Set in 2 acres just off the SW Coast Path in idyllic traditional fishing cove Cadgwith on the Lizard Peninsula. Short walk to beach, pub & cafe in unspoilt cornish fishing cove. Perfect for couples.
Tastefully decorated for Christmas (unless requested otherwise)

Join in the Christmas day swim, or watch from the pub, and welcome the Mummers play to the cove on boxing day!!
Sea shanty singing on Fridays and Folk music on Tuesdays keep the village busy through the winter months.
Dogs and travel cots welcome 😊
The carriage was brought to Cadgwith in the 1920s by an employee of Great Western to provide holiday accommodation for their family, and is believed to have been built in 1874.
Henrietta comprises of 1 double bedroom, kitchen, living room and bathroom with a bath. She sits beside a small stream, with a beautiful quiet streamside private garden.

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.

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 :)

Perfect

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.

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.

Tranquil

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.
