Set in gorgeous gardens & quiet countryside close to Mousehole and the sea

Chyenhal Garden Cottage is bright and sunny and has been imaginatively renovated to a high standard by its artist owners. It is full of character with painted wood panelling, beams, roof lights, art and a cosy wood burner. The large windows create magical pictures of the beautiful gardens in which it is set. Approached along a picturesque bridleway track there is off road parking and, it is set in quiet countryside, but still just minutes away from everything you need for a great holiday.

The living area is spacious; relax on the comfortable two seater sofa and enjoy the play of the flames in the wood burner or enjoy the outlook on garden and countryside. This connection with the outside is also one of the pleasures of dining by the window that looks onto the beautiful cherry tree and is bathed in the glow of the late sun at the end of the day.

The well equipped kitchen area includes ceramic hob and hood, fan oven, microwave, fridge freezer, and washing machine.

The bedroom is spacious and has a double bed, wood panelling and is filled with light and sunshine in the mornings and is warm and cosy at night. The en suite bathroom has a large shower enclosure and power shower.

Step outside the door and enjoy time in the sunny courtyard garden that is just for your use; BBQ and dine outdoors. We also have an acre and a half of garden here which we are very happy to share with our guests; feel free to stroll, relax and enjoy time in what one guest described as our "little piece of paradise".

A very enjoyable first visit to Cornwall. The cottage is just so perfect for a couple. A warm welcome from hosts Claire and Bernard with scones, clotted cream and jam waiting for us. We stayed 3 nights in October and we lit the woodburner every evening. It was like the outside world didn't exist.The next paragraph is meant as advice to future visitors: you will need a car with good ground clearance as the final couple of hundred yards to the cottage is a bridleway with a high grassy crown. The good ground clearance will also stand you in good stead around the rest of Cornwall's rural roads. We were planning on going in our BMW Z4, which would have been ruined had we done so. Instead we took a Nissan Qashqai and it coped.

Claire and Bern’s thoughtfully curated cottage is an absolute delight. Set in a beautiful, quiet location it was the perfect base for us to explore the surrounding area. The photos represented it well. I would definitely recommend it.

Nice gardens all around BUT

Nice place to stay a couple of days,but what a place to find and a bad hill to drive up to their barn.if your car is low like my Audi don't do it.Their car was nearer to the entrance,so when you had to drive out you had to go down a slope and turn sharply to the right,it did nothing for the panel below the door scraped and dented,not at all obliging to get your car out,thought they may have moved theirs to the otherside.

Quiet countryside location

Very quiet location tucked away on a country lane but with Newlyn and Penzance a short drive away. Good base for exploring the far south west. The accommodation is not luxurious but is comfortable and everything works. Small private courtyard garden plus access to a much larger area of garden and woodland.

Comfortable cottage

The cottage was comfortable and clean. The weather was cold and wet when we were there and so we were not able to enjoy the garden but the rhododendron blooms were pretty. It was a good place for a base to visit southern Cornwall - Land's End, Lizard Point, Michael's Mount were some of the places we visited.
