This was the most beautiful and picturesque cottage I have ever stayed in. My son treated me to a 3 night stay for my 50th birthday and it was just perfect. Due to current restrictions, the kitchen implements were reduced but still adequate. The farm is located in a wonderful setting and not too far away from a town with a supermarket for supplies. The neighbouring residents were all so friendly and also seemed very happy with the accommodation and the views. A definite 5* rating from me!

This was by far the best place we've self catered at, we loved everything about the cottage and farm, especially feeding the animals every morning.
Keith and Lisa were super hosts and you won't get bored with Keith's farming tales.
We'll definitely be back

Lovely place to stay and nearby beaches well worth a visit. Little ones enjoyed the experience of being on a farm and getting close to the animals. Would definitely stay again.

In these strange times we'd already had one holiday cancelled earlier in the year due to lockdown, so it was lovely to get away from it all when restrictions eased and spend a week in Cornwall and stay at Polean Farm. The cottages are as clean and sanitised as you could realistically expect - changes have been made to keep people as safe as possible, and there are lots of nice touches such as the welcome hamper with cream teas and apple drink. The owners obviously love entertaining and there is loads for kids to do, whether it's helping look after the guinea pigs, chickens and goats or rising
