Reviews
The Cart Lodge was more than a great place to stay. The welcome by the owner was good. The lodge was very clean and with the floorheating it was very comfortable to stay. The lodge had everything you need for a short or longer stay. It was very well equiped and nothing was missing. The beds were very good. It was also so very quiet. The dogs were very friendly. Nearbij on walking distance there is farm shop with restaurant en and the Victory Inn. In the Victory they serve a excellent lunch and diner. Wickham St. Paul was in the center of the places we were planning to visit this time. Certainly a place to return when it fits in our next journey into the UK.
