The Cart House

Victoria was the perfect host.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cart house,couldn’t fault the wknd just perfect!!will be back soon…..

This is the Gold standard for accommodation, location and owners.

We have used Sykes cottage for many years and this property is the best we have ever been to, Shared play barn and games room, honesty shop free eggs, fantastic hot tub. The property is located in a perfect spot ideal for visiting places in the Welsh borders and Shropshire.

We had a lovely time there, but always goes to quick.

Victoria was very helpful and always available if you needed anything. The weather was really hot, and we had to use there blower to let the air circulate. Accommodation, was lovely and equipped with everything you needed, even a little medi kit, which did come in handy when I stubbed my toe and ripped the nail. It had a great little play room, with pool, air hockey etc and Badminton court. We did have ago at Badminton, but it was to hot to play. We would love to go back and next time bring our Granddaughter. Thanks for everything and being available on WhatsApp when we required help.

We had a lovely few days staying at the cart house.

Pretty much everything you can think of is provided. Everything is of high quality, including the hot tub which was fantastic! Clean and well maintained, my partner and I used it everyday we were there. There were country walks close to the cart house and Shrewsbury is just a short drive away. There is an on-site rec room with pool table, air hockey table etc for onsite entertainment and if you forget any essentials theres a little on-site shop with reasonable prices rather than a 200% money making mark up you usually find on holiday sites. The bed was comfy, all bedding was good quality and clean and the wet room shower was very spacious and easy to keep clean. Plus if all goes off course and you end up rained in there's netflix access on the TV to keep you entertained. My partner and I will be returning again. Thank you Victoria for a wonderful stay and for checking in with us even the same say as having surgery.

Our host Victoria was exceptional and couldn’t do anything more to make our stay any more perfect.

The blinds were drawn and fan was on ready for our arrival. The cottage was immaculate. We enjoyed our stay so much and would recommend to anyone! The cottage has very good insulation which did mean that it retained the heat during the heatwave so we were very warm.

The cottage was lovely, super clean and cozy- parking was clear and sitting outside was a highlight :) thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Cart House and would happily return in the future.

The property was excellent—comfortable, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. Victoria was super helpful throughout and made sure we had all the information we needed before and during our stay, which made everything completely hassle-free. The hot tub was a real highlight; it was spotless, very well maintained, and perfect for unwinding after a day out. The location was peaceful and quiet, providing a wonderful place to relax and switch off. We also enjoyed a visit to Elsies Vintage Tea Room & Pie Parlour just down the road near Alberbury, where the pie and peas were absolutely delicious and well worth a visit. Overall, a fantastic stay in a lovely property, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others. We would definitely return.

We had a wonderful stay at The Cart House, which was immaculately presented she everything we were looking for from our mini break.

The hot tub was glorious, nice and peaceful to unwind in after exploring the area. The EV charger made everything super convenient and the games barn gave a lot of laughter. Victoria was an amazing host and we definitely plan to return.

We enjoyed a very relaxing and comfortable week at the Cart House.

It's a cosy, characterful cottage with excellent eco credentials. We could charge up our EV while soaking in the large hot tub! It was well equipped and the freshly laid eggs were a bonus. The king sized bed is comfy and the shower is hot, with good pressure. We liked having our own private garden and courtyard. The play Barn, little shop and pool table etc are a great resource. A special thank you to Victoria and Robert for their patience when our car wouldn't start! We hope to return.

Amazing host and amazing property.

Victoria was very welcoming and helpful with our check in and we enjoyed a very comfortable and relaxing stay. The place was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. The hot tub was fantastic!

The cart house was a lovely peaceful cottage and it had everything we could have needed, the only downside to us returning was no roof over the hot tub, definitely needed for hot sunny days and would also be beneficial on a rainy day, the bed was a little squeaky too but otherwise we had a lovely weekend

We had a great stay at Cart house.

The accommodation had everything you needed and more. The 2 additional barns with games rooms and free eggs from the chickens. The house was really clean. Victoria was on the end of the phone if you needed anything. We would highly recommend this accommodation.

First impressions were not good cracked concrete parking area, cobwebs and weeds externally.

