"Beautiful property and although part of the farm buildings, is very private with separate parking and garden."
The host is very welcoming and friendly. The quality of decoration, furniture, bed linen at the property was exceptional. We loved watching the frequent visits of birds and other wildlife in the garden. Would highly recommend to anyone who wanted a peaceful, rural retreat.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Cart Barn and look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Best Wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"A beautifully curated cottage put together by someone with a real eye for design."
Fresh flowers were provided throughout the house together with a welcome cake and some milk and eggs. The location was great allowing us to explore not only Wiltshire but the surrounding counties of Dorset, Hampshire and Somerset. What really lets the cottage down are the deeply uncomfortable sofas.

"The Cart Barn is a wonderful conversion providing spacious and comfortable accommodation."
The whole building is airy comfortable and very well equipped. Luckily the weather was kind to us and we could spend time in the inviting pretty garden. It is remote place but there are wonderful sites to see nearby, Messums Barn, Stourhead and Wordour Castle to list a few. There are plenty of pubs within driving distant, The Royal Oak at Swallowcliffe is worth a visit. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for a wonderful relaxing holiday.
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your recent stay at The Cart Barn. It sounds like you had a lovely time at the property and managed to explore the area and the lovely walks. We hope to welcome you again for another stay in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"Had a wonderful stay at the Cart Barn."
Due to a mix up at booking Claire allowed me to bring my cockapoos even though only one dog allowed. It is clean, spacious and very comfortable. My friend & I had a very relaxing time. Lucky for us the weather was great. The garden is lovely. It is in a quite remote place which suited us perfectly. Welcome gifts were scrumptious. Flowers placed in every room. Sofa and beds very comfy. Plenty of kitchen equipment if needed. Would we stay again? Absolutely. Thank you so much for a great holiday cottage.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are so pleased you had a wonderful stay with your cockapoos and could relax with your friend. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Best Wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"The Cartbarn is a beautifully restored barn."
Everything in it is of the highest quality. There is no using old things to fill gaps. Curtains, cushions and sofas all lovely and top quality. In the bedrooms white linen sheets and pillowcases and goose down duvet made it hard to get out of bed and the fabulous view was so relaxing. Upstairs is very spacious, light and airy with a giant bed and roomy en suites in both bedrooms and lots of storage for clothes . Claire had left exuberant jugs of flowers on the chest of drawers in both rooms. In the kitchen there was not a single utensil lacking during our stay and a plentiful supply of tea towels, j cloths, household roll etc made for an easy life. The garden at the Cartbarn is lovely, very private with good garden furniture and parasol with plenty of parking that doesn’t overshadow the garden. You could not have nicer owners, so welcoming and generous , leaving some delicious goodies and carrying down a special garden chair for my sister who is disabled. Both Claire and William made us so welcome in an unfussy and unobtrusive way. The Cartbarn nestles into glorious countryside with a mass of lovely walks whilst being only a very short drive into the village with an interesting little high street, everything from specialist food shops to the co-op, not forgetting a very good affordable boutique and a main line station to London. We both felt refreshed and uplifted at the end of our week. It was very hard to leave….
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and could unwind and feel refreshed by the end of your stay, we shall look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Best Wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"We had a wonderful stay at the Cart Barn!"
We were two couples travelling from Canada visiting family in the area and found the property perfect for our needs. We found the property very well equipped. The owner is very easy to work with and accommodated any requests we had. The property although secluded is minutes away from Tisbury and the other surrounding towns. Thank you so much for an awesome experience!
Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at The Cart Barn. It's lovely to hear that you all had a wonderful time visiting family close by, we do hope you managed to do a bit of site seeing also during your stay. We would love to welcome you all again in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

