We offer a warm welcome at Chycarne Farm, a traditional Cornish farm, built in the 17th century and situated in a conservation area of outstanding natural beauty.

The farm is south facing, set in five acres of grounds with truly magnificent panoramic views over the surrounding unspoilt countryside and beyond to Mounts Bay, from the Lizard to Penzance.

Nestling on the side of Tregonning Hill, Chycarne Farm is a unique and beautiful retreat from the rest of the world. Each season has something to offer here. Being so far south, the warm sun and mild climate produce sub-tropical vegetation. Wild flowers grow in profusion along the stone wall hedges in Spring and Summer. In the Autumn and Winter the heather, gorse and bracken form a carpet of colour on the hillsides. The original granite farm buildings at Chycarne have been imaginatively converted into comfortable self-catering accommodation. Surrounded by peaceful gardens and paddocks, where you can sit and relax and enjoy the unique atmosphere and views.

We hope that you will visit us at Chycarne Farm and have a wonderful holiday in beautiful Cornwall.
