UpDown Cottage nestles in the beautiful and historic Tamar Valley one of the hidden treasures of Cornwall. We are also proud of being part of the World Heritage Site. On the East we have the extensive Dartmoor National Park to the West Bodmin Moor the heart of Cornwall to the North a dramatic unspoiled coastline of Cornwall and Devon and then the beautiful South Cornwall Heritage Coast. Our location is an ideal touring base for so many places which means our guests return to see more and more of the area each visit! On your arrival, enjoy a tasty Cream Tea with price winning home-made scones, provided free for our guests staying two or more nights. Then after a good night’s sleep and before you set off for the day, tuck into a very special breakfast one which will set you up for the day. Our breakfast menu is tempting, imaginative and varied with a wide selection of tasty freshly cooked options. We aim to provide our guests with all of the comforts you would expect in a modern home and all the character of a traditional old cottage. We will let you decide if it is old or new. As seasoned travellers we think we understand what our guests expect and look for whilst travelling away from home. It is important that our guests are happy and comfortable during their stay whether it is for business, family occasions or simply a holiday. Check out our website, give as a call or send us an e-mail to discuss your requirements; we look forward to hearing from you.

My husband and I were delighted to have stayed at the UpDown Cottage. Our hosts, Caroline and Peter, made us feel welcome and taken care of exceedingly. We shall keep the best remembrance of superb breakfasts , the most agreeable atmosphere and the veritable sound of silence at night. The knowledge of UpDown Cottage we'll share with our friends.

Updown Cottage lives up to its charming name - Peter and Caroline have built their own Cornish cottage, beamed and cosy like a traditional cottage but with the added modern advantages of space and light - not to mention ensuite bathrooms. We stayed in the downstairs room because we liked the neutral decor and looking out on the garden. It was supremely comfortable with great beds and a terrific power shower. Extras like handwash and soap (also given to you as a gift when you leave) are provided. Nothing is too much trouble for Caroline and Peter. They obviously enjoy being hosts to their guests and it shows. We missed our cream tea so they came up with the idea of savoury cheese scones, creme fraiche and chili jam to go with our Mexican-style scrambled eggs at breakfast - original and delicious. Every breakfast was first-class, far better than all but the very best hotels, starting off with zingingly fresh fruit salad. Marmalade is home-made and the bread excellent. Because Caroline and Peter are so welcoming, you don't feel at all awkward making use of their comfortable sitting-room to read or watch television. They are there to answer questions and chat when you need them and disappear tactfully when they sense you want to be alone. Really, why does anyone ever stay in a hotel when there are wonderful B & B's like this? We found it by accident and, boy, did we land on our feet. It is very well placed for everything too, and a relief to be away from the crowds on the coast - which is easy to visit for lunch or in the evening. We had a first-class dinner on the harbour at Looe. All in all, a fantastic place for a holiday or short break. We will be back next time we visit Cornwall.

August 27, 2012
We (my wife and I) stayed here for 4 nights this August. We were welcomed by Caroline and Peter with cream tea and we loved the cosiness of the cottage and the hospitality of the owners. Our room (room 3) was quite spacious and had a small sitting area and the room was practical, nice and large (enough). Breakfast was a feast every morning! Also the other guests were very friendly and we had a lot of laughs with them. I hope Keith will still remember some of the jokes, because his age is playing him parts. ;-) We could advise UpDown Cottage to everyone!!!

We have just returned from our 3rd stay at Updown Cottage, and the wonderful welcome from Peter & Caroline, makes it a truly "home from home" experience. Cream tea on arrival, lovely rooms with all facilities, all so tastefully appointed, and the fabulous breakfasts! Peter and Caroline are great hosts and nothing is too much trouble. It is as if we are staying with good friends, and we look forward to our next visit later this year.

5 out of 5Fantastic B & B!!!
July 06, 2012
This B & B is nothing short of amazing! A lovely traditional Cornish cottage with a modern contemporary feel and a very warm welcome that made us feel at home as soon as we stepped over the threshold. The rooms are beautifully and tastefully decorated with comfortable beds and lovely shiny clean bathrooms. And as for the breakfast...... to die for!! Peter and Caroline manage to turn a normally uneventful breakfast into a gastronomic experience, we love the brulee porridge, and the extra special French toast with cream cheese and strawberries - utterly scrumptious! We will be back! Definitely the best B & B in the West!
5 out of 5Feel at home
April 23, 2012
We booked a room in advance at UpDown B&B because the website was very convincing. But when we arrived there we were really overwhelmed by Caroline's and Peter's hospitality. UpDown Cottage is a wonderful house to stay and the rooms are nicely furnished and decorated. What is really extraordinary is the delicious breakfast which is served in a welcoming atmosphere. And what we loved most was the way we were spoilt, when we were served a good morning tea half an hour before breakfast started. We enjoyed our stay very much and will recommend this lovely plae to friends and all those who like to spend their time in a relaxing surrounding.

A warm welcome in a beautiful B&B in a wonderful location. The most delicious breakfast with very generous portions. Every detail considered, including hair dryers in the rooms.
5 out of 5A warm welcome
October 24, 2011
The B&B was found through a Cornwall Tourist Information site - and what a find. A warm welcome is awaiting you in the most beautiful cottage, with the hosts Caroline & Peter. The choice of breakfast was amazing from the porridge, fresh fruit salad to the full Cornish breakfast. The location is ideal for touring the Tamar Valley with plenty of walks, National Trust properties to visit and nearby towns of Tavistock and Looe. Thank you for a wonderful stay
