Chy an Gwennelli (House of the Swallows) is situated on St Michael's Way, an ancient pilgrim's trail that tracks across Cornwall from St Ives on the north coast to Marazion and St Michael's Mount on the south coast. The hamlet of Tregarthen nestles on south facing slopes amongst fields and flower farms and is in a great location for your Cornish Holiday. Reversed level living provides Chy an Gwennelli with fabulous panoramic views of Mount's Bay and the enchanting St Michael's Mount. The open plan living room is perfect for convivial gatherings around the large farmhouse dining table, or for just relaxing on one of the three leather sofas which flank the wood burner. The spacious property combines contemporary living with exposed beams, and the individual art from local artists adds character and charm. Recently converted, the barn is beautifully appointed. 5 Star Award, 2008. The three bathrooms provide ample facilities and the kitchen allows for group participation with the cooking!
