Castallack Farm

16th July 2021:

it is a delightful setting. We were made to feel most welcome and almost part of the family a long with the 2 ponies, dogs and cats. Breakfasts were excellent!

Bewares the access road as it gets narrower and narrower! The turning at Newlin across the main road has to be believed as is the steep clime up the hill.

Would Recommend: Yes

Yes the hill up from Newlyn can be a bit tricky in the height of the summer but as long as you take it easy it is pretty much ok. Our road is narrow but plenty of passing places. It really is a delightful setting. Nick.

27th June 2021:

Lovely stay for 3 nights, fantastic breakfasts and superb hosts. Highly Recommend.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for your review. We mostly get 5* for location perhaps the narrow Cornish lanes are to blame for your 3*. Anyway thanks for your recommendation. Nick

22nd June 2021:

Brilliant hosts, very helpful and friendly, and a fantastic, peaceful location!

Plenty of great walks nearby, including into Mousehole and along the coast in the other direction towards Porthcurno. Lovely spot if looking for some peace and quiet!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for taking the time to review. glad you enjoyed your stay. Nick & Rachel.

19th June 2021:

Very friendly and helpful. Having stayed in various holiday accommodation over the years we would recommend this as the best we have stayed in.

Would Recommend: Yes

Brilliant, thank you ever so much for great review.

4th June 2021:

Excellent In every way. Fantastic location and very friendly and welcoming.

Good local restaurants / pubs in nearby towns and villages. Easy access to beaches

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for a great review. It was a pleasure to have you stay here again. Best wishes. Nick😎

1st June 2021:

Fabulous breakfast choices and wonderfully cooked. Really good location, very peaceful with easy access to the coast

Would Recommend: Yes

Glad you enjoyed your breakfasts & yes the location is excellent for spending time exploring Mid & West Cornwall. Best wishes. Nick

31st May 2021:

A really nice family run business, out to help or to give guidance when needed. Poor Wifi, but then who needs it on holiday. If one finds it essential, there is better reception in nearby Newlyn and Penzance.

Kings Arms at Paul served good pub meals, service could be abit slow at times, and OK at other times. Disappointed with Logan Rock Inn. As a change from fish at mealtimes once went to Chinese "Sea Palace Chinese Restaurant" in Penzance. Excellent area for coastal bay walks,; A trip to Geevor Tin Mine and a sea trip on Marine Discovery, Penzance are well worth visiting for things to do.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for your helpful review. Yes the WiFi isn't great but is good enough for emails & using Google etc. The Logan Rock pub has very mixed reviews, we went there about a month ago at lunchtime & it was very good for food & service but other guests have been disappointed. Nick

22nd May 2021:

We would like to thank Nick & Val for information regarding places of interest and route suggestions

Must see Minack theatre and surrounding coastal walks Good meal at ship in Mousehole but very difficult to park Unfortunately would have liked to walked from accommodation but weather prevented us exploring Lamora Cove.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for leaving a review. Have to say disappointed with 3/5 for facilities as I don't know what else we could offer to make that a better score? Fibre broadband I guess together with a good mobile signal neither of which we can affect sadly. Also 3/5 for service & staff is disappointing especially as that is me. Anyway such is life & who Val is I don't know! Nick

22nd September 2020:

Friendly welcome and throughout stay. Beautiful surrounding countryside and lovely accommodation in converted farmhouse.

Accommodation is very close to the coastalpath which is breathtaking. Do not miss out on the walks

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for reviewing & glad you enjoyed your stay. Best wishes, Nick

10th September 2020:

We received a very warm welcome and Rachel had chased up the non-arrival of our luggage before we arrived. Great care had been taken to maintain safe Covid precautions as unintrusively as possible. Nick provided an excellent breakfast in the splendid dining room.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd September 2020:

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Castallack Farm. We felt very well looked after and made to feel at home. More importantly for us the host was extremely good at maintaining a safe environment for our stay. Couldn’t fault our stay and I can be picky.. already recommended this place to friends!

The Host is brilliant for advising where to go and eat and has his finger on the pulse with what is happening where!

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd August 2020:

Wonderful and welcoming hosts, rooms are delightful, sparkling clean and well equipped. Breakfasts are magnificent, with a really good focus on local produce and delicious ingredients.

