Why stay here ...

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

South facing and set in six 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 heathers, gorse and bracken form a carpet of colour on the hillsides. 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.

No car charging available on site. Nearest charging point is at Tesco Helston 4 miles away.

Peaceful CL with glorious views

A peaceful, large field with lovely far reaching views - but very sloping, needing a lot of blocks to level the van. Very little arrival information, and with holiday cottage cars parked, can be awkward to do the sharp right turn off the road into the location— Grass kept nicely short... Show more

Unfortunately not totally as described on this description.

I know my title doesn’t sound very flattering but I do feel I need to leave an honest review for this location. I spent seven nights here in July. The site was booked for a family as the description and photo’s showed a play area / apparatus that my grandchildren... Show more

Wonderful Views but very sloping

Wonderful views but very sloping site, be prepared to take levelling wedges, possible 12 in requirement. Roads narrow and access tight if you have a largish caravan. It was wet when we arrived and without 4 wheel drive I wouldn't have got onto the site. Electrics 10 amp and wifi... Show more

Long walk to bus stop

This site has the most beautiful views across the bay towards Newyn, however the pitches are quite sloping. As we have a Motorhome we prefer to use buses, these were frequent but it was quite a trek to and from the bus stop, about 25 minutes up hill on the... Show more

So peaceful

We stayed for a fortnight in Sept, what a beautiful view and so quiet well away from noisy roads. Lots to do and not too far to travel would recommend this site.

A site worth staying at

Good views, particularly from the top right hand pitch. Grass regularly cut. No site wifi at the vans, but enough signal to hotspot from smartphones. If it has rained, you may need a run to ensure forward momentum coming up in the field. If you have a long van you... Show more

Picturesque views

This is overall a nice site, with picturesque views from some of the pitches (hint take a second hook-up cable if you have one). Nice area, and we and our children enjoyed our stay. Just a few minor things to point out: - WIFI - forget it from the caravan. If' you're... Show more

Lovely site!

Chycarne Farm is probably one of the nicest, prettiest Cl sites that we have ever visited.  Lovely views towards Mounts Bay and very peaceful location.  The site does slope but Ollie, one of the site owners, is very obliging and will supply extra levelling blocks if required.  Our caravan is...

An immaculately kept site, the grass was better mowed than my lawn! Lovely views and a very spacious site - plenty of room for children to play, play equipment and a separate field for kite flying etc, dog exercising area. The other two reviews comment on the site entrance and the... Show more

Lovely site

We stayed at this CL for a few nights in June 2013 and found it a little difficult to get to because of narrow Cornish lanes!!! The owner was very welcoming and the site clean and tidy. It's on a bit of a hill, which makes parking up a little... Show more
