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 :)

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.

Charming and peaceful retreat
Henrietta is lovely and comfortable with everything you would need for a relaxing break. The lounge has large windows looking into the woods with a small stream trickling by and a hedge screened private garden. Its quirky without compromising on comfort. The site is very good and walking distance to the cove, which has a great pub with daily fish specials from the local boats. Very tasty. We would stay here again.

Secret access to the SW Coastal Path.
What can I say, over a stream, into the woods and straight out West to the Devils Frying Pan onto the Lizard and Kynance Cove or East through Cadgwith towards Poltesco and Kennack Sands. Henrietta is perfectly located. I had a really enjoyable, peaceful, few days with plenty of wakling as planned. Thank you Paula and Paul.

Situated in close to and up the hill from the charming harbour village of Cadgwith, this accommodation is tucked away in a beautiful corner of The Lizard. Paula, our host, was lovely and the facilities are first-rate. Recommended to visit - don't forget to say hello to the goats!

Lovely little Henrietta
We had such a wonderful 2 weeks staying in Henrietta, the place was amazing. From the cream tea on arrival to the idyllic setting and location. Great place for exploring South Cornwall. The weather wasn't the best the first week but the second week the sun shone and was beautiful, we certainly had the best time. We would highly recommend to everyone. The only down side was that we missed a shower (but only our own personal choice) and also a bit tight getting in and out of the bed, we had to move it to one side... (maybe we should lay off the cream teas!!) but overall a fantastic place in a jewel of a county. We loved it... Thank you Paul and Paula xx

Wonderful carriage house!
A beautiful carriage house with a private garden and a little stream nearby. It is very cosy and is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the natural setting. The host, Paula, is very welcoming and makes sure that you have everything you need. Additionally, the location is great as it is easily accessible by car to most destinations throughout Cornwall. I highly recommend it.

We stayed for two nights in lovely Henrietta. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The carriage is decorated so perfectly, making the most of the space. Sat looking out at the woodland just added to the charm, listening to nothing but birds and the stream. We wouldn't hesitate to go back again.
