Good facilities with one or two maintenace issues but we had a very comfortable stay

We had two of the Barns for a family weekend which worked well for us. The location is beautiful and very quiet yet not far from town and main roads. The accommodation was well appointed and we had a comfortable stay.

A small slice of heaven

We had a really comfortable stay, Cart Lodge is really well appointed, with quality fixtures and fittings and spotlessly clean. It’s in a wonderful country setting, and an ideal place to relax and unwind, and explore the Essex countryside. Carmel is easily contactable and a gracious host. I’d highly recommend Cart Lodge and we’ll definitely be staying again

So good to be back home!

Let me just say that Carmel and Jason are amazing hosts, extremely accomodating, friendly and genuinely nice people. The barn was great with comfortable bed, fully equipped kitchen, soft towels, all the comforts of home. Pair that with the peace and quiet of the English countryside it's a stay that can't be beat. The resident chickens laid eggs which you were free to help yourself. The surrouding area was full of rabbits, pheasants and other wildife, quiet lanes and public footpaths for lovely evening strolls. I would definitely recommend, it's a shame that we could not stay longer. Thank you so much.

Beautiful countryside property

We had such a lovely time staying in the Hay Barn cottage. It was even more beautiful than the pictures & Carmel was extremely helpful & hospitable. The gardens & views are wonderful & the children's play area tucked away behind the barns proved very useful. It is remote enough to feel as though you are deep in the Essex countryside, but you do not feel cut off. The property is spacious & very comfortable with all you need to make you feel at home. Our friends were all very impressed & we do hope to be back. We certainly recommend it!

Thank you, we're glad you enjoyed your stay. We plan to upgrade the play area next year so children will find it even more enjoyable.

Two weeks at the Cart Lodge in July

What a wonderful place to stay! EVERYTHING on the website was more than we expected! The lodge was beautifully appointed with everything one could possibly want. The cleaners did a wonderful job before and during our stay. We cannot thank Carmel & Jason enough as they were so attentive and understanding of our requests....... we misplaced the house keys and Jason immediately came to our rescue! We will definitely return and highly recommend anyone else who is looking for a wonderful luxury country experience. We are very lucky that our best friends live only a mile away so they fed and entertained us but I don't think they would be that generous to others so we cannot recommend any where other than their home! We are very sad to be going home to San Francisco and will think about Lulu and Bonnie often as they greeted us each morning with clucks and gurgles...they are the resident chickens!
