Property code: OC-P00750

You’ll find chic design touches at every turn in this lovely cottage for two. Flooded in natural light, it’s the ideal accommodation option for style-conscious couples in search of a romantic bolthole in the heart of the Cornish countryside. Grab your partner’s hand and head out for a walk on the beach – there are no less than 11 beaches to choose from in the Newquay area. The closest is just 7 miles away. Watch the surfers having the time of their lives, or make your way to Newquay Harbour (8.5 miles) to take a wildlife boat trip. You may be lucky enough to spot seals, dolphins and sharks. Alternatively, go for a romantic cruise on the boating lake at Trenance Gardens (7 miles), or to Perranporth (8 miles) to see its Iron Age fort. This gorgeous stretch of coastline is said to have inspired the Poldark novels.

Step inside this lovely single-level property and you’ll find a wonderfully spacious, light and bright open-plan kitchen/lounge/dining area. Beautifully styled, this contemporary space is the ideal place to spend some quality time with your nearest and dearest. Cook a romantic meal for two in the sleek, modern kitchen and enjoy an intimate dinner in the dining area. After dinner, crack open a bottle of something cool and crisp and cuddle up on the sofa in the stylish lounge area. When it’s time for bed, you’ll find a delightful king-size bedroom with a TV to retire to. A chic shower room rounds off the cottage’s elegant layout.

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.

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

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
