    Cannot fault the cart house. perfectly situated for walking along the coast paths, easy reach of St Michael's Mount, Penzance town centre, easy and cheap to hire taxis, village pub just up the road, supermarkets two minutes drive. Very comfortable for nights in or relaxing on terrace, including use of BBQ. Friendly Amanda on hand if you need anything. Double bed comfortable, bedding and towels very clean. Well fitted kitchen for all your cooking requirements. Only one little downside - village can be busy with traffic.

    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

    Excellent location to get anywhere you want to go. Beds were very comfortable and facilities were just what you need, including a good hot shower. Everything we needed. We booked for next year before we left. Need I say more! You won't regret booking.

    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.
