Down A Long Bed and Breakfast Near Callington, Cornwall

Down-a-Long Cottage nestles in a peaceful village amidst Cornwall's beautiful lush green countryside. Our cottage was built recently but modelled on all that we loved in Yonder Cottage (our previous home and Bed and Breakfast) which was built by the Duchy of Cornwall in the early 1800's and renovated by us two centuries later.

At Down-a-Long, we have aimed to add all the character of that quaint old Cornish cottage with the enhancements of today's luxuries to ensure your stay is really comfortable. The underfloor heating keeps our home toasty warm on cold days, in summer or really hot days the cottage is light and airy. Our home is smoke, child and pet free!!

 Why not come and relax in the peaceful countryside and enjoy our home and hospitality? We have been offering Bed and Breakfast in Cornwall for five years and we really enjoy being your hosts. We are open for guests from May until early November.
