Guests say
The Cart Shed in Rochester offers a peaceful, nature-filled retreat with comfortable accommodation and friendly hosts. Guests appreciate the clean, cosy environment and the convenience for both local exploration and trips to London. The surrounding walks, wildlife, and farm experiences add to the charm, though one mention of nocturnal disturbances suggests a minor issue.
Guests consistently describe the property as clean, cosy, and well-maintained, with only one isolated incident of rats mentioned, which seems to be an exception rather than the rule.
The location is praised for its natural beauty, tranquillity, and proximity to local amenities and transport links for London. The narrow access road is noted, but without causing any issues for guests.
Reviews highlight the comfortable beds and the luxury of having two shower rooms. The property is described as a home away from home, suggesting a high level of comfort.
The property is well-equipped, with a large kitchen and necessary appliances. The mention of rats in the roof space indicates a potential issue with maintenance, but this seems to be a one-off.
While guests express gratitude for the experience and the friendly hosts, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren, entspannten Aufenthalt, in einer sehr schönen gemütlichen Unterkunft. Diese war genau wie beschrieben. Es gibt eine große Küche, die mit allen nötigen ausgestattet war. Die Besitzerin war sehr freundlich und telefonisch jeder Zeit erreichbar. Das Cottages liegt ein Stück weiter draußen und bietet ringsherum viel Natur und Ruhe. Für uns war alles perfekt.