"We loved our seven day break at the Cart Barn."
The clever open plan design maximises the space on the ground floor and the large windows ensure that the main area is beautifully lit (even during a horribly grey February). The upstairs rooms are also very well planned and, like the living areas, benefit from stylish furniture and tasteful artworks. The location is lovely, close to Tisbury on the Wiltshire/Dorset border.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are delighted that you loved the property and its location. We hope we can welcome you back again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"The Cart Barn is a lovely cottage with a nice garden - perfect for a quiet retreat or as a base to explore the area and the world heritage sites nearby."
The owners were very welcoming and provided us with lots of suggestions for what do do and see. The converted barn was well equipped and felt warm and cosy. We particularly loved the welcoming cake and fresh flowers on arrival.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased that you loved the cottage and its garden and appreciated the welcome goodies. We hope we can welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

"Beautiful, peaceful house and lovely garden which our spaniel had a wonderful time in."
Very comfortable beds and everything you could want from this delightful place. The welcoming and helpful owners, the fresh flowers and cake and the huge bag of apples we came home with were much appreciated.We were reluctant to leave and look forward to having our next holiday there.
-
"The owners, Claire and William, were very welcoming and on hand nearby."
The fresh flowers and cake were appreciated together with advice on places to visit. The bedrooms were light and airy given the high temperatures we had. The setting is very rural and idyllic with a beautiful enclosed garden enjoyed by the dog. There are very pleasant countryside walks from The Cart Barn which is perfect for anyone seeking tranquillity with Salisbury, Stourhead, Shaftesbury and other tourist attractions not far away.
-
"The cottage is in a delightful setting and very secluded."
Masses of natural light through the windows, and the kitchen was well appointed. The garden was safe for a toddler under supervision. The main things marring our visit was a 13.5 tog duvet in the height of summer, and both sets of settees were very uncomfortable. The corner unit would struggle to seat two people, let alone the four adults the cottage caters for. The owners were very welcoming. If the comfort issues were addressed I would certainly come back.
Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay. The settee is being replaced however it will be of a similar size due to the size and layout of the barn. The other points are being reviewed. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner

"Claire and William were absolutely fantastic couldn't have wished for more attentive people."
Lovely fresh flowers eggs and even picked fresh blackberries when they found out I had a head cold to provide vitamin c for recovery. Speedy attention when the boiler cut out The only things I would say would be the mattresses quite hard and summer weight duvets be available and the couch in the TV area uncomfortable needs new padding for seating other wise Will everything wonderful. Will come back again
Thank you for your feedback and comments. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you again! Property Owner

"We very much enjoyed our stay at the Old Cart Barn."
The conversion has all been done to a great standard with bespoke and quirky features and with a lovely homely rustic feel. It is well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The secluded garden is so peaceful and relaxing with just the sounds of the countryside and we were fortunate to have lovely warm weather to enjoy most of our meals there outside. Claire and William the owners were there to greet us and were so knowledgable and interesting to talk with about the local area. They left fresh milk and eggs from their hens for us on arrival. During our stay we really appreciated their quick response to resolve a hot water issue, one of the benefits of having the owners close by on hand. We would love to book this cottage again in the future.
Thank you for your feedback regarding your stay at The Cart Barn. It's lovely to hear how much you enjoyed the barn and the area and such amazing walks from your door to. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards Hideaways. Property Owner

"Quiet, private, well-equipped, peaceful and dog friendly."
We had a lovely stay here in sunny June, enjoyed great walks nearby, read our books and sat in the garden and fed the blackbirds our strawberries. Bliss. Chris, Sally and Evie the JRT

"The Cart Barn is wonderful."
In a secluded spot and surrounded by countryside, it has been restored to a very high standard and has all you could possibly need - the owners have thought of everything . From the gorgeous linen with luxurious pillows and duvets to the lovely curtains and stylish cushions on the sofas. The owner is unobtrusive whilst being at the neighbouring farm and on hand if needed. The area is lovely and unspoilt and there are lots of footpaths straight from the door. This is a very “high end” property and our week here was a joy - we have booked again for next year!
Thank you for this lovely review. We're delighted you had such a wonderful time at The Cart Barn and also enjoyed the surrounding areas. We look forward to welcoming you again next year. Best wishes Hideaway Cottages Property Owner

