The hosts Paula and Paul were on hand if needed, the afternoon tea was delicious!! Henrietta was warm and cosy perfect for us and Holly (the dog). There was so much to and not enough time to do it all! The Harry Potter series was being filmed at the time of are stay so we had to go and take a nosey in the village. But all in all an extremely lovely holiday.

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.

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.

Tranquil

We had a lovely stay in Henrietta, the beautifully restored railway carriage near Cadgwith Cove. The scones were a lovely welcome after our arrival was made easier with clear directions to the location from Paula. Henrietta is beautifully furnished and well thought out. There’s a proper bath and plenty of hot water. You look straight out onto a wood with a small brook right next to the carriage and there’s a private garden. Peaceful and tranquil. We had a clear night one night and so seeing the night sky filled with stars without much light pollution was a rare treat. It was special to see the chickens, geese and goats too. It’s a steep walk to Cadgwith Cove and back but well worth it. The car also made it down the twisty lanes to the Cadgwith Cove Inn for a very nice vegetarian meal in the evening. All in all, highly recommended.

A perfect week

We last stayed here 8 years ago - in the Old Coach. We finally returned and weren’t disappointed, Henrietta was just as lovely and we had a wonderful stay with everything we needed. Even rainy weather on Sunday morning didn’t spoil our enjoyment as we sat and relaxed listening to the little stream running at the edge of the woods just outside the carriage. The local area is beautiful, both the cove and further afield - we enjoyed walking the coast path, and, of course, we couldn’t miss seeing Kynance Cove again. Overall a perfect stay, thank you :)

Perfect

Our railway carriage was set in a secluded part of a two acre setting, bordered by a wood and well tended gardens. The carriage itself provided the double bedroom and compact but well appointed kitchen, with an extension providing a spacious lounge, storage and bathroom. It was perfect for the two of us with a short walk to a lovely pub/restaurant and as a base to explore the beautiful surroundings. The owners were helpful and friendly.