As we entered the property we were greeted with a broken tile, chipped tiles and split worktop which is unhygienic. The sofa had no support whatsoever and has seen better days. The hot tub lid was extremely dirty and the parasol base to patio table was rusty. Cleaning on first glance was OK but desperately needs a deep clean from top to bottom as beams, lights, lamps, pictures, ornaments and blinds ti windows were thick with dust. Alot of cobwebs on walls and from ceiling were also present. Black mould in corners of shower and around windows is not acceptable. It's a shame as with some work it could be perfect. The clock on the wall didn't work needed a battery and the cooker clock was not set to the correct time its as though its too much trouble to put these issues right. The kettle needed descaling and it would be better to provide a 4 slice toaster. The positives are well equipped, warm and quiet. Hopefully the owners will address these issues ASAP. We asked for compensation and they offered us £60.00 which is better than nothing however the owner seemed upset that I brought these issues to her attention and told me not to message her again. It should have been cleaned before we arrived the amount of dust is not acceptable if she is upset how does she think we felt ? We didn't mention it when we were there as didn't want to make it awkward and how the owners have been suggests we did the right thing after all its not our fault there were so many issues. When Sykes sent her the photos she questioned me saying that isn't our property as the beams are too dark. I replied its the horse on the bedroom window sill but you could clearly see the owners courtyard in the background. Please don't insult us just deal with the issues.

Lovely girls weekend of relaxation at the cart house.

Netflix, hot tub, peace and quiet with bonus shooting stars thrown in. A perfect chilled retreat. The owners were very accommodating but left us to our own devices unless we needed anything. Perfect!

Our second trip to the Cart House and it didn't disappoint, we really love it here, very comfortable and peaceful with a badminton barn and play barn with games, something for everyone here.

The cat and chickens were friendly and loved their eggs for breakfast.

We had a great and very relaxing weekend, we have already recommended it and will return.

Out welcome was wonderfully friendly and kind but we were given privacy too.

Both are important. The facilities are 2nd to none. The hot tub was HUGE and the pacman and air hockey games brilliant. (There is pool and table football too) The chickens are a delight and the FREE free range eggs just the icing on the cake.

A great place to relax.

Clean and comfortable. Definitely recommended. Vicki looked after us superbly and discreetly.

A perfect place to spend a relaxing week or two.

The Cart House was spotless and very comfy. Our only slight cripe was the sofa was too soft, but that is just personal preference. The play barn was amazing and the honesty shop was a nice touch. Eggs were out of this world gorgeous and the kitchen was extremely well equipped. We took our own air fryer with us so the built-in oven didn't get used by us. Victoria was lovely and excellent with communication. Robert and his Wife, the owners, were lovely too. A couple of lovely walks including the deer park and Rodney's Pillar. Tea room, just down the road is well worth a visit. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back thank you for having us.

Very enjoyable stay, well located to explore Shrewsbury and Shropshire.

Ideal if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday. Great hot tub. Excellent parking - you will need a car.

We have just spent 7 lovely nights at the cart house it was everything and more than we expected.

the place is immaculate and all of the fixtures and fittings are top quality.and the big hot tub is an added bonus.there are several national trust properties in the area we visited powis castle ,attingham,chirk castle ,as well as Shrewsbury, bridgnorth.weather was not the best but didn't bother us .if peace and quiet is your thing this is the place . highly recommended..

It was a lovely cottage in immaculate condition.

Ideal for exploring the area or fir relaxing at home. Ideal for someone with mobility problems as it wad allon one level an very accessible. Vicky our host was very welcoming and approachable. Looking forward to returning in the future.

Absolutely perfect as per description with more un-listed niceties such as milk, eggs, coffee etc waiting upon arrival.

Vicky and partner are excellent hosts and the facilities on the site was a nice surprise with a little tuck shop for essentials etc. The "honesty" box method is a great idea that shows old fashioned values and adds to the feel of the whole set up. Was perfect for our needs in relaxing privacy and have no hesitation in returning in future.

Brilliant place everything you need they have got ,huge parking space massive games room all free to use ,hot tube was huge ,owners vicky and Chris were lovely.

