Perfectly soul soothing
Just amazing. Property is beautiful and very central to everywhere we wanted to visit. So quiet! Hosts are extremely friendly and lovely people. Our doggie loved their two dogs. I honestly couldn’t fault the properly. It is simply stunning, totally relaxing and perfectly positioned. Thank you David and Coralie for a wonderful stay. We will highly recommend this to all our friends 😊

Wonderful place
The two of us loved our stay at Chycoll Barn. David and Coralie have done everything to make it a lovely, comfortable place to stay, very well equipped with everything you might need. The welcome from their two very friendly dogs is special too! Their horse and pony wandering nearby were a delight. The location is very peaceful and well located for Penzance, St. Ives, Land's End and many beaches. We loved using our e-bikes through the small country roads. The view from half way along the drive is breathtaking with the countryside spreading out before you on every side. All in all very much recommended!

Beautiful place
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely part of Cornwall. Great beaches for exploring, surfing and rock pooling. Amazing scenery on coastal walks, and inland visiting the ancient sites, including Carn Euny, which is within walking distance of the cottage. Friendly hosts and a cosy and secluded cottage along a (very bumpy!) track, with a pretty garden and views of the beautiful surrounding landscape.

Cottage in the countryside
It really is in the countryside but the views and wildlife are out standing. Great for walkers or if you want to get away from city life. The owners are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble highly recommand. In saying it is in the country A30 is not too far to travel too so an easy reach for most of cornwall. If you like wildlife while there saw a fox, kestral, rabbits, butterflies and loads of different birds. Hope to go back soon.

Post Christmas break
We loved this property - we could not make use of the garden given the time of year. We felt very at home and the house offers great facilities and being an upside down layout worked out really well for us as any muddy boots could be left just outside the door and your coats are ready by the exit door away from the main living area. We loved the wood burner as we do not have one of these at home and it was very fitting for the style of the cottage. It is very well located for visiting the surrounding area and not too far from the supermarket if you needed to stock up on provisions.

2 week stay at Chycull Barn
Wonderful barn in remote setting, very quiet and relaxing. Owners close by if required and have 2 beautiful dogs, a handsome horse and sweet little pony. 20 mins drive to Penzance, and close to Lands End, St Just etc. Perfect for dog owners, lots of off-lead walking from your doorstep. Highly recommended

Getting away from it all.
Chycoll Barn is in an isolated spot, with only the owners property nearby. Lots of foot paths to explore in beautiful scenery. The three quarter mile approack track is not for the faint hearted, or for low cars. The barn was clean and comfortable, with everything you could need. The owner was not intrusive, but available if required. One bath towel and one hand towel each was not really adequate for a week, but there was a washing machine and a tumble dryer. All in all a great break.

Really disappointing!
Property accessible with caution. Check in was fine. Lovely part of the world. Good weather as well. The property was sadly dirty and smelt on arrival, despite all of the windows being open. Visible cobwebs behind sofas, from ceilings and either side of wall mounted kitchen cupboards. Kitchen work surface was sticky. Furnishings tired and smelly, when we moved the sofa to get to the vacuum cleaner out there was a lot of old dust and dirt beneath it. TV cabinet and front of oven were dirty. Lots of dust on the larger items of furniture. Basically we had to clean the entire property on arrival. This would’ve been disappointing in normal circumstances but made worse by covid, later check in times with earlier check out times. Visible stains to bed linen in master bedroom. Replaced on request. No bbq supplied, when asked for, supplied dirty. Shower didn’t really work in family bathroom. Asked to measure something up for owners during holiday. Water turned off during stay with minimal warning. The close proximity of the owners made this all very awkward and impacted on the enjoyment of our holiday. We didn’t expect to have to clean the entire house on arrival and left it cleaner than we found it on departure. We appreciate that UK holiday prices are currently overinflated but having stayed in another Vrbo property in April of this year this property couldn’t have been further away in terms of cleanliness.

Characteristic converted barn (down a long resurfaced track!)
We enjoyed our stay in this secluded property and found it easily from the instructions. The owners had thoughtfully provided some tea milk and cake to have on arrival. We chose the property as a convenient base for our daughter to access various stages of the south west coast path which she was walking. The kitchen area was very well equipped. We had brought our own wood so we're able to light the woodburner a couple of evenings when it was unseasonably cold. Not being able to control the heated towel rails and radiators ourselves was annoying. Also we were surprised that in a property of this price we were expected to provide our own toilet paper once the starter roll was finished.

Thank you for your review. Actually the towel rails and radiators can be controlled within the property - thermostat is by the front door and manual valves are on the towel rails. Anyway, we look forward to welcoming you back in the future some time.

