How a Stay Unfolds
Arrival
Tea and a Saffron Bun
Check-in is from 3pm. We carry the bags up the stairs and bring tea and a warm saffron bun to your room.
All Day
The Town on Foot
Porthmeor surf, the galleries and the coast path to Zennor are all within a walk. We lend maps, beach towels and windbreaks.
Departure
No Rush
Check-out is at 11, but we'll mind your bags for as long as you like and wrap a pasty for the train.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is breakfast included?
Yes, a cooked Cornish breakfast is included in every room rate, served from 8 until 10. Tell us about any allergies when you book and the kitchen will sort it.
Where can I park?
The lanes of Downalong are too narrow for parking. We hold six spaces in a private car park ten minutes' walk away (£12 a night, book ahead), or you can leave the car at St Erth and take the branch line along the bay.
Can I bring children or the dog?
Both are welcome. Cots and a fold-out bed are free in the Courtyard Doubles, and dogs can stay in three ground-floor rooms for £15 per stay. The stairs are steep and there is no lift.
From the Visitors' Book
Harriet W., Bristol
We watched the boats come in from the window seat with a pot of tea and didn't move for two hours. The kippers at breakfast were the best I've had.
Tom & Aisling, Dublin
We came for our tenth anniversary and had the Crow's Nest. Eleanor remembered, and there was a half bottle of something cold waiting by the bath.
Geoff P., Leeds
Came in February for the walking, with the dog. Boots dried by the wood burner, a towel for Bramble and a pasty for the train home. Already booked for next year.