West Penwith really is the end of the land, so take time to explore on foot and enjoy the unspoilt lanes and beautiful sea views around the place.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your thoughts. We appreciate them very much. Glad you enjoyed your stay.Nick & Rachel

1st August 2020:

Perfect and welcoming hosts and we liked the fact you took the Covid 19 situation seriously and did everything you could to make us feel it was safe to stay with you.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for your comments. We have worked hard at trying to get the balance of safety & comfort working for our guests. We really do appreciate that you feel it has succeeded.

28th July 2020:

lots of local excellent eateries.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for 20 out of 20.Really pleased you enjoyed your stay.

27th July 2020:

Amazing experience, wonderful home and hosts. Made a perfect weekend even better.

Would Recommend: Yes

Perfect weekend sounds good. We're delighted you had an amazing experience.

20th July 2020:

We stayed for three nights just after the lifting of lockdown and felt very happy with all the precautions which had been taken. We had a good stay with a comfortable bed, friendly hosts and good breakfasts. A very pleasant and peacful break.

We ate at three local pubs, the Kings Arms, Paul, The Ship Inn, Mousehole and The Logan Rock Inn of which we enjoyed the last the most and would recommend it. The Ship was also good with lovely views over the harbour.

Would Recommend: Yes

It is always good to hear about good places to eat that we may not have been to for a while. The Logan Rock has always been a favourite of guests for it's friendly welcome & good food. Glad also you were happy with our precautions due to COVID.

16th March 2020:

Many thanks for such a warm welcome despite our late arrival. A lovely cosy room and very tasty breakfast, which set us up for the next day of our walk along the South West Coast Path.

Castallack Farm is not far from The Lamorna Wink, which is a short 10-15 minute walk downhill.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for your great review. Much appreciated. We are about 15mins walk away from the Wink & many guests walk there. Easy 10-15 minute walk there with a bit longer on the wayback due to going uphill!!

16th March 2020:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for 5/5 review.

5th October 2019:

A little off the normal B & B spots but excellent for those wanting peace, quiet and the countryside.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your review. Yes, we are a bit off the beaten track but plenty of great places, restaurants etc within easy driving distance.

22nd September 2019:

Lovely farm property in idyllic lush green surroundings, close to Lamorna. Very welcoming with tea and cake for weary hikers. Breakfast next morning was top notch. For those hiking the SW Coast Path, be aware the farm is located a good 2.5 kms (mostly uphill) from the path.

Avoid the Shipp Inn pub for food, as it is very mediocre at best. The Lamorna Wink is closed Mon and Tues, so there was little choice but to go to Mousehole for dinner. The 2 Fore Restaurant around the corner looked like a much better place, but was full.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd September 2019:

Would Recommend: Yes

18th September 2019:

The Farm was one of the most wonderful places that we stayed. Every single part of it was PERFECT. The entire experience was such a treat. We loved the farm it was gorgeous we were able to see the animals, walk the premises and just plan relax in style and comfort. We were traveling so we only wish we had booked a few nights in a row.

We rented a car and the road around the Inn are small and rather dark. We brought our dinner in and stayed tight for the night. There was a lovely courtyard and we dined alfresco with the sound of a bubbling fountain and some curious koi.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your great review. So pleased you enjoyed your stay. We get many guests saying they wished that they had booked for longer. It's tricky because you don't want to commit without experiencing & by the time you find out that it was a great place to stay it's too late.

17th September 2019:

It is always lovely to return to Castallack Farm. Thankyou too for your warm welcome, as always. Beautiful breakfasts, very comfortable room and beds.

No,2 Fore street Mousehole is very good, also The MacKerel sky in Newlyn is lovely, seating outside if it is full inside.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for great review. No2 Fore Street & Mackerel Sky are our two favourites along with The Mexico Inn at Long Rock.

2nd September 2019:

Lovely place to stay, everything was what we were expecting, breakfast absolutely brilliant more than one could eat. Staff brilliant.

Didn't really travel about very much as we were attending a wedding venue.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed your breakfasts & we were what you expected.

27th August 2019:

Poor internet reception.

Polgoon Vineyard is well worth visiting. Lovely lunch and wine tasting and no pushy sales people. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for your review. Yes internet speed is an issue in West Cornwall & of course those places that can offer peace & tranquillity off the beaten track are often off the beaten track for high speed/fibre brpadband. We are looking at Satellite but it can be patchy.

