  • "Stunning views of harbour."

    Beautiful building. Great hi tech kitchen. Easy marking (not mentioned) on website!)

  • "The property is wonderful, exactly as listed, it really couldn't be any better."

    Our only issue was with Sykes administrative team and an error that happened when booking the place, that said after a couple of phone calls the problem was sorted.

  • "We are so pleased that we chose to stay here for our week away!"

    Not only is Porthleven a beautiful little port town, Chy Lowen was the perfect choice. It boasted amazing views with a comfortable but modern interior, you can really tell that thought has gone into the decor of the house and it has been finished to high standards. Parking was on the road but we always managed to find a spot. My only (very minor) critique is that there was only one toilet roll provided. We would 100% stay here again.

  • "A beautiful little gem of a property to stay in Porthleven, Cornwall, with stunning views across the harbour."

    Ideal location to use as a base to explore, with a must visit to the Twisted Currant, especially for their cream teas and The Deli, especially for their pizzas. Exceptionally clean, very warm, with underfloor heating and preset heating. Would have been nice to have had some instructions to be able to adjust the temperature as it did feel slightly chilly on occasions. Also, no instruction to utilise the Quooker, however didn't prove to be too much of a problem. Wonderfully comfortable bed and beautiful bedding in the main bedroom and some super decorative touches. Settees in the living room were not designed to spend too long a period of time on as felt a little hard on the back. All in all, a lovely place to stay.

The property

Chy Lowen is a stylish, mid-terrace cottage set in a prime position, overlooking the stunning coast in Porthleven, Cornwall.

Boasting gorgeous sea views from the front of the home, Chy Lowen offers a pet-friendly haven and the perfect spot for a family escape or group getaway, resting near the beach and a hub of amenities.

Benefit from being able to park next to the roadside, before taking the external steps to reach your elevated position, accessing the home from the rear.

Complete with a reverse-level layout, be welcomed by the bedrooms, with a triple bunk and king-size bedrooms on offer, both serviced by a sleek shower room.

Climb the stairs to reach the open-plan living space, well-positioned for enjoying the breath-taking seascape, where you can prepare meals in the fully-equipped kitchen, dine as a four, and unwind with a glass of wine.

On warm days, make the most of your outdoor space, dining alfresco and basking in the Cornish sunshine upon the balcony, whilst on wetter days, set out a board game and watch the waves crash against the shore, from the comfort of Chy Lowen.

Discover the best of Cornwall from your very own abode; explore the picturesque town of Porthleven, with its quaint harbour, sandy beach, and variety of eateries, shops and bars upon your doorstep, or venture to nearby Helston for a great selection of independent shops for unique gifts and souvenirs, followed by a stop at the fun-filled Flambards Theme Park.

Take a stroll down to Penzance and admire the Georgian architecture and discover its lively streets full of restaurants, pubs, and art galleries, or for a day full of sightseeing and touring, be sure to visit St. Michael’s Mount and the iconic Tate art gallery of St Ives.

With so much to see and do in the area, experience it all from Chy Lowen.

About the location

PORTHLEVEN

Helston 3 miles; Penzance 10 miles; Hayle 11 miles; St. Ives 17 miles; Falmouth 17.5 miles.

Porthleven is one of south west Cornwall’s hidden, coastal gems, located near Helston, famous for it's annual Flora Dance Festival. Situated between Lizard Point and Land’s End, Porthleven retains the feel of a traditional Cornish fishing village, enjoying uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean and the beautiful Cornish coastline. The iconic clock tower sits on the harbour entrance and the pubs, shops, cafés and restaurants cluster around the historic picturesque inner harbour, where there is plenty of boating and marine activity. With a warren of streets lined with classic Cornish, granite cottages, an extensive beach manned with lifeguards, the chance for alfresco dining in one of a number of well reviewed restaurants, and crabbing off the harbour, there are plenty of activities for the whole family to enjoy, all year round. Porthleven is building a reputation for eating out with a popular food festival established in the spring. Out of season, Porthleven has one of the best surf breaks in the country where you can sit down and get lost for hours watching the energetic surfers riding the waves. There are some fabulous hidden coves along this stretch of coastline, including Praa Sands, Poldhu Cove, and Rinsey, a magical setting for the more energetic. You may have even seen pictures of Porthleven on television, being one of the best spots in the UK for storm watching, with the crashing winter waves often being used as the backdrop to weather forecasts. Walkers will enjoy the South West Coast Path, adventuring west past Rinsey Head with spectacular views, or south across Loe Bar to Penrose Estate with it's National Trust cafe, and on to Gunwalloe Church Cove. Take a trip to the Isles of Scilly by boat or plane and marvel at the display of sub-tropical gardens at the stunning Tresco Abbey. The Eden Project near St. Austell offers an interesting day out. Porthleven is the ideal base for discovering the delights of west Cornwall and the Lizard Peninsula.