"A fabulous short stay - just 4 nights - but more than enough to re-charge severely depleted body-batteries!"
A lovely cottage, we were sorry to have to leave so soon. Thank you.
We're so glad you enjoyed your stay even if it wasn't long enough! We hope to welcome you again. Best wishes Hideaway Cottages Property Owner

"Lovely place."
If you seek a peaceful location where the only noise is birdsong. This is the place for you. Not far from Longleat too

"We had a great time at the Cart Barn."
The cottage is very charming and offered everything we needed: beautiful views, calm surroundings, comfy beds and a very pretty area to explore. During the days we went to Salisbury, Frome (highly recommended!), Winchester and other places nearby. At night, we slept like logs. Claire and William were lovely hosts. We even got some fresh eggs from them! We would recommend visiting Frome.
Thank you for the excellent feedback, we're delighted to hear you've had a wonderful holiday. Best wishes, HideAways Property Owner

"We had a super relaxing time at the delightful, spacious & quiet 'Cart Barn'."
A rather quirky & pleasant place to stay for the much needed peace & quiet we were looking for. All very clean & nice upon arrival with a lovely fresh cake to welcome us. The kitchen was very well equipped which included a microwave, dishwasher & washing machine & being open plan made it feel very light, spacious & airy. Both bedrooms felt roomy with luxury superking size beds with quality bedding & both en-suites well equipped & clean. Easy off road parking for 2 vehicles. Nearby walks were welcoming with our small dog with the country lanes being non existent from traffic & lovely views from the somewhat rural location. Claire (the owner) popped in to greet us & was very lovely, friendly & welcoming. We would definitely recommend The Cart Barn to anyone looking for tranquility.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We're delighted you (and your dog!) enjoyed your stay and all the local walks. We hope to welcome you again for another relaxing break! Best wishes Hideaway Cottages Property Owner

"A beautiful, unusual property."
An exceptional conversion maintaining the character of the original building. Very comfortable and well appointed. Everything was of a high quality, lovely towels and luxury bed linen. And there were flowers in every room. A lovely touch especially in the depths of winter. Thank you. The owner was friendly and helpful and it was a pleasure to spend a week here. Just one point...the property was difficult to find as the whole hamlet has the same postcode. Perhaps the owners could consider using What3words which would enable people to easily locate The Cart Barn.
Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your comments. Best wishes, Hideaways Property Owner

"The property was lovely, and the flowers in the rooms was a lovely touch."
Unlike some rental properties, it was well equipped, especially with towels, tea towels and kitchen equipment, and the garden furniture was great.it is in a lovely location; the only slight drawback was a neighbours pet lamb which was allowed to go on bleating rather a lot on a couple of days, but apart from that, we loved it thank you.

"The Cart Barn was above and beyond our expectations; with a wonderful feeling of warmth and peacefulness in a beautiful setting."
The jugs of fresh flowers from the garden and gifts left for our arrival were so welcoming. A huge thank you to William and Claire for so willingly accommodating our needs and for making everything so easy. It was hard to leave, even the dog didn’t want to go, refusing to get in the car, most unlike him!

This was perfect for our needs and just a really love setting. The owners were directly on hand if needed but left us to our own devices. We loved the Cart Barn and it was brilliant for two couples.

The glass fronted entrance, created from the original bays of the cart shed, is a particularly special feature of the building and floods the ground floor living area with light.
In recent years, The Cart Barn has been featured in The Times ’50 Best Cottages’ in recognition of the exceptional holiday experience it offers!
The two bedrooms consist of two super king size beds, both with ensuites.
Downstairs, the open plan layout is very airy, and showcases very modern kitchen and living rooms.
