Lovely place to stay. Quiet village, spacious property and close to supermarkets. We used as a base to visit places of interest, it was easy to get onto the A30. Lovely pub just up the road Would definitely stay in this property again.

Our May holliday
Our time spent at The Cart House was very peasefull and gave us room to relax and enjoy our holiday in Cornwall. Even the chimming of the church bells did not bother us. A couple of things can use an update (settees and the kitchen tap) But all in all a great place to stay. We loved the layout of the place. Thank you Mandy. John and Wil from The Netherlands.

Great location
The house is in a great location for exploring the local area. Nice open planning living and patio area. It is quite bizarre that there are 3 bedrooms and no wardrobes in any of them. The beds could also benefit from headboards and caster holders. The property was well equipped but would benefit from a deeper clean. The church bells were lovely but not every hour through the night. However overall we had a lovely week.

Month in Gulval
Really loved staying at the Cart house. Twenty minute walk to Penzance. Easy car ride to supermarkets etc. Village a bit noisier than expected with church bells chiming on the hour every hour. Bit of a cut through to St Ives road but not a problem. Cottage well equipped. Everything you would need in the kitchen. No wardrobes or hanging space . Nice patio area. Pub 50 yards away was closed but reopening very soon . We intend to return next year as it was perfect for our stay.

Brilliant
The property was nice, and well located, walking distance to the beach, and a drive away from St Michael’s Mount and St Ives. It was a comfortable stay, all was provided, and the kitchen came in useful. Books about Penzance were interesting to read. The area was interesting to explore. Thank you so much for our stay!

Fantastic property in a lovely quiet village just outside Penzance. Ideally located with Lands End, Lizard Point and St Ives just a short drive away. The property was clean comfortable and equipped with everything you would expect. Plus excellent internet connection. Would recommend to any family looking to stay in Cornwall.
