You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Charming former coach house in an idyllic woodland garden, 300m from St Kew Inn.

A very comfortable 2 bedroom cottage, the front bedroom with a 5ft double bed, the rear with twin 3ft singles. It has a stylish bathroom with underfloor heating, and a bath with shower over. The living/dining room has dining table and chairs in addition to a large leather sofa, underfloor heating and Smart TV. French doors lead from here onto a large south-facing granite paved terrace with teak benches and slate table. The well furnished kitchen has an electric Aga, which keeps it comfortably cosy throughout the year, a breakfast bar with stools, a dishwasher, and plenty of storage space. The property also has a washer/dryer and free high speed wi-fi broadband.

Super garden; extensive woodland, streams, ponds, lawns and shrubberies, 3 acres in extent. Tables and chairs provide sitting areas in various parts of the garden. The property lies at the end of a 100m drive which provides privacy and security.

The St Kew Inn, just 300m away, is a truly atmospheric traditional country pub and provides excellent food.

The dramatic North Cornwall coast is easily accessible; Port Isaac just 3 miles, Polzeath and Rock just 6 miles. Many miles of National Trust coastline provide spectacular walking. Great surfing beaches, sheltered coves, and the stunning Camel estuary offer something for everyone: swimming, surfing, sailboarding, kitesurfing, sailing, kayaking, rowing, boat trips, etc.

There is great walking on Bodmin Moor, extensive cycle trails (Cardinham woods, Lanhydrock and the very popular Camel Trail) and many and various visitor attractions. The Eden project is a must and only 18 miles away.

Cottage with character

Excellent location to explore the south west of Cornwall. Homely cottage. Just right for 2 people. Lovely to have the St Kew Inn just 300 yards away. Very popular so bookings essential. Do try the moules. They were delicious.

Retreat in magical garden

Beautiful property owned by a couple both of whom have gardening backgrounds. You feel like you in the middle of an historic, well cared for estate. We had one major problem and that was finding the property. Somehow we did not get good directions. The name of the property in the online description would have helped. The Coachman’s Cottage is just the name on the rental unit. Once there the owners were very helpful, accommodating.

Coachman's Cottage - September 2021

Lovely cottage located in a fantastic garden - very peaceful and private. Indoors the cottage is maintained to a high standard and is even more comfortable than the pictures suggest. Everything we needed for our stay was readily available. As newcomers to Aga cooking we rose to the challenge and successfully cooked a few meals on it! St Kew itself is well located near to main roads allowing for easy trips around the coast or South to Bodmin / St Austell - plenty of interest within 30 minutes drives!

Wunderbare Unterkunft in toller Umgebung

Das Cottage erfüllte alle unsere Erwartungen. Wundervolle Lage, super Ausgangpunkt für Ausflüge, sehr gemütlich. Besonders toll war der persönliche Empfang durch Sandy samt der netten Einführung in die Besonderheiten des Hauses (der AGA-Herd ist klasse!). Dazu stand eine vorbereitete Tea-Time mit frischem Shortbread bereit - unglaublich nett. Die Ausstattung des Cottages war hervorragend, uns fehlte nichts. Die Übernahme war super einfach, Sandy und Tom sehr hilfsbereit. Wir können das Cottage nur wärmstens weiter empfehlen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Herzlichen Dank für die schöne Zeit!

Cosy cottage in stunning surroundings

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Coachman’s Cottage. We were greeted by the delightful Tom and Sandy with a very warm welcome and delicious shortbread- thank you! The sounds of flowing water and birdsong set in such beautiful gardens was truly restorative. The cottage is superbly located to easily explore and enjoy the nearby coast. The Lewis Family

Fantastic cottage set in three acres of landscaped garden

The best cottage my husband and I have stayed in. We were made to feel very welcome, homemade shortbread left in the kitchen, delicious! Everywhere was beautifully clean, in fact it sparkled, from the glassware to the bathroom taps. It was warm and cosy, and the furnishings of a high standard. Tucked away in a small village, so many lovely places were easily accessible to visit. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage for a family or a couple. We would not hesitate to return if we were in the area again. Thank you to Sandie and Tom.

A very enjoyable stay.

My wife and I received a warm welcome to a very clean and well-ordered cottage. Everything we needed for easy living was available and the owners were helpful in giving us information about appliances and also facilities in the local area, including the characterful St Kew Inn. The amazingly extensive and well-stocked garden is delightful and we were allowed free access to all parts. Our only (slight) adverse comment is that as natural light is somewhat reduced by surrounding trees the lighting in the living room could be warmer and brighter. Overall a most enjoyable experience. If the option were available we would make the score 4.8 out of 5.

A tranquil home from home

We are a family of four and we spent a week at the Coachmans Cottage in August. The property has surpassed our expectations. The cottage is immaculate and very well equiped. Our children loved exploring the garden which is HUGE! Sandy and Tom couldn’t have been more welcoming and were able to recommend some wonderful places to visit. The cottage is well placed for exploring North Cornwall whilst offering a tranquil retreat from the busy/touristy areas during the high season.