26th August 2019:

We are always made so welcome...it has become just like family!

Pemlee Art gallery A small gallery focusing on artists who have been in Newlyn and Lamorna for a time. The Kurt Jackson Art Gallery in St. Just. Again a very small but very different gallery. Good eating in St. Just.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for your review. Glad you feel at home here. The Kurt Jackson gallery in St Just is quite different & the prices reflect that. The dog & rabbit is a favourite cafe of ours & is in St Just. Well worth a visit.

20th August 2019:

Nick and Rachel have a beautiful b&b , they made us welcomed we cannot fault anything about our stay the room was very very clean bed comfortable , breakfast was superb and catered for my husband and friend who are celiacs which is amazing . Situated in a area very quiet for a relaxing stay , with plenty of walks and scenery to take in . We look forward to a return in the future.

As my husband is celiac the fish and chip shop in Penzance (frazers) was fantastic . To get away from the crowds we visited Cot valley , and penberth beach and of course portcurno beach below Minack theatre . We visited st Michaels mount but in August it was to busy so many children and holiday makers so you did not really appreciate the mount , quieter times in winter is better .

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your wonderful review of not just our B&B but of thge area in general. We hope to see you again too.

6th August 2019:

After a long day of hiking on the coastal path we absolutely enjoyed the calm and lovely place. The house is nicely decorated with attention to detail. Our room as well as the dining room made us feel home. The next morning we enjoyed a freshly cooked delicious breakfast! Nick gave us some helpful tips and hints for our next hiking section. Will be happy to come back one day!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your lovely review, so glad you felt at home. We have many people stay with us who are walking the SWCP and after a hard day walking they are pleased to reach us.

2nd August 2019:

We booked on the spur of the moment so only had 1 night stay but what a gem. Beautiful tranquil setting, friendly , helpful hosts but not in your face. Bedroom had everything we needed , had a luxury look but also homely. Luxurious bathroom , lovely toiletries & fabulous shower. Good homemade selection for breakfast. Will definately be back.

Only a few minutes drive to Mousehole, quaint harbour , must visit Tremayne B & B for a scrummy cream tea. Also St Buryan Farm shop , homemade Cornish pasties very tasty. For a takeaway , visit Lewis's in Newlyn . Cheap but good food. Cant remember tje name but a Portugese cafe in Newlyn for good coffee.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for leaving a review and delighted that you enjoyed staying with us so much. Hope to see you again soon.

30th July 2019:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for rating us 4.5/5.

30th July 2019:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for leaving us a review. 4.9/5 happy with that score.

23rd July 2019:

For South West Coast Path hikers, Castallack Farm is a bit out of the way, but the hosts are wonderful and accommodation is great.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your lovely review. Very pleased that the hosts are wonderful & that you appreciated the accommodation was great.

20th July 2019:

What is so special abut Castallack Farm is that you feel you are staying with friends - Nick and Rachel are so welcoming. The only snag is the location: it's charm is its remoteness but those Cornish lanes are so narrow that it can be quite a challenge to reach, specially in the dark!

As we come to Newlyn to see our son, we are not strictly speaking tourists, so I don't have the details of the places we visit - the North coast St Just - Bptallack - Zennor are always on our agenda

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for taking the trouble to review our farm. Yes, the roads are narrow in parts but can definitely be navigated as long as you are not in a hurry! We love to have guests staying and it is our pleasure to look after them.

12th July 2019:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for 5/5.

10th July 2019:

Very friendly and welcoming hosts, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere, which makes you want to return.

Lovely walks right from the door to Mousehole, Lamorna and beyond along the coast path. Only minutes by car to Newlyn and Penzance. St Michael's Mount is a must, also St Just, Cape Cornwall and the coast path to the mines at Botallack.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th June 2019:

Very comfortable accommodation, and I appreciated the profuse amount of visitor information. I probably won’t visit again due to location, being down the very narrow lanes. As it’s necessary to book evening meals, and the lack of mobile signal it would be very helpful if you offered to contact restaurants or have landline available for guests to use.

It’s essential to book an evening meal at a local pub or restaurant, and the walk from the nearest is almost a mile up a very steep hill.

Would Recommend: No

Thank you for your comprehensive review. We value your feedback. We are always happy & often do contact restaurants & taxi firms on our guests behalf but only if we know that they are unable to do so themselves. We do have al ack of decent mobile phone signal but some providers have better coverage than others. Vodaphone is reasonable. The walk to The Wink is easy & downhill but the return is a bit of a challenge but well worth it.

