What our customers say about their holidays

• Katie - Verified booking

  The initial property we booked was cancelled with just a few weeks notice, and there was little left within our price range for the area we had booked to stay which left us with limited options.

  This property is a nice location, only a ten minute walk from St Ives town centre and a five minute walk to a local Co-Op store. The house is well equipped in some areas. The kitchen has good appliances and plenty of cutlery and crockery, as well as a Nespresso coffee machine with some pods. There is also a washing machine and dishwasher. There are some towels for use, though I recommend taking your own as they are only smaller hand towels and wash cloths. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, with plenty of storage space. There is a small outdoor area which is useful for pets, and would be nice in the summer months. The furniture is comfortable, and the property is well decorated throughout. There are some areas of the property which I feel should be better advertised or require improvement. Though parking is advertised, it is a very narrow side street and parking as close as possible to the property on the pavement. We had a larger car and had a ticket left on it by the refuse men that despite our best efforts, they couldn't get past. Other cars also use this road and it is very tight so a high risk of damage to your car. There is a car park a few minutes walk away but costs £16 for 24 hours. Despite the cost we opted to park here rather than outside the property. There is a television in the living room but has no aerial signal, and limited online apps available via a Now box which all require extra cost and are seemingly logged into the owners accounts which feels invasive when trying to use online apps. Some areas of the property have lovely touches, such as the pictures and prints around the house. But there are some areas which are clearly not well looked after. The tap on the kitchen falls off, the dishwasher rocks around as it is too small for the space it is plumbed in, and there are drafts from the windows which are older designs. The bin outside is also screwed shut so you cannot throw rubbish away properly, and due to the wind we didn't want to just leave it there incase of it blowing away, which meant we had to store bags of rubbish in the kitchen until we checked out. There is an upstairs bathroom with a very small shower cubicle, but there is a downstairs bathroom with a bath and larger shower area. Also quite bizarrely on the morning of our checkout as we were cleaning the property, we heard drilling sounds from the side of the house. Someone had appeared and then disappeared without calling in. It was only evident as we were about to check out that they had removed the lock box on where to place the keys without telling us, so without any information, we locked up and posted the keys back through the letterbox. Overall the property is a lovely location, and has some nice personal touches, and is well equipped. But there are some areas which require improvement, and the ability to park should be clearly marked that larger cars would not be able to safely use this facility.

  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 :)

  The hosts, Rob and Suzanne, were very friendly and helpful.

  There was a very tasty welcome pack waiting for us in the kitchen. Rob had called us a week before our arrival to check on any allergies. He also warned us not to follow the car’s sat nav on the final stretch (do not turn right signposted to Pont, continue straight on). The house was spotless, warm and welcoming. The stay was comfortable and relaxing. We went for lots of walks and visited Lands End to Newquay and many places in between. It was an ideal base to visit all Cornwall. Everyone was friendly and the facilities were ideal. Thank you for a wonderful stay Rob and Suzanne, you have an immaculate house and we will visit again when we go down to Cornwall.

  We loved Chy-An-Dowr from the moment we arrived!

  The garden and the view beyond was the perfect setting for our holiday, we enjoyed our time at the property and in the garden as much as we enjoyed our time at the beaches. The kitchen was well equipped with high quality kitchen wear, the beds were comfortable and the utility room was perfect for storing our sandy beach paraphernalia with access straight to the garden with outside sink and clothes line. The short walk to the Porthilly cove and on to Rock at low tide was one that we thoroughly enjoyed as did our little dog. We are hopeful to be back to enjoy this beautiful part of the world from this ideal property in the future.
