A real home away from home.

A lovely, well maintained cottage set away from the road and near the SW Coast path. Very clean and well equipped, very welcoming (the cream tea was lovely). A lot of thought had been given to providing the little extras, including accurate and humorous directions, which put us firmly in the holiday mood.

The Coach House, Poppy Cottage

The cottage was an ideal location & well appointed. Directly on the coast path and a short walk into the fishing village of Cadgwith, with a welcoming village pub. The accomodation is a short drive to nearby beaches suitable for swimming & other water sports.

Cozy Cottage by the sea

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Paulas cottage. The cottage itself is just a cozy and wonderfuls place to stay, it is well equipped and decorated, you feel just at home. Paula is a really kind and helpful host and we enjoyed every minute of our stay in this beautiful cottage by the sea. We loved being so close to the ocean and the ocean coastal walks!

The coach house

A lovely cottage in beautiful countryside with some tantalising views of f the sea. The cottage was warm and welcoming - a great place from which to explore the Lizard and to walk our socks off! Our dog was initially unsure about the goats!

Lovely Place, Ideal to explore the Lizard

Very comfortable, all the essentials you need, good Wifi to keep the kids happy, Great location for access to the coastal path. Cadgwith is a lovely little village. Lizard 10 mins away by car. St Michaels Mount about 40mins drive. We were lucky with the weather for a pre-Easter break with very few people around. Very relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable break.

Beautiful cottage & location

Poppy cottage was the perfect stay for our first ever visit to Cornwall! Paula was very helpful and the cream tea on arrival was a lovely surprise! The location is great, very close to the local pub and the coastal path literally at the end of the garden! The cottage was very clean, cosy and peaceful- amazing for star gazing at night! Thank you Paula, I'm sure we will be back!

A great find - Poppy Cottage

It was a great find for exploring the Lizard. Both the property and grounds were immaculate. The accommodation had everything we needed and it was beautifully decorated. The welcome scones were a lovely touch. It was lovely to have the animals so close to the property. The host was also very welcoming. I would definitely recommend this property and we would love to return sometime.sconesdecorated

Second visit, just as great

For our second visit to Cadgwith we booked the Poppy property (our first was in Henrietta, the converted and extended railway wagon). Cannot fault the experience - the property was spotless and excellently presented. There was an outside area with table and barbeque if needed, gated so we could let the dog out if needed without worry. The kitchen area, bathroom and bedrooms were all in great order. The area around Cadgwith is stunning and comes highly recommended - take your pick from The Lizard, Kynance Cove, Kennack Sands or Mullion, or simply take a walk down to the harbour for some lovely views of the sea and valley. All in all, a terrific place to stay.

We had a very nice stay in 'Poppy'. Very friendly hosts, clean, cosy apartment, with beautiful surroundings: the village of Cadgwith is beautiful, and so are the walks you can make directly from the doorstep. Would reccommend it to anyone.

Accommodation was well presented and clean. It’s a pity that the outside area isn’t dog proof as although the ducks and goats are well enclosed there are cats that wander around so it is difficult to relax with the doors open unless your dogs are contained. It’s an ideal property to explore the south-west of Cornwall from and the village is very pretty and within walking distance.
