“Upon arrival, the house did not seem clean.”

When things were dropped under sofa, the dirt under it was shocking. Dishwasher was dirty although we rinsed it a few times. Washing machine not working properly and clothes not washed well. When showering the smell was awful. The drainage definitely needs looking at.

- Mr Barnes, August 2021

Thank you for your feedback, which we always welcome. I'm really sorry to hear the house wasn't clean enough. We have recently taken on a new cleaner and I'm afraid it was only her first time. She was meant to be supervised but unfortunately the lady who runs the cleaning company is so short staffed she wasn't able to supervise her. All that you complained about has been rectified and I send you my heartfelt apologies. Owner relations

“We had a wonderful stay in your beautiful house.”

We come to visit my son who lives just up the road from your house so it's perfect for us.

Mrs Copling October 2020

“Lovely, clean and well-equipped home, perfect for the six of us plus dog.”

Brilliantly located for exploring the Lizard peninsula, with coves and stunning coastal walks all within easy walking distance of the cottage. Friendly local pub just around the corner serving great food. Very smooth booking process too - a fabulous half-term break.

Mrs Fenwick October 2020

“This is our second stay at Chy Lowen and it was just as good as the first time.”

Really nice and clean and super comfy and great for local beaches and my 2 spaniels! We will be back.

Humphreys October 2019

“Chy Lowen is a fabulous house close to the beach in a lovely part of Cornwall.”

Close to a very nice dog friendly pub and the coast path. The house is great for two families to stay comfortably and has everything we needed.

Mr Barnes August 2019

“A great house in a slightly secluded location, which is what we were after.”

The house had ample space for 3 couples, a baby and a dog. The living space was very big, including a huge kitchen & dining room. There was lots of space for parking outside the property. The property itself is in a very small village that has a wonderful pub a 5 minute walk away and stunning views of the Cornish coast. Driving would be essential but the nearby town of Helston provided all of our needs. The location meant Penzance, Falmouth and St Ives are all under 45 minutes away and Port Isaac, Padstow and Tintagel were all within an hour and a half. All in all a wonderful home that gave us a fantastic holiday, thank you.

Mrs Watson April 2019

“A fabulous, functional house in a fab location - close to some amazing beaches and towns.”

Beds were really comfy and the kitchen was very well equipped. It is perfect for a large family or group of friends.

“A well equipped and spacious house in a great location within a short walk of the coastal path and easy access to all points on the Lizard.”

The beds were very comfortable, the towels were soft and fluffy and the showers were good. There was plenty of room for a family with 3 teenagers and 2 dogs and it was a quiet and peaceful location within a short walk of the good local pub. The house is clearly the owner’s holiday home so fully equipped, with Sky TV a bonus for our teenagers plus washer/dryer and dishwasher. There is internet connection throughout the house but it is extremely slow, not the owner’s fault but don’t expect to be able to download anything whilst there. On the minus side, despite the housekeeper texting to say the house was fully ready for us, there was no heating or hot water when we got there late on a cold Friday evening, the fridge had been turned off and there was a layer of dust showing the house hadn’t been used for a while before our booking. The kitchen cupboards and range cooker could do with a good clean and there were some greasy baking trays/pans left in the cupboard, plus the main oven in the range cooker did not work (there was another oven which did work but it wasn’t ideal being thinner - the oven trays did not fit very well). Fixing these problems and giving the house a proper spring clean would leave it a perfect holiday house.

Mrs Abbotts August 2018

“Lovely house but location was misrepresented by owners in terms of proximity of nearest swimming beach - description said 0.”

5 mile to Dollar Cove (which I checked online and found was adjacent to the swimmable Church Cove) rather than the actual 1.5 miles, which meant a car journey every time. Also, the company dealt poorly with my complaint ; lodged 3rd Aug, followed up next day by me, then nothing. I had to ring again 13th only to find there would be no compensation. *** Owner Response*** Dear Mrs Abbotts I'm sorry you feel the information about the beach was misrepresented. The information has now been corrected. hope you still managed to have a lovely holiday in beautiful Cornwall? Warm wishes Rebecca Lloyd

“A lovely comfortable home, very well equipped with plenty of space, perfect for families.”

A lovely enclosed garden for children with fabulous views across the countryside. In an excellent position to explore Cornwall. We had a great family holiday and would certainly return.
