Romantic Vintage Carriage in 2 acres!❤️Idyllic location, 5 min walk beach & pub!

The Old Coach, The Coach House, Cadgwith.

Set in 2 acres above Cadgwith Cove behind the beautiful Devils Frying Pan, adjoining the SW coast path.
The grounds are home to our free range ducks & chickens, and 3 mad pygmy goats. A short stroll to the 2 beaches in the cove, Cadgwith Cove Inn, and the Cellars cafe. Also Cadgwith Cove Crab and 2 gift & ice cream shops.
Converted 1800’s railway carriage, recently refurbished to an exceptionally high standard. Beautiful wrought iron bed, fully equipped kitchen and shower room. The carriage arrived in Cadgwith in the early 1920s and used to form part of the main property until it was rebuilt, and the carriage moved to its own plot under a large cedar tree in 2008. Offering open plan living/ sleeping area, good sized kitchen and shower room, and private parking. Only a short stroll to Cadgwith, the Coach House (also offering a larger carriage and 2 cottages) is a traditional fishing cove where the fisherman still haul their catch daily, mainly lobster and crab, served in the local traditional pub and Cellars cafe. There is also a beautiful small swimming beach, great pub, (folk music Tuesdays and traditional shanty singing on Fridays!) crabshops, gift shops and the most amazing beaches including Kynance Cove all within a 3 mile radius.
The apartment is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a dryer, a coffee maker, and a travel crib.

Idyllic

The Coach House is beautiful. A lovely quiet rural location. Separate from the other buildings. Its all about relaxing. 5 minutes to the coastal path and the little village of Cadgwith. Easy access to the main road. The only noise are the owls at night. A perfect place to recoup and rechargexyour batteries.

The Old Coach House

Everything we needed for a lovely week, wonderful walks to The Lizard along cliff path. We drove every day to Helston to pick up a newspaper & provisions. The minor downside is the narrow roads but we only had to back up once all week. We have rebooked again for next year. Fresh air, excellent outlook, no traffic & very private. Cadgwith a short walk along cliff path. Very quite & peaceful.

Great stay

A thoroughly enjoyable week in the Old Coach House. The coach was well laid out and very comfortable, a really unique experience. The setting is superb, a perfect sun trap with the added benefit of watching the antics of the goats, chickens and ducks. Local area is beautiful, would definitely recommend.

Despite the weather we had wonderful time!!!

What a pleasant and friendly place to stay! We’ve made the most of our holiday! Enjoyed every moment despite the weather! Visited all little villages and beaches around also St Michael’s Mount, Minack Theather, St Ives beach and Seal Sanctuary. We had great walks at Lizard Point and Through Devils frying pan. Our daughter fall in love with goats! Specially with a little one. They raised each other every day 😊 Zoe also fall in love with a toy fishing boat that was in there and we couldn’t find it in any gift shop. On our last day she received it as a gift from our host. It was a perfect holiday for us! Lots of lovely memories and pictures! Thank you so much Paula!

Thank you Paula for a wonderful couple of days in your railway carriage. What a special place . The carriage is fitted to a really high standard, the most comfy bed, ever(!) welcoming scones and clotted cream, and such a superb location. It was lovely to sit on the balcony overlooking your beautiful garden with the ducks and goats, and also to be within a few metres of the SW coast path! Wonderful stay, thank you , Jo and Rob

Small but perfectly formed ...

Just returned from 3 nights in the Old Coach at Cadgwith ... a lovely setting and great, if quirky, holiday home. The Old Coach was spotlessly clean, well-equipped and very comfortable. Everything we needed for a short-break ... only wish we could have stayed longer. Met Paula tending her goats and chickens on the first evening ... so helpful and welcoming. The setting is lovely, very quiet and the other holiday lets at the same location look equally impressive. Lots of space, even though there were other guests around, privacy and peace and quiet is guaranteed. Lots of walking routes and footpaths nearby and easy reach for coast and countryside. Even though we have both lived in Cornwall all our lives, this is an area we have never explored much before, so plan to return and will definitely try to book the Old Coach again in future. Thank you for a lovely stay.
