One
of a pair, the house stands above the bay and looks towards St.
Michaels Mount. Although still retaining much of its former elegance,
you will not find yourself in a museum - it’s a family home ideal
for families and all that means.
Once you are settled in, you will want to explore, and we welcome
an interest in the house and grounds, in their history and surroundings.
Although this is the 21st century, you could be forgiven if you
thought you heard the crunch of carriage wheels upon the drive,
or the shout of the gardener’s lad from the greenhouse. It’s easy
to confuse the gentle sound of the sea upon the beach below with
the sound of a rustling evening gown as ‘Madam’ descends for dinner.
Chymorvah once knew a quality of life and a lifestyle that has disappeared
as part of a bygone age. Immediately you turn into the driveway
you will feel traces of an atmosphere from the days of Queen Victoria,
mingled with the timelessness of the wonderful scenery. |

We
have improved the interiors of these rooms to try to match the exterior
views, and comfort has been top of the list of requirements. If
grandeur is not to your taste, then you may enjoy a cosy room with
beamed ceilings where the maids once slept.
These
rooms enjoy the same comfortable furnishings as the other rooms,
but have a friendliness about them that’s all their own. One can
well imagine the gossip and giggles that took place here after the
house had gone to bed. All bedrooms are ensuite and have their own
TV and telephone. But before bed, or just to relax in, use the lounge
with its comfortable sofas, colour TV (24") combined DVD & VCR and
music centre. Sky TV is available (sorry - no sport channels).

The
house has full central-heating and ample parking. And outside,
you will have access to the large garden which leads through a
Victorian walled vegetable garden down steps to the beach below.
Part
of the garden is available for your exclusive use - although remember
that we will need to do some maintenance in the garden now and
again - and you are welcome to wander more or less unrestricted
around the remainder of the grounds, providing you don't mind
the company of our Labradors, our cats, our rabbit, our chicken
and our ducks. We have a long-term project in progress restoring
the Victorian grounds, and many Guests enjoy keeping track of
our work and benefiting from it too.
Special
note: If you fill up this house, we also have another one
available, which sleeps 6/8 and is very similar with the same
breathtaking views.
