Read our reviews on Trip Advisor (see both our listings as West Heath Barn and The Cart Lodge in Great Massingham) to get a flavour of all The Cart Lodge has to offer (January 2018 "We stayed in the Cart Lodge at West Heath Barn over Christmas. I don’t think it could have been improved in anyway, it was just perfect. Beautiful location, fabulous accommodation, spotlessly clean and everything you could need to hand".
