    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.

    Stayed in one of the lodges. It was clean, modern, comfortable and had everything you could possibly wish for. We only stayed one night but you could comfortability stay for weeks and use it as a base to explore Cornwall. The complex was secure and restfully quiet - helped by a no children & no animals policy. There is an attached restaurant which was good quality and value for money.

    The property was clearly recently renovated and looks very clean and modern and had everything we wanted and more. Had lovely extra finishing touches to make the property feel very homely . Looks a lot bigger in person than in the photos. Property doesn’t have parking but we easily found a space everyday opposite near the flats, which was free. The owners have clearly put a lot of effort in with the property and making it homely. Great location in the centre of Penzance also.
