  Chy an dowr is a wonderful holiday cottage, set in a fantastic position in rock for all amenities!

  Dog friendly which is a huge bonus as many of the beaches near are all year round. As a family with young children the bungalow's layout was great, lots of separate bathrooms, open dining and living space which we found extremely practical and it was so warm!! The garden was a delight, lots of love and attention shown to it and the views of the fields was lovely to wake up to in the mornings. A few really minor points which I think may help this brilliant cottage would be; Installing a side gate as there is completely open side access to the right. For a family&dog friendly cottage we think it would be very handy and safer. The garden is open to the field behind, there is no fence, so any dog/person could come in if walking behind the property - the stream is also open and runs into neighbouring properties which are perfect doorway for four legged friends if they smell a BBQ next door! The listing states booking in at 4 on arrival and leaving at 9/9:30 when finishing your stay. Essentially you lose nearly 2 days in which you paid for. We understand during COVID it was absolutely essential for cleaning but I don't think it is now and it does seem a shame. Overall it was a truly wonderful property and I can't recommend it enough to people who was a clean and well maintained base for their holiday :)

  Excellent cottage - super comfy, cosy and quiet as well as very well appointed.

  Netflix was a nice touch, and the owner was very quick to respond to queries and she sent some great recommendations for places to eat in the area. I'd suggest booking tables in advance even in off peak times! Excellent location for exploring this area of Cornwall - Pendeen isn't as touristy as St Ives etc so it definitely felt more 'authentic'. Look up in the garden at night for shooting stars - just magical! Parking just off the road was VERY handy as most roads are very narrow. Mousehole, St Just, Newlyn all nearby and fab. This was a perfect base for our week in Cornwall and I'd highly recommend staying here. I was very disappointed Sykes didn't get in touch when the second lockdown was announced to explain the implications for our stay while we were there; they seemed to leave this to the owner to communicate, but luckily for us Ann was very helpful. However it's an odd time and the rest of the booking process was very smooth.

  We have just had the most amazing week at Chy Lowena.

  This is a very special property with beautiful interiors that highlight the history of the cottage and area and an attention to detail that you don't often see in other holiday properties. Charming private rear garden, spotlessly clean, very comfortable and with everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was a dream, as we always cook when we are away. We arrived to find Cornish biscuits and fresh milk, which was much appreciated after our long journey and the owner kindly contacted us a few days before our arrival to answer any additional questions. Pendeen is perfectly situated to explore this lovely area of Cornwall, with so much to see within a half hour drive in any direction, plus all the stunning local coastal walks. Wish we could have stayed longer and hope to return again.

  We absolutely loved the cottage, it was immaculately clean, it was always warm, the beds were comfortable as were the sofas.

  The kitchen was very well equipped. It had a delightfully homely feel about it, we felt like guests in someone's home. The log burner was excellent and we appreciated the logs, kindling and fire starters. The art work enhances the feel of it being a home. Pretty little garden with amazing walks on the doorstep. The following things are non essential but would have been welcomed - a welcome pack on arrival, a dishwasher tablet and washing machine capsule, an extra toilet roll, hot water bottles and a pouffe (really would have liked this). The one thing that was a little difficult was the shower over the bath - whilst the shower worked beautifully the height of the bath sides made access a little awkward. It would be wonderful if this fabulous cottage had a walk in shower.