12th June 2019:

Hosts very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in the farmhouse, the room was lovely and spacious with everything you needed. Breakfast was good with lots of choice. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Maritime museum Falmouth worth a visit, particularly on a wet day, though it’s a bit of a walk from the park and ride drop off. Godolphin House, a National Trust property and surrounding walks, but check which days they are open. Also enjoyed Porthleven, the Twisted Current Cafe serves an excellent cream tea!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for your lovely review & reccommendations.

11th June 2019:

Lovely place to stay. Excellent in every way. Will come again no doubt.

Lovely quiet location but minutes away from Mousehole and Lamorna cove amenities

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for taking the trouble to review us & glad you enjoyed & would stay again.

4th May 2019:

Very polite, very helpful, very supportive hosts, a lovely home, and of course not to forget the great breakfast

Let people know who hike and might be too tired to walk to town to think about their eating options for the night and bring food.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your lovely 5 star review. glad you enjoyed the breakfasts. nick

9th October 2018:

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for five out of five. Glad you had a good stay with us. Best wishes Nick and Rachel

28th September 2018:

We have stayed at Castallack Farm several times over the years mainly with our dog, but this time without, Rachael & Nick never fail with their hospitality and make you most welcome. We will be booking to stay again.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd September 2018:

On our arrival we were made very welcome and enjoyed some delicious ffreshly made "Chocolate brownies" Nothing was too much trouble when it came to delicious breakfasts!

Crab Soup at the Red Lion Newlyn. The Wink in Lamorna within walking distance....good food, good drinking and good company. The Penlee Art Gallery for small exhibitions of local artists ie. Stanhope Forbes: The Lamorna Artists: Newlyn School for example. Good food too!!

Would Recommend: Yes

19th September 2018:

Warm welcome, even though we were later than intended, cosy comfortable twin ensuite room exactly what we needed. Delicious all we could eat breakfast. Loved it!

Godolphin Arms at Marazion was the perfect place to take our friend who uses a wheelchair now; lift, disabled loo, discreet and cheerful service as well as excellent food. We also ate in the pub at Mousehole, where we had good fish and chips and welcoming cheerful service too.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th September 2018:

Rachel & Nick were both friendly & helpful.

We only had a short stay but really enjoyed visiting Mousehole and Newlyn. We found No 2 Fore Street exceptionally good for eating out. Might need to book!

Would Recommend: Yes

18th September 2018:

It was lovely to return once more to Castallack farm. A pity it was short though - we had our usual welcome by Tammy and Margot and I know that Tammy would have loved another breakfast as Megan had just finished hers.

We had our usual dinner at no. 2 Fore street and it was good to have another coffee in their very Cornish garden. We usually visit Boat cove in Perranuthno as it is so quiet, very rocky but you can gaze over Mounts bay and St.Michaels mount. Peranuthno has two excellent cafes. The Cabin and Peppercorns. There is the Cow House gallery which has some lovely art and crafts.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th September 2018:

Would Recommend: Yes

21st August 2018:

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again (spaces permitting) when we return to Cornwall. Loved the tranquility of the setting and excellent breakfasts. Thankyou for lending us your seats for the Minack theatre. Very handy having the use of a fridge and it was so nice to have fresh milk daily to use for hot drinks. Although only a short stay we had a lovely holiday and look forward to revisiting sometime.

A warm welcome awaits you at this accommodation.It is conveniently situated for easy access to the Minack theatre which is a must do activity. Mousehole isn't too far to walk although you need good walking shoes and reasonable agility to tackle the coastal path there. Had a nice lunch at 2 Fore street restaurant . Booking is advised. Sennen Cove beach is a nice place to BBQ at sunset .

Would Recommend: Yes

14th August 2018:

Finest quality B&B. Excellent hosts, great food and outstanding rooms.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for your lovely review. Best wishes Nick

10th August 2018:

Wonderful B&B facilities in a lovely farm with cats, dogs and horses. Comfortable bed, good shower and lots of information to make it a perfect base for touring the area. The only problems we encountered were lack of 4G for our phones and the wi-fi was patchy in our room. We needed to be able to contact family for a local wedding so this was important for our visit. The breakfast options were good but strangely it seemed that slices of toast were being rationed so be specific on what you would like.

