The village of Polgooth, with its past deeply steeped in tin mine, is today a peaceful community on the outskirts of St. Austell that is frequented by tourists who are enjoying the region's breath-taking landscape. The community is about three miles from the ocean and is near to several beautiful beaches. The south-west coastal route also passes through the area. There are many tourist attractions in the vicinity, including the Tall Ships Harbour at Charlestown, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, and the Eden Project, all of which are accessible by car in under 15 minutes. Only 5 miles separate the picturesque Roseland Peninsula with the villages of St. Mawes and St. Just-in-Roseland from the charming fishing harbour at Mevagissey, which has a passenger ferry across the bay to Fowey. Spend a day at the beach, take a stroll along the coast, or check out one of the many nearby attractions. Any time of the year, a great site.

It is very clean, tidy and well presented. Dog friendly and received a welcome gift for our dog with treats, a toy, blanket and dog bowl. Very spacious with lovely hot running water and we were able to sit and enjoy a spot of food at the table together and watch a movie later on in the evening on the TV. We sat in the evening outside on the deckchairs one evening on the decking area as it is so beautiful where they are placed. Definitely worth the stay and we will be booking again next year.
