This delightful, former cart house sits in a beautiful rural location in the hamlet of Burnthouse, just 5 miles the port of Falmouth. At the old mill town of Ponsanooth, just under a mile away, you’ll find a grocery store and pub. The location is ideal for access to places such as Stithians Lake (5 miles) with its range of water sports; The Great Flat Lode (7.5 miles) and the Bissoe Trail (4.5 miles) – all ideal for walkers and cyclists – along with Kennall Vale Nature Reserve (1.5 miles), where you’ll find walking trails, waterfalls, babbling brooks and a flooded quarry amongst the ruins of a gunpowder factory. Falmouth (5 miles), known for its festivals and maritime scene, is a bustling hive of year-round activity with great restaurants and cafes to explore and four beaches to enjoy. Head to the north coast and in less than 12 miles reach Porthtowan, famous for its fantastic surfing.

Step inside this impressive two-storey barn conversion and be welcomed by a spacious open-plan living room finished in calming tones. The room features a vaulted high ceiling and original exposed beams, exuding rustic charm. The cottage is finished to an exceptionally high standard which is evident throughout. Bask in the natural light streaming through the feature windows, offering picturesque garden views and relax on plush sofas surrounding the lovely wood burner, perfect for moments of comfort.

Gather around the dining table for long sociable mealtimes while planning your holiday adventures. The ground floor also includes a convenient utility room, a shower room, and a snug room for a cosy night in watching your favourite series. The main bedroom on the ground floor boasts a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and a separate bath allowing you to refresh in comfort. The deluxe super-king-size bed with its luxurious mattress should ensure restful sleep, leaving you refreshed and ready to enjoy your days. A short flight of stairs from the snug leads to the second spacious bedroom, where a set of sumptuous twin beds await.

We had an amazing stay in the Carthouse. The building is very spacious with a 2nd lounge and bedroom that we didnt even use as we had so much space. The living area is a fantastic space. Very spacious with underfloor heating and a beautiful wood burner. Theres also a huge area outside at the front and the back - plenty of space for our dogs to run Read morearound in. All of the furnishings and fittings were top class. We couldnt have asked for more for our week away. Will definitely return for another stay. Hide

Exceptional value for money, a wonderfully considered barn and original cottage conversion with so much space! The living/dining/kitchen area with the high vaulted ceiling makes for a very sociable area for either a family or two couples with the potential for extra visitors sleeping in this space. The downstairs bedroom and bathrooms means customeRead morers with mobility issues only have 2 small steps to navigate. Large bath and walk in shower with plenty of hot water for everyone. Amazing dark sky location for star gazing from the large (almost) enclosed garden that dogs and children will enjoy throughout the year, with patio furniture and a BBQ for the warmer months. 2 areas to sit in front of the fire and unwind in the evening. The owner went the extra mile to ensure we arrived safely by sending a video of how to get to the extension of their wonderful farmhouse and made lots of suggestions for local beaches, pubs and attractions. We will definitely be back again. Hide

Stayed w/c 5th Oct 2024 with 3 dogs. Recently completed to an incredibly high standard, and pictures do not do this property justice. The hosts are so friendly and want you to have the best time possible. On arrival you drive across a gravelled courtyard and through 2 big solid gates which you can shut if you wish. You are then in a large area withRead more parking for several cars with a garage and carport (shown on the photos) and this is for your own use, and totally secure.The car port also has electric sockets which is helpful for drying dogs off with blasters, or hanging stuff for drying etc The Carthouse is very well appointed, with everything youd expect from a quality holiday let. Regarding kitchen area all things supplied, kitchen towel x2, cleaner spray, dishwasher tablets, tea, coffee and sugar (bought our own so dont know what make of coffee). Excellent bathroom with walk in shower, and plenty of space. Very, very comfortable bed. Rear garden is big with a gas BBQ and nice wicker patio furniture, and I can imagine it would be amazing in the summer. Very private and relaxing. Cant find fault at all. I am actually amazed it was so reasonably priced for the quality of accommodation and only 7 miles from Truro. Brilliant place. Hide