The Kings Arms in Paul was a great pub to visit and less than 10 minutes by car.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for revieing and sorry you experienced issues with phone and WiFi. We do make it clear that WiFi is not fast and that there is difficulty getting a phone signal on our website. Apologies if it is not clear enough. Again there must have been a lack of communication. We have never rationed toast and as we make our own bread we always have plenty. We give two pieces each to begin with and ask if more is needd. However glad you enjoyed the rest of our facilities and if BT would get a move on we might have superfast pne day!! Best wishes Nick

9th July 2018:

Very quiet & peaceful setting, great hosts. very clean room with friendly owners.

Wifi only (no service on EE or 3 networks)

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for the five star review, much appreciated.

7th July 2018:

Lovely location

Ideal for the coast path, Mousehole and the far west of Cornwall

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for the five stars we try really hard to make every visit special. Best wishes Nick

4th July 2018:

Just a fantastic place in a great location for peace and quiet, walks, pub, beaches etc etc.

Thai Moon in Penzance, Lamorna Wink, Lamorna Cove, Porthcurno beach, Minack Theatre.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks Chris for your great comments Best wishes Nick

3rd July 2018:

Very peaceful and comfortable, loved your dogs and cats. Thanks for a great stay.

2 on Fore. Best place we ate in all of Cornwall!

Would Recommend: Yes

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Yes, dogs and cats very friendly and wish to please.

30th June 2018:

quiet, friendly, dogs welcome excellent.

Would Recommend: Yes

Glad you enjoyed the peace and quiet. Yes, we have a lot of visitors who bring their dogs with them and take advantage of the great local walks. Best wishes Nick

27th June 2018:

Rachel and Nick perfect hosts Delicious breakfasts! constructive criticism: Need a second chair in bedroom if both wish to watch TV. Lounge area quite dark to read at night. If coming to that area again would certainly stay again

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much for you nice comments. We obviously didn't show you the light switches as there are dimmable downlighters and wall lights in the lounge. Will remember to tell in the future. Regarding the second chair that isn't possible as the position of the bathroom door and the large cupboards don't leave a satisfactory space. I think most people use the bed to sit on. Best wishes Nick

22nd June 2018:

Would Recommend: Yes

18th June 2018:

We had a warm welcome and were well informed of the facilities. Guidance was also provided as to local eateries.

Check with the hosts of their movements if you wish to bring back food to eat in the dining room.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th June 2018:

Would Recommend: Yes

10th June 2018:

A wonderful two-night stay. Rachel was charming and very helpful, especially with our trip to Minack. The only drawback was the quality of internet connection which has nothing at all to do with the farm, but is a general problem for properties in the area.

Would Recommend: Yes

7th June 2018:

Excellent all round. Fantastic place and lovely people

Great location. Pub serving food nearby. Lots of things to do within short distance

Would Recommend: Yes

We're so glad you enjoyed being here, thank you for coming & look forward to seeing you again.

31st May 2018:

2nd stay for us and already looking forward to visiting again later on in the year hopefully. Wonderful place to stay for a relaxing mini break.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th May 2018:

Warm and friendly. Thought of every small detail to make our stay even more delightful.

Be aware that if you're walking the SW Coast path, Castallack farm is some distance from your route. Don't be put off. Just factor it in to your day's walk.

Would Recommend: Yes

I'm glad that you enjoyed being here. Yes, it's 1 mile from the coast path at Lamorna Cove & some of it quite uphill, however as you say it's worth it when you get here. An advantage is that to continue on your trek on the SWCP it's downhill!

26th May 2018:

We left some cheese behind. Please do as you wish with it. Wish we had more time; didn't even finish the Coast Path, so we'll be back.

The Tinners' Arms at Zennor and the Logan Rock in at Treen both did good food and beer, but were crowded even in May. The beer was good and the food ok at the Kings Arms in Paul, and this pub was quiet. The coast path St Ives - Zennor was not as difficult as the guide indicates, but Lamorna - Mousehole was more difficult then stated.

Would Recommend: Yes

Look forward to seeing you next time around!

5th May 2018:

Great place to stay for a few days.

