It's a beautiful house. We will be back again. Thank you so much.

Chy Lowen made a great base. Thereâs lots of space, and it was warm and dry. The house is well equipped, it has a great kitchen, and everything works. Thereâs plenty of parking right outside the front door. Itâs a short walk to the pub and the beach, but thereâs not much else in Gunwalloe. Helston is 15 minutes away, and has a big Sainsburys. Would we book Chy Lowen again? Definitely, yes.

Plenty of space and use of the garage for drying wet kayak/paddleboard and associated kit. Faulty toaster tripped all electric circuits, resetting central heating/hot water clocks (an annoyance) . Generally very clean but dirty spoon found on the floor under the footstool in a dusty corner. These minor problems did not detract from the enjoyment of our stay. Overall: comfortable, quiet, well-equipped. Recommended.
