Just a short 10-minute drive from Penzance, Lower Crankan Farm is a hidden gem, offering a serene and peaceful retreat that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle. We recently had the pleasure of staying in the shepherd's hut for three days, and it was an experience we'll cherish. Though the hut is compact—barely larger than a train coach—it’s incredibly well-equipped. Inside, you'll find all the essentials neatly tucked away. There's a small kitchenette with two stoves, a freezer, and a cozy dining area. The hut even has its own little restroom, ensuring you have everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bed is particularly noteworthy—slightly elevated from the floor, it’s wonderfully comfortable and made for a great night’s sleep. The farm itself is alive with activity, home to chickens, cattle, and horses, all set against a backdrop of stunning countryside. It's the perfect spot for those who love nature and want to unwind in a beautiful, rural setting. Breakfast was a highlight of our stay. Selected from a menu the evening before, it was served in the charming conservatory, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere to start the day. The food was delicious and made with fresh, local ingredients. Lower Crankan Farm is, without a doubt, the best B&B we’ve visited so far. It’s a place where you can truly relax and disconnect, and the shepherd’s hut offers a unique experience that adds to the charm. If you’re looking for a relaxing vacation in a picturesque setting, we highly recommend staying here.

As you do not have any mobile network coverage here - the WiFi signal could have been better, it gets disconnected often.

Our stay on Lower Crankan Farm was stellar, Phil and Geoff made us feel incredibly welcome in their space and went above and beyond to help us out during our entire weekend stay. The farm is beautiful and is perfectly situated super close to scenic spots in West Cornwall like St Ives, Newlyn, Lands End etc but all the while still feeling like you are hidden away in your own countryside getaway. They also cook up a mean breakfast! Will definitely be returning!

Nothing bad to say at all.

Thank you so much to the hosts for the wonderful stay at your farm. The farm, both the house and the garden, is very beautiful, quiet and charming. The interior design of the house is very artistic and cozy at the same time. The owners treated us to delicious breakfasts with freshly cut flowers decorating the table. They also shared numerous tips on local places to visit and to eat. We felt very welcomed and would love to come back.

Everyting was superb!

Fabulous hosts, settings and bed. Very clean and great quality everything from bedding, to fresh eggs and amazing cheese (and croissants which my husband thoroughly enjoyed lol). LOVED our hosts Phil and Geoff so much, they are both amazing, very kind, friendly and chatty and would go above and beyond to attend your every need The farm and its location are out of this world beautiful and charming and peaceful. We loved the gardens and also playing with Harry, the friendliest happiest dog ever! Hoping to come back soon, already missing you all!!!

No mini fridge in the room, unable to lock adjoining kitchen door, also proximity to kitchen made it extremely noisy at times

The welcome, property, location and quality of the food provided at breakfast were exceptional. If you want an off the beaten track location but still within easy reach of St Ives, Penzance, Lands end and Lizard then this is for you. I would say that Lower Crankan Farm would be difficult to beat.

The only thing I would suggest could be improved upon is another mirror in the Shepards Hut on the inside of the wardrobe.

The B&B is in a very idyllic and quiet location surrounded by lots of greenery. Phil is a very nice, accommodating host and he makes excellent breakfast. The rooms are very small, there is a beautiful winter garden which is used for breakfast. Very nice bathroom.

It would be nice if the winter garden could be used better, e.g. to make tea and coffee there and also to eat a little something (maybe a small fridge for the milk?) The rooms are very small and really only usable for sleeping.

Really an extraordinary B&B. The hosts were very hospitable. Their cat and dog did also welcome us very friendly. Our Garden Room had its own entrance and its own little terrace. Room and bath were very clean and modern. The delicious breakfast (selected from a menu the evening before) was served in a very pleasant atmosphere in the conservatory. For dinner our hosts provided us with excellent recommendations for local restaurants. This B&B is the best we ever visited to far and allows for a really nice and relaxing vacation. Unfortunately we had only booked for 4 nights.

The only thing we missed was WiFi on the terrace of our room. But not having it there also has its advantages.

Everything was perfect. The place was superb and the hosts (Geoff and Phil) were excellent. Always giving suggestions on how we can make the most out of our planned destinations for the day.

None. We liked everything.

The Lower Crankan Farm is a home away from home - with incredible helpful and friendly hosts. The rooms and bathrooms are very clean and high standard and the breakfast was superb - with freshly baked goods and fruits from the beautiful garden, in which one is also allowed to dwell. The Farm is secluded so our stay there was very peaceful and at the same time it is only a stone's throw away from the city of Penzance. The hosts also offer a list of places to eat nearby and because of that we had very fine dinners as well. I can only highly recommend this B&B!!!

Phil and Geoff really were the most gracious hosts. They were so welcoming from beginning to end and endeavoured to make our experience at their place memorable...at it was. They offered up suggestions of places to visit each morning and everything they suggested was exactly what we were looking for. Everything here was perfect - the room, the facilities, the animals, breakfast, property, location to Penzance - perfect! We would certainly stay here again!

Nothing - the place was perfect!
