We've had a lovely holiday at The Cart Lodge, and thoroughly recommend it to anyone. One tiny thing would improve it, and that's a place to put recycling. Whilst there's a compartment in the kitchen bin for this, there's nowhere outside to put this recycling. This is a very minor thing and it in no way detracted from our stay. Brilliant! Thank you.

Overall a pleasant, peaceful place to stay. The setting was calm and relaxing, exactly what I was hoping for. The one big downside: the peacocks. They were incredibly loud and woke me up every single morning without fail. If you're a light sleeper, be warned - you may want to pack earplugs.There was also no hair dryer provided in the room, which was an inconvenience worth knowing about in advance.I also sent some further, more detailed feedback directly to the management company, but unfortunately I haven't had a response, which was a bit disappointing.Overall: decent, tranquil setting let down by noisy wildlife, a missing amenity or two, and slow follow-up from management.
