The Cart Barn

Lovely property in a very peaceful location.

Only birdsong and an occasional muntjac ‘barking’ to break the silence. Property had everything you needed for a holiday, comfortable beds and a good shower. The only downside was the uncomfortable sofa for watching TV. The hosts Claire & William made us feel very welcome and we enjoyed our chats with them. Would highly recommend booking a holiday here.

Where to start owners very nice building very nice so much potential for the property but not been took.

Weeding where seating area is outside should always be done before customers arrive and a table that isn't falling apart ready to collapse. Wrong place for the small tv when that really should be in the main part where the main couch is but couches are very uncomfortable, beds really good size but take your own bedding and pillows due to cheap and tacky stuff supplied and to finish off if you have problems with wasps and bees not the place for you cos theres that many holes in the brick work where you see em flying out from im not surprised there's nests.

This was a great find ideal for a peaceful get away, the property had everything needed for a comfortable stay we were met by the hosts who couldn't be more helpful, also ideal for a dog with a large enclosed garden, will definitely look to return

Lovely property in a stunning location.

A well laid out cottage with comfortable sofas and a nice Kitchen. The bedrooms and bathrooms were just as comfortable. The area is great for walking and exploring.

This is a lovely property in a beautiful, peaceful area surrounded by amazing walks.

The owner, Claire, is extremely knowledgeable about the area and very helpful and kind. The accommodation is comfortable and clean. We loved it. We hope to book again soon.

We had such a wonderful time during our stay.

The cottage is beautifully presented, with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing break. The beds are huge and incredibly comfortable, adding a real touch of luxury, and the gorgeous roll-top bath was a treat. The garden is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the peace and nature all around. Although the cottage is in a quiet and tranquil spot, it’s very convenient too — just a 5-minute drive to the village and around 20 minutes to a larger supermarket, which made stocking up on essentials very easy. The local community pool was a big hit with the children, and we were made to feel so welcome everywhere we went. The owners were absolutely lovely, even bringing us fresh eggs from their chickens on our first day. After a long drive in the heat, we were delighted to find ice creams waiting in the freezer — such a thoughtful touch that instantly made us feel at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better holiday and would love to return!

Beautifully located in a deeply rural and private setting (approached by single track and usually quiet roads) whilst being close to many of the attractions of the area.

The Cart Barn has all of the things you need for a successful and relaxing self-catering break. Claire (the owner) was very friendly and helpful when we arrived.

Such a nice house and garden and a beautiful place.

Very suitable also for when you travel with dogs. The owner is very friendly and open for a chat and gave us nice recommendations for visits around the area.

Great country location.

Was well fitted out and had all the things we needed.

Beautiful location and fabulous area to explore.

Clare and William extremely helpful and friendly, their cottage is beautiful. Garden perfect for our dog with walks from the gate! Hoping to stay again.

The Cart Barn is set in a lovely rural location.

Footpaths straight from the property itself or along very quiet roads - ideal for dog walking. It’s quiet, peaceful and provides a moment away from the stresses of day to day life. The barn conversion provides everything you need for a pleasant break and is very warm inside (even needed to turn radiators down notwithstanding it was freezing outside at points during the week). Very likely to be back again. Thanks Claire.

A very warm and peaceful cottage, quiet and rural but not so remote to see and visit so many interesting places.

Wonderful owner who provided so many wonderful touches - flowers, tea, milk, soap, toilet rolls, spreads, etc. Very welcoming and informative of the area. Will happily return again.

a lovely location, lots of information on walks & local area.

Comfortable beds & everything we needed spacious, cottage could be updated in some ares.

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.

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.

We had a wonderful three weeks at the Cart Barn.

We highly recommend the property and the location.

I loved it!

so much so I forgot the day and the cleaner popped over to remind me to leave

Another glorious peaceful vacation

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.

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.

Lovely holiday in a great property.

Owners were super friendly and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

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….

Lovely property in a magical setting.

Everything we needed. Rare to find a property with not one one but two superking beds.

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!

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.

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.

A great property in a lovely setting.

We will be sure to return.

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.

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

We had an excellent stay.

The cottage is beautiful and very well situated because it combines nature with sufficient things to see. The owners are really nice and helpful. We are considering returning on one of our next holidays.

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

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.

Lovely cottage, lovely location, all of us, including the GSD settled in and starting relaxing within a day.

Just what we needed.

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!

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.

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.

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.

A lovely stay in the beautiful barn.

Perfect for us and out 2 year old boy who loved all the space and the garden. The rooms are spacious as lovely super king sized beds!

Perfect property for a peaceful rest.

We loved our week and will hopefully be back for more of the same. Frosty walks, excellent pub food and a toasty warm comfy cottage.

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.

A lovely property in a great location - beautifully furnished with all the facilities we could require.

Clare and William were great hosts with good knowledge of the local area and wildlife. Highly recommended, thanks!

A great place to stay.

So quite and peaceful. We will return.

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!

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. Ann Veale

Very friendly and helpful hosts.

The property is beautifully appointed with quality fittings, furnishings, and tastefully decorated. We particularly appreciated all the little details such as quality bedding. The setting was wonderful; in a small hamlet surrounded by the most beautiful countryside. It was a very peaceful week. Would definitely recommend!

Really enjoyed staying here.

The barn is light, spacious, airy and comfortable. It’s really peaceful and the surrounding area is lovely.

A lovely property in the heart of the countryside with peace and quiet in abundance.

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.

A truly delightful and stylishly decorated property which fitted the bill for a week in the the lovely county of Wiltshire with family guests and a dog.

Lovely property in a great rural location.

Very enjoyable break August 2021.

Fabulous property, has all you need for a great stay. Great location, very relaxing.

Lovely cottage and in a perfect setting for relaxing, peace and quite, whilst still being able to access great days out and pubs/restaurants.

The whole family loved The Cart Barn, including or 7 year and 18month old. Thank you Claire & William.

The quality of accommodation was excellent and the location was perfect for our holiday needs

This is a truly brilliant place.

The interior is exceptionally high quality both in design and furnishings but also robust enough to handle my children. Really wonderful stay.

An absolutely brilliant location, with competent and friendly owners willing to go the extra mile.

Would certainly recommend as it very much is an English utopia.

A peaceful spot with pleasant views.

The house is beautiful, clean and well presented.

We had the perfect amount of space and the garden is gorgeous. A perfect stay.
