Deugh An Chy

We have visited Deugh an Chy on many occasions, with the whole family filling the house or just the two of us. The new addition of the sun room is fabulous, looking out over the garden. It makes for a very comfortable stay if the weather turns bad in the summer, while the log burner works in the winter. We love walking the beaches or coast paths, returning to cook or visit one of several very good restaurants in Porthleven just five minutes away.

We specifically chose this cottage for it's quiet, rural location in an area from which so much was accessible on the North and South coasts of West Cornwall, plus the Lizard. The location of Deugh An Chy was perfect for this. The cottage is a home from home. It was unusually well equipped for a self catering cottage, perhaps because it is used a lot by the owners themselves. It was very cosy, the bedrooms well appointed and comfortable. All communications and arrival instructions were clear and easy to follow. Thank you.

A delightful property which fully lives up to its name as the house of welcome. The house is charming, very well equipped and situated in a quiet area with a lovely private garden but still within east reach of glorious coastline and some excellent eating. It was a perfect haven for escape - highly recommended.

This is a well-loved family home in a magical part of Cornwall - a real home from home. I loved the beautiful interiors and the relaxed feel of it all, the window seats and garden views from the bedrooms. It's brilliantly located too - the Helford, the south coast (Praa Sands, Rinsey, Prussia Cove) and Gwithian's golden sands are all within a 20-minute drive.

This was our second visit to Deugh An Chy. It's just a truly beautiful place to stay; the house is immaculate and fantastically well kitted-out, but also feels comfortable and homely. It's utterly peaceful, with wonderful walks from the doorstep, and in a great location to be able to access both North and South coast with ease. Finally, the owner's communications are impressively pleasant and efficient. Can't recommend it highly enough!

Deugh an Chy was my family’s idea of a 'dream home' so you cannot beat that. So much thought and care has been put into the furnishings and equipment and everything works perfectly. We loved the garden, the cerise rhodedendron was in full bloom as were many wild flowers. One of the great things about staying here that it is so well placed to explore this beautiful part of Cornwall.

This cottage has such a peaceful ambiance and is beautifully situated in a magical part of Cornwall. Everything has been thought through here with attention to detail and the garden is beautiful.

Ann and Danny are very kind, welcoming and thoughtful folk who own a very special place. What a treasure to find such a gem tucked away in a perfect location between the Lizard and Land's End with Godolphin House on your doorstep. We have stayed in many places recommended by Sawday's over the years and this is one of the very best. Come to explore the magic of St Michael's Mount, the Lizard, Helford River, St Ives and the Minack Theatre all of which are within an easy drive or just pick a book from shelves and relax in the beautiful garden or in front of the fire. Perfect in every way.

Had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house . Fresh linen , pretty garden . Absolutely no negatives from our family and dogs . Almost like stepping back in time in a beautiful part of Cornwall. Reminiscent of my own childhood holidays' only better . Thank you Ann

A home- from- home,especially if yours happens to be particularly lovely, comfortable, clean, well- appointed & welcoming. Our second visit, plus two grandchildren (5 & 8) from the US, who learned badminton and cricket in the safe, spacious & v well - tended garden, then ice-creams on the terrace while watching the wildlife.The information file provided is full of ideas about things to do locally, whatever the weather. Catch the train from St Erth to St Ives for wonderful sea views. After busy days we all slept soundly in our extremely comfortable beds. The perfect Cornish holiday retreat.

What a wonderful place to stay! Deugh an Chy was the perfect base for our week in Cornwall, the cottage is a delight and the surrounding area had so much to offer. There was plenty of room for our party of five adults, the bedrooms were all very comfortable with plenty of storage and really good quality bedlinen. The bathrooms were very high spec and as for the kitchen, well, we couldn't have asked for more. Drinks on the terrace were a regular fixture, (with entertainment provided by the peacock, a pheasant and the resident rabbits) before dinner around the lovely kitchen table. Perfect.

Fantastically resorted country cottage. Attention to detail in the contruction and amenities provided. A good nights sleep was guaranteed! Looking forward to going back. :)

The cottage is beautifully appointed and has a well equipped kitchen, which the whole family used to the full. Beds and bedrooms were good and the lounge comfortable and cosy. It has a pleasant garden which if the weather had allowed we would have spent more time in. Booking was simple, the owners very friendly and helpful and we would certainly go again.

I was so pleased I booked this cottage for our week down in cornwall. It's in a really peaceful spot with so many lovely places to explore nearby. We found it extremely cosy and well equipped with everything we needed to cook up some meals as we didn't want to eat out all week. Our 2 year old also loved the house and garden as it's very child friendly. Owners were really helpful when I made the booking. So all in all a perfect week and we would definitely return here.
