Chy Lowen is a beautiful, spacious and very well equipped holiday accommodation. Its been a very long time since the family have got together like this for many years. Especially for our disabled brother whos first words walking into the kitchen and seeing the view over St Ives bay was WOW! That sums up Chy Lowen for all of us as well. Our thanks to Liz for her help when needed. A great place to stay, thank you.

Chy Lowen is the perfect holiday accommodation for your stay in Cornwall with either a large family or group of people. It has absolutely everything you need for a relaxing stay. We really enjoyed movie nights with the projector and relaxing in the hot tub after a day of walking. The property is spotless and the managers do everything they can to assist you. There are fantastic seaviews from 4 of the bedrooms and a very versatile lower ground floor room for those who might not be able to make the stairs. Location is great, you can either walk into town or get the shuttle bus which stops on the street next to the house. We had a mixture of ages and abilities at the house and there was something for everyone. Would happily book again. Thanks for a great holiday!

We absolutely loved the house and Liz was the perfect host. Thank you Liz. The location is fantastic and facilities even better.

We had a lovely stay at Chy Lowen and the facilities were very good. If there was anything we felt was lacking it was the fact there was no pasta dishes. All main meals had to be served on plates. Also, one or more bigger pans with lids would have been useful especially as we were cooking for 10 people.