A lovely comfortable stay surrounded by stunning Cornish views
We were warmly welcomed by our hosts on arrival who had already lit the wood burner for us. The barn is well equipped with ample kitchen equipment for those who like to cook when they have time! The barn location is perfect for exploring both the moors and the coastline. Our stay was topped off by visits from the neighbourhood owls at night.

Very special location
Chycol is in beautiful granite moorland, Iron age remnants all around and the rest of the world seems far, far away. We felt very privileged and lucky to have a place in this private mysterious landscape. Corallie and David are warm, friendly, sensitive hosts and there was cake waiting for us on our arrival to remind us that we weren't actually very far at all from all the wonders and pleasures of Cornwall. The two bedrooms are on the ground floor - my wife and I were very comfortable in the master bedroom; 2 children would have been very happy in the second room - there are two loos, two showers, endless hot water. Upstairs, the open plan living-dining-kitchen is a lovely space to be in. The kitchen is very well appointed and easy to cook in; the TV works well; the wi-fi is great. We were very happy.

Idyllic Cornish Retreat
Thank you to David and Coralie for opening up their beautiful property for our week quiet getaway exploring the West of Cornwall. Not only does Chycoll provide all the peace and quiet you could want, it does so in the most beautiful of settings. The renovated barn provides all the comforts and amenities you could need for your stay. There is much to explore in the area to keep you busy if you choose. You will be warmly welcomed not only by your gracious hosts but by a lively cast of critter characters including an adorable terrier and mating doves. We hope we will have the opportunity to return again in the future!

Lovely stay at Chycoll barn
We loved our stay at Chycoll barn. The place was very comfortable, clean and homely. David and Coralie were excellent hosts. We got there very late at night and I was worried we won't have milk for our 2 year old daughter. I was pleased that they had so considerately kept milk and a cake for us. Thank you Coralie for taking the trouble to guide us to Carn Euny. It was an experience we will remember. Ria loved playing with Mango and still remembers her. It was such perfect seclusion. Also an excellent central point to do all the touristy bits around. We had an amazing stay and the memories will stay with us forever.

Gorgeous, secluded barn conversion in a beautiful part of Cornwall.
This was our first visit to Chycoll and we will definitely be back! The barn is wonderful with distant views to the sea from the kitchen. The living space was perfect for us (a family of three) and fantastically well equipped. We even managed to enjoy a couple of barbecues in the evenings! David and Corralie made us feel very welcome from the outset (the welcome cake was amazing!) and were great throughout our stay with some really helpful advice and tips about places to visit. The area the barn is situated is beautiful and we ventured no further than St Ives as there is just so much to do in the locality. I can highly recommend waking around Bortallack Mine and Cape Cornwall. The ice cream at Newlyn is also amazing (as recommended by David and Corallie's daughter!) If you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life then Chycoll is a true haven of peace and quiet - situated 3/4 of a mile down an unmade track you really do get away from it all. Total heaven for two weeks - thank you so much!

Nice cottage in great location
The weather wasn't very good during our 1-week stay, and 2 of us fell ill, but we enjoyed our stay very much nevertheless. The house is in a unique location; remote on the one end but close to e.g. Land's Ens and various beaches. Other attractions in Cornwall are only 1 hour away. The house owners David and Coralie are very nice and let our daughter ride horseback a couple of times. For tall people the lower floor is not quite high enough, e.g. in the shower, but the cottage as a whole is very nice and well equipped.

Lovely relaxing week in beautiful situation!
We really enjoyed our stay in the barn. We wanted somewhere comfortable, peaceful and rural and that's exactly what we got. The views heading up the drive to the barn are stunning! It feels like the middle of nowhere and yet it is close to St Just and Penzance. The barn is very well equipped and our only regret was that the weather wasn't nicer as we would have liked to enjoy the lovely outdoor seating areas. Instead we lit the woodburner and had a cosy and relaxing time. David and Coralie were lovely hosts and we felt well looked after. Thanks for a great week!

A perfect holiday location to relax and recharge the batteries. Total peace and quiet with nature everywhere you look. Badgers,owls,rabbits and hawks they all made an appearance. Our hosts were wonderful and the barn is beautiful with everything you need. There is so much to see and do in Cornwall and this is a perfect place to stay. The kids loved it, my dogs loved the walk each evening up and down the track and we chilled at the end of the night. Once in a while you find a little gem in life. This is one of them.

A hidden gem in the hills of Sancreed
We stayed here for a couple of nights during a landscape photography trip in early May 2018. The old barn, which was converted to a cozy home served us as a base for exploring the southwest Cornwall peninsula. Staying here was the best choice we could do. Everything in the house was clean and nice. David and Coralie are perfect hosts, always looking that their guests feel comfortable. Yes, the driveway from the main road up to the house is a little bumpy, but dont be afraid, if you drive slow, it will be no problem. If I return to this area, this will definitely be my first choice for accommondation. Really loved to stay here!