Accept the advice of the owners re restaurants - all good. Minack, St Michaels Mount & many other good places to visit, too many for our 3 night stay in Cornwall.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th March 2018:

The Wink does not do meals on Mondays and is closed on Tuesdays. Very important if you are walking the SWCP. The food was excellent.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th December 2017:

Great breakfast menu, home cooking, locally produced food and organic too. Very homely sitting/ dining area for guests and outside areas for good weather.

Ideally placed for a visit to Mousehole Christmas lights. A very rural spot but only a short drive to local coves, Newlyn or Penzance.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th December 2017:

15th September 2017:

The bed was amazingly comfortable;fresh milk was available for the hospitality tray; a comprehensive breakfast choice was offered; Nick was a very relaxed, helpful and obliging host; having a comfortable guest lounge to use in the evening was a great bonus.the premises were clean tidy and comfortable.

We had a most interesting time at Levant mine; a visit to Tintagel to see the site of KIng Arthur's castle was inspiring and a good though windy walk; great Cornish pasties at the Deli in Mousehole. the fish and chips from Ben Tunnicliffes in Sennen Cove were wonderful.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th September 2017:

We have stayed at castallack farm for three years now, for b and b. We were very welcomed by our hosts Rachel and Nick together with Megan our border collie. It is situated in a very peaceful part of west Penwith. There is a lovely bridle path next to the farm which Megan loves. We do too! We think the best place to have ones dinner is no. 2 Fore street,mousehole,a small bistro restaurant The food is very good.

Back to the farm. The bedroom is very cosy with lovely beds and the breakfasts - there is a good range. I loved the fruit and homemade yoghurt.

12th August 2017:

Castallack Farm is a home from home yet professionally run by owners Rachel and Nick, they are extremely helpful with their knowledge of the area. Breakfasts are delicious with homemade bread, the aroma of which often greets you on your return from a day out! The bed was extremely comfortable which to me is all important for a good holiday! The water is always piping hot. I would definitely return for a further stay and hope to do so.

There is a good hostelry in nearby Lamorna called "The Lamorna Wink", seven miles away there is an excellent inn at Treen called "Logan's Rock", this became a firm favourite and is conveniently situated on the way to the Minack Theatre which is a must if you are staying here, even if you are not a theatre goer Minack is a wonderful experience. Castallack is also well situated for the Coastal Path, the bus service, every hour, is very handy for this.

Would Recommend: Yes

Lovely accomodation, very friendly hosts, superb breakfast.

Well positioned for visits to the Minack Theatre. Duke Street cafe in Newlyn very good for coffee and teas. 2 Fore street in Mousehole also excellent. Penlee Gallery in Penzance has a Stanhope Forbes exhibition on which is very good. Over 70 originals on display, only £4 entrance fee.

Attractive farmhouse with accommodation in a pleasant courtyard setting. Owner friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Breakfast very good and lovely and hot. Room has everything you need but (sorry) think the bedding and towels could do with updating. Wi fi not great.

Lots of interesting places to visit. We enjoyed our walk from the harbour car park at Sennen Cove to Lands End and back one bright evening.

A beautiful setting. The rooms are spacious, well equipped with good bathroom facilities. Comfortable beds and an exceptionally good breakfast. We were made very welcome and would highly recommend it.

If walking on the South West Coast Path then it is a 25 minute walk uphill from Lamorna. Worth it though. Taxi to Mousehole for dinner is 10 mins.

Very warm welcome .Hosts Nick and Rae very informative about local places to visit (the three P,s)or to eat out. Excellent choice at breakfast.Love having fresh milk daily. Plenty to see and do. Would recommend to friends and family looking for peaceful retreat.

The Old Coastguard for a for special meal & The Ship for good pub food at Mousehole & The Lormorna Wink for general pub grub at Lormorna cove. The Eden Project is a must see.The Minack Theatre is amazing.The train into St Ives is very good as it is park and ride and the views of the coast are excellent.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd October 2016:

An excellent "base camp" for us to explore both the local footpaths and some of the many attractions of the locality. Very kind, helpful and unobtrusive hosts.

The Old Guardhouse hotel in Mousehole has a first class restaurant. The Lamorna Wink pub in Larmorna was a friendly hostelry that provides excellent pub food.

marvellous stay with helpfull hosts. Only dissappointment was internet connection that was very spotty at its best which made work in the evenings impossible. Their internet connection should be described much more in detail or not at all.

