The Cart House

Omg it’s just fantastic here 3rd time already booked for next year.

Bring it on Pepsi Girl said

It needs to be listed as a long track to property.

Our car was damaged by the track and cost £400 to repair. Not suitable for low profile tyres. Suitable for 4 x 4. The welcome pack was lovely. Property was clean. Bed pillows very thin. All in all a nice stay at property but people need to be aware of farm track.

3 peaceful nights in this lovely big, open plan converted barn.

Long farm lane off the beaten track, easy to find, just follow the owner’s directions. Comfortable big beds. Large bathroom with huge shower. Perfectly situated for glorious Lost Gardens of Heligan and Eden Project, good pubs nearby including St Ewe with its connections to the Gardens, beautiful church too.

Great property, up a long bumpy farm track - easy to miss first time.

Lovey to see Trevor the peacock in the garden, even if he didn't show us his beautiful tail. Personally we would have liked it to be an enclosed secure garden for a small dog.

The property itself was lovely.

The farmtrack from the road to the property was difficult to find and horrendous to drive on. You really need a 4 by 4, not an ordinary family car. I realise the real holiday season hasn`t started yet, so hopefully it will get sorted by then.

Lovely peaceful location, property was spotless and spacious.

The sat nav took me to the wrong property twice, so I asked the owners where it was.

They pointed me in the general direction, and the track leading to the property was extremely bumpy and not suitable for my car. We had booked for Christmas, but there were no decorations up. The second bed had been made as promised, but there was no heating switched on in that bedroom. We went inside, but my wife became very upset, so we decided to leave and not stay. I contacted the owner and explained that we wouldn’t be coming back, as I didn’t want any more stress. We booked a Premier Inn for that night and then moved to another place for the rest of our stay. On a positive note, there was bread, milk, scones, and cream provided, which was a nice touch. It has taken me some time to write this, but after thinking about it, I decided to share our experience.

2nd time here so quiet and so piece full lovely place to stay would definitely recommend

Super welcome pack.

Lovely large barn conversion. Really big bathroom and bedroom. Kitchen had everything we needed. Bed was very comfy. Central location to all attractions. Several pubs not too far away. Property really dog friendly.

The Cart House was a beautiful, clean and comfy place to stay.

We were meet by tea, coffee, bread, butter and a cream tea! The owners were great although our favourite has to be Fred the friendly spaniel. He checked in with us most days to make sure that we had everything we needed!

It is a lovely property,a nice conversion with plenty of space.

Everything worked well and ensured a trouble free stay. Will was very helpful in sorting a couple of queries and otherwise left us to enjoy our holiday. For several family reasons it was a memorable week.

great location to discover the south.

nice house. definitely a place to return.

Enjoyed a wonderful relaxing time ‘on the farm’.

Brilliant welcome pack. Delicious Cornish butter, scones and jam, tea, coffee, etc. Very peaceful location even with the peacocks. Courtyard was a real sun trap. Nice and close to the Eden Project, Mevagissey, Fowey, etc Super comfortable bed. Able to watch Netflix, Amazon logging into our own accounts on smart tv. Can’t wait to return.

We had a great stay at Cart House and was left some goodies for when we arrived thanks for those.

Fred the dog came to see us and also Trevor the peacock and his family. The owners saw us but very much left to it but were about if we needed them. The outside area is a great sun trap (if you get the sun). The outside was enclosed so the dog was safe. Thanks for a great stay.

Really enjoyed our stay.

Brilliant welcome pack of was great after gruelling drive in rain and wind. Very muddy best to take wellies to walk the dog. The Cart House was very laid out would highly recommend.

The cottage was clean and comfortable.

Very quiet and peaceful for a relaxing stay.

lovely cottage and a great welcome pack

Lovely place to stay , great for our dog as he had plenty on room outside , close to beaches and towns .

A little bit of grass and a washing line just our opinion nothing major just would of been nice

Lovely barn conversation on a quiet farm.

It is such a peaceful location to get away from it all. The cottage was very clean, comfortable and roomy. The welcome package was a delightful selection of Cornish goods, including scones and clotted cream, it really is the best welcome package we have ever received. Lots to do in the local area with wonderful beaches not far away. We would definitely use this cottage again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cart House, we found it very comfortable and suited our needs perfectly, and hope to return and see you in the future.

Wow!

