The greener features of the barn are carefully incorporated so that you hardly know they are there and require no expertise or knowledge. Central heating comes from the ground source heat pump and solar panels. Rainwater harvesting system works for all grey water. . Timbers replaced in the conversions were cut from local woods, and we have planted 20 acres of new woodland. The traditional lime plastered walls are painted in Earthbourne natural Clay paint, the windows are all made from wood and painted with organic linseed oil paints, Sheepswool insulation is used throughout the building, and natural clay aggregate forms the floor insulation in the limestone floor.
There are 4 herb borders from which guests can enjoy and pick their own herbs.

The hosts, Barbara and Ray, were the most friendly and helpful people you could hope to meet. The Cartshed was ideally located in the countryside with a host of family attractions in easy travelling distance. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A group of 10 of us stayed at The Old Cartshed for my sister’s Hen Do and it was the most perfect weekend! The property is beautiful, with stunning views, and it felt so cosy (especially with the log burning stove already lit for our arrival). There was plenty of room for all 10 of us, including space to relax in the lounge and enough plates/cutlery/glasses (which can be a worry with large groups). The beds and duvets were very comfy too! Barbara had made some delicious flapjack, and even got some balloons for us, which was so thoughtful. She also checked in on us throughout the stay to make sure everything was going smoothly. The location is great, with lots of things to do nearby. We had a walk around the nearby resevoir and a delicious roast at the local pub. Overall, an amazing stay! We will definitely be back, and would recommend to everyone looking for a wonderful and peaceful weekend away!

We had a lovely family get together for Christmas at this beautiful cottage. Bedrooms were spacious and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed and the living room with log burner was v cosy. Barbara, the owner, was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend.

SUPER location and property for a large group. We had 20 people in total, rooms were a great size, mixed between single, double and bunk, with a combo of ensuite or not. All rooms a great size and very accommodating. The kitchen was massive with all the equipment you would need. Kids loved being outside, with all the land and freedom to roam, in a safe space. Barbara was lovely to communicate with and quite possibly makes the best flapjacks in the north. Others clearly agree from the comments I read in the guest notebook, as we were leaving. Really great accommodation and if we find ourselves in the area again, this property is one I would look to stay in.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Old Cartshed! The barn was cosy, comfortable and very well equipped for our big family get togethers! We loved that there are footpaths to walk from the barn around the reservoir and very handy that Leek is within close driving distance. Barbara is a fantastic host and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. This is our third stay here and needless to say won’t be the last! Highly recommend for a countryside retreat.
