Chy Venton
Room by Room
This stunning and well equipped peaceful eco-build has it all, a fully equipped kitchen, a log burner, a comfy sofa, and sumptuous beds. The mattresses are super comfy, and we even have different pillow types so you can choose how best to slumber.
Living Room
The living room has books with games and DVDs. We do have wi-fi but we currently have no TV signal. The room has a small TV, because getting close means getting cosy, right, in front of a roaring fire, perhaps. The fixtures and fittings are either handmade or have been specially chosen to add to your comfort, like the velvet sofa and Persian rug.
Kitchen
The kitchen boasts actual free cupboard-space with a fridge and dishwasher, a cooker and all the utensils you need to cook a wholesome meal. We keep stock on spice and the odd basic foodstuff. We tend to leave a gift to help you settle. If you need anything at all please ask and we’ll do our best to provide it.
​
Please be advised: you will be expected to use the washing-up liquid and dishwasher tablets provided to keep the reed-bed bio-cultures alive. Of course, they are fantastic products from Ecover, and we use them ourselves.
Bedroom
The bedroom is super inviting, the double bed has a high-quality mattress with wool fibres for winter, breathable on the reverse for summer. A topper adds to that comfort with the whole dressed in French linen. The wardrobe is large with storage space on top. A hairdryer, an ironing board and mirror have been provided to help you look your best.
Mezzanine Bedroom
The mezzanine offers space enough for two children, two young teenagers, or even a couple of adult friends (king-sized bedding is available as the twin beds transform into a king-sized bed). The stairs are designed to offer space-saving access, but with a half turn and lazy ladder please be careful.
Bathroom
The bathroom has a great shower, a large bath, very hot water, and a shower that doesn’t dribble – solar power accounts for the majority of your electric usage, with a septic tank and reed-bed system that looks after your waste.
​
Please be advised: you will be expected to use the shampoo, conditioner, and soap provided to keep the reed-bed bio-cultures alive. These are fantastic products from Faith in Nature, and we use them ourselves. Additionally, you will be required to use biodegradable toilet paper from Who Gives A Crap, we supply a roll to get you started, and the bin provided is for period products and wet wipes, so please don’t flush them.
Entrance Hall/Utility
The utility room has space enough to manage all the usual holiday clutter. There are shelves and a cupboard for shoving stuff, and a washing machine to look after your dirty clothes (you can find a clothes air dryer stored in the bathroom cupboard, along with a mop for spills, just in case). A hose with tap is located outside for cleaning wetsuits.
Please be advised: you will be expected to use the laundry detergent provided to keep the reed-bed bio-cultures alive. This is a fantastic product from Ecover, and we use it ourselves.
Front garden
Leading out from the utility you’ll find that hose, the entrance courtyard, a BBQ and the recycling bins. Free parking is provided and there’s a path that leads to the private garden, beyond a footpath heading out to the wilds (Carn Euny is less than a 30-minute walk away, there are holy wells nearby (one in our community garden) and Sancreed beacon has the best views around).
Rear garden
The private back garden has a table and chairs, flower beds and a small fire-pit. It's a wonderfully peaceful spot, perfect for your morning cup of tea, accompanied by birdsong.
​
We also have a roundhouse which can be made available to guests who might wish to continue their daily practice of meditation.
Accessibility
The track leading up to Chy Venton is narrow. You will need to drive very slowly and would not be suitable for tall vehicles, such as a large campervan. Chy Venton is suitable for children and able-bodied adults. The parking is level with 3 steps down to the front door. The internal stairs to the mezzanine level are steep so it may not be suited to those with limited mobility. Do contact us first to make sure it’s suitable for you.
