Our 2nd stay at The Cart House and would return again. Everything is high end from the decoration to the appliances and even the hand wash. Its perfect location, 2 minute walk to Plume of Feathers and straight on A30. The hosts are excellent and keep you well informed. I honestly cant rate this high enough. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

The location is good with easy access to nearby towns and the A30 if you want to go further afield. The local pub is a couple of minutes walk away andRead more serves excellent food. We had a fabulous week in Cornwall. Hide

Cannot fault the accommodation at all. The location is great just off the A30, 2 minutes walk from the fantastic Plume of Feathers. No garden for the dog as another guest said but there are a few grass verges near the property for first and last. The Cart House itself is pristine with top end appliances, fixtures and even the beautiful bedroom wallRead morepaper. The utensils and crockery look brand new and the bed is so comfortable. The hosts were very helpful and easily contactable and left some lovely welcoming essentials. Would highly recommend staying here. Looking forward to our next stay. Hide

The Cart House is a delightful, well appointed and very comfortable property, offering all amenities. We felt very well there and enjoyed our stay thoroughly. Being part of a wider ensemble of other buildings and set in a rural and quiet environment, the Cart House also offered tranquility.
