“A lovely bolt hole in a lovely setting, we had a great week”

- Colin, October 2024
Stephen October 2024

“We absolutely loved this property, clean, comfortable, warm, cosy, bight and very romantic even with the dogs.”

The lanes were easy to walk along down to Porthleven and it's a great base for visiting the south coast of Cornwall. We wanted for nothing, thank you so much for the welcome pack. I think we both agreed the only thing that could possibly improve it would be some sort of string lighting outside, plugged in type. It got very dark, very quickly and would have been nice to be able to see the lovely border you've planted. We'll absolutely come back here.

Nicola September 2024

“Lovely place, clean, stylish and modern while also feeling cozy and welcoming.”

Lots of thoughtful little details and all essentials provided, including nice toiletries, dish washer tabs, fire wood etc. Fresh eggs from resident hens! The property is secluded and private, the owners are nearby if needed, but clever planting means it doesn’t feel overlooked at all. Surrounded by countryside, amazing skies on a clear night! Slept very well in the comfortable bed. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Michael September 2024

“Chi Lowarth has the "Wow Factor" that's all the wife kept saying on arrival, as she explored the accommodation and garden.”

A friendly greeting, ample information and the tea, Coffee, scones, jam, clotted cream and milk all a lovely welcoming touch

Lesley August 2024

“Property was as good as discribed in your app Owners were favourably pleasant when we came upon a problem with the step up into property for me because I have trouble with my hip they produced a step to enable me an easier solution Thank you It was lovely to hear the owls during our stay!”

- Lesley, August 2024
Richard August 2024

“Great cabin, nice location and facilities.”

Only problem was that the bed was a bit creaky which made it a little harder to sleep. The dog was happy, he often barks at random noises but it was quiet enough here he just slept! The small private garden being enclosed was really useful for him too.

- Richard, August 2024
Ann July 2024

“We loved the accommodation it was very good.”

It took us a while to navigate the lanes as there are no signs with names on them. We also found a lot of the places we wanted to visit were closer than we expected overall very happy.

- Ann, July 2024
Sue July 2024

“A beautiful, well equipped, relaxing and cosy place!”

Set in a rural setting with plenty of walks near by! Just a 20 minute walk into Porthleven. Would definitely stay again

- Sue, July 2024

“What a beautiful place to stay!”

A super clean, cozy and well looked after property. We arrived to a cornish cream tea left for us which was a lovely touch. We particularly liked the thought that had gone into furnishing the property with a love of nearby Porthleven. We loved soaking up the sun on the patio after exploring the coastline which is only 5 minutes drive away. Would highly recommend a stay here!

- Emma, May 2024
Craig May 2024

“We enjoyed our holiday but were surprised that nobody greeted us during our stay.”

Also we were disappointed to find that the toilet had been used and not flushed. There was a sign saying enjoy the gift of our eggs but there were none to be found! However we did enjoy the scones, beer, cider and on the whole our stay. PS. Hooks for dressing gowns would be nice.

“What can I say, just "wow"!”

This place is incredible, such an eye for detail has gone in to, fantastic furnishings, bathroom and kitchen. The property is in the garden of the owners, but we didn't actually meet them once so felt very private. The hedge between the cottage and their garden has grown high enough now to provide privacy from their garden, but still lets plenty sun onto the patio. The garden is completely fenced/gated so doors can be opened up and the dog could roam free, there is a small lawn area for doggy toileting and washing line. Lots of interesting tropical plants and a full herb bed for seasoning dinner and the BBQ! The cottage is very well insulated so it can get quite warm when the sun gets on it, we tried to shut curtains when we went out to keep it at bay, but you can open massive wide doors and windows when you can back to cool it down quickly. I would recommend a top sheet is provided for the bed as the duvet was very thick and so too hot, we always travel with our own, but would be a nice touch. The water pressure is also quite slow in the shower. In terms of location, it is perfect, set in farmland away from town it's so quiet and peaceful, but only a 5-10 min drive to Porthleven and and Highburrow cliff path. Also ideal location for Lands End and Lizard penninsula. We managed to find plentry of 'secret' beaches no one else was on, even in amazing warm weather, and lots of vegan food (including numerous places selling vegan ice cream for our lactose intolerant doggy, she was beyond happy!) 10 min drive to supermarket in Helston if needed.

- Chris, April 2024
Caroline March 2024

“A really stylish and comfortable property.”

It's in the garden of the owners but surrounded by delightful gardens and safe for dogs. A quiet location but just a few minutes drive from cliff path and the many independent shops cafes and restaurants in Porth Leven.

- Caroline, March 2024
Alison February 2024

“Fabulous stay in this wonderful lodge, stylish, well equipped, lovely setting, bed so comfy, slept wonderfully!”

Lovely little touches on arrival from owners! Short walk into town where there are some lovely places to enjoy a drink and something to eat! Highly recommend

“Fabulous base to explore this wonderful area of the world.”

