Guests say
Chy Pol is a well-located cottage in Cornwall with comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchen. Guests have praised the property's setting and the secure outdoor space for pets. While some guests have encountered maintenance issues and cleanliness concerns, others have found the bungalow to be a perfect find, highlighting its suitability for families and dogs.
Reviews indicate that while the property appears clean on the surface, deeper cleaning is needed in areas such as drawers, wardrobe shelves, and floors. Some guests found the property to be dirty upon arrival, suggesting room for improvement in this category.
The location is highly praised for being exactly where guests wanted to be, with proximity to nice beaches and bays. The setting is described as beautiful and perfect for various activities in the area.
The comfort of the beds and the well-equipped kitchen are frequently mentioned positives. However, some guests noted the lack of a hairdryer and the need for better outdoor seating, which affects the overall comfort score.
Facilities have been a point of contention, with guests reporting blocked gutters, poor drainage in the shower, and issues with hot water. The kitchen utensils were also criticised, and there were suggestions for additional facilities like a coffee machine and a washing line.
There is no consistent mention of gifts or thoughtful touches left for guests, except for one comparison with a previous stay at a different property managed by the same company. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness based on the available reviews.
About this property
Chy Pol is a charming, two-bedroom bungalow resting on the outskirts of St Minver, a quaint village just a short drive from the coast in Cornwall. Boasting off-road parking for two cars, an enclosed courtyard, and a collection of well-presented, contemporary interiors, this delightful abode welcomes a family or group of four friends seeking a refreshing, self-catered Cornish escape. Park up out front of Chy Pol, taking a brief moment to soak in your new surroundings before heading inside. Upon entering, feel instantly at home as you're greeted by a tastefully-appointed, open-plan living space housing a fully-equipped kitchen, a dining table with ample seating, and an inviting sitting area with sofa, chair, a crackling woodburning stove, and a sleek, wall-mounted Smart TV. On warmer days, make the most of the enclosed courtyard, pulling up a chair to delight in some alfresco dining with the help of the barbecue. When the sun has set, head back indoors to refresh with a refreshing cleanse under the shower before you finally hunker down for a well-earned rest in either a plush king-size or bunk bedroom. If you can tear yourself from your lovely new base, jump in the car and explore what's on offer in your local region. In the local village of Rock, fill your fridge up from the goodies at the Nursery Stores (Spar) or if preferring not to cook, dine out at The Pityme Pub or The Mariners. For a full day out, make a beeline for Polzeath, a bustling coastal town popular with tourists, where you and your loved ones can spend a day sunbathing on Polzeath Beach, surfing or savouring the local cuisine with a meal at the Cracking Crab or Surfside. Just north on the coastal path, take in unrivalled sea views from Pentire Point, a stunning nature reserve home to rugged cliff sides and scenic hiking paths. Enjoy all of this and more when you choose a stay at Chy Pol.
Perched along the scenic Cornish Coast is the delightful and quaint civil parish of St Minver. Offering its visitors a beautiful church which boasts superb views of the surrounding countryside, a welcoming pub where you can treat yourself to a delicious pub lunch and a well-deserved pint, a Post Office and a well-stocked convenience store for purchasing any essentials. St Minver is the perfect tourist base for exploring Cornwall, with easy access to the stunning beaches of Rock and the surfer's paradise of Polzaeath. Venture over to the coastal village of Rock, where you can take to the waters by waterski or sailing, or enjoy a boat tour as you spot the local marine life of dolphins which frequent the shores. Polzeath is the ideal setting for trying your hand at surfing with its nearby Surf School, or if you'd prefer to sit the action out, the glorious sands are perfect for soaking up the sun with a good book.

The property was perfectly situated for the places we wanted to visit. Comfortable bed and lounge furniture plus the enclosed patio/garden was ideal for our dog. Looking at a return next year.

The beds were super comfortable, and there was a well equipped kitchen, with all appliances. Improvements we would suggest would be perhaps a coffee machine eg a nespresso capsule type machine. And also the house really needs a washing line outside eg a 10 meter retractable on that can be hocked onto the walls as you need it. There is only a small airer currently which is not enough for a family with things like beach towels and normal amounts of laundry.
