The Old Cart Shed Reviews

Stephen

Beautiful, comfortable and well maintained accommodation. Everything you could need for your stay. Really good location for visiting place like Gloucester, Forest of Dean, Ledbury and slightly further afield the Cotswold. Only downside, the cottage is right on the roadside. When we stayed the weather was hot and on returning from a day out it would have been nice to sit outside. There was a small table and chairs but not ideal as you were outside the door overlooking our car and the road with the passing noise of the traffic. Otherwise the cottage was excellent.

Pamela

The Old Cart Shed is ideal holiday accommodation for two people, wishing to explore the Herefordshire area. Good sized kitchen, comfortable lounge area, comfortable bed and a fabulous shower. We would highly recommend the local Alma Inn for food it's fantastic, but you need to book.

Perfect for two, everything you could want, comfortable sofa, comfortable bed, good WiFi, and helpful owners. Would definitely book again to see more of this lovely area.

Catherine

We couldn't fault this accommodation. Just recently restored, it is beautifully appointed and cosy, with everything you need for your stay. Offroad parking is right by the entrance, and while the cottage is close to a country road, it isn't busy, and any passing traffic didn't bother us at all. Arran was easy to contact and very helpful. We would definitely stay again!
