About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Stunning Old Carthouse with seaview

Summary:

Amazing house with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and great lounge area with stunning views of the South Cornwall Sea and St. Michael's Mount. Great coastal walkways and several beaches near by. Perfect in all seasons for all ages. Sleeps 6/7.



The Space:

You'll feel like you've landed in the most beautiful mirage when you arrive. The house is airy, welcoming and has the most beautiful views - no matter the weather. With an open plan kitchen, dining area and lounge, everything is located on one floor for easy access for all ages (except the coolio single bed on the mezzanine in the second bedroom which is a must for teens!). It's fully equipped and towels and linens are freshly supplied for each guest.



Guest Access:

Guests have access to the house and the garden. There are two parking spaces in front of the house. The house is self contained and full of books and brochures to wet the appetite for everything you can do in the local area.



The Neighborhood:

The house is an old barn that sat on the Trebarvah Farm. This is still a working potato and cauliflower farm. There are a few converted cottages near by, but the house is very private. Beaches are a matter of minutes away with a great pub and two cafe's only 5-7 minute walk through the coastal path. The cottage sits on the South Cornwall coastal path, so you'll see not only the dramatic cliffs and ocean, but a host of birds and flora to keep you inspired with nature.



Getting Around:

You will want to have a car. There are so many wonderful sites around, but you'll need a car to reach them. We are at the end of the farm lane, so you'll want your own transport.



Other Things to Note:

There is a organic farm shop near the house and a Tesco, Sainsbury and Morrison Superstores in Penzance, which is 2-3 miles away.



Interaction with Guests:

We won't be there as we live in London. This is our home away from home, but entry is easy through a key lock box. We'll give you the code once your booking is confirmed.
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Free WiFi in public areas and laundry facilities are available. The holiday home includes amenities such as a kitchen and 2 bathrooms.

Beautiful accommodation, views and location

It's our third time staying at the carthouse and we absolutey love it there! Such a beautiful property and the views are to die for! We had a slight issue with full bins on arrival but Katherine soon sorted that out, thank you! We have booked another property next year due to an increase in our party but will most likely be back again the year after

Cornwall coast

The property was fantastic. It was exactly as pictured and described. We were delighted. The only hitch was that an incorrect entry code was sent in the last email, which also lacked contact information, causing some angst until resolved.

Amazing cottage with all the amenities. The photos don’t do this place justice. It’s stunning. The perfect resting spot for a holiday in Cornwall if you’re there to soak in the beautiful coastline!

Beautiful house and spectacular vie

This is a beautiful modern house overlooking Mount St Michael. We loved the accessibility of the local village with its quaint inn and also the proximity of the SW coast path. A bit of confusion getting into the property with an access code that had been changed ( finally found the correct code in a message). Also had alight out in the master bathroom. We had fine communication with the owner beforehand but difficult to reach on site. We loved arriving to scones, clotted cream and jam and fresh flowers. All in all a lovely home and we really enjoyed our stay.

Cornwall stay

Generally speaking very good, couple of minor things lamp over en suite basin not working and seperate bathroom plug problem. We didn't inform manager about these because they didn't bother us. We had been informed that dishwasher was playing up, but a new one is on order. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, the property being just a short walk to the beach and close enough to many other interesting places, it was an enjoyable stay.

Fantastic property

We had an amazing week at Perranuthnoe. The location is great for an active family - short walk down the hill to the beach and fab beach cafe (pizza night, a must!). The house is great - superb views and sunsets. Everything you could need for your holiday. Great stuff…!

Exceeded Expectations

We had a marvelous stay in the Old Carthouse. The ocean views are spectacular! The house is situated to take full advantage of the views overlooking St. Michael's Mount and the coastline. The house is beautifully decorated and furnished - the stonework and woodwork are lovely. Everything is modern, tasteful and functional... everything is there that you need - just unpack your bags and enjoy! We did lots of walking along the Coastal Path and it's practically outside your door... couldn't ask for a more perfect location! The cottage and back garden are very private and quiet but it's just a short drive to Penzance for shopping and eating. Several major supermarkets are also just minutes away. Many thanks to Katherine for being such a gracious host. The lovely vase of fresh roses upon our arrival, as well as the fresh scones and jam, were an extra special touch! We hope to be back again!

A wonderful time

From the moment we walked into The Old Carthouse with that view in front of us we were totally bewitched. The Barn is so well furnished & equipped with everything you would need throughout your stay. The lovely garden is private & sheltered even if it rained you can still sit out at the large table under the canopy & watch the weather pass over the village & countryside, we have loved it & will be back.

Very well appointed

The old carthouse was a 5 star home away from home. The home is bright and clean. We were greeted with fresh flowers, delicious scones, clotted cream and jam. And that view!!! Wow!!! St Michaels mount was the highlight of a stunning panorama of the ocean. Location was fabulous. Short drives to st Ives, land's End and about an hour and a half from tintagel castle. The coastal path just outside our door! If we ever return to this area we would definitely stay here again.
