The property and surrounding area exeded our expectations. Overall a very enjoyable 7 day's holiday.

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.

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.

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.

An absolute delight!

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.

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.
