Rachael

Owners were always on hand to help, when needed. Very friendly people. Cottage is very cosy and comfortable. It has everything in you need. The properly is beautiful and so are the surroundings. We stayed there from 23rd30th December. The cottage was decorated lovely for Christmas. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Unfortunately our stay was cut short after finding flees in the property living and sleeping area. Very disappointing as we had been looking forward to our stay in Cornwall.

We booked both cottages for our family after a previous visit. Both cottages were delightful, clean, great location and had everything we needed and more. As we had booked both we had the full garden area including hammocks, hot tub and bar area etc to ourselves. The space is really safe for children of which we had a young 1.5 year old with us who loved being free. When we next visit Cornwall this will be the first place we try to book. Thank you Matt and Dan for your hospitality.

Amanda

Such a beautiful home so thoughtfully restored and illustrating original charm with modern comforts. The Cart House had everything we needed to ensure a relaxing & peaceful stay. The hot tub was a lovely addition and overlooked the sprawling Cornish countryside a view you could never tire of! Our host, Matt, was an amazing guy & was so accommodating and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. If we visited this area of Cornwall again, the Cart House would be where we'd chose to stay.

Hollie

Booked out both cottages and both were brilliant! Many thanks

Daniel

Fabulous stay at The Cart House ! A lovely character property in its own right and even better when used with the similarly sized neighbouring property, allowing friends family two families of four in our case to holiday together whilst having their own space and enjoying excellent facilities. The owner Matt is a great guy, very friendly and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend staying here and Im sure well be back ourselves thanks Matt for a great stay.

This cottage was absolutely beautiful, it contained everything necessary plus more! Matt had thought of everything, always available if anything needed. Resident cats were very welcoming, little Sausage was a real little character. The cottage was situated in a great location, you felt like you were in the middle of nowhere but in fact you were central to everywhere. Hope to return in the future. Thankyou for a perfect getaway.

Barbara

Prior to setting off spoke with Matt, who confirmed directions for how to find them. Lovely warm welcome on arrival and manage to get in early, which was appreciated. Although a little off the beaten track it is a super location and a beautiful accommodation, with outdoor space and friendly kitties!! Well equipped and ultra modern facilities included, hot tub not utilised by us weather! but lovely setting. Easy to get about from this location, 30mins drive in all directions you will find something that will entertain all tastes. Thanks Matt and family for having us, great week of relaxation and exploring.

Stephen

Good location, spacious and well equipped, amiable host. And a friendly cat called Sausage!

Absolutely lovely place. The photos really don't do it enough justice. Has everything and more we needed. Ideal location with lovely beaches no more than 20 minutes away. The host Matt and his brother get full marks.

Michaela

We had an amazing stay at The Cart House. The venue was stunning and the extra touches and facilities made it extra special. The host Matt was very accommodating and was on hand most of the time. The photographs on the website do not do justice to how lovely the surroundings are. I would definitely recommend this cottage and go back again.

The Cart House is in a lovely country setting and is within easy reach of many of Cornwalls beaches and attractions. The Cart House is comfortable and well equipped and Mat is always on hand to give advice and sort out any problems.

This is a beautiful barn conversion with every convenient thing thought through. The owners were very welcoming and the resident cats Sausage and Dominic were lovely.

Excellent accommodation, well planned and fitted out and in a good, quiet location. The owner, Matt, welcomed us on arrival and was very helpful during our stay. Overall very comfortable but the second bedroom is a bit cramped for adults and has no hanging space. Outdoor barbecue play area hot tub not used but a great idea for families.

The Cart House offers us a great location to explore Cornwall. Matt the owner ensures a great stay offering a warm welcome, is onhand to assist with anything, including onsite help or in advising on places to visit, thus giving guests a 5 experience!

The Cart House is a top rate accommodation, all facilities needed for a comfortable stay. Matt and his brother Dan have done an excellent conversation of two dilapidated barns to a very high standard, nothing was to much trouble. Situated in the countryside for a peaceful stay. The accommodation is situated less than 5 minutes from the A38 and less than 10 minutes from Liskeard for local supermarkets. Ideally situated for places like Looe, Polperro, Mevigissey, Newquay, all within 34 hour and Truro and Falmouth within 112 hr Some lovely places to eat in all mentioned above and also a lovely pub in st Neot the London Inn, well recommended about 15 minutes away. We would like wish Matt and Dan all the very best and we are sure to return in the future.