! What can I say except we had the most amazing stay in The Cart House. It was so lovely and the welcome pack of goodies was a lovely gift to find on our arrival. This barn conversion had everything we needed and more!! It was spacious, exceptionally clean and even had bi-folding doors that we managed to have open a couple of times even though it was April!! Will and Sarah were the perfect hosts on a family farm. We also, had Trevor the peacock and his family visit us most days at the door! There is nothing to not like here and we will be returning again as it was ideal for visiting my sister just down the road.

This is spacious, clean and well equipped cottage.

The Cornish welcome pack was scrumptious. The enclosed yard was a big plus for us but there is a large gap under the gate which our 9month old lurcher could fit under, on the positive Fred the spaniel came to visit and had a great time playing with Wilfred. As said in previous reviews the lane to the cottage is very bumpy and needs using at very slow speed .

This was a wonderfully peaceful break away which began with the warmest of welcome treats awaiting us on arrival.

The property was perfect and had everything we needed. We really appreciated the extra work that went into the whole site especially the track resurfacing after heavy rain. Every care was taken by the owners to make our stay memorable. Perfect situated for Helligan, Charlestown and the Eden Project! Thank you.

Lovely property, situated right in the middle of lots of things to do, not far from the coast and close to good facilities, eating out and shops.

Spacious and clean, everything worked well, and very comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay and would come again. If we had any suggestions at all it would be the addition of some rugs, or other soft furnishings (curtains, cushions etc..), although not having them them didn't matter, it would help soften the sounds inside.

Excellent accommodation and owner helpful when contacted.

Poor condition of approach track, excessively uneven, rutted with rocks and muddy. Of course recent weather poor but surface needs levelling, my car tyres suffered.

Had such a fantastic stay at this property, we loved our goodies on arrival as well as trev waiting for us.

The cottage was clean comfortable and cosy and the hosts we very contactable. Would recommend this cottage to anyone who is after a lovely peaceful place we look forward to returning again.

Had an absolutely amazing stay at the cathouse visiting family for Xmas 2023, beautiful place, fantastic facilities, would really recommend this property, its a must, even though our stay was in miserable December, it was still a pleasure, I'm sure in the summer months this accommodation will be a dream,

The Carthorse is one of the best holiday homes we have had the pleasure of staying in.

The rooms are large seating is good and everything you need is there.The whole property is a credit to Will and Sarah.The addition of Trevor the peacock was a real bonus. Welcome pack was best we have had in our many travels.

A very lovely place VERY clean and comfortable, a nice welcome pack on arrival

i found this place amazing and would recommend this place to my friends and family i would come back again

The cottage was nice and spacious, could have done with table lamps in lounge also some cushions but other than that very good.

Also very lovely welcome pack. Garden was secured enough for our dogs. The only other downside there was a 0.4 mile very bumpy track to cottage, we did notice some of the pot holes were being filled.

Excellent stay.

All we needed in the cart house. Quite and peaceful. Bird life amazing.

The Cart House was perfect!

A clean, comfortable and perfectly located base for our holiday. The welcome pack on arrival was an unexpected treat and we all enjoyed the scones, delicious butter and clotted cream. It was lovely to see Trevor the peacock every day and to meet Will at the start of the week. I only wish we'd had a little more time to take Will up on the offer of some clay pigeon shooting. I have no hesitation on recommending The Cart House as a first class place to spend your holiday.

The Cart House has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Excellent accommodation in a rural location but in easy reach of all that Cornwall has to offer. Very welcoming owners.

We have just returned from our week long stay at The Cart House, and it was amazing.

The accommodation itself was clean and well furnished and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The owners, Will and Sarah are lovely and were accommodating when we asked for a tour of the farm and Will took the time to explain the farming way of life to us city folk. Although The Cart House is on a working farm, it isn’t noisy. It was nice and quiet at night with just a few noises from Trevor the Peacock, but nothing annoying. We took our 10 month old puppy Watson, and he made friends with the owners dog and he paid us daily visits, which we loved. We will definitely return next year as it is a lovely place with lovely people.

Fantastic location, very quiet, beautiful countryside and very convenient for beaches and close to St Austell for shopping and restaurants.

Thanks to Will and Sarah

An amazing place to stay, beautiful building, Trevor the peacock is a wonderful addition the welcome goodies were amazing the home made jam superb will be booking again next year !

