About this property
Portreath 7 miles. Surrounded by glorious Cornish countryside, is Polgear View, a stylish barn conversion, with long panoramic views across fields. Not far to the coast with Portreath on the North coast just 7 miles This stone built, detached cottage has been lovingly refurbished by the owners to create a brilliant romantic retreat. With all the modern comforts you could wish for this is a perfect choice for couples seeking a peaceful refuge to unwind and relax. Inside the stone built barn is a large open plan sitting room with dining area under a lofty beamed ceiling, adjoining a smart kitchen. Curl up on the comfy corner sofa with a good book in front of the warming woodburner stove. To one end there's space to work, and a secret cloakroom and toilet. On the first floor, there is one beautiful bedroom with a super king size bed and a smart ensuite shower room. Outside relax in the garden over dinner for two whilst marvelling at the Cornish sunsets. Ideally situated for exploring all parts of Cornwall, within a short drive are the beautiful sandy beaches and dramatic cliffs of the north coast and the meandering creeks and tidal moorings of the Roseland Peninsula. For those who love the outdoors, this is an excellent destination. Walkers and naturalists will love the scenic footpaths along the creeks and inlets of the Truro and Falmouth rivers. The National Trust owned woodland park at Trelissick and the sub-tropical gardens at Glendurgan and Trebah, are well worth a visit, not to mention The Eden Project, Cornwall's spectacular global garden. A beautiful retreat in perfect Cornish surroundings.
Redruth is a small town in Cornwall, dating in parts from the 12th century. It was once the centre of Cornish mining history and is now at the heart of a unesco World Heritage Site. There is a selection of shops, pubs and eateries, and the town holds a variety of continental markets throughout the year. Attractions close to Redruth include the Carn Brea Trail, The Great Flat Load, which is fantastic for cyclist and dog walkers alike, Tolgus Tin Stream Works, and the Tehidy Country Park. The beach at Portreath is a 10 minute drive, or 2.5 miles from Redruth. The entire stunning North coast is a suburb playground for surfing and all watersports, with resorts such as St Ives, Falmouth, the Roseland Peninsula and the whole Lizard Peninsula within easy reach. A superb destination for your Cornish holiday.

Amelia
Had the most wonderful week back down in Cornwall even though the weather wasnât great we had the log fire on and still enjoyed our time. Cottage has everything you need with a super comfy king sized bed. Owners are super lovely too, had a couple chats with them and was gifted a birthday present and a going home package on the car in the morning! Shall definitely be back at some point. Added bonus was seeing the dogs daily too, my partner and I shall miss their little faces! :) Thank you for a wonderful stay with many memories!

! A beautiful barn conversion. Very well equipped, with lots of space, and the owners will make you truly welcome. However, do heed the warning about not booking this property if your car has low ground clearance. The last 1/4mile to the property makes for a memorable drive! However itâs perfectly possible in a car with average ground clearance, and by the end of your stay youâll think nothing of it.

Great central location for the adventures we had planned and easy enough to get around. Lovely property and detailing. Owners were lovely and sent us a message prior to arrival and left goodies for arrival and goodies for departure which was very thoughtful. While the track wasn't ideal we were aware of the track leading to the property at the point of booking due to information on the site and previous reviews so it wasn't shock to us.
