Guests say

Polurrian House in Cornwall is a well-received holiday cottage, praised for its cleanliness, stunning location, and excellent facilities. Guests enjoyed the spacious accommodation, beautiful beaches nearby, and the added luxury of a hot tub. While some minor maintenance issues and neighbourly disputes were mentioned, the overall experience was highly recommended for a peaceful and comfortable stay.

The property consistently received high praise for its cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it was spotless and cleaned to a very high standard.

The location was described as stunning, with beautiful local beaches and a peaceful rural setting. However, some guests noted it was remote with limited walks, pubs, and shops nearby.

Guests found the beds comfortable and the house spacious, though a few mentioned the beds could be improved with toppers and that some single beds were not suitable for adults.

Facilities were generally well-regarded, including a well-stocked kitchen and a hot tub. Some maintenance issues like sticking doors and a need for cobweb clearing were mentioned, as well as garden fencing concerns for pets.

While guests appreciated welcome gifts and the provision of ample car spaces, there were not enough references to consistent thoughtful touches across reviews to provide a score. It should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed.

About this property

Mullion 2.7 miles. Polurrian House is a magnificent redevelopment of an attached old barn set in a brilliant location within a cluster of other barn conversions, at the end of a no through road just over a mile from the spectacular National Trust beach at Poldhu Cove as well as the charming village of Mullion. The stunning Kynance Cove and the rest of the exceptional Lizard Peninsula are on your doorstep ready to explore. In its incredible location close to the south-west Cornwall coast with views down a rolling valley towards the sea, this magnificent conversion of a former barn offers guests a very stylish and beautifully presented retreat. Polurrian House retains many of its original features which blend seamlessly with contemporary additions including a ground source heat pump and solar panels. Set out in reverse style, the living space is on the first floor to take advantage of the valley views. The open plan living room and kitchen with beamed ceilings have a wood burning stove and access to the garden via a small balcony and external stairs. Two of the ground floor bedrooms have French-windows opening onto the private garden and hot tub. There are four bedrooms in total with 3 bathrooms. The quality finish continues in the solid oak fitted kitchen which has granite work surfaces and Neff appliances throughout. Polurrian House has its own fenced garden with outdoor dining area and a separate lounge set with coffee table. There is a hot tub and BBQ for guests to enjoy and a lawned area with stunning countryside views out across the Mullion valley towards the sea at Poldhu Cove. From a central parking area at the entrance to the Barns there is easy access via smooth concrete paths, Polurrian House has an allocated parking space (No 3) in addition to a garage. There are 4 beaches within a few miles, Poldhu Cove with café (and Marconi Centre), isolated Polurrian Cove, Church Cove at Gunwalloe (with a National Trust Car Park) and the towering cliffs of Mullion Cove with its fishing harbour. The South-West Coastal Path offers visitors the chance to explore the beautiful surrounding cliff scenery and access the miles of sand at Loe Bar at the bottom of the Penrose National Trust parkland. For the golfing enthusiast Mullion Golf Club, situated on the cliffs overlooking the cove is half a mile away. Mullion Village itself boasts a number of quality pubs, cafes and restaurants. The Lizard, England’s most southern point is renowned for its beauty and spectacular landscapes with the area designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

    We read about the neighbours being problematic but never expected to be verbally abused within 10 minutes of arriving at the location. I have a stoma which can be a struggle to lift awkward things and paying the amount we did parking to unload of the car in-front of the property was the sensible thing to do and safe for me due to the medical condition. About 5 minutes later the owners of the house at the end arrived back on bikes and just laid in to us, passive aggressive comments, snide, nasty and abusive. To the point of taking pictures of our car parked near the house we rented not blocking anyone. The second day the were difficult with our guests about parking and then difficult with another group staying at another one of the properties. I highly rate the property and location but would sadly never recommend anyone to stay as the very angry resentful neighbours will ruin it.

    The accommodation was comfortable and the house was very well equipped. We particularly liked the Neff ovens and large american style Neff fridge/freezer. The parking situation was far better than some of the previous reviews had suggested. We parked 3 cars and there was still space in the visitor parking area. We loved the hot tub which had stunning views. We had one maintenance issue, a blocked shower drain which was quickly resolved.
