Cart Lodge has been beautifully renovated to provide a spacious holiday home on all one floor ideal for couples or small families. The open plan lodge give an air of space and tranquillity, with wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. The living space combines a cosy seating area where you can snuggle up to the roaring woodburning stove, which can also be enjoyed from the bedroom as it sits in the middle of both rooms. Enjoy cooking up a storm in the well equipped space kitchen whilst enjoying casual dining at the breakfast bar taking in the views beyond the garden. The Cart Lodge has a large bedroom which can sleep 2 plus up to 2 children on the comfortable day bed and pullout bed, so plenty of space for a young family, or couples looking for a quiet getaway.

Enjoy a day trip to the historic city of Tunbridge Wells which is only 5 miles away and wander around the quaint shops, enjoy a spot of lunch, take a stroll with your four legged friend along the common. A must is a visit to Scotney Castle and Gardens, Sissinghurst Castle or Groombridge Castle, or for train lovers take a trip on a steam train on the Spa Valley Railway which runs through the beautiful Kentish countryside, and turns into the Polar Express for the festive season! And if you fancy a trip to the coast then Hastings is only a 20 mile drive away where you can enjoy a wander along the coastal paths and a spot of fish and chips! With so much to see and do on your doorstep you will love this part of Kent and won't want to leave....

In the Area


Blackham is a small village sitting on the Kent/East Sussex Border, approximately 5 miles from Tunbridge Wells. Tunbridge Wells lies in the heart of the beautiful High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The High Weald has many picturesque towns and villages amid the rolling hills, ancient woods and open heaths. The area boasts many wonderful rural villages and traditional country pubs, along with walks galore and sights to see. Visit the historic spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells where you can browse amongst the independent shops in The Pantiles and High Street, enjoy the many local eateries and places to grab a coffee or a glass of wine, as well as being able to enjoy live music.

There is plenty to do in the beautiful countryside of the Weald including walking, cycling and horse-riding. Take a trip to Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest and explore one of the world’s best collection of conifers, head out for a walk or a mountain bike ride or fly through the tree-tops on the Go-Ape high ropes adventure trail. For more family fun a visit to nearby Bewl Water offers fishing, water sports and cycling.

Lovely break in the countryside 4.3/5

We really loved staying at Cart Lodge, the cottage is very comfortable and is perfect for a short break. We were left a reallt nice welcome hamper as well, which was amazing. We would love to stay again.

Weekend at Cart Lodge 4.3/5

Good location, but not as quiet as we expected due to proximity of Cookery School and neighbours. This was not a problem for us. Very good and welcoming for dog.

Simply Perfect 5/5

Beautifully furnished, in an idyllic spot with lots of small details covered, we loved our time at Cart Lodge and hope to return. An absolute gem.

A very relaxing location 4.8/5

We loved our stay at Cart Lodge for the peace and beauty of the lodge and location. We greatly appreciated the provisions left for us, thank you. The only discomfort was at nighttime. My husband is in recovery from a major stroke and needs more bed space. We would have liked the option of twin beds or a larger size bed. I used the bed settee. The bathroom being the other end of the lodge posed a problem during the night and we were visited by mosquitoes!

Perfect country getaway 5/5

We were really happy with our stay at Cart Lodge. The lodge is beautiful with lovely decor and loads of character but all the modern amenities we could ask for. And the hosts were great, they checked in on us during the storm to make sure we were ok. We would happily recommend anyone to book here so wants a lovely escape to the country.
