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.

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.

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!

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.

Lovely property. The old coach was cosy and well equipped, it had everything we needed. The location was fab and so peaceful and relaxing. Loved watching the goats and ducks and also all the bats at dusk. The scones on arrival were much appreciated after a long drive!

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.

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.

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.......