We recently spent a week at the Cart House. It is a fantastic barn conversion in a countryside location and really does look as good in real life as it does in the photographs. Matt is a great host, with plenty of helpful local advice. Brother Dan has fitted and repurposed some brilliant retrophone tech to satisfy your inner geek. Matt also showed us around their neighbouring property Elvan Cottage Ref. 976855 which is finished to an equally high standard. We would have no hesitation in booking either property again in the future.

I spent another week for the fourth time at both cottages. They are just so relaxing and the family and the cats are all friendly. What an amazing holiday

Our 2nd stay at The Cart House , a lovely , clean & comfortable well equipped cottage in a peaceful quiet location . Easy to get to main routes for getting out & about . Matt owner was friendly & welcoming on arrival & see us off on departure. Both Matt & brother Dan were helpful with directions , places to visit & would stop for a chat . Thanks again , we had a great week . All the best Tracy & Sean

The Cart House is superbly well kept, Matt the owner is polite and ensured our stay was welcoming and thoroughly enjoyable. The location is ideal for travelling around the South Coast of Cornwall as well as the countryside. A perfect getaway.

Excellent, superbly appointed barn conversion, probably the best we have stayed in. Great location for touring South Cornwall just off A38. Loved the outside bar and spa pool and the 2 extremely friendly owners cats , Sausage and Dominic. 100 recommended

Brilliant really enjoyable week, the owners could not have been more friendly or helpful, if you need any information about the area just ask Matt or Dan, We would certainly stay here again. Well done guys!

Andrew

The Cart House is well situated to explore the surrounding area being so close to the A38, but still in a very rural location. The upside down nature of accommodation lends itself so well to the property in terms of views and the bedrooms being cool which is of considerable benefit when sleeping in hot weather. All facilities you could ever want are provided, supplemented by quirky tech and made all the more pleasurable by the owners. Thanks in particular to Matt and his assistant sausage the cat.

Sandra

Excellent cottage ,friendly host , great location

Phillip

Really enjoyed our return visit. We had a really relaxing stay and Matt was super helpful and informative in helping us to have a great holiday.

The Cart House is set in a beautiful location, with both the countryside and coast near to hand. Matt owner is a superb host, setting up the property, ensuring a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. 1010 first class experience. TY

Georgina

Absolutely the best cottage weve stayed at by far! Matt and the team were very friendly and couldnt do enough for us. Plenty to do in the surrounding areas and a few visits from Sausage the cat kept us busy! Will be looking to rebook again very soon!

Great holiday property, great hosts. The perfect getaway when seeking a rural location in Cornwall. Looe is a pleasant stones throw away at 7ish miles. Thanks!

Olivia

Amazing property with beautiful views and absolutely everything you could need in selfcatering accommodation. Hot tub was a nice touch and kept clean and as hygienic as possible throughout the week as a shared facility. Owners Matt and Dan were very helpful and friendly! Their cats Dom and Sausage were even more so coming for sleepovers on several of the nights and popping in for the occasional fuss lovely, furry friends. The house in is a great location for people wanting to explore the local area during the week we visited Adrenaline Quarry great for the dare devils, Carnglaze Caves beautiful underground experience, Truro Farmers Market a little further out, around 50 minutes but a nice shopping day, Looe Bay amazing pasties, fish and chips at Kellys and a lovely soft sand beach and 2 local supermarkets to get supplies for the week Morrisons and Aldi. We may very well be returning in the future!

Good central location. Very helpful and friendly introduction by Matt and his Brother. The grounds are well kept with great views over the fields and woods. The cottage itself was immaculate and well presented, it is spacious with a fabulous kitchen. The beds could be more comfortable but I accept it comes down to individual requirements. The welcome pack was basic and a few additions would be generally well received. I would definitely recommend and return.

Sophie

Over all a beautiful place. Would love to return one day!
