So glad the Cart House came up when I was scrolling through the list of available Somerset properties. Not only is Axbridge a wonderfully vibrant and picturesque little town, but the Cart House itself turned out to be the perfect base for our stay. The old building has been transformed with imagination and sensitivity, creating a large, airy space with tasteful furniture, a modern, well-appointed kitchen, a smart bathroom and a comfy bed. It is all scrupulously clean. We loved the way that the light fell across the living space from the various windows. It was fun to meet Val, who showed us round, and had left us a very handy and generous starter pack. It was a particular boon to have a parking space in this town of narrow streets. The approach is a little tight, but very negotiable with care. It takes just a few minutes to walk into the lively town square where every building is of interest. We ate twice at the Lamb, greatly enjoying the food and the range of seating, at the front and in the extensive garden at the back. Ripley's and the Almshouse Tea Shop were both very pleasant places for coffee and snacks. The parish church is a beauty. We made trips to Wells and the coast, both within easy reach. Oh, and for fans of the BBC's 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder', the town is a must-visit!
