We had a lovely stay at The Cart House. A nice quiet little village. The property was exactly as described and was ideal for our family. Clean and tidy, clean towels provided and little extras such as a washing machine and liquids, cleaning materials etc really made it feel like a home from home. Gulval is near to everything and was a great base to explore Cornwall from. It was lovely to meet Mandy and she gave clear details of everything. Would definitely recommend The Cart House and will look at booking again when we are down in Cornwall again.

Ideal property for our family stay - conveniently located for access to Penzance and other areas in Cornwall, especially Lands End and the surrounding areasAll facilities we needed were there - and 3 major supermarkets all within walking distance if needed; although the pathway is a bit overgrown (not that there's anything Mandy could have done about that!)Can also recommend a meal at the local pub a minute's walk up the hill - not a crumb left at the end!All in all a fabulous stay, and we would definitely consider using it 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.
