About this property

Detached barn In Secluded Rural Idyll With Two Bedrooms, Private Garden

  • Chycoll Barn is a two bedroomed (sleeping 4) detached granite reverse level barn conversion uniquely positioned in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is surrounded by countryside and abundant wildlife with distant sea views lying in a secluded setting at the end of a three-quarter mile unmade track (take care with low suspension vehicles) that only serves this property and the owners' other holiday let, Chycoll Cottage, and their own accommodation. On the ground floor is a double bedroom with ensuite shower, WC and wash basin, and a twin bedroom. There is also a family bathroom. Upstairs is an open plan kitchen/living room/dining room. There is full central heating plus a woodburner. There is a private garden in front of the barn and parking for two cars. With wonderful walks from the doorstep, this is a delightful base within easy reach of beaches, clifftops and some of the best surf in the country. Please bring your own travel cot. Wi-fi internet access is available - now averaging 17mbs/s download speed.

    If you are hoping to bring a dog (or upto two dogs with prior consent) please see the Dog Policy in the Rules and Policies section - towards the end under Custom Rules - where you can find specific details. Thank you. We love dogs - we have two - a very friendly black Labrador and a Jack Russell.

Nice barn with everything needed for holidays. It's quit far from a village or city (app 15 min by car) but it's compensated by silence..Friendly owners

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.

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!

Delightful.

This was our second visit to Chycoll Barn. This is a most charming barn conversion, equipped to a high standard. The Barn is comfortably furnished, with lovely comfy beds, peace & tranquility in abundance. There is a delightful sun trap garden. The Barn is within easy reach of many beautiful places to explore. The village of St.Just has a wonderful butcher & various other shops that cater for everything you may need. We highly recommend this property & are hoping to return soon. The family that owns it are lovely, but completely unobtrusive.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
