Miranda September 2022

“What a fabulous cottage, we had a fantastic time!”

Ben and Maureen were excellent hosts, so friendly and welcoming. The cottage itself is just perfect with everything you could possibly need. The location was ideal, there was so much to do right on the door step but equally we also enjoyed relaxing at the cottage enjoying the beautiful views especially from the balconies. We will definitely be back!

- Miranda, September 2022

The owners will be delighted that you had a fantastic time and cannot wait to welcome you back! Manor Cottages Property Owner
Lisa September 2022

“We enjoyed our stay in this lovely, clean and comfortable accommodation with beautiful views across the valley.”

We also enjoyed meeting our hosts Maureen and Ben (and Rumble) who were very helpful and kind. Ben does love a bit of banter so were well suited. There was no mention of the dishwasher for some reason in the listing which could encourage more people to book. A happy holiday :)

- Lisa, September 2022

Thank you for providing us with feedback on your stay at The Cartins. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you again one day in the future. We appreciate your comments regarding the listing, and have now amended this to include a dishwasher. Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Paul June 2022

“We had a wonderful few days at The Cartins where Ben and Maureen are fantastic hosts.”

The property is extremely comfortable with stunning views and is in a beautiful area with access to Selsey Common right on it’s doorstep. It is a really peaceful location with great wildlife to watch from the properties balconies and our cockapoo Maisie was in heaven having had all of the secure gardens to explore alongside Rumble the friendly resident dog. Would highly recommend and will definitely be going back!

- Paul, June 2022

“Beautiful area.”

Spectacular views. Friendly hosts. Lovely dog. Clean, large, well-lit cottage with loads of storage space and great having a balcony on each side. As nice a place as we have ever holidayed in, and all the more special after 22 months stuck at home due to the uncertainty of the virus pandemic.

“A warm and friendly welcome from owner Don and his lovely dog Rumble, the home is spotlessly clean, warm and spacious.”

The all round views are stunning. Ideally placed for walking. Very well placed for visiting the delightful Cotswolds villages. Would like to visit again in the summer to take advantage of the balconies and would recommend to any couples wanting a peaceful break in great surroundings.

“The cottage was in excellent condition and is well maintained.”

It had everything that you need to have an enjoyable stay. The views are superb and we even had a visit from 2 deer in the field next door. The owners are very nice people who could not do enough to ensure that we had an enjoyable stay.

The property

What a spot!

The Cartins is a sweet, beautifully presented barn conversion situated on the edge of Selsley Common and with cracking views in all directions.

The property, which sits in the grounds of the owner's home, was once the barn where 'carts where left in' - Cartins - and is in an elevated position in the grounds, and with the Living Room upstairs the views across the hills are almost uninterrupted.

Guests can walk, literally, from their front door to the common and enjoy a good ramble and soak up the fresh air.

Inside, the cottage is spread across two floors,with an excellent, sparkling kitchen / diner downstairs, while upstairs is the living room and bedroom, with all rooms very large.

The barn, therefore, is very spacious for two but with a sofa bed can easily accommodate two more people if required*.

As you would expect there are many good pubs nearby, with the The Bell only 5 mins walk away.

This is an attractive and large self catering barn, perfect for walkers - or those who like to do nothing except look at the view!