If you are NOT dependent on a net connection for any reason, well worth a stay here

Would Recommend: Yes

We don't have high speed internet but mostly it woks well. Occasionally, clearly this time, it was not good. Many apologies.

8th September 2016:

It was lovely to return to Castallack farm and to meet up with you again - Nick and Rachel and Tammy and Margot, of course.

We met a German couple which were very nice. We loved no.2 Fore street in Mousehole and also The Kings Arms in Paul where we chat with plenty of holiday makers. Our dog Megan loved it too and she slept on her bed between ours, feeling very comfy!

Lovely peaceful location. Lots of friendly advice about where to visit etc. Loved our stay,great value for money and hope to return again one day.

You can walk to the Lamorna Wink pub down a very quiet lane,you would need a torch in winter though! Lots to see and do,borrow the ordinance survey map from Rachel to find the hidden away beaches.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th July 2016:

Nick and Rachel were lovely hosts. And Nick went out of his way to transport us to the nearby village as we were without a car. Being US travelers we were a little wary of narrow roads and left-hand driving but did not realize that public transportation might not fit all of our needs. Regardless of that, my grandchildren loved all the animals, as I did. A lovely stay - would go again with a very small car!

The Italian Kitchen in Newlyn was very nice. Local pasties of course. St. Michael's Mount, beaches. Cornwall is just charming.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th July 2016:

B&B in a lovely country setting, everything you could need is provided including bathrobes and fresh milk! Great breakfasts with a good choice. Friendly hosts with excellent local knowledge. Their recommendations were spot on.

Lamorna Wink pub, is walkable and does good food. A visit to Minack theatre just to see structure and hear the story of how it was created is a must as is a trip to St Michael's Mount. Mousehole is a very pretty fishing village and easily walkable from Castallack. We had the twin room and found it rather difficult to get to spare sockets for charging the usual must have devices, luckily we had a four gang extension socket which made things easier!

Would Recommend: Yes

20th July 2016:

We had a very comfortable stay and our hosts were very helpful. A good spot for visiting Cornwall's beauty spots.

Very central for visiting the local sites. Make sure your hire car is small as the lanes are very narrow.

Excellent in every way, bed altera clean, lovely linen. Nice big shower. Can't criticise in any way. The only slight criticism is that a shared fridge is a nusence, having to dress (or otherwise) to get the morning milk. Each room should have a small fridge. Wonderful choice of breakfasts, fresh and mostly local. Simply can not fault in any way, really beautiful atmosphere. Wonderful hosts in Nick & Racheal Hood. I could go on forever, 110 out of 100. Percent.

Be aware of the very narrow lanes with lager vehicles, this goes for many roads when heading for Cornish 'Coves' generally. You will have a wonderful holiday. Don't forget to eat at the 'Wink ' Inn at Lamona' Get a guide, loads to see and do. A Walkers paradise. Could go on and on,

This farm stay is of the highest quality. The room and facilities are excellent and the breakfast outstanding. The location is just a short walk out of Lamorna which is a really beautiful village and the home of the The Wink pub which puts on a great meal and drinks. We were on a walking tour from St.Ives to Penzance but Castallack farm would be an excellent base from which to tour all of Cornwall.

Get out of your car and walk. That way you can see and experience life in Cornwall.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th June 2016:

This is our third visit and we hope to return again. This is sufficient comment therefore.

Visitors need to spend time in this area. A couple of days is of little benefit. Explore the coast, the coves and the coastal path. Enjoy the flower-covered granite hedges and the many prehistoric sites.

30th May 2016:

Nick & Rachel are marvelous hosts!!! They are both very warm and welcoming. They made us feel instantly at home by serving us tea, coffee, and desserts when we arrived. Rachel gave us an excellent map of places to go and things to do around their farm. She also gave us excellent directions to get to the restaurant in Mousehole that we had made a reservation for. Their breakfasts are OUTSTANDING!!! Our room was excellent!! Beds are very comfortable, there is lots of space to store belongings in, the coffee and tea making devices and selections of coffees, teas, and biscuits are wonderful also. The entire house is beautiful!!

The restaurant 2 Fore Street is excellent!! Highly recommend: 1. Trengwainton Gardens 2. St. Michaels Mount 3. Sennen Cove 4. Little Bo Cafe in Sennen Cove 5. Telegraph Museum 6. Beach by telegraph museum 7. Levant Mine

When turning right when leaving the farm the lane quickly narrows and turning or reversing is difficult. Better to take the left hand options to get to coastal places.

