Romantic streamside Carriage next to Coast Path ♥️ Short walk to beach & pub! 🥂

Henrietta, The Coach House, Cadgwith

Set in 2 acres just off the SW Coast Path in idyllic traditional fishing cove Cadgwith on the Lizard Peninsula. Short walk to beach, pub & cafe in unspoilt cornish fishing cove. Perfect for couples.
Tastefully decorated for Christmas (unless requested otherwise)
Cadgwith is perfect for a winter escape, fantastic walks and beaches on your doorstep, and a traditional pub in the cove with roaring fires and delicious food 😋
Join in the Christmas day swim, or watch from the pub, and welcome the Mummers play to the cove on boxing day!!
Sea shanty singing on Fridays and Folk music on Tuesdays keep the village busy through the winter months.
Dogs and travel cots welcome 😊
The carriage was brought to Cadgwith in the 1920s by an employee of Great Western to provide holiday accommodation for their family, and is believed to have been built in 1874.
Henrietta comprises of 1 double bedroom, kitchen, living room and bathroom with a bath. She sits beside a small stream, with a beautiful quiet streamside private garden. Guests are also welcome to make use of the 2 acres of garden, with free range ducks, chickens and and 3 mad pygmy goats!

It is small but we knew that before booking! The locality and friendliness of the owners more than makes up for lack of space. Charming, peaceful, idyllic and perfect for a quiet getaway

Fabulous gem of a place

Cute to be staying in a converted railway carriage. Cosy, spotless and perfect. So easy to walk into Cadgwith as well plus two minutes from the coast path.

Fantastic location and lovely property

Loved it , quirky and unusual with fab history. Decor was great. Host was excellent and we had lovely cream tea waiting for us on arrival and popped over to say hello and provide some local knowledge. We loved how quiet the location is . Perfect for a weekend recharge and to explore the Luzard peninsula.

Hidden gem

We had a wonderful stay in 'Henrietta'. Check in instructions and directions to the location were clear and Paul and Paula were the perfect hosts. Friendly and helpful but not intrusive. The accommodation was quirky, clean and beautifully presented and had everything we needed. The private outside area was very quiet and peaceful with lots of walks nearby. Cadgwith is a stunning village and we enjoyed several nights at the Cadgwith Cove Inn listening to sea shanties and folk songs. We had a magical week and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this destination. We can't wait to come back.

The property and surrounding area exeded our expectations. Overall a very enjoyable 7 day's holiday.

The property suited our needs. The owners may want to consider putting a shower cubicle in the bathroom as the bath was to small for our liking and a little awkward using the hand shower.
