We probably had the worst weather from Storm Bert. Nevertheless, we were tucked away in "Henrietta" our beautifull, comfortable and cosy carriage. Not once were we bothered by the storm.

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 :)

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!

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.

We love staying here! Henrietta is lovely, cosy and well equipped for her size. A welcoming cream tea is provided as a welcome from the host Paula. Dogs are welcome too. Easy access to the coast path - just under 5 miles to Lizard point. Will definitely be visiting again.

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 lovely setting and a unique experience, Paula very friendly and helpful. The carriage is comfortable and perfect for two people and a dog or two. Welcoming cream tea a nice touch.

The property suited our needs. The owners may want to consider putting a shower cubicle in the bathroom as the bath was to small for our liking and a little awkward using the hand shower.

What a beautiful place in such a stunning location. The best place to escape the hustle and bustle of real life. Loved the little touches left for us. Thankyou for the amazing memories. We cant wait to return in the new year!

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.
