Great house with amazing beach views. Easy access to the coast road to lands end.

Wonderful property in a beautiful location.

This was one of the best holidays we have had as a family. The house and location are stunning, providing a peaceful getaway with unbeatable views of Sennen Beach and evening Sunsets, 100% would recommend!

A real home from home with a view. Well equipped for cooking at home too with lots of places to go in the local area. Will definitely come again

We had a great time , the accommodation, location and views were fabulous.

Amazing location and a fabulous house! The facilities were all top notch and the views were breath-taking. Highly, highly recommended - we had a great stay

The house exceeded our expectations and was voted 10/10 by all our family members. It flowed so well and was ideal for a family of 6 a toddler and a baby of 9 months. The weather was amazing too. Will definitely come back.

This was the best holiday we have had self catering the views were perfect the house was very private and quiet.

We all enjoyed our stay very much and will come back next year.

Thank you Jackie David Rebecca and Oliver

We stayed at Chy-n-Gargo in October for a week. Everything about this beautiful house is stunning , the location, decor, comforts. I would highly recommend. This is my fifth stay here and I can’t wait to come back again .

Fantastic property with views and proximity to the beach that will be difficult to beat.

I have never been anywhere so lovely in the UK, it was definitely the best place I have ever stayed.

An absolutely beautiful part of the world and the house was located in a great location, with great amenaties and a view to die for.

Beautiful location and very luxurious house. Would highly recommend.

Perfect cottage in the perfect location! There’s everything you need for a week away, we will definitely be back.

This is our second winter break at Chy an Gargo and we just loved it! Breath-taking views, amazing night skies and stars, sandy beach and coastal walks, mugs of hot chocolate in front of the wood burner, the freshest Newlyn fish and all in superb comfort and style in the house.... I can't think of a better winter get-away. Thank you all.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you!

It's the perfect retreat, excellent location - comfy on the inside!

Who needs to go abroad? This was perfect.

An excellent cottage with stunning views. We loved it and would like to visit it again

Beautiful accommodation clean and well maintained with calm and relaxing decor. Amazing views of Sennen which can be enjoyed from the hot tube. Easter time was a great time to visit as it wasn’t too busy and we were able to do fresh cliff top walks from the house and as mentioned the hot tub kept you warm with a refreshing breeze on your face. What a wonderful place! A really special place which I would highly recommend!

This was our first Cornish winter retreat and we LOVED it! Chy an Gargo is the perfect venue: chilling by the fire, watching the waves and weather roll across the bay and over white sands of Sennen, blustery cliff top walks (dolphins and diving gannets) and sunset and star gazing over Lands End (no light pollution!). Thank you for a unique and invigorating get-away.

Second year in a row, Chy-an-Gargo is an outstanding house in an incredible location. We love it!

Another great holiday with Boutique Retreats. I wouldn’t book with any other company for Cornwall. Chy-an-Gargo is fabulous and for Parkrunners, Land’s End Parkrun is only 1 mile down the cycle path. It was great fun.

Incredible views and brilliant shared living/dining space. Well equipped kitchen in this modern, comfortable property.

Great house with perfect views over the cove.

We had a lovely week staying at Chy-An-Gargo and would not hesitate to return. This cottage is now the standard against which all others will be compared.

Stunning location, amazing views.

Our 8th repeat booking says it all, we love it here!

A fabulous property with great amenities in a wonderful location. Comfortable for two (smaller) families - the open plan kitchen / diner with large table by doors that open out onto the best sea view was a highlight. We went in summer so we could surf at the fabulous Sennen surf school, but would be really cosy in winter too. Amazing coastal path walking in both directions and only a short drive from the Minack. We’ve already booked to return

Loved our stay in a wonderful setting.Beautiful house.

A beautiful home in a spectacular setting!

A beautiful house to stay in with amazing views. Lovely modern interior and worked well for 6 adults. Walking distance to the beach too - would definitely return!

Absolutely loved our stay, and already looking to book the next one!

We stayed at Chy-n-Gargo at the beginning of October. This is a beautiful home, superbly located and fabulously presented. Everything you could wish for is provided to enable a truly comfortable and relaxing holiday. We cannot wait to visit again.

'Beautiful house, fully equipped with everything we needed. Outstanding views and incredible night skies' - October 2020

'The same glowing review from us again this year! We have booked the same house for the 7th year running for 2021 - I don’t know what we would do without our Chy-an-Gargo holiday! We absolutely love it and would love to find twice a year! We never want to leave this beautiful house and magnificent view. I can’t give it high enough praise!' - August 2020

'A wonderful location with spectacular views whatever the weather.' - January 2020

'Chy-an-Gargo - Wow!!! Me and my wife stayed at this great accommodation as part of ourt mini moon break. it was amazing, the accommodation is secluded overlooking Sennen Cove and the view was amazing. The location is perfect, Lands End and Sennen Cover are both easy within walking distance and we did on many occasions. the house itself is well equipped with lovely kitchen, bathroom and living areas. There is a great little book which gives ideas of day trips, the little market on Tuesday morning was really nice - we picked up a few things. Generally a little more than what we normally pay for, which was fine as our mini moon, but definitely worth it and will be booking with Boutique Retreats again.' - October 2019

'Amazing location, clean and luxurious house and sea views - you could have made even more of this in the property description! We’d love to come back again.' - June 2019
