About this property
The Old Carthouse - breathtaking views of the Cornish coastline with local beach
The Old Carthouse is perfectly positioned to enjoy all that South Cornwall has to offer. You can relax on the rear terrace and gaze at a beautiful blue Cornish sea, or pack up your surfboards, bucket and spade and walk to the local beach in 10 minutes. The house is ideal for all ages and abilities as it is on a single level with an open plan and airy feel. The house is fully equipped as it is our family home away from home and we do comfortable very well. We include all towels and linen, plus there is free Wi-Fi for those that can't resist the lure of getting online. The town of Penzance is just under 3 miles away and contains everything you could possibly need. However, the house is served by a well stocked farm shop (15 min walk) and there are two cafes and a classic English pub in the village, all of which have a superb range of high quality meals and snacks. If you arrive without a car then there is a good local taxi service and a bus stop near the house where you can catch the No.2 that takes you on a spectacular ride to Penzance and beyond. For those that want to travel slightly further, we are only 8 miles from St.Ives, with its host of restaurants, pubs, beautiful beaches and the very excellent Tate Gallery.

About the area
Penzance
Located in Penzance, this cottage is in a rural area and near the beach. St Ives Harbour and Penwith Pitch and Putt are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those in the mood for shopping can visit Wharfside Shopping Centre and Trevaskis Farm. Consider Acorn Theatre for a night out or Country Skittles if you're travelling with kids. Scuba diving and snorkelling offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking and cycling nearby.

About the host
Hosted by Kathleen Gearhart- Filmer
We are the Filmer family from London and The Old Carthouse is our home away from home. With two children aged 16 and 11, they are literally bursting with excitement every time we head to Perranuthnoe.
Why they chose this property
You only need take one look at this property and the location to absolutely fall in love it. It really offers the best of both worlds, with plenty to do within a few miles of the house and one of the most beautiful beaches in Cornwall, it is truly a home for any time of the year.
With Penzance just three miles away, you can easily obtain whatever you need from the huge range of cafes, restaurants and shops. Closer to the house and within a 15 minute walk is an excellent and friendly farm shop that sells a wide range of food, with a very good stock of organic and gluten free options. Then there is the village pub in Perranuthnoe, easily reached from the house on foot and serving some of the best dishes and Cornish beers that you'll ever taste.

What makes this property unique
The house is located at the end of a lane which is a no through road. We have neighbours, but only a few so you can enjoy an extremely quiet and relaxed location without feeling that you are totaly removed from the world. There are numerous paths to walk along that run by the property and you can walk to the village and beach within 15 minutes.
The beach at Perranuthnoe is beautiful and unspoilt. It really is a local hangout that doesn't get taken over by hoards of people. The locals of all ages come to this spot two or three times a day, every day to surf and swim, as the beach is very safe, sandy and easily accessible.
Finally, we must mention the sunset. To sit on the terrace in our garden and watch the sun disappear behind St. Michaels Mount each day is an endless joy.