Very welcoming and accommodating, we really appreciated the tea and brownie on arrival! Breakfast was fabulous with an extensive menu and plenty of homemade offerings (bread, preserves, yoghourt) and local produce. Immaculately clean and tidy for a working farm too.

A great base for exploring the nearby area and the peninsula: Minack, Mousehole, Marconi

29th April 2016:

First time we have been offered tea on arrival in 10 days of walking! Thank you, it was most appreciated. Room very comfortable, breakfast delicious, including best fruit/yoghurt. Only suggestion is to please put a couple of signs, showing the road to Castallack Farm. After 7 hours of walking we didn't want to walk a step more than necessary, and were not sure we were on the right path.

Make the effort to walk to the Lamorna Wink for dinner, especially if it's Quiz Night! Lots of fun and worth staying for.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for your review. We always send out detailed instructions but of course easy to lose or forget especially if cold & wet. Not sure what we can do about signs as we don’t own any of the land as you make your way up to Castallack until you are almost here. The Lands End OS map shows the road clearly but again you have to have that map. Sorry it made it difficult for you. Tea & cake always offered & nearly always accepted especially by walkers of the coast path.

20th December 2015:

Rachel and Nick could not have been more welcoming and helpful. I was travelling on my own and they gave me excellent advice on where to go, where to eat etc. and were so very friendly and welcoming on arrival and throughout my stay. I was made to feel very at home and nothing was too much trouble for them. I have stayed with them on previous occasions and cannot recommend them highly enough. Their standards are unfailingly high in every respect.

As I travelled on my own I was recommended by Rachel to eat at 'The Wink' at Lamorna on my first night. This is only a couple of minutes by car or a short walk down the road. It was excellent pub food and it was very easy to sit there without company. They only serve food on certain nights and the two following nights I ate at The Tolcarne Inn at Newlyn. This also was excellent and very easy to sit and eat on my own without feeling awkward. The lady behind the bar even brought me some magazines to read as I had forgotten to bring a book. The food was excellent. I lunched at The Old Coastguard at Mousehole (also recommended by Rachel) which was excellent and very easy to sit on ones own without feeling awkward. The walk along the coastal path from Lamorna to Mousehole is wonderful although you do need suitable footwear as it is rocky and muddy in places but well worth the effort. A cup of coffee in Mousehole revives you and it is a lovely walk back up the lanes and through the fields to Castallack Farm.

How do you do it? the highest standard for everything ! you dot the i's and cross all the t's. We have yet to find a single fault in all are many visits!! Most of all is the wonderful warm welcome, a beaming Rachael, asking if we would like a tray of tea/coffee and a freshly bake cake? yum.

Do visit Penlee House Gallery in Penzance a veritable treasure store of wonderful Cornish art when its was at it's Zenith.One of the best galleries west of London. Penberth Cove,A real delight,like walking straight into a Newlyn School painting of the 1890's complete with the fishermen of yore. Thanks for the recommendation Rachael.I shall have to watch Poldark now to see it brought alive. Wondreful Kestrel hunting ground too.

My husband and I will definitely return and I will be telling all our friends about this gem of a place. A super experience !

27th August 2015:

Thank you, we really enjoyed our stay despite the rain! The only reason we didn't give you 5 for cleanliness was the extractor in the shower room was a bit dusty!

Loved the look of the restaurant 2 Fore Street in Mousehole but sadly didn't manage to eat there. Loved the coast path walking and of course the Minack Theatre even in pouring rain. The Telegraph Museum in Porthcurnomis fascinating and the open top bus trip around the whole Lands End peninsula was spectacular and just £10 for the whole day, a real bargain when you consider parking costs and the hassle of finding somewhere at this time of year.

Would Recommend: Yes

We received a very warm welcome from Rachel with tea and home made brownies.The bedrooms were very comfortable and it was nice to have a sitting room to share with the friends staying with us. Rachel were very helpful with their recommendations for meals out etc. we would highly recommend Castallack Farm.

We saw King Lear at the Minack theatre which we all enjoyed enormously. We also visited St Michaels Mount, St Ives and Lands End. We had excellent meals at the Goldolphin in Marazion, the Porthminster Beach Cafe and 2 Fore Street, Mousehole. All in all we had a wonderful couple of days
