“Simply the best holiday destination in the UK...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Having vowed I would never return to the same place twice, we're now spending our 4th holiday in a row at Pollaughan Farm. It is, quite frankly, perfect. The cottages are well designed, practical, spotlessly clean and contain everything you need plus a bit more. The location is perfectly peaceful and rural, while within easy travelling distance of a whole host of places to visit on days out. Tim and Valerie are the perfect hosts - available for any small request you may have. Or in our case, a major request such as catering for a picnic and BBQ for 26 people at our wedding last year! Our guests are still talking about how wonderful Valerie's food is and you can experience it yourself as you can order home-cooked meals to be delivered to your cottage in the evenings.
Our 4 yr old son has loved this place since he was 18 months old, especially the daily animal feed which gives harassed parents 30 minutes of peace at the start of the day!

I always begrudge writing fabulous reviews of this place as I worry it will make the place even more booked up than it already is and we'll struggle to get in... but Tim and Valerie deserve every bit of praise I can give them!! If you're looking for a self-catering holiday in the UK, you'd be mad to book anywhere else.

“Beautiful cottage in gorgeous location”

Stayed in Meadows for 5 days, and it was just perfect! beautiful setting, incredibly comfortable accommodation. own garden area to relax in in evenings, with lots of friendly animals to provide amusement. would be great for children but we just went as a couple - it was ideal as a mini-break. lots of lovely walks nearby, with pub + shop only about a mile away, tennis court on site, + everything you could possibly need in the cottage (even jacuzzi bath!). would definitely recommend for anyone who wants a relaxing, chilled out break. very friendly/helpful owners too.

“Our favourite place in the UK. Fabulous.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 March 2010

We went here for a week last June with our 4 year old son and I can honestly say it is one of the best holidays I have ever had. The accommodation is lovely, a whole house to yourself, fully equipped and with some lovely extras (log fire, toys for the kids, DVDs to watch, complete kitchen, private garden). Tim and Valerie are brilliant hosts and could not do enough and Valerie is a great cook. If you go be sure to order some meals, to have them brought to your cottage is such a treat, you can get a bottle of wine and have a night in with no cooking. The children love it too, they collect eggs in the morning, feed the animals, play on the ride on toys, jump on the trampoline and wander freely round the farm. It was so good we booked again to go this year and can't wait. I have never looked forward to a holiday in England so much. Thank You Tim and Valerie and see you in June. For those reading, if you can get in (it does get fully booked) please give it a go. This place is what real holidays are about.

“A perfect post Christmas get away”

We have now stayed at Pollaughan Meadows cottage for the last 3 years in January. We love that the cottage is easy, warm and perfectly equipped, with a wonderful, relaxing setting. Tim and Valerie are excellent hosts and nothing is ever too much trouble to ensure their guests have the perfect stay. And they are also incredibly respectful for guests privacy. The location is ideal for touring Cornwall, but also very near to St Mawes and beautiful beaches. Pollaughan for us feels like our home by the sea, and we cannot wait to return next January. Cornwall is as beautiful in the winter as the summer with the benefit of less traffic!

“absolutely fantastic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2009

We stayed here with our 2 year old son in December 2009. The accomodation was lovely, jacuzzi bath gorgeous. Lovely comfy beds & the washer & dryer was a fantastic bonus. The owners, Tim & Valerie were so hospitable & friendly. Cooked breakfast can be delivered as well as evening meals. Our 2 year old loved the morning routine of feeding the animals & collecting an egg & bringing it home for us to cook. Just had a lovely relaxing stay & cant wait to return. Beautiful location with loads to see & do around.. highly recommeded
