Snaptrip says
The Cart Shed in Shropshire is highly praised for its stunning location, high-quality decor, and peaceful surroundings. Guests appreciate the comfortable furnishings, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches, including a welcome hamper. While most experiences are positive, a few guests encountered issues with flies and minor maintenance matters. The property is ideal for a tranquil retreat with beautiful countryside views and local amenities like a top-notch restaurant and farm shop nearby.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently report that The Cart Shed is very clean and well-maintained, with only a single mention of an issue with cluster flies, which seems to be an external factor rather than a reflection of the property's cleanliness.
The property's location is frequently described as peaceful, beautiful, and ideal for a relaxing getaway. It is situated in scenic countryside with good local amenities, although access via single-track roads may require confident driving.
Reviewers find the beds very comfortable and the property warm and cosy, especially with the wood burner. The spaciousness and quiet environment contribute to the overall comfort.
The Cart Shed is well-equipped according to guests, with high standards of decor and facilities. Some minor issues were reported, such as problems with windows and a desire for a washing machine, but these do not detract significantly from the overall high quality.
While guests are delighted with the welcome hamper, there are not enough reviews mentioning gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such thoughtful gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

A luxury country retreat for up to four people, The Cart Shed is a barn conversion on the Downton Estate, a magnificent stretch of countryside that straddles the hills of the Shropshire and Herefordshire border. The single-storey accommodation has a spacious kitchen, dining and sitting room with a wood-burning stove, with access to the patio area and the views of the rolling countryside. Both double bedrooms are also en-suite.
Stay at the Cart Shed and you really will feel like you’re getting away from it all. The 5,000-acre Downton Estate is magical, and the River Teme cuts a deep limestone gorge through the beautiful landscape. There are lots of charming village and market towns to explore in the area, including Ludlow, world-famous for its excellent restaurants.
Also available to book at this beautiful location are: The Stone Barn and The Timber Barn. Perfect as a group booking for a special celebration or gathering. Just a mile away and still on the estate is the lovely Wassell Barn; a fabulous barn conversion sleeping six guests.

It is a lovely location. Complete peace and tranquillity. The accommodation is very well kitted out. Good beds nice towels etc. A failing is the way the velum windows operate they are impossible to open & very difficult to close/open the blind. An electric system would be much better especially in the second bedroom which afteral has no windows!
