LOCATION

In an incredibly sought-after location, An Chy Gwyn is nestled into the sleepy coastal village of Porthcurno. The beach really is a paradise and you’re perfectly positioned and can wander down there in a matter of minutes.

Famously known for the Minack Theatre, Porthcurno is home to this entirely unique open-air theatre that’s perched up on the cliffs. With only the breathtaking and ever-changing view of the Atlantic Ocean as its backdrop, this is a truly special spot. From the beach you can even climb up the steps and rocks built into the cliff side, for an amazing panoramic view of the coastline.

Located away from it all but only a short journey to some of the best the Far West of Cornwall has to offer, you’re only 10 minutes by car to the amazing Sennen and Gwenver beaches or 15 minutes to Newlyn harbour for some of the freshest seafood there is.

LIVING

The whole living area has been carefully thought out with pieces of furniture selected to complement each other. The open plan living area with its beautiful Black Forest oak parquet floor is the hub of the home and a social space. Perfect after a day at the beach, sink into one of the two large sumptuous sofas or gorgeous leather armchair. The window is ideal for sitting back and admiring the countryside views by day, or in the evening light the wood burner and read a book or snuggle up to a film on the large TV.

COOKING & EATING

This kitchen is any cook’s dream. The fabulous kitchen is open plan to the living space and is handmade by Treyone of Cornwall, with a quartz worktop supplied by Duke Stone in Helston. The appliances are Neff and you will have all the equipment and space needed to cook up a feast. Flooded with natural light it’s a beautifully designed kitchen with a fridge-freezer, dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine for your essential morning cuppa.

WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING...

“This is the second year we have stayed in this property and could not recommend it highly enough. It has been tastefully modernised and the kitchen is very well equipped. As our grandson was performing at The Minack Theatre it is an ideal place to stay as the house is a 10 minute walk away. It is also minutes from the nearest beach.”

Roberto – August 2023

“My friends and I absolutely loved the apartment. Kitchen and bathrooms were especially beautiful and all bedrooms had lovely linen. The beach was a 10-minute walk away and featured a nice lovely bay. Truly was a very serene holiday.”

Mia – June 2023 

"We had a wonderful week at An Chy Gwyn in Porthcurno. Everything about the apartment was immaculate and perfect – we couldn’t fault it. The layout and the interiors were beautiful, with lovely, local art on the walls – a real home from home. We loved the light and spacious rooms with huge windows looking out on to the countryside. We felt a sense of calm as soon as we walked in. The peaceful garden at the back of the house had a lovely view and was a real sun trap where we could enjoy alfresco evening meals. We were blown away by the beauty of this area – Porthcurno is a magical place with some spectacular coastal views. The weather was divine with full sun every day, we were so lucky. All in all a blissful holiday! Thank you so much."

The location is of course perfect and the apartment is very clean, supremely comfortable and fitted out with everything one could need or want”
