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.

Great place to unwind, very peaceful and close to coastal attractions, lizard, kynance cove, helston, mullion cove and short walk down to Cadgwith cove, we enjoyed our stay here.
Property was exactly how displayed in pictures, exceptionally clean. The grounds was beautifully kept and the host was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. Great location!
A truly amazing stay in a beautiful old railway cottage that has more than you could ever wish for.. an set in a wonderful location.. and our hosts were amazing too.. i fully recommend anyone to stay here..
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.
Great stay in the Old Coach. As a solo traveller, was perfect with plenty of space, well equipped kitchen, and a stupidly comfortable bed. Such a unique experience and great value. Location is amazing overlooking the grounds of the Coach House, but only a 5 minute walk downhill to Cadwith. The road to the house may be a little daunting to those who have not previously driven to some of Cornwall's coastal villages, but had zero issues and once there, plenty of space to park cars (whichever rental you choose) which is often rare in a village location such as this. Can't recommend it enough and would stay again if available.
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!
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.
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.

What a great find! Had an amazing time here. Very comfy bed and lovely setting. Beautiful quirky carriage. Loved it. Coastal walks on the doorstep. Good local pub and restaurant. Highly recommend.
Bespoke, unique and tastefully converted carriage. Bed was comfy and had all we needed for a 3 night stay.
Location was perfect for the coast path and close to the lovely village of Cadgwith.
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!
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.
Perfect! Exactly what we wanted in a beautiful part of the country. Ideal location to explore the local area. Peaceful and relaxing couple of days. Paula made us feel very welcome.
