A few days in Kent
We had a lovely stay at Cart Lodge using it as a base for exploring the area. Each time we came home from a day out we felt that we were coming home as the house was so warm, well equipped and comfortable.
Very good communication for arrival
Thank you

Lovely Location
Cart Lodge offered a lovely, comfortable welcome with beautiful views and plenty of good walks from the door to enjoy. Very well appointed, and great to have a good sized secure garden to relax in with our dogs on the very warm sunny days we were lucky enough to have for our visit.

Wonderful stay
What a stunning place! From the very beginning, everything was just perfect—clear instructions, a spotlessly clean cottage, a fully equipped kitchen with everything you might need and even more, comfy beds, and amazing views all around. There even was a gift for a doggie :) I can't recommend it enough!

Great week away
Lovely comfortable converted barn. The standard of everything was excellent especially the well equiped kitchen.
The property managers were particularly helpful.
We did a morning cookery course in the school/barn next door, which was great fun (didn't hear any noise) .
Will highly recommend to friends and definetly would go back .

Weekend at Cart Lodge
Good location, but not as quiet as we expected due to proximity of Cookery School and neighbours. This was not a problem for us. Very good and welcoming for dog.

Perfect country getaway
We were really happy with our stay at Cart Lodge. The lodge is beautiful with lovely decor and loads of character but all the modern amenities we could ask for. And the hosts were great, they checked in on us during the storm to make sure we were ok. We would happily recommend anyone to book here so wants a lovely escape to the country.
