About this property

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.

Very special place

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

Peace and quiet

A unique experience staying in the Coach House at Cadgwith. A bed that was soooo comfortable a lovely kitchen shower was great and a good area for walking the coastal paths. Had fun watching you both (Paul n Paula) feeding the ducks and putting them to bed. A quiet and unique place to stay.

Very lovely place

It was a wonderful stay at The Old Coach House. We really enjoyed it. Our stay was relaxed, we walked directly from the property to the coast path. That was great for our walks along the coast.

A magic holiday hideaway

The holiday in this lovely old railway cottage was practically perfect in every way! From the warm welcome to the idyllic location and the Old Coach as an unusal and most loveable and comfortable holiday home. Getting away from things and winding down has never been so joyful. Will definitely come back!

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!

Mother of 3, and love my goats, ducks cats and chickens!

Why they chose this property

It is unusual in Cadgwith to find a property offering so much open space (2.5 acres) and peace, but still only moments to the heart of the Cove - we fell in love with this place instantly!

What makes this property unique

Access to SW coast path, short stroll to great beach pub cafe shop etc. Offers space, peace, and an assortment of goats ducks chickens to amuse.......
