Property details

Featuring as the residence of The Fisherman's Apprentice (with Monty Halls) on BBC 4, The Loft at the Old Cellars ticks so many boxes in so many ways if you are two people wanting a special break in one of Cornwall’s prettiest fishing coves. Centrally located and only 10 yards from the beach you can either hide away in peace and quiet or just walk onto the beach to watch the fishing boats set sail or talk to the fishermen mending their nets. Later on you can actually see the fish being landed - now crabs and lobsters but over a 100 years ago pilchards were the main catch hence the Old Cellars being built as a pilchard cellar. And even later you can enjoy a meal at the Old Cellars Restaurant just below or a drink at the Cadgwith Cove Inn. The cove also offers shops selling crafts, fish and basic groceries. Further afield you will find all the treasures of the beautiful Lizard peninsula and can return to this very comfortable apartment with all the hallmarks of a traditional fishing loft with open stonework, granite inglenook fireplace, original wood floorboards and wooden beams.

KITCHEN: equipped with electric cooker, microwave, fridge, washing machine. SMALL SHOWER ROOM: with shower, WC and wash basin. DOUBLE BEDROOM. HEATING: wood burning stove and oil filled radiators.

We loved it at the Old Cellars and felt right in the heart of everything with the locals coming and going fishing and at the pub. It was a lot easier dropping stuff off than I thought it would be and parking in the car park was no problem. We didn’t miss the lack of private outdoor space with the beach just a few steps away. And there was surprisingly little noise from the pub. It was a bit dated inside with a slightly odd layout but entirely usable and reflected in the price. We would definitely book again.

We had the best weekend ever at The Loft and cannot wait to return. Luckily we live in Cornwall and are already talking about our next visit. Cadgwith is the most beautiful village with a wonderful atmosphere, great pub (and singers) and wonderful walks. The Loft was just perfect – we describe it as quirky and creaky (a bit like us!).
