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 ***

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.

Comfortable and cosy retreat from the rain

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage which was very well equipped, comfortable and cosy; just perfect for a short break when the weather was less than kind. The hosts were extremely welcoming and made sure that we had everything we needed.
