Great cliff top House

We had an idyllic week at Chy Barnett , wonderful isolated situation with amazing views of the sea . We loved scrambling down to quiet Treen Beach to swim saw dolphins, seals & the choughs were above on the cliffs . Also it is so near the South West coastal path (Salt Path)which we used to walk to the Tinners Pub in Zennor …. so nice .We loved the property & Rupert was so helpful with information & returning a jacket we had left !!! We certainly hope to come back & enjoy this house again.

Location, location, location

This property is in the absolute best location. Overlooking sea, amazing coastal paths at your doorstep, the fabulous Gurnards Head restaurant in short walking distance. The property itself is simply furnished, but has really good quality finishing touchers i.e. good beds, bedding and towels (the white company); well equiped kitchen, etc etc. It is twixted between St Ives and Penzance, with everything you need a short drive away. A really excellent holiday vacation home.

About the host

Hosted by Rupert

I am a financial copywriter living between London and Shropshire. Chy Barnett has been in our family for four generations. I went there with my parents, who were also writers, as a child and take my children there today.

Why they chose this property

I love this place. It's the perfect antidote to city life. The house looks out over a vast view of sun and sky. When the sun shines it's one of the most beautiful seascapes I have ever seen. When gales blow and the sea is rough it's dramatic. Time spent here is special - for adults and children alike.

What makes this property unique

Chy Barnett's position is truly exceptional. It sits at the top of an Atlantic bay, with no other houses around. At the same time it's not too remote - just a short walk from the local restaurant/pub.
