About this property

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".

*** Please note that we only accept one dog, for which there is a £30 charge per booking [see booking form]. If you have more than one dog, please contact us before booking ***

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.

A perfect hideaway

We had a wonderful time in the garden cottage. It started with a warm welcome and not forget the lovely cream tea with great scones. The cottage is well equipped, clean and cozy. The garden is also great to spend some time in.

It was a lovely little barn conversion tucked away in the middle of nowhere. Very quiet and had the most stunning dark skies so stargazing was fabulous!!

A Great Place to Stay

This is a perfect place for a quiet stay in Cornwall; a cabin set in a beautiful garden somewhat off the beaten track. Although in many ways remote, this is only around 30 minutes walk into Mousehole and about 10 minutes drive from Newlyn, Penzance and a couple of big supermarkets. You can even walk to Lamora Cove in a couple of hours. Lots of great places to see and a cream tea on arrival. Thank you for a great holiday.

Cosy cottage for two, well positioned for visiting the the Lands End peninsular

The cottage was previously the owners art studio and as such is bright and airy. The conversion has been done to a very high standard, offering a well equipped and cosy accommodation. Penzance/ Newlyn is just a short drive away providing supermarkets and restaurants. The beautiful harbour village of Mousehole is less than a mile walk and is well worth a visit. If you are feeling energetic you can continue along the scenic coastal path to Lamorna Cove and loop back to the cottage. Thankyou to Claire and Bern who made us feel very welcome.

Sfeervol, rustig gelegen in prachtige tuin en op korte afstand van leuke uitstapjes zoals Land's End, Mousehole en St Michael's Mount. Met veel aandacht ingericht en van alle gemakken voorzien. Voelt heel privé maar hosts reageren snel als je iets nodig hebt. Goed bed (stevig matras) en fijn zitje in het privédeel van de tuin. Punt van aandacht: de onverharde weg die vanaf het huis gezien naar links gaat, is niet geschikt voor personenauto's die laag op de weg liggen (de uitgesleten bandensporen maken dat het hogere, middelste deel van de weg je bodemplaat beschadigt of dat je mogelijk vast komt te zitten).

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.

Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und haben uns super wohl in dem Haus gefühlt. Die Ruhe und der Garten waren traumhaft. Die Umgebung konnten wir wunderbar zu Fuß und Bus erkunden und haben uns ein bisschen in Cornwall verliebt.
