This was possibly the best holiday we ever had, mostly because of the beautiful accommodation. Eleven of us stayed in two cottages, with three children, who absolutely loved it, and was perfect for the whole family! The swimming pool was fantastic, the games room great fun and the boating lake was simply beautiful! We have stayed there a number of times, in both B&B and self-catering, and we loved the welcoming feel about the whole place. We will definately be going back. As well as the stunning accommodation, there is so much to do around the location, with lovely little towns and lovely beaches, and we found a really great cycle route called the camel trail, which was brilliant for the whole family, as it is good for beginers and serious cyclists alike. We had absolutelt nothing bad to say at all about the lovely place and we will definately be going again! Thankyou so much for a lovely stay, it was the best holiday we could ever wish for!

Have stayed in all the cottages several times over the last ten years with friends and familly and we all love the place as do the visitors we've met there. If you go there like us you'll wonder how "Surrey Sally" could see things so differently!

We have just returned from a new year break at Poltarrow we had 2 cottages (Roebuck and Fallow) there were 12 of us altogether and childrens' ages range from 2-7yrs old. The cottages are fully equipped (even with washing machine and tumble dryer), very clean and comfortable. The weather was freezing and we were all very cosy and warm inside. There were so many nice touches that made such a difference to our visit, on arrival there were homemade mince pies and mulled wine, the fridge already stocked with bacon, sausages, eggs, juice, bread. Washing up liquid, washing powder, clingfilm, foil all provided even some toys for the little ones and games for us! And the floating lanterns for New Year which really made it special. The swimming pool was lovely and warm and although they were full for New Year I never saw anyone else in it. The sports hall is great too equipped with badminton, pool table and garden bowls. There are also come dvds you can take back to the cottages. We have had an excellent time here probably one of our best UK breaks.

The area is very central to a lot of great attractions obviously Eden, but some of the other places we visited were the Dairyland farm great for the kids on a cold rainy day! Mevagissey nice harbour town and lovely restuarants can recommend the Sharksfin and the Wheel house. Charlestown amazing galleon ships in the harbour then Porthpean beach, Falmouth lovely little town nice restuarants then take the ferry to St Mawes. Newquays Fistral beach worth visiting then have a cream tea in the magnificent Headland Hotel!

We have really enjoyed our stay in Cornwall, Poltarrow is an excellent base to explore as there really is so much to do especially with young children. Thanks to Judith and everyone who have really thought about their guest (and their children) needs will definately recommend to others.

Poltarrow is excellently situated for exploring Cornwall, while being quietly secluded itself. Judith couldn't have been more helpful with suggestions and directions for excursions and walks. We were made to feel completely welcome. The room was comfortable and elegant and breakfast plentiful and delicious. Everything seems to have been thought of to make your stay more enjoyable and weatherproof, from plentiful information guides, internet connection, and a fridge for B&B guests, to the pool, sports hall and play room.
