Seascape Escape at Windsworth Old Coach House

Would 101% recommend! Beautiful place to be! Views are stunning especially on a clear day, lots of blackberries to pick in season, lovely hike down to the beach and the perfect nature/seaside detox.... Caroline is truly the most amazing person you could meet and have a chat with. She helped us with all our questions and gave great recommendations for our stay in Cornwall. Lots of things to do nearby but honestly the coach house is enough!

Dear Caroline, thank you for another magical stay. The coach house is the perfect place to revive and revel in nature, peace and quiet. We’ve stayed a handful of times now and you’ll definitely see us again. it’s incredibly reassuring to know this place is here for us when we need it. Thanks for all you do here, the thought that goes into it and the care you take over it.

Stayed here for 3 nights with a friend and it was so peaceful. We slept extremely well. Caroline was really helpful and easy to communicate with. The house was cosy and like a real little farmhouse. Caroline had left us local clotted cream and flapjacks and helpful local information. There was ample mint and elderflower in the garden. We enjoyed visiting the local goats and rare breeds of sheep as well as the walk to the beach. Just be aware that this is truly off grid - you need to heat the fire to warm water for hot showers, there are no power sockets, no wifi, no hairdryers etc.

We’ve had a lovely time here; the weather has been glorious. The peace and quiet is what we came for and it’s exactly what we got. We all loved the open space and the walk down to the beach; we have enjoyed watching the birds and the pheasants that wander around the longer grass in the garden. The local beaches are wonderful, Seaton beach and Lantic Bay are dog friendly. Amazing views, love the outside shower and toilet. Caroline’s blue book was both informative and interesting. She truly has a little bit of heaven up here on the Cornish coast. PS we loved the flapjacks and clotted cream.

It’s been a second time here at Windsworth and the impressions, walks, experiences, views have all been as good as on our first visit we made - especially upon arrival as you pass the green gate and the expanse of field, to see sky and island greet you. Always the most stunning welcome, which is with you as you gaze through the long windows on or just step outside. Lastly and most importantly yourself, Caroline, have become one of the reasons we came here; it’s always a pleasure to share life experiences with you, which really is the cherry on the cake of our holiday.

Thank you, Caroline, for sharing this beautiful place and for your warm welcome. Despite only having a short time here we have really felt the calm. It was a particularly special experience to walk the labyrinth; a moment we are most grateful for. We hope to return again.

Caroline, you have created an oasis, a blissful escape from modern living where time stands still and waits for you to catch up. Thank you so much for providing such a paradise; we have loved every second. We’ll be back!

Dear Caroline, thank you so much for your hospitality. This was a wonderful place to rest and recharge. The boys loved trips to Seaton, Millendreath and Looe as well as the beach scramble of course. We loved the views which seem to be ever-changing with the light. With many thanks

This was the perfect place to start the summer holidays. The children loved crabbing in Looe, abseiling down to the beach and late nights / midnight feasts in the amazing attic room. The adults enjoyed drinks with a view and swimming in the lovely water at Millendreath and Seaton. We are very grateful to Caroline for her hospitality.

'Windsworth is an enchanting place. The house is so cosy and inviting. We played games, danced, ate delicious slow-roasted food, sang and played music, walked the coastal paths and thoroughly chilled. To be so close to the sea has been wonderful … an endless expanse onto which we can project all life’s depth and meaning.

'Thoroughly enjoyed no TV, surviving without the grid. Family chats and meals around the log-burning stove have been fabulous, and so have the views.We’ve loved staying here, the views are wonderful and we’ve really enjoyed the scramble down to the beach and back up again. Thank you.

'A fabulous retreat for our 25th wedding anniversary! We just love playing with fire!

We had a wonderful week at here. With 70 acres of farmland, including a private beach, it really is a place where children can run free and play wild (adults too!) We were blessed with long, sunshine-filled days where we walked the South West Coast Path (directly accessible from the garden) and clear starry nights sitting in the hot tub, glass of wine in hand. It is a magical setting, with stunning coastal views. The house itself is quite rustic and living off-grid you need to be prepared to put in a bit more time to cook. A room filled with games and books for rainy days was appreciated.

Some favourite memories of our stay: the silence, the views, the peace and quiet, the flowers in the garden and the animals in the field next door, the cosy fires and chopping wood. We enjoyed the magical walks to the beach, surfing at Seaton, Lantic Beach and walking to Millandreath. We loved having Caroline up the hill if we needed anything (we didn't!), watching the 3 girls watch the world go by on the swing, and being given musical concerts by the girls - with instruments provided! We felt like we were being eco-friendly too, and Bea the dog loved it!

'Thank you so much for one of the best experiences we had. This is such a special place. Simple, but actually it has everything you need for a perfect stay. We all feel like we skipped to some fairytale land and we can’t believe we need to go back to reality. Already planning our next trip, as this will be the best medicine for everything. A special thanks for: • the kids’ toys and games, which are brilliant, • June’s yummy stew, and • your great tips and hospitality. We’re grateful for knowing this place, and looking forward to our next time.
