What a treat to find such a welcoming and luxurious B&B so close to the Minack Theatre. Carolyn and her 3 adorable dogs made us feel at home immediately. On arrival, we were served a delicious home made cream tea in the cosy separate lounge. We stayed in the lovely St Loy room, with crisp white bed linen, a heavenly comfortable bed and lots of stylish finishing touches. Our en-suite bathroom was fabulous with a large claw-footed double-ended bath and separate shower cubicle. The locally sourced breakfast was superb. We enjoyed chatting to the other guests around the large dining table and were spoiled for choice with the menu. A very comfortable and immaculately clean home, providing first class service in a lovely relaxed atmosphere...thank you Carolyn, we will definitely be back!

Downs Barn Farm is easy to find, but is away from the main road, making it very peaceful. It is close to some stunning coastal scenery, with or without a car. Nanjizal Room has an extremely comfortable bed and the room is large, bright, fresh, airy, clean and is thoroughly wholesome. The view from the window looks to the sea and the Wolf Rock Lighthouse, quite a treat if you live inland. The accompanying ensuite has a tingling-fresh shower and abundant toiletries. It is all such a pleasure to use and enjoy, either to go downstairs and tuck into a feast of a breakfast that will sustain you for most of the day - all beautifully presented by Carolyn, or to retire to bed at the end of the day and feel safe and secure. Feeling safe and secure is important to me, being a solo traveller. Carolyn and the family's pooches are what make Downs Barn so extra special - the friendliest and most endearing dogs you will ever meet and the kindest and most hospitable hostess you will ever meet. The welcome is very genuine and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Downs Barn Farm to others. It is my only choice in West Cornwall.

from the moment you arrive to the moment that you leave you could not wish for more.
Carolyn and the labs are there to greet and to offer tea and scones.We stayed in the St Loy room.This has an en-suite bathroom complete with roll top bath (keeps the ladies happy)The room was spotless and had eveything that you needed for your stay.Help and information was there you only have to ask.I could write a couple of hundred words on the breakfast.But it is enough to say that there is something to cover anyones taste.(Lunch was not required after the breakfast)
In short we look forward to going again.

Returned home yesterday from a 3 night stay at Downs Barn Farm and can't wait to go back again. On arrival we received the most friendly greeting ever received at a B&B or hotel accommodation from Carolyn and her 3 gorgeous dogs. Our room, which overlooked the garden and farm with a view to the sea, was fabulous. Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and with everything in it you could possibly need for a 2 week stay let alone a short break ! I never sleep well in a strange bed but I certainly did in this one - the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. In the morning we shared a large table for breakfast with two other lovely guests. There was a Gold Certificate for the breakfasts on display - this was more than deserved. Huge choice, fruits, cereals, juices and cooked breakfast locally sourced. We even had potatoes straight out of the farm soil. Really filling and delicious !
We are now searching our diaries to pick a date when we can go back again. Carolyn, you really deserve every award and certificate that you have been given. Wonderful host and home, beautiful dogs and amusing husband ! ! ! Thank you.
