We recently stayed at the Cart house for a week, it is a beautiful property, very clean inside and so well equipped with everything we could have needed and more. A real home from home stay, the food hamper on our arrival was a lovely touch and a real treat. Vanessa and Jonathan came by to meet us on our first night, which was a lovely touch and lovely to meet them. Vanessa even went out to buy us some tomatoes as I had forgotten to bring ours, very kind of her and very much appreciated. We had a lovely stay, the only little niggle was the road noise, especially early in the morning.
We enjoyed a lovely short stay at the Cart House which we found to be superbly appointed and just what we needed. The Cart House is superbly equipped and offers excellent accommodation. We were only there for a couple of days with friends but it was a great base and suited us very well for our short visit to the area. The owners popped by to say hello and they were really friendly and very helpful. We would recommend this to anyone considering a visit to the area.
Stunning, stylish and very comfortable house. The house was well equipped and the communication from the owners was excellent. The Welcome Hamper was a thoughtful idea too! We would definitely like to return .
The Cart House is a loverly barn conversion type holiday home. The views from the back patio are blissful, we even saw deer wandering through the fields. Well located for trips to Winchester, Southampton and Portsmouth.
The only downsides were the car noise from the road taht runs past the property and the stylish, but uncomfortably soft sofas in the lounge.
A lovely place to stay. Everything we needed was available, including lots of little extras that you donât always see. You could tell lots of care had been taken when creating it as a holiday let.
Plenty of local food and drink options, and a local shop only a couple of minutes away.
The owners were very helpful. Check in and out was easy.
Would recommend, and will definitely book again.
I stayed here with my 4 month old baby, parents and in-laws for the 2024 New Year. I booked very last minute with the owners and they were so accommodating. They were very helpful with recommendations for restaurants etc for New Years Eve. The property was great, big enough for us all, very clean and comfortable and a perfect location. Couldnât recommend this place more, just perfect
Mums weekend away has been a tradition for quite a few years for my 3 friends and I but it was our first time at the Cart House. From the welcome message and a lovely goodie basket that awaited us on arrival we were impressed with every aspect of our stay - well perhaps not the stormy weather but that just made us enjoy the coziness of the Cart House even more. The kitchen is well equipped (including cocktail shaker!), sofas were super comfy ( as were the beds) and the underfloor heating means you can leave your slippers home! We are already looking forward to coming back!
Lovely stay in a well equipped converted barn. Very clean and well presented.
Lovely welcome basket full of goodies.
The owners were always on hand to answer any questions.
There was absolutely nothing negative about this stunning property. Everything you can think of was provided by the hosts from a lovely welcome hamper to garden seating in a very spacious patio garden area. We were very lucky with the weather & so spent a lot of time sitting in the sun. If the weather hadn't been so good plenty of games were provided.Even though some of us were relatively local it was still an area with much to enjoy. Wickham nearby is a bustling village with independent & antique shops. A visit to Chesapeake Mill is a must.
The house was beautiful, spotlessly clean and well equipped. My young daughter loved the chest of toys and games. Great location, easy to find and only a short drive to Winchester and Marwell Zoo. Would certainly revisit if in the area again.
Fantastic stay! Would recommend The Cart House. Cosy feel and great hosts. Looking forward to coming back again.