- Paul, October 2023
Karen October 2023

“A beautifully presented cottage in a quiet rural setting.”

Welcomed with a delicious cream tea, flowers and cold drinks in the fridge. Jake a very friendly and helpful host. The garden is slightly smaller than the pictures show, the outside shower was very useful for hosing down feet and sandy dogs. We spent a lot of time out exploring, the cottage was warm and cosy to come back to of an evening. Overall a good time in this well thought out cottage.

- Karen, October 2023
Pippa September 2023

“Lovely accommodation had a nice fresh and airy feel to it.”

The information pack was excellent it had all the information we needed including some very helpful walk information and I loved the personal touch of seeing the before and after pictures. A lot of thought and care has gone into this property and I would highly recommend it.

- Pippa, September 2023
Mollie September 2023

“Excellent accommodation, we loved everything about it.”

The quality of the fittings and white goods, and the keen eye for design that has gone into presenting the ‘cottage’. We also loved the garden, so Cornish with tropical looking plants. The owners have gone above and beyond. Thank you.

- Mollie, September 2023
Diane September 2023

“Lovely property with everything you need.”

Greeted by cream tea including homemade scones and jam. Owners very friendly and accommodating as I unfortunately was on crutches with quite a large step into property so a lower step was made! Brilliant. Would definitely recommend

- Diane, September 2023

Mark July 2023

“Fantastic holiday let.”

Very clean and lovely to be able to open french doors to enjoy lovely weather we had. Couldn't fault accommodation at all.

- Mark, July 2023
Alyson June 2023

“If you are looking for a haven of peace and tranquility to get away from it all Chi Lowarth is the perfect place to rest and unwind.”

Depending on how fast you walk, Porthleven is 20-30 minutes away or 5 mins in the car. There are several walks close by which the owners have put in the welcome literature if you have a dog with you or just fancy a walk. You can also order fresh eggs which are lovely from their rescue hens. The lodge is well equipped and tastefully decorated, very comfortable and has everything you need. Attention to detail is perfect. Chi Lowarth is a hidden gem that is well worth a visit.

- Paris, April 2023
Peter April 2023

“Chi Lowarth is a fabulous place to stay.”

It is extremely comfortable, well equipped and tastefully decorated to make you feel right at home. The hosts thoughtfully provided a great welcome with a proper Cornish cream tea, Easter eggs, flowers and local cold drinks in the fridge ready for arrival! The hosts gave us lots of information and advice to show local walks and attractions. The cottage is ideally positioned to travel to the best beaches, towns and eateries and the lovely garden and local fields were great for our dog A wonderful place to stay made perfect by the best possible hosts ! Thank you

Norman February 2023

“Just all we needed in a lovely part of the country.”

The property has been very thoughtfully equipped and decorated Our small dog enjoyed walking around the daffodil fields. Very minor points: Add that a hairdryer is provided in the description. Full TV reception would have been good but we did not miss it.

- Norman, February 2023
Susana January 2023

“We had a lovely time, there was nothing more that we could ask for.”

Peaceful retreat, lovely walks just a 15 minute drive from amazing beach. We felt at home and are looking forward to booking again soon.

- Susana, January 2023
Patricia November 2022

“Chi Lowarth is beautiful.”

What is special is that it is a purpose built holiday home and not a home that could have been let long term to a local family. Devon and Cornwall need more places like this

- Patricia, November 2022
Jo October 2022

“We had a fantastic stay!”

The property was lovely and homely and ideal to come back to after exploring all of the beautiful places nearby. On arrival the check in was easy, everything was spotless and there were so many lovely finishing touches. We had plenty of afternoons sitting in the sunshine overlooking the beautiful garden which was very peaceful. The location was great for dog walks and a short drive from various parts of the coast. We would love to return!

Izabel August 2022

“We had the most wonderful stay we left a message in the address book for you before we left.”

It was an amazing weekend and you’ve done a gorgeous job with the property you provided everything we needed and more it’s safe to say you went above and beyond. All the best, Izabel and Adam

Tracey July 2022

“We had a fantastic week, the weather was absolutely glorious but regardless of that the property is ideal and extremely comfortable with plenty of room.”

It is tastefully decorated and it's obvious the owners care. The garden around the property is small but adequate for us, plus we have two dogs and it worked well, fields easily accessible directly from the property. It is quiet and you are not overlooked in any way. I'm sure there is more positives to add but can't think immediately of all the things I loved about it. It was one of the best places we have stayed. The location whether driving or walking is ideal, its a 20-30 min walk into Porthleven, 15-20 min walk to Penrose estate (beautiful National Trust with great dog walks and access to Loe Pool and Loe Bar), 5 min drive into Porthleven (don't be surprised if you can't park in the town) but be prepared to park on the outskirts and walk in. Coastal paths accessible from there also. The town has everything you need and restaurants (good idea to book, they are excellent and popular) and shops allow dogs, which is a big deal, trust me. This is not criticism (because believe me we will visit again, fingers crossed they let us

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.
