Why we love it
Chy Lowen earns its place for the way it brings people together. This is a house designed around the pleasure of shared time: long suppers, slow mornings, a soak in the covered hot tub after windblown walks on the north coast, and the easy rhythm of a Cornish stay where everyone can properly exhale.

About the Property
Set in Lanner, between coast and country, Chy Lowen feels calm, spacious and well set up for a grown-up group escape or a multi-generational Cornish week. The mood is smart but relaxed, with generous rooms and sociable areas that encourage people to settle in rather than scatter. Days tend to begin slowly over coffee, then drift outward to beaches, gardens and harbour towns before everyone reconvenes for supper and a late soak under the covered hot tub. It is not trying to be rustic or remote; the appeal lies in its ease, comfort and sense of having a dependable base in west Cornwall, somewhere that lets the holiday gather its own pace.
Location
Lanner, West Cornwall
Lanner sits in west Cornwall, close enough to reach both coasts without the crush of staying in a busier holiday honeypot. This is old mining country, where engine houses, rolling fields and big Cornish skies shape the landscape, and days can move easily between the surf beaches around Portreath and Gwithian, the galleries and streets of St Ives, and the harbour atmosphere of Porthleven. There is a practical, lived-in feel to this part of Cornwall that suits longer, slower stays: less showy, more grounded, with plenty of room to explore inland as well as by the sea.