Lots of places to visit all nearby ,highly recommend tearooms and local pub for great carvery just turn right on way out about 1 mile up the road .free eggs from there own chickens,definitely will be returning

Clean comfortable and very relaxing property.

Sun trap rear garden with hot tub was a very relaxing area.as The fresh eggs each morning where a welcome surprise and welcoming host.

The cottage was comfortable and in a lovely quiet location.

The hot tub was a nice relaxation in the evening after visiting local attractions. Vicky, Scott and the chickens were excellent hosts; a really enjoyable break.

The Cart House was wonderful.

We had a fabulous stay in this bijou comfortable cottage. Everything you need is provided, even a hot tub! Vicky was extremely helpful and provided us with free range eggs hatched on the premisesL All in all, highly recommeded.

A fantastic few days, lovely, quiet, peaceful and relaxing.

Everything we needed was provided and the hot tub was pure luxury! Vicky was available if we needed anything, but as I said everything we need was provided! Will definitely go back.

This was a luxury cottage, everything provided, very comfortable, private garden with large, clean hot tub.

Entertainment in badminton barn and play barn. Fresh eggs laid by their chickens. Lovely host with great communication. Lovely local walks and a great location to go to national trust and English heritage properties. Wish we'd had longer than the bank Holiday weekend,we will be back

Lovely, comfortable cottage, well set up and ideally situated.

Quiet and private. Will definitely go again.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Cart House and would love to visit again.

It is a lovely property. Really well maintained, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The garden area is fenced and provided privacy while using the large hot tub. The Cart House is one of a few beautifully converted farm buildings and sits around a grassed courtyard. Free range chickens occupy the field next to the cottage and we were able to collect fresh eggs for our breakfast! It is in a quiet country village setting perfect as a base for walking and to explore the surrounding towns. I can highly recommend The Cart House.

A lovely, clean & comfortable property in a peaceful location.

Thank you to Victoria for her kind welcome essentials. We hope to visit again in the near future

The carthouse is the perfect property for a couples getaway.

It is so cosy with the log burner and the hot tub is excellent located in a private enclosed garden. The property comes equipped with everything you could need with Victoria, the host, even providing fresh milk and eggs from the farm ready for our arrival. The farm itself also has really good facilities with a well stocked shop and plenty of entertainment facilities. It is such a beautiful location with plenty of opportunities for hiking and within short distance of Shrewsbury, Oswestry and Welshpool. We had a wonderful stay at the cart house and would recommend it to anyone looking for a secluded getaway.

Lovely couple of days.

Cottage and hot tub were great. Victoria was a great host with great communication before the stay. She helped with the delivery of flowers and suggested some nice walks. We will be back

Myself and my partner had the most beautiful weekend from start to finish for his 30th birthday.

Vicki was so helpful with everything and more. We had some trouble with the WiFi, it was very slow (which wasn't an issue because we didn't get away to spend times on our phones) but she came to try and solve the issue instantly. She also let us know about local bonfire displays, and bought us some beautiful home made scones and lemon meringue pies. It was a lovely location, driving distance to everything you needed and some lovely walls near by. The cottage had everything and more we needed and the hot tub was pure bliss! Can not wait to come and stay again another time. Thank you so so much! X

Amazing from start to finish.

From milk, eggs, scones and wine when we arrived to the offer of a later check out the morning we left. The farm is stunning and has everything you need. The hot tub is the biggest and most powerful I have had the pleasure of using, a real highlight! The surrounding area is full of natural beauty and the perfect location to visit Shropshire. Elsie’s tea room is a must!!!! The food is to die for. A huge thank you Victoria for a lovely time.

Without a doubt , the best cottage we have ever stayed in in 35 years of using holiday cottages.

The quality of furniture is obvious everywhere. Everything is provided. You need not pack anything but clothes. The bathroom is a fully sealed wet room, ideal for people with disabilities but doesn't feel like it. The hot tub is enormous for two people. And completely private enclosed in a small suntrap. And Victoria is so helpful and attentive. Really cannot fault it. Didn't use the play barn but looked in. You would pay for entry to something like that standalone. And the dvd selection available to borrow is better than blockbusters used to have .
