Superb accommodation

We enjoyed a lovely short stay at the Cart House which we found to be superbly appointed and just what we needed. The Cart House is superbly equipped and offers excellent accommodation. We were only there for a couple of days with friends but it was a great base and suited us very well for our short visit to the area. The owners popped by to say hello and they were really friendly and very helpful. We would recommend this to anyone considering a visit to the area.

Loverly Stay at The Cart House

The Cart House is a loverly barn conversion type holiday home. The views from the back patio are blissful, we even saw deer wandering through the fields. Well located for trips to Winchester, Southampton and Portsmouth. The only downsides were the car noise from the road taht runs past the property and the stylish, but uncomfortably soft sofas in the lounge.

Perfect little break

What a great stay, full of character! Hosts have thought of everything, the little details make all the difference; books for children, decaf teabags to name just a couple! Beautiful location, easy to get to many local attractions and peaceful enough just to relax in! Will definitely be returning!!

Early spring break

The house was beautiful, spotlessly clean and well equipped. My young daughter loved the chest of toys and games. Great location, easy to find and only a short drive to Winchester and Marwell Zoo. Would certainly revisit if in the area again.

A lovely stay.

We recently stayed at the Cart house for a week, it is a beautiful property, very clean inside and so well equipped with everything we could have needed and more. A real home from home stay, the food hamper on our arrival was a lovely touch and a real treat. Vanessa and Jonathan came by to meet us on our first night, which was a lovely touch and lovely to meet them. Vanessa even went out to buy us some tomatoes as I had forgotten to bring ours, very kind of her and very much appreciated. We had a lovely stay, the only little niggle was the road noise, especially early in the morning.
