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.

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.

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.

Wonderful setting, lovely accommodation
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!
