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 cabin 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.

Paula was very welcoming, the location was idyllic and the vintage carriage was so unique and perfect. It was spotless and was equipped with everything I needed for my weekend stay. The cream tea was a very thoughtful touch and it was a delight to watch the pygmy goats and runner ducks from my window. I had such a relaxing and enjoyable stay - I didn't want to leave!

A great, cosy, quirky place to stay. We had a free upgrade to a more sheltered accommodation due to a severe weather warning, and a cream tea on arrival which was a lovely surprise.

We stayed in the Cottage instead of the Carriage because of the two children. The Cottage was perfect with a bunk bead for the children and a double room for the adults. It was clean and tidy. I would definitely book this again.

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.
