About this property

The Cart Shed, Downton-on-the-Rock, Ludlow, Shropshire

  • A luxury country retreat for up to four guests, The Cart Shed is a beautiful barn conversion on the Downton Estate, a magnificent stretch of countryside that straddles the hills of the Shropshire and Herefordshire border. The single-storey accommodation has a spacious kitchen, dining and sitting room with a wood-burning stove and access to the patio area with views of the rolling countryside. Both double bedrooms are also en-suite, with bedroom two having the flexibility of either a king-size bed or twin single beds.

    Stay at the Cart Shed and you really will feel like you’re getting away from it all. The 5,000-acre Downton Estate is magical, and the River Teme cuts a deep limestone gorge through the beautiful landscape. There are lots of charming village and market towns to explore in the area, including Ludlow, world-famous for its excellent restaurants.

    Also available to book at this beautiful location are: The Stone Barn and The Timber Barn. Perfect as a group booking for a special celebration or gathering. Just a mile away and still on the estate is the lovely Wassell Barn; a fabulous barn conversion sleeping six guests.

    Additional Information:
    Two well-behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge).
    Downton Estate is a romantic, restorative destination for adults. Sorry, no children or infants.
    Within two minutes walking distance to an award winning restaurant, Old Downton Lodge.
    Two electric vehicle chargers are available to share between the Downton Estate properties, located 0.6 miles away in the Estate Office car park.
    Please note, one of the sofas in the images has since been removed to allow for more dining space.

Downton Delight

The Cart Shed is wonderful - spacious; thoughtfully furnished and fitted; warm and comfortable. Its location in the heart of the countryside around Downton is ideal. Thx for the hamper too: what an excellent way to start our vacation.
