Lizard wilderness

We had a great stay in Willow. Full of home comforts and little extras, it was the perfect base for exploring with direct access to the coastpath via a private woodlands. A great escape for couples and family's - the pigmy goats were definitely an added bonus!

Beautiful place, a bit tricky to find but worth it. Very quiet (neighbours dependent) and very steep to the cove so no good if you are not a good walker. Perfect for all local places to visit, Cadgwith Cove Inn lovely for an evening meal

Must go

We had the chance to stay at the Willow. It was absolutely perfect for my little family, we loved it. The location, very close to the sea was amazing. We enjoyed beautiful walks on the sea side and discovered the region. We’ll definitely come back. Thanks Paula for the warm welcome and the delicious scones!

Unforgettable

Paul and Paula were lovely hosts though we were out exploring so much we saw them probably twice! The locals are very friendly too, we helped one rescue some lobster pots and made a friend. We came down for my 32nd birthday to do coasteering and fishing and we had a great time. It's a lovely area and a great cottage and we will definitely be back. Couldn't recommend it enough!

A little gem in a beautiful location.

We had a most enjoyable stay over the Christmas holiday. The cottage was beautifully furnished and very warm and welcoming. Paula the owner even provided us with mince pies and a bottle of Cava on our arrival. Cadgwith is an ideal spot to do coastal walking as the coast path is only a few minutes away. While staying there we also explored the Lizard which is few miles away and did a lovely walk to Kynance cove. All in all a lovely relaxing Christmas.

Nice clean and well equipped. Friendly and helpful owners.

As I said, the property was well equipped and the owner is very helpful. The position of the property was perfect, set in 2 acres and surrounded by woodland and consequently not overlooked. Very close to the pretty village of Cadgewick and the sea it is ideal for those wanting scenic walks. In all I thoroughly recommend.

A perfectly peaceful place

We spent a week in willow cottage and were lucky enough to enjoy some beautiful October sunshine! We enjoyed many coastal walks which literally start a minute away from the cottage and even got sunburnt! The coastal paths to kynance cove and kennack sands are breathtaking with so many places to stop and enjoy the captivating scenery all around you. There are so many stunning beaches to visit within minutes of cadgwith itself. This really is a great place to stay whether you want to get out and about exploring or you just want a laid back chilled out holiday. It was lovely to meet Paula and she genuinely does her upmost to ensure you enjoy your stay and was around if we needed her assistance. The photos of willow cottage really don't do it justice and it was lovely to sit with the doors open just listening to the birds and watching the wildlife whilst getting to meet Paula 's cats who regularly came along for some fuss. The cove is a very welcoming pub and we enjoyed folk night on Tuesday along with the cadgwith singers on Friday. It was lovely getting to meet some of the locals who really do encourage you to join in. We highly recommend staying here as it will not disappoint you.

Perfect location for exploring The lizard

Willow is a cosy, attractive, well equipped cottage in beautiful surroundings. Dedicated parking space. Close to the sea, easy access to the SW coast path. Easy to visit other locations on the Lizard, as well as further afield eg Penzance, St Ives, Falmouth. The cottage is one of two for rent, joined to the owners' house but feels very secluded as it looks over woodland and is set in 2 acres of grounds. Outside seating area. Plenty of hot water, the cottage was warm when needed (we visited in March), WiFi signal was good, nice touches like a cream tea on arrival, throws to use in the evening, books and DVDs available. The owners are available if needed - welcoming but not intrusive. Cadgwith Cove Inn is walking distance away.Listing on Vrbo and confirmation of booking is a little confusing. I knew that I had booked one of the cottages but wasn't sure which one until nearer the time of our visit. More clarity on the website would be helpful as the owners have 4 different options for rent.

Erholsame Auszeit

Wir haben unsere Zeit in Cadgwith sehr genossen. Die Wohnung ist gemütlich und hübsch eingerichtet und gut ausgestattet. Paula war eine hervorragende Gastgeberin und der Cream Tea zur Begrüßung sehr willkommen. Die Gegend ist auch im Winter atemberaubend und die Menschen sehr freundlich. Im Pub des Ortes kann man lecker essen. Danke für die schöne Zeit liebe Paula!

Tolles Cottage in idyllischer Lage direkt Lizard Wanderweg

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt im Willow Cottage bei Paul und Paula. Die Ankunft lief Dank der ausführlichen Wegbeschreibung von Paula reibungslos. Empfangen wurden wir mit einem gedeckten Tisch mit Scones, Erdbeermarmelade sowie Tee und alles was man sonst noch zur Teatime benötigt, war dann sorgsam im Kühlschrank aufbewahrt. Das Cottage selbst war sehr sauber und alles vorhanden, was man benötigt. Alles war liebevoll eingerichtet und dekoriert- Handtücher und Bettwäsche vorhanden. Eine Auswahl an DVDs sowie deutsche und englische Bücher waren bei Bedarf verfügbar. Die Kinder konnten zu den Ziegen und Hühnern gehen. Zu Fuss ist man in ca. 8 Minuten im Dorf, wo es ein nettes Pub gibt, wo Paul gerne an bestimmten Tagen musiziert, was wir sehr nett fanden. Des weiteren gibt es im Sommer Mittwochs- zumindest an dem wir da waren ein Beach BBQ- rustikal, aber nett unter den Einheimischen zu sein. Das Fischgeschäft im Ort können wir auch sehr empfehlen, auf Vorbestellung erhält man auch Hummer. Cadgwith ist sehr ursprünglich und bietet einen guten Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge, aber man muss bis auf Wanderungen zum Lizzard immer Fahrtzeit einplanen. Das bringt Cornwall aber mit sich und hat seinen eigenen Charme. Wir hatten als Familie eine tolle Woche, wenngleich das Wetter nicht immer mitspielte, aber auch damit rechnet man in England. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
