The Cart Lodge is a beautifully converted historic building that perfectly blends traditional rural character with contemporary comfort. Thoughtfully restored using natural materials and sympathetic design, this spacious and light-filled venue is ideal for film and photography shoots, intimate workshops, wellness retreats, or creative gatherings.
