We had a look at the treehouse earlier, this would be amazing for kids staying at the property! Electric vehicle charging right outside the property - very well received! Well positioned for exploring!

    Thank you for the lovely review, we are so pleased you had a great stay and enjoyed The Cart Shed. We will make sure we put a bigger pan in for future guests! Thanks for letting us know :) Property Owner

    Even on the mostly overcast days we spent there, there was a sense of space and light and comfort. The downstairs shower was excellent, there was a spare fridge and freezer, a washing .aching and drier, all needs and amenities catered for. Parking is good, Witney is very nearby and you are well placed for Oxford too. We did not take much advantage of the outside areas and fire pit but we look forward to visiting again on sunnier days, knowing that all our needs are catered for.

    It's a super dog friendly property and very close to Witney which has plenty of shops for groceries etc. It was very clean with comfortable furniture & beds, loads of nice crockery and good quality toiletries provided.

  • "We had the most wonderful stay in the cart shed at High Cogges farm."

    Highest marks in all the important categories: cleanliness, coziness and communication! Our hosts articulated everything we needed to know, and more, in a thoughtful pre-arrival email and during our stay they were always at the ready to answer questions or offer recommendations. What a rare treat to be staying in a historic structure yet have the comforts and amenities of a superbly stylish modern dwelling. Anything you could possibly need can be found stowed away like a well-appointed ship: hair dryer, laundry supplies, converters … It may take you a moment or two to find the silverware but the sleek aesthetic is more than worth it. The interior design was entirely pleasing with sparingly chosen items of natural beauty - even the shampoo and soap were a treat for the senses. Not to mention our surroundings! Given the fall weather we weren’t able to take advantage of the indoor/ outdoor living with the retractable glass walls.. but we did appreciate the fire pit tucked in the wooded children’s wonderland out back! Also, a walk in any direction offers up stunning bucolic vistas. We took advantage of the pastoral walks available right out our doorstep. We had a lovely morning stroll to the farm museum for a coffee and were really looking forward to the 5 mile round trip walk to the Mason’s Arms but we were running out of time so we decided we would leave that for the next time, as we will no doubt be back!

  • "Thank you! We all had a wonderful time at The Cart Shed."

    The property is clean, comfortable, well equipped and stylish. Self-catering for the six of us was no problem in the kitchen once we had learned the vagaries of the various handle-less cupboards! The only thing we missed was a pair of scissors. The glass front and side windows/doors are a great feature. we loved opening them to feel like we were part of the surroundings. The fire-pit and surrounding woodland area gave us a lovely evening toasting marshmallows (and night-time zip-wire fun for the brave!). We had fun bat-detecting, moth-trapping, bird-spotting and general nature-watching in and around the area, which is lovely for walking. Unfortunately we didn't spot the hedgehogs. It was a short drive to various interesting days out and further walks. The weather was kind to us, but it would be a fantastic stay in the winter with the fire keeping everyone toasty while curling up with a book or playing board-games.

    Ah thanks for posting this, what lovely feedback. I hadn’t realised the scissors had gone! Replaced already! Thanks for flagging it up. Property Owner

    However, there seems to be a gap between what they want to achieve and what you are promoting. Specifically, when I sought to add The Granary to my original booking for The Cartshed, you insisted on a separate booking, (saying that was what the owners wanted)and charging another booking fee. Since then, you have bombarded me with separate emails for the 2 properties (including this one) and unwanted promotions, which were of no possible interest (and very expensive). The kind of information I needed was readily available from the owners.

The property

Witney 2 miles.

The Cart Shed is a luxurious rural retreat in the Oxfordshire countryside, ideal for a family or group gathering for those wanting to explore the picturesque countryside that abounds the area.

With off-road parking for up to three cars (four if you are using both properties) just opposite the property, you can park comfortably and head over to the property, immediately being impressed by the walkway of floor to ceiling windows that runs the length of the ground-floor level of the property, allowing in plenty of natural light.

Step inside the property and onto the warmth of the polished concrete flooring, which provides underfloor heating throughout the ground-floor level.

Leave coats and shoes in the hallway, where hooks and storage are available, and make your way down the impressive hallway towards the open-plan living space.

The kitchen is finished to the highest specification, with a stunning concrete work top and push base cupboards; here you can create delicious home-cooked meals for loved ones, to be enjoyed together at the dining table, before retiring to the sofa and throwing a few logs onto the woodburning stove as you relax with your favourite TV show or enjoy a family movie.

For the day time, the sliding door can be opened to allow in a fresh summer's breeze.

And you have a large glazed sliding door panel that leads directly into the wood for direct access or simply watching the woodland birds through.

When it's time to catch up on rest, choose from three bedrooms; a ground floor double and twin, served by a stylish shower room suite with excellent shower access.

On the first floor is a spacious and light twin with zip/link feature, apex roof and stunning en-suite bathroom with a choice of bath or shower and a large skylight allowing in plenty of light.

Head outside and into the woodland for an evening around the fire pit, toasting marshmallows together, and during the daytime the children can explore the treehouse and play on the swing, while the lawn and south facing gravel area are great places to sit out with a morning coffee and soak up your peaceful surroundings.

The Cart Shed is an idyllic base for a group gathering in Oxfordshire.
