• "A wonderful barn to accommodate our family reunion and we thoroughly appreciated the open plan space downstairs and room sizes upstairs."

  The fully enclosed garden was great for our dog, and everyone enjoyed the hot tub. A very pretty and tranquil courtyard setting and a stunning barn conversion. Fast WiFi, too. Have already recommended to friends.

• "The Cart House is a lovely property, it's really comfortable and the hot tub was a real treat."

  The location is good for getting to local attractions such as Bewilderwood and The Ice Cream Farm, which was the reason for our visit. Paul was welcoming and answered the few queries we had throughout our stay. The only thing I would advise is with young children it would be helpful to have a stair gate at the top of the stairs but this is absolutely an us problem and we enjoyed our stay all the same. The property benefits from a dishwasher and washing machine and a fridge freezer. The large dining table is great to gather for dinner. We travelled with 4 children under 9 we enjoyed the open plan layout downstairs. Unfortunately the weather didnt allow for a bbq but the views and secure garden were also brilliant. We would definitely recommend and stay again if we needed to. Thank you for having us!

• "Lounge/TV area could be made a bit more comfy."

  A bigger tv and bigger sofa would make this area great. Having said that, it was comfortable as it is. We really enjoyed our stay, there were 5 of us plus the dog- plenty of room. The hot tub was cleaned daily and well used by us. Owner was very friendly and checked everything was ok.

  The hot tub was added bonus we used every night. A lot of pubs to enjoy evening meals easy to get to places. Paul lives next door very helpful but unobtrusive. Would highly recommend

• "Loved our time here garden and hot tub were brilliant just a shame the tv volume was that poor we couldn’t use it"

  I’m sorry to hear about the tv volume- I did check and the TV was on 50 maximum so unsure if using for music for house/hot tub but at that level would be unclear. I will look at upgrading but it will always be a standard tv which operates best at normal levels Property Owner

• "Thanks to Paul for hosting a perfect holiday break for our 3 generational family."

  We received a bottle of Prosecco and some lovely flowers and eggs upon arrival a nice touch. The property was light and spacious and had the benefit of an enclosed garden where we could let our two family dogs run around in safely. Location was very quiet but not too far from amenities if required. We used the Aldi supermarkets nearby for food shopping. Whilst staying here we visited Chester Zoo about 45 mins away and Hawkstone follies about 10 mins away. I could highly recommend both for families. All in all the property was excellent and if we are ever planning the area again as a family would not hesitate to book again. Thank you Paul again for sharing your property with us

  The property is lovely inside and out with everything you need for a nice break. The hot tub is a nice addition and we made good use of it even though it was only 3 degrees outside while we were there. The garden is also ideal for dogs as it’s fully enclosed with access to a big field at the back. Paul was on hand to welcome us and answer any questions. Will definitely return here.

• "This property is stunning."

  The owner was great at communicating and also left us some goodies on arrival. The only downside was that the hot tub wasn’t warm enough for the evening of arrival. The visitor’s book mentioned that this is the case because it is ‘fresh’ on arrival. I presumed they had replaced the water and it hadn’t achieved full temperature yet. Other than this, the weekend was lovely and the setting was idyllic. Thank you for a lovely stay.

  Thank you for the great feedback. Sorry for the hot tub normally Sykes mention with bookings that it might not be available the first night but coinciding with the extreme cold it didn’t quite make it on temperature Property Owner

• "Really enjoyed staying at the Cart House and we’d definitely stay again."

  Paul was welcoming and available but discretely so. The property is beautiful, clean, spacious and we made good use of the hot tub. Great to have a dishwasher, washing machine and streaming sites available on tv to use own accounts. There was plenty to do in the area, there was a lot we didn’t have time to do that we would have liked to. The stairs are quite steep so would be difficult for someone with bad mobility issues and possibly could do with a shower mat as it’s a little slippy. That’s being really picky as I don’t have anything bad to say.

  On arrival you get the sense of wow factor, lovely area and lovely plot! Was greeted by the owner Paul, very polite and kind, was a quick check in procedure and even allowed an earlier check in! The house itself is very spacious, gorgeous kitchen/dining area and the garden was perfect finished off with a great hot tub. The only negative I’d say is it requires more kitchenware (cooking equipment). All in all a great snd would defo recommend!

  Thanks Richard and glad you had a great week. I’ve gone x1.5 to x2 the recommended for six people from Sykes checklists and do recognise it requires keeping on top of the washing up whilst on a break and hence why I’ve included the dishwasher as an aid. It’s a balance between minimum and controlling the breakages hence I’ve added extras but would encourage anyone to ask for anything they feel missing or would help Property Owner

• "The Cart House was an a fantastic base location for our recent family holiday to Shropshire."

