Chy Lowena

We had a wonderful stay in this comfortable and characterful cottage.

It felt very spacious for six of us and we felt at home straightaway. Well equipped with everything we needed and it was lovely to learn a bit about the history of the home and it's previous owner. Really nicely decorated and with lots of interesting artwork on the walls. The garden was lovely too. We would definitely stay in this cottage again next time we visit this beautiful and peaceful area.

Lovely Cosy cottage.

Very well equipped. Felt like a real home. Lots of information about the area.

This was my second stay at this beautiful house and I am so happy to be looking at another holiday in the autumn

This accommodation was very clean, tidy and comfortable.

It exceeded what was promised in the advert and was the perfect base from which to explore the many local footpaths around the coastal area.

We had a wonderful week staying in Chy Lowena.

The cottage itself was so cosy and really felt like a proper home. We spent many nights in front of the fire, after days spent walking along the coastal path and exploring the local area. Our favourite walk was from the house, past Pendeen lighthouse to Portheras cove. The cottage had everything we needed as a family with 2 young children and the beds were very comfy! We hope to return soon. Many thanks for providing such a relaxing stay.

An excellent base to discover the many places of interest in the surrounding area, and by far the best place we've ever stayed at in Cornwall for parking!

A very nice welcoming cottage with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. My reason for not awarding 5 stars is that we found the key safe very tricky to operate...it could do with replacing for a better model that's easier to use. We would definitely return though!

A lovely cottage tucked away.

Nice and quiet. Very comfy and cosy. Easy access to the coast path, cliffs and beaches. 10 minutes to St. Just, with lots of interesting shops and art galleries. Access details and thorough guidelines provided by owner in good time. Limited contact therafter. I'm sure if there was a concern you would get a reply.

Just back from a relaxing time at Chy Lowena, a fabulous base for us to stay for 2 weeks.

It was really comfortable and easy to stay in and everything we needed was available. It's a lovely home, full of character and history with plenty of space for 6 of us. The owner, Ann was quick at replying to emails and had supplied lots of information at the cottage and if we needed. There is also a sheltered garden we could use from which we could see the milky way and meteor showers clearly. The cottage is in South Penwith, a Dark Sky area. We were able to walk to the tin mine and the lighthouse and explore such a beautiful part of Cornwall without having to travel far and the bus stop is nearby if you want to leave the car behind. The area has a shop and a pub where we were lucky to here local musicians playing. Geevor tin mine also has a cafe beside it which serves good food too and has views over to the sea and plenty of opportunities for walks. Turn right at the lighthouse and down the path and you may be lucky to see seals.

Staying at Chy Lowena was a very relaxing experience for all of us (for the second time already).

The house is very authentic and tastefully furnished. On the ground floor, there is a cozy living room with a wood-burning stove that is easy to use and quickly provides warmth on cooler days, as well as a well-equipped kitchen that makes cooking enjoyable. The house is equipped with everything you need and is generally in excellent condition—everything is very clean, and no wishes are left unfulfilled. The location itself is also very convenient: very quiet (including the neighborhood) and away from the tourist centers. Within a few minutes' walk, you can reach the sea/coast, and there is a Spar market in the village. In a short drive, you can reach the region's sights and excursion destinations. We will definitely come back!

We loved our holiday at Chy Lowena.

It’s an exceptional homely cottage, spotlessly clean, and beautifully decorated keeping the character of the old tin-miners cottage. We had a welcome email explaining everything and the it’s ideally located in a beautiful part of the rugged coastline of the tin mine coast. You can access the south coast path straight from the cottage, which is amazing some of us did the walk to Zennor. Sadly the coaster bus no longer runs but you can still catch the bus virtually outside the cottage. We also really loved the private garden. Would love to come back!

The house has a mold problem!

2 out of 3 bedrooms have black mold in the corners and the window reveal, the blinds are black with mold, it smells very strongly of mold. The bathroom is also infested. The house is not habitable, we moved out after 1 night, although we booked a week, because it was unreasonable for our children to live there. The owner denies everything, although we sent sufficient photos of the mold infestation and claimed that it was not mold, but “something else” (without further explanation). We offered to pay at least 50% of the accommodation price, which is generous, because the house should not have been rented out in this condition. She refused even that . A big disappointment for us. Our annual vacation, which we were really looking forward to, fell through. Absolutely no recommendation! Apart from the mold, a nice house. But what use is that? The residential area is pretty run down.

A charming property with lots of character that is comfortable and well equipped.

In a beautiful place in Cornwall where there is lots to do and stunning coastline to enjoy. Our second visit at this property and we hope to come back one day.

We have just enjoyed our third visit to Chy Lowena, and it is as good as ever!

A lovely traditional stone built cottage, yet equipped with all mod cons, tastefully furnished, and in a superb location. We will definitely be back!

This was an absolutely beautiful house to spend a holiday in at North Cornwall.

Everything and more was here and for me the location was perfect at Pendeen. The house, the location and the lovely sunny Cornish November weather have given me happy and lovely memories of a late autumnal holiday

Chy Lowena is a lovely cottage.