! Thank you

This property is very well furnished comfortable throughout.

The shower is superb, The kitchen is of a good size. A lovely welcome pack on arrival. We would stay again. The farm track is a bit of a challenge, but don't let it put off.

Absolutely stunning cottage, very spacious, well equipped and so peaceful.

Amazing shower. Plenty of hot water also great heating. Enjoyed the visits from Trevor the peacock! We will definitely stay again

Wonderfully quiet but close to the coast.

Based down a farm track with no passing traffic. Trevor the Peacock greeted us every morning, but we didn’t hear him from inside the well insulated barn. Private gravel courtyard with plenty of parking. Very cosy in January. Well fitted and spotlessly clean. Our only observation is that a bigger door mat would be better if the weather had been wet. Plenty of room for our small dog crate. Helpful owners. Thoughtful cream tea waiting for us and bread/milk/butter/jam/cream/tea/coffee. Well stocked washing up liquid/dishwasher tablets/washing tablets/toilet rolls/hand soap. Lots of fluffy towels and a large shower, plenty of hot water. Wifi worked well. Everything we needed for a relaxing break. We will definitely book again.

Overall, excellent - we loved it and expect to come back again!

The only very minor addition could be to add a couple of extra mugs to go with the gorgeous scones and clotted cream, and maybe a hand towel in the kitchen. Other than that, everything we love in a holiday let - simple, uncluttered, and wonderfully spacious!

This was our 4th stay.

Love the location. Will and Sarah keep the property in tip top condition

We had a very warm welcome.

The Cart House was clean and we had everything we needed. We had a lovely stay and the place was handy for a lot of local places to visit. We felt very welcome with our dog and there was a field where we could walk her as well. I would recommend this place highly.

First time at the Carthouse but by far the best stay in years of Sykes hires.

Host friendly and helpful Cottage beautiful and very roomy. Whilst the weather was poor in no way was our break made any the less enjoyable. Loved the visit of the tame peacock. Would recommend this to all.

Perfect!

The Cart House was everything that we thought it would be and more. A lovely peaceful setting with comfortable beds in large airy bedrooms, a huge shower with constant hot water and a large comfortable, and well equipped, lounge/diner/kitchen. The outside space was safe and secure for our dog and the owners (Will and Sarah) very kindly allowed us access to a field to let him run off some energy. We arrived to find tea, coffee, milk, bread, butter, scones, jam and cream which was unexpected but delicious after a very long journey. We felt that if we needed anything or required help with anything that nothing would be a problem to Will and Sarah. Would have no hesitation in recommending or staying here again. Thank you for a lovely holiday!

A secluded haven which was perfect for us and our dog.

Owners were friendly and accommodating. Location was convenient for getting to most places. Would recommend.

Great location, clean with all mod cons.

Very comfortable. Would certainly recommend it to friends and family.

Very clean and spacious It was the perfect property for us and our large Labrador.

We would highly recommend and would definitely like to stay again.

So good we keep coming back !

Booked again for later this year.

A very stylish and comfortable accommodation.

Very welcoming hosts.

We have been coming to Cornwall for our family holidays for the last 6 years and this was truly one of the best holiday homes we have stayed in.

It was a lovely place to stay, plenty of space in the house and it was in a perfect location for us to travel to where we like to go. Our children loved it too and really enjoyed staying on a farm. The owners were very friendly, accommodating and helpful. And we really appreciated the very thoughtful welcome package on arrival. Will definitely be staying here again.

Lovely spacious cottage.

Close to great amenities, including Trevor the peacock!

We had an amazing stay at the cart house.

Lovely place to stay, clean and comfortable. Everything being on one level was great especially with young children. The owners were lovely and the cottage is in a really good location. We will definitely be staying again!

What an amazing holiday.

We have never met Will and Sarah before, but meeting them felt like meeting old friends. They were so welcoming and friendly. The house itself was amazing so spacious which was good for us as two friends came with us and one was in a wheelchair ♿️ so it made life easy for him. We also had our dog Maya with us and Will said she was more than welcome to run around in the field. We also met Trevor the peacock he paid us a visit every day along with a lot of other birds, if your a bird watcher you would love it. It was so peaceful and relaxing we couldn’t ask for a better holiday, so much so my husband and I are booked in to go back next year. The local pub The Crown inn at St Ewe was lovely and the staff and locals very friendly. With an open fire great food, dog friendly, great staff what more could we ask for. Thank you Will and Sarah for an amazing week, we were sorry to leave.

