Accommodation was well presented and clean. It’s a pity that the outside area isn’t dog proof as although the ducks and goats are well enclosed there are cats that wander around so it is difficult to relax with the doors open unless your dogs are contained. It’s an ideal property to explore the south-west of Cornwall from and the village is very pretty and within walking distance.

Detour to a little paradise

We were simply delighted at beautiful Poppy Cottage, and ever since our vacation, we've been dreaming of our days in Cadgwith – the children of three patiently loving goats and thrilling railway toys, the adults of this wonderful accommodation, lovingly furnished down to the last detail, where you can't help but feel at home. (oh yes, we did!) Everything is just right here. Above all, we'd like to thank Paula and her family. You couldn't have received a warmer welcome!

Great Location

This was our 3rd year which probably tells you all you need to know. The location is good & offers easy walking access to both the coastal path & also Cadgwith itself. Highly recommended.

Very clean, great location and cosy.

We had a lovely relaxing weekend. Cottage was in a great location with all we needed for the weekend. Host very welcoming and very helpful. With no visitors after us we were grateful for a later check out time. So thank you. Only one minor comment. We were a party of three adults and the bunk beds were very small and not suitable for adult use. Thank you Jo

Beautiful setting on the edge of a beautiful village with a lovely pub, close community and direct access to the SW coastal path. Peaceful, amazing views of the Milky Way in skies free of light pollution. Lots of interesting bird life, seals and dolphins in the sea.

We had a very nice stay in 'Poppy'. Very friendly hosts, clean, cosy apartment, with beautiful surroundings: the village of Cadgwith is beautiful, and so are the walks you can make directly from the doorstep. Would reccommend it to anyone.

A real home away from home.

A lovely, well maintained cottage set away from the road and near the SW Coast path. Very clean and well equipped, very welcoming (the cream tea was lovely). A lot of thought had been given to providing the little extras, including accurate and humorous directions, which put us firmly in the holiday mood.

The coach house

A lovely cottage in beautiful countryside with some tantalising views of f the sea. The cottage was warm and welcoming - a great place from which to explore the Lizard and to walk our socks off! Our dog was initially unsure about the goats!

Lovely Place, Ideal to explore the Lizard

Very comfortable, all the essentials you need, good Wifi to keep the kids happy, Great location for access to the coastal path. Cadgwith is a lovely little village. Lizard 10 mins away by car. St Michaels Mount about 40mins drive. We were lucky with the weather for a pre-Easter break with very few people around. Very relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable break.

The Coach House, Poppy Cottage

The cottage was an ideal location & well appointed. Directly on the coast path and a short walk into the fishing village of Cadgwith, with a welcoming village pub. The accomodation is a short drive to nearby beaches suitable for swimming & other water sports.
