Peaceful, well equipped and bigger than you think!

A lovely cottage with all the mod cons for modern life, yet the warmth and comfort of a traditional farm cottage. Good sized bedrooms, well equipped kitchen dinner and warm and a comfortable lounge make The Old Cart House a great base to explore the countryside and the East coast. Or if you are looking for relaxation and to get away from it all the peace and quiet of the location couldn't be better. We will be back.

Lovely stone cottage South of the Moors

This cottage was lovely, cozy and well placed for hiking, visits to the many area attractions and the coastal towns. The hosts are great caretakers, and very welcoming.
