"Chy" is Cornish for "house"...Chy-an-Creet in St. Ives was built as a private residence by EDGAR SKINNER, a close friend of Master Potter Bernard Leach in about 1923 and retains its comfortable ambience away from - but within easy reach of - the town centre. Almost surrounded by borders of sub tropical plants, Edgar's house is tucked away near to where the edge of town meets the enchanting Penwith Moors to the west. It is convenient for touring, walking, sightseeing in this area of outstanding natural beauty, or just relaxing. 

Four Star quality ensuite Guest Accommodation

Open from Spring to October for holidays and short breaks, Edgar's is now a non-smoking house. Each of our seven centrally heated en-suite guest rooms has a complimentary beverage tray and colour television.

Amazing golden sandy beaches, the bustling town centre, picturesque St Ives harbour and Cornwall's most scenic St Ives railway branch line are all within about 15 minutes' walk from Edgar's. To help you explore the Rosamund Pilcher country around St Ives there is free parking in our grounds throughout your stay and many coach tours (and buses for Zennor and Land's End and Penzance) stop right outside.
