We stayed in the Shepherds hut at Crankan Farm which is situated in the Farm’s gorgeous garden. If you love animals then this is the place to stay, there are Geese opposite the hut and horses and cows nearby. We particularly loved the skylight in the Shepard’s hut, seeing the stars at night is a wonderful experience … the Farm is set in a beautiful part of Cornwall, no wonder a lot of Artists also live in the area, the hosts Geoff and Phill are amazing and so welcoming, with a great knowledge of Penzance and the surrounding areas. We received a lovely welcoming pack on arrival and they are close by if you need anything. If you wish to escape the hustle and bustle of life then we highly recommend you escape to Crankan Farm … we definitely will return

Having to go home, wanted to stay forever!

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.

It was quaint and the gardens were beautiful. Excellent ambience where the flora scented the air. Easy parking. Picturesque. Perfect for having afternoon tea on the patio. Great welcome and helpfulness from proprietor. I loved looking at the stars through the skylight.

Only thing was it lacked a microwave. The shower was a bit small but this did not detract from how beautiful it is.

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!

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 small, black dog, Harry, that greeted us upon our arrival was adorable! Phil, the host was most helpful with advice and directions to several places in the area. He also left us with a nice bottle of chilled wine in the refrigerator!

A sign at the entrance road to the property would have been helpful. It was a bit small.

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 location was great with excellent parking, however, signage to find the accommodation wasn't good. The setting and level of quality of the hut couldn't be faulted. I would of liked the lighted the skylight to have had a blind for when sleeping.

Signage to find the entry to accommodation.

The Shepherd's Hut was beautifully fitted out, clean and comfortable. My only comment would be that the property is advertised as bed and breakfast but I was supplied with a welcome pack, which was perfectly good but not quite what i was expecting.
