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 £25 charge per booking [see booking form]. If you have more than one dog, please contact us before booking ***

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.

A very thoughtfully presented property in a quiet location. Easy access to both North and South coasts and a wealth of fascinating sites to visit in between. The property is so well equipped that if the weather is unkind you can happily spend a day with a good book and the log burner

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.

A lovely little barn conversion in a beautiful quiet spot near mousehole, near to everything in the far southwest corner of Cornwall. If you are looking for a quiet, comfortable, warm and secluded place to stay that is in this beautiful area then look no further.

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.

We only stopped for 3 nights but wished we'd booked longer. From the moment of arival we were made to feel welcome, and to say that we were impressed with the accomodation would be an understatement - the garden was stunning, and the simple but tasteful decor in the cottage helped to make a fantastic break. We'll be back!

A hidden gem
We were welcomed by Claire and Bern, who had thoughtfully left us a lovely cream tea which was very welcome. The cottage was spotless, set in a beautiful garden. It was extremely quiet, which made it even more relaxing. The cottage is light and airy, with plenty of space and plenty of storage and has been tastefully fitted out and decorated. A perfect getaway for a couple and we can't wait to return.