  Property was finished to a really high standard (as per the pictures in the listing). Everything we needed was on hand to ensure a relaxing family holiday for 2 adults, 2 children and our family dog. Hot tub was an added bonus and we put it to good use. The garden was secure and we had no concerns from a dog owners point of view. The Owner (Paul) was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable of local areas and was kind enough to have provided some nice touches with bread, milk, eggs and prosecco. We used the Cart House for a base location and did 6 day trips to: - Trentham Monkey Forrest (would recommend) - Hawkstone Park Follies (would recommend) - Edrigg (National Trust) - Shrugborough (National Trust - would recommend) - Chirk Castle (National Trust) - Attingham Park (National Trust - would recommend) .... all within a 45 min drive of the Cart House. All in all a great property, would recommend.

  If you want to get away from it all this is a peaceful place to be. Spend your days exploring the local area and further a field. David Austin Roses is 40 mins away but we'll worth a visit if you like something different British Ironworks at Oswestry is a must with some great deals to be had to. Addington House is a good trip out if a member of the National Trust. For those who fancy a run there a nice 5km loop and if you like a short cycle a 17km loop with a pub in the middle. After all this excitement sink in to the hot tub and watch the sun go down and relax

  It’s probably the thing that prompts you to book. Well all I can say is this place lives up to the high review listing The host Paul had a warm welcome greeting and a few nice touches as a welcome pack The barn was as the photos show but is actually much more spacious in reality, all clean and tidy. The hot tub is a large tub and we had a great time to relax after a day out. Superb for our dog who could roam in the fenced in large garden Only point I would suggest would be to install a downstairs toilet but that’s only a small thing just my old legs running upstairs. Would I stay here again absolutely yes

• "A beautiful house in a beautiful location."

  You really are in the middle of nowhere so I suggest you do a food shop before you arrive! Paul was a fantastic host and always on hand if we needed anything. Lovely touch leaving milk, eggs, bread, flowers, and alcohol for the first evening. The property is in the middle of nowhere very secluded, with two parking spaces at the front. The property was done out to a very high spec and the underfloor heating downstairs was amazing. It gets extremely hot in the afternoon with the sun on it. We struggled to work the heating though and think it maybe a good idea to explain how to use the heating in the manual, as not everyone is use to all this technology! The kitchen area was great, I do think it maybe worth providing more cuterly,plates, pans etc, as of there is six of you staying and cooking a big breakfast you had to wash and reuse pans. It would have been nice to have some kitchen foil and kitchen roll to use. Upstairs area is fantastic, three spacious bedrooms all with wardrobes. One en-suite and one family bathroom. The Hot Tub was amazing, very clean, could do with more lighting outside though, as the security light goes off after a minute or so and the solar lights are no good in the winter! Overall a fantastic week would definitely recommend it. Thank you Paul.

  Thanks for the kind worlds. Living in the beautiful Shropshire scenery you get used to the shops being 5 miles away - I’m an old city boy I’ll will look at some more lights or move the sensor to go with the lights built into the tub as would love you to come back in the future. Property Owner

• "Fabulous, hidden gem in Shropshire We wanted a short break to escape our self-imposed lockdown of two years plus an escape from the diagnosis of cancer and before the real treatment starts."

  Cart House is just brilliant for this. The owner, Paul is very keen to welcome guests personally and is on hand during the week to help with any assistance and advice. The property is very quiet and secluded with off-road parking for two cars. Inside is magical – a literally barn-sized, open plan lounge, diner and kitchen. All with oak beams overhead but modern in its equipment and design. There’s even a breakfast bar with stools. One amazing contribution to the homeliness is underfloor heating – a boon for guests as well as canine visitors. The backdoor leads out onto a large, enclosed lawn with picnic & BBQ area and the fabulous hot tub. Back inside, up the stone feature staircase, you are lead to the three impressive bedrooms – the first is ensuite but all three have a vast headroom up to the original oak beams. There is also a family bathroom at the end. The whole home is well furnished with luxury touches – blinds as well as curtains. A thermostat just for upstairs which shows the good design. For the chef – the kitchen is vast and well equipped (dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, electric touch hob and extractor, fridge & freezer plus a pod espresso machine). The whole place has a brand new feel to it and it is all well maintained. It’s a great area to explore: hiking, dog walking, pub visiting (a huge and I think well researched list is in the welcome pack). We came here in part to revisit old haunts when we sailed by in our old narrowboat – everywhere now is so easily reachable – Market Drayton (Joules Brewery), Whitchurch, Whixall Moss, Shrewsbury . . . . An ideal place for couples, whole families, two families and dogs! A gem and highly recommended

  Paul the owner sorted out 2 minor issues very quickly and efficiently. He had left us a "welcome" pack with some essentials milk, bread, dishwasher tablets, flowers and a bottle of prosseco - all appreciated and a nice touch. If we were to suggest any improvement it would be a bigger dining table, we were unable to sit 6 of us around the table provided but it did not detract from the holiday.