Very homely and comfortable to relax in. Everything you need. Walks from your door to the coast path. Pub and shop nearby. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

We have just had the most amazing week at Chy Lowena.

This is a very special property with beautiful interiors that highlight the history of the cottage and area and an attention to detail that you don't often see in other holiday properties. Charming private rear garden, spotlessly clean, very comfortable and with everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was a dream, as we always cook when we are away. We arrived to find Cornish biscuits and fresh milk, which was much appreciated after our long journey and the owner kindly contacted us a few days before our arrival to answer any additional questions. Pendeen is perfectly situated to explore this lovely area of Cornwall, with so much to see within a half hour drive in any direction, plus all the stunning local coastal walks. Wish we could have stayed longer and hope to return again.

Lovely, characterful property which was clean and well-equipped.

We had a great stay thank you, we made use of the reclining chairs in the peaceful garden. Loved the huge stone fireplaces and sense of history, and the location a few minutes walk from the sea.

A welcome note/card & a little treat (or basics, such as a pint of milk) would have been nice, it always goes down well.

This is a beautiful cottage, perfect at any time of year.

This was our second visit, this time in March. We were warm and very comfortable, the cottage feels so peaceful, inviting and loved. It’s a great location for walking this rugged and interesting coastline, and the local bus ideal for getting dropped out and walking back. Highly recommend from Sennen. Then a well deserved chill time by the excellent wood burner. Even managed to sit on the bench outside this time, in a pretty little garden. A great property.

This home looks and feels loved.

It’s an exceptionally high standard of comfort and feels immensely homely. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this beautiful house, in a truly great location.

This is a lovely comfortable cottage in a quiet Cornish village in beautiful countryside.

Everything you need for a relaxing holiday is available. The cottage is like stepping into history of the area. If you enjoy walking, history, beaches and countryside this cottage is for you.

Spacious, well equipped cottage in a lovely quiet location (even in high season).

Sea views from two of the bedrooms, lovely private garden. Well kept and very clean on arrival. Very friendly and helpful owner. Lots of information leaflets and maps in the cottage to help you make the most of your stay. Within walking distance of the local shop, bus route and pub - everything you could need for the perfect holiday. We would love to return again very soon.

The cottage was beautiful.

The area very rugged, beautiful views and a great base to explore west Cornwall. Owner very helpful and promptly addressed a request I had.

This was our second visit to Chy Lowena, & we were delighted to find the cottage as good as ever.

Clean, comfortable, tastefully furnished & in an ideal location. We look forward to staying here again.

We absolutely loved the cottage, it was immaculately clean, it was always warm, the beds were comfortable as were the sofas.

The kitchen was very well equipped. It had a delightfully homely feel about it, we felt like guests in someone's home. The log burner was excellent and we appreciated the logs, kindling and fire starters. The art work enhances the feel of it being a home. Pretty little garden with amazing walks on the doorstep. The following things are non essential but would have been welcomed - a welcome pack on arrival, a dishwasher tablet and washing machine capsule, an extra toilet roll, hot water bottles and a pouffe (really would have liked this). The one thing that was a little difficult was the shower over the bath - whilst the shower worked beautifully the height of the bath sides made access a little awkward. It would be wonderful if this fabulous cottage had a walk in shower.

We (2 adults and 1 child) spent a blissful Christmas break here and would highly recommend.

The cottage is very well equipped with everything you might need and is also warm and cosy. It feels like someone's home rather than an impersonal place. There is room to park one car directly outside the cottage and room for more cars in the car park located very nearby. There are lots of local walks, places to explore and wildlife to spot (like seals, cormorants and terns). There's also a bus stop close by if you wanted to ditch the car and go to Penzance or St Ives for the day. A great find and we will certainly be back.

We spent a great week in Chy Lowena.

It is a cosy, charming and very tasteful furnished and well equipped cottage quite close to the breathtaking coast (incredible sunsets). An excellent starting point for sightseeing in the area. We will definitely come again!

Chy Lowena is an ideal location for exploring southern Cornwall.

A quaint cottage! Good value for money and met all our needs.

We had such a lovely relaxing stay at the cottage.

Probably the cleanest cottage I’ve ever stayed in! So well presented, comfy and lots of little touches that made it so special. Loved walking to watch the sunset near the lighthouse each evening. Neighbours were friendly and helpful. Encourage everyone to leave the car and use the bus (near the shop) to explore the coast and towns all day for only £5! Thanks so much for a special stay in Wild West Cornwall :)

a proper privilege to stay in this lovely cottage.

.we had a fabulous holiday..thankyou

We have just returned from a fantastic week staying at Chylowena cottage.

The cottage itself is just lovely, with everything you could need for a relaxed and enjoyable week - a real home from home. The cottage is situated in a great location to explore some of the delights of Cornwall. The walk to the lighthouse and cove nearby is a must. Ann, the owner, is helpful and friendly, making herself available to you if needed, but also leaving you to it - we felt striking the right balance. We would thoroughly recommend this property.