We’ve been visiting cottages in Cornwall for 20+ years and The Cart House is right up there with the best of them.

Highly recommend a stay there!!!

We had a lovely stay at the Cart House with our dog.

Clean, Well equipped,Quiet, loads of space and great rural location set on a working farm. Will and Sarah , the owners were always on hand for the odd question or chat. We we will return in the future.

Excellent location on quiet farm, close to number of attractions and quiet beach within 10 mins.

We will definitely be going back.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Cart House.

The cottage was exactly as described and was clean and comfortable and in a very quiet and peaceful location. There were lots of places to visit close by and we enjoyed our stay even though the weather could have been a bit better.

Excellent accommodation - very clean, comfortable, well equipped with good quality items and a nice welcome pack.

A private outdoor space & ample parking. Very good WiFi included. Very quiet, rural location.

Great welcome food pack on arrival, bread, milk, scones, cream, jam.

We did not realise that the property had 2 bedrooms. Property is spacious with large rooms, large shower and lots of space to park. Did not realise the owner had a farm shop until we were leaving. There is quite a long track once you come off the road to the property. Name of farm could be more prominent on post as it could easily be missed.

Lovely house, comfortable, well equipped and spacious.

Only comment we would like more walking, pub/restaurant information in the cottage. The items in the welcome pack were from a local farm shop, maybe a leaflet about this shop would have been useful. Would recommend as a quiet stay on a farm, but well located for visits to beaches, harbours, the lost gardens of Heligan, and some lovely coastal walks.

Cottage is fantastic.

Very clean easily to heat on colder nights. Everything you need in the kitchen and the rooms. We will be back. The daily greetings of the peacock were so entertaining and welcome.

The Cart House was probably the best self catering accommodation that we have stayed in.

Location is reasonably central for St Mawes, Fowey, Truro, Mevaggisy

Lovely tranquil place to stay in a really beautiful part of Cornwall.

Loved it!

Had a great time cottage was excellent and enjoyed the break , everything you needed there and more

Super property would stay again

The accommodation was immaculate.

It has easy access to various places. The owner was more than accommodating and the welcome pack was very welcome. The cottage is down a narrow lane and we first thought this is isolated but it was so quiet and peaceful a get away from it all cottage. I would recommend this cottage as it was just in the right location to get to places.

We loved our recent stay!

The cottage was immaculate and had all the home comforts we needed to make our stay easy and comfortable. The added personal touches of milk, butter, tea, coffee, bread and of course fresh scones with clotted cream and jam made it extra special. We loved spotting Trevor the peacock on the window and the location of cottage was great for Asda (about 20 mins away) and you must visit Mevagissey which is about 15 minutes away. A lovely stay and a great place for a family holiday.

Oh my days, this cottage is a dream and in the best ever location far away from life, so good for mental health it’s unreal!

Absolutely loved our stay here, the cottage is stunning, modern, spotlessly clean and had everything for us- enough towels, cooking utensils, lovely welcome pack- jam is beautiful and our welcoming from little Trevor every day (peacock) is amazing! We has travelled all over Cornwall for many years and stayed in lots of dire out dated overpriced cottages and this one is the best one we have stayed in. There is plenty of flies around but you are on a farm so if you don’t like flies you might not like- there is a fly trap inside which helps just bring some insect repellent. We had a request for Sykes to contact the owners of this property and ask them a big ask for us, which Sykes contacted the owners to ask them and the owners said yes and we are forever thankful and grateful! They are very reasonable and just wish a lot more owners were like them. Also this house has the best WiFi ever- free WiFi and the fastest WiFi ever and you never lose connection in the house, I have always had the worst WiFi every part of Cornwall. The shower is amazing- normal water pressure you can actually wash your hair. If you are two girls here with thick long hair and have a long shower, you’ll need to press the boost button for the other person to have a hot shower :) The Description of this cottage says the owners live next door, they are behind, you really can’t see their house at all and you feel like your cottage is the only one there out in the middle of nowhere and they leave you be, wouldn’t know they lived there or that you had neighbours. I miss this cottage so much. (Thank you owners for building this beauty and sharing this beautiful unique location)
