The Old Cart House Cornwall

The Old Cart House is a single-storey barn conversion on a family farm near Lanivet, sleeping four across one double and one twin room. The twin's beds are 2 feet 6 inches wide, narrower than a standard single, which is worth noting for taller guests. All four guests share one bathroom.

A wood burner, WiFi, parking, a dishwasher, a washing machine and a private enclosed garden are included. One dog can stay. The single-storey layout may suit guests with limited mobility, though there is no accessible rating, so confirm the entrance and bathroom before booking.

Carlyon Bay is 8.1 miles away, a wide sandy beach with a gently sloping seabed that suits families, near St Austell. Charlestown Beach is 8.4 miles from the barn and Porthpean Beach is 8.9 miles away, making the coast a driving trip rather than a walk. Lanivet itself sits at a crossroads on the Saints Way, the old pilgrim route between Padstow and Fowey, and Padstow, Port Isaac and the South West Coast Path are all within reach for a day out.

The Old Cart House holds a 5 out of 5 rating from 28 reviews.

**Best for:** A family wanting a single-storey farm stay with laundry facilities, an enclosed garden, a wood burner and room for one dog.

**Less good for:** Four guests wanting more than one bathroom, standard-width twin beds, or a beach within walking distance.