Lovely cottage, very warm and comfortable a requirement for end of Feb.

early March. Log burner is ideal but it needs to be made clear that guests must provide own logs. I was surprised by the instructions provided for lighting the fire and even more surprised to find they worked perfectly - slight issue with left/right orientation!

Despite the sad reason for our stay, to attend the funeral of our much loved uncle, Chy Lowena couldn’t have been more perfect for our family.

Comfortable and warm with all the facilities we needed. Perfectly located for us to pop into Penzance to see our family and to St Just where we have spent so many happy times, visiting our old haunts and those of our forbears. Fabulous walking, even in the rain and high winds. Added to the drama of our stay! We will highly recommend.

Lovely cottage.

Good location. Owner Ann very helpful . Plenty to do or visit close by, in fact hardly used the car. Pub in next village superb food as is the commercial in St. Just. A hand rail would be useful alongside the bath and a small welcome pack with tea and milk would have been appreciated, other than that all made for a relaxing holiday.

Stayed in Chy Lowena for a week in September.

The cottage was exactly as advertised and did not disappoint in any way and looked exactly as the photographs. Beautiful and very comfortable living room with a traditional dining area and nice kitchen. The utility area was great for storing boots and fishing gear. Whilst we only used the main bedroom this was very comfortable and had good storage. At over 6ft I did have to duck to get through some of the upstairs doors but this should be expected in a traditional cottage. Location was great and a10 minute walk got us to both on the pubs in the village and a 15-20 minute drive to Penzance. Loved our stay at the cottage and this is definitely one to return to.

The cottage was not clean.

Very dusty and grubby

Lovely cottage, had all we needed and more.

Weather wasn't too kind first week so having a cottage with so many facilities was fab. Only drawback was the beach was a distance from the cottage. But Sennen and Hayle was not far away.

This cottage is a lovely little bolt hole for anyone wanting some peace and quiet.

The olde worlde charm is quite something, the fireplaces are wonderful and at the opposite end of the spectrum the WiFi was extremely reliable! The cottage had everything that we could have wanted and the trek to the lighthouse and Boat Cove was a lovely afternoon walk. Would certainly recommend this cottage to anyone who enjoys a blast from the past, but with home comforts. The only disappointment was due to the lockdown closures of the nearby tin mines which was on our "wanted" list. Wonderful little corner of the world!

Excellent cottage - super comfy, cosy and quiet as well as very well appointed.

Netflix was a nice touch, and the owner was very quick to respond to queries and she sent some great recommendations for places to eat in the area. I'd suggest booking tables in advance even in off peak times! Excellent location for exploring this area of Cornwall - Pendeen isn't as touristy as St Ives etc so it definitely felt more 'authentic'. Look up in the garden at night for shooting stars - just magical! Parking just off the road was VERY handy as most roads are very narrow. Mousehole, St Just, Newlyn all nearby and fab. This was a perfect base for our week in Cornwall and I'd highly recommend staying here. I was very disappointed Sykes didn't get in touch when the second lockdown was announced to explain the implications for our stay while we were there; they seemed to leave this to the owner to communicate, but luckily for us Ann was very helpful. However it's an odd time and the rest of the booking process was very smooth.

Chy Lowena is a superbly equipped and ideally located cottage - particularly if you want to walk the far west portion of the South West coastal path.

Comfortable beds, very well equipped kitchen & utility room, gorgeous coastal views from the first floor, lounge has a wood burner which was very pleasant on a couple of cooler evenings. Highly recommended!

The cottage was beautiful in a wonderful location with amazing views from the windows upstairs , you can just step outside and go walking into the lovely countryside.

Cottage is beautifully decorated inside and out and Ann the owner was very helpful when we needed to get in contact with her.

Only missed having a dryer when the weather was bad, but enjoyed our stay at Chy Lowena very much.

We had a nice time at Chy Lowena.

The owner, Ann, is extremely helpful and very knowledgeable of the area. Our child left behind a soft toy and Ann was so nice and posted it to us.

We had the most wonderful time at Chy Lowena and Ann was an absolutely amazing host helping us directly with every request.

Thanks a lot, you made our stay absolutely unforgettable.

Great cottage , great location Nice walks to the lighthouse and great beaches We ended up at Porthcurno most days very nice Only minus points The mattresses are super soft my poor old back didn’t like that at all and the shower isn’t great but other than that great place Would definitely return

A lovely cottage in a beautiful area.

Great for coastal walking and visiting the local area.

Beautiful cottage in an excellent location.

Owner was in touch beforehand to see if we had any queries, which was very thoughtful, and was very helpful when I'd left something behind. From the cottage, we could walk to the beach, to the pub or shop or to the mining museum. The cottage was well equipped and attractively furnished. Highly recommended!

The cottage was lovely had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Chy Lowena was in a perfect location, spotlessly clean and well equipped.

Extremely comfortable king size bed too! Would definitely book again as we love the area.
