This was my fourth visit to the Cart Shed — and that says a lot! This is a lovely home from home with several key benefits. First, the spacious high-ceilinged open-plan living/dining/kitchen area with a wonderful log burner (basket of logs included); second, the benefit of two bedrooms, a good size double room and a smaller but perfectly adequate single; third, the outside patio with glorious open views of the Suffolk fields and sky. I spent many happy hours both inside and outside and returned home relaxed and refreshed. Definitely recommended!

We had an amazing holiday here at the Cart Shed. We love the location and the Cottage is perfect for us, comfortable and great to have the games room as well. We stayed next door last year, and loved the location and the cottage so much we booked this one. We will definitely be staying again.
