Guests say
The Cart House in Bideford is highly praised for its tranquility, stunning views, and wildlife. Guests appreciate the comfortable accommodation, warm welcome from host Lucy, and the seclusion for a peaceful break. It's ideal for stargazers and walkers, though the remote location requires planning for supplies.
There is no specific mention of cleanliness in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide a score for this category.
The location is celebrated for its beautiful views, seclusion, and proximity to North Devon attractions. However, the remote setting and distance to shops are noted, which might not suit everyone.
Guests consistently mention the comfort of the cottage, highlighting the 'most comfy bed' and the warm, relaxing environment, suggesting a high level of satisfaction in this category.
The cottage is described as well-furnished, well-equipped, and having unique features like pitch and putt greens. The lack of light pollution is a bonus for astronomy enthusiasts.
The host, Lucy, is commended for her thoughtfulness, including a welcome pack and checking in on guests' safe arrival. While such gestures are appreciated, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

This was our 25th visit to the Carthouse. We find it to be a very relaxing week away from hard work and Lucy is a very good host. We will go again..

My wife and I had a great relaxing week at the cart house, had everything anyone could need.very comfortable. The host Lucy left a lovely welcoming pack , and texted us to make sure we arrived safely. If you love wildlife you won’t be disappointed. We kept the bird feeders topped up for our week , and they were in constant demand. Just keep in mind, the Cart house is located down about 3 miles of narrow winding lanes ,and no local shops. Good tip . Bring everything you need for duration of your stay.
