  • Legend has it that the property was used by Sir Walter Raleigh to house his horse and cart
  • Spacious open-plan layout with exposed beams
  • Perfectly-romantic country hideaway for two

Property code: OC-P00750

Set your out-of-office on, and escape to this romantic coastal hideaway for two. Rumoured to have been used by Sir Walter Raleigh to house his horses and cart, this stylish property is an excellent base for those looking to explore some of the UK’s finest beaches.

This impressive single-level property is finished to an incredibly high standard, which is apparent throughout. Couples will love bathing in the swathes of natural light in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, designed with whitewashed walls, vaulted high ceilings and original exposed beams. Enjoy a snuggle on the pillowy sofas and unwind with a glass of something cool while a film plays in the background. The dining table is ideal for a romantic meal for two and is usefully positioned next to the sleek, modern kitchen, containing all the mod cons needed for a comfy stay. Have an early night in the delightful king-size room with a TV for those lazy lie-ins.

If you can tear yourself away from this contemporary cottage, then days of beaches, walking and fine dining await you. Spend your days swimming, snorkelling, and trying out some of the world’s famous surf spots. There’s plenty more where that came from too, with 11 beaches in the area, with the closest just 7 miles away, as are the delight of Newquay. Time it right, and a visit to the Boardmasters festival could be on the cards. Ride horseback along the Gannel estuary, take a trip to Newquay Zoo or visit the Blue Reef Aquarium for fun-filled times with the family. Go hand in hand along the South West Coast Path, which can be joined from Newquay, and features spectacular views, ice cream pit stops, and passing through many gorgeous Cornish villages.

We stayed at The Cart House for 5 days and it was such an enjoyable stay. At the end of each day walking round Cornwall it was so nice to come back to such a lovely property to relax in for the evening. The property is beautifully decorated and so clean it is like everything is brand new ! Such lovely thoughtful extras with the good quality teas, cRead moreoffee & condiments. Phil text me to let me know the property was ready earlier & was so helpful during our stay, really lovely people. Thank you for a lovely stay. Hide

The Cart House was a great property, and everything in it was like new and top spec. I was very clean and well presented. It was spacious and bright and had everything we needed for a week. Its in a nice village and very accessible to the A30 to explore Cornwall. It would have been great to have had a garden for the dog but we were out exploring wRead moreith him everyday and so it wasnt an issue And everywhere we went was very dog friendly, including the local pub (The Plume of Feathers). The owners were very helpful and made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend it and would stay again. Hide

Fabulous stay! Lovely, clean & modern property. Very comfortable bed Only slight downside is that there is no garden area for the dog, saying that.. a lovely village to walk round. Overall excellent stay.

We had a fantastic long weekend at The Cart House, it was well equipped and everything was spotless. Very handy location made it easy to reach everywhere we wanted to go (we did day trips to St Ives, Eden Project, Lands End, St Michaels Mount and Padstow). Would recommend a meal at The Plume of Feathers pub just down the road. We had no reason to cRead moreontact Phil and Helen but knew we could if we had any problems. There is no outside space or bath so just be mindful if you have a dog but we managed just fine. Perranporth and Holywell Bay are good beaches nearby. Overall we would definitely recommend The Cart House! Hide

The Cart House was lovely and we could not speak more highly of it. The owners were so thoughtful and the House was well equipped with everything you'd need. The instructions on how to get there and where to park were so accurate and helpful and made for a smooth arrival. The Cart House was very clean and absolutely beautiful and in the perfect locRead moreation for you to go off exploring other places around Cornwall easily. The owners were very quick to respond to any issues we had and were very nice to deal with and made the experience even better.

The property is beautiful, and the owners have thought of literally everything you will need whilst away from home. We particularly liked being set in a quiet village but close to the main roads to allow us to explore further afield. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here & would highly recommend it to anyone. Weve already passed details on to family,Read more friends and work colleagues. Hide

Helen communicated well & was very kind & thoughtful. The Cart House was outstanding her attention to detail was excellent & the quality of fixtures & fittings were certainly at the luxury end. Plus an added bonus of a great pub serving good food just a 100 yds up the road! A very pleasant & comfortable stay I would highly recommend this property.

This was a very last minute booking and I have to say, probably the single best place we have been to in Cornwall. Everything from the booking, directions, instructions before and on arrival were well thought and perfect. The accommodation was like nobody had been in before. Very clean and tidy and there wasnt a need for anything further. Little tRead morehings had been thought about by the owners. This was for us perfect - comfortable, quiet and a great location for us. Anyone booking this place would not be disappointed and I hope that others get to experience such a great place. We had no need to contact the owners whilst on site but were aware if we had any issues what we needed to do. Little notes left around the property also helped us have a great experience. A highly recommended property that we look forward to going back to again. The booking process and quality of the property is of the highest standard and better than any other we have experienced in Cornwall. Hide
