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.
