“Polly's Bower was an exceptional rental.”

It is a beautiful space to spend time in and is situated really well to explore a gorgeous part of the country. More than that, the hosts really have thought of everything and the many small touches were the icing on an already lovely cake. The best thought through place we have ever stayed.

- Stephen, October 2023

Katie June 2023

“Wow! Polly’s Bower is a slice of Cornish heaven.”

The cottage is beautiful and the views are stunning. The location was perfect for exploring Cornwall. The hosts were really lovely and the little touches (such as a hamper of Cornish treats and home pressed apple juice) were thoughtful and made the trip even better. The pool was a real treat and easy to organise. Don’t hesitate to book Polly’s Bower for a beautiful Cornish base.

“Our second visit and definitely not our last.”

Amazing cottage in beautiful countryside close to the coast. The owners always go the extra mile for their guests and their four legged companions. We honestly cannot fault Polly's Bower and would happily stay here again and again

Janet September 2022

“Polly’s Bower is by far the best cottage we have ever stayed in!”

Louise & Mike have thought of everything you could ever need while on holiday. The welcome basket & scones was a lovely touch as was the Prosecco chilling in the fridge when we arrived. The furnishings were lovely and everything was spotlessly clean. The cottage is set in a beautiful area with lots of stunning walks close by. The cherry on the cake was the heated swimming pool which we enjoyed almost daily…….even at the end of September! To sum up we could not recommend Polly’s Bower highly enough and it’s definitely 5* from us.

Donna July 2022

“A beautiful cottage, in a stunning, peaceful location.”

The views and your every need provided for in this superb, tastefully decorated property, with the added bonus of access to a swimming pool, creates a perfect holiday experience. We have just celebrated a special anniversary there and have come away, rested, recharged and with memories to treasure. Polly’s Bower is the best self-catering property we have stayed in - and we are fussy!

- Donna, July 2022
Craig May 2022

“We both enjoyed our stay at Polly’s Bower and was a great base for us to unwind at the end of each day which we spent visiting various parts of Cornwall The property is as described and to be honest had everything we needed the house is well equipped with all possibles items you would need for your holiday.”

We mentioned this in the guest book but would like to thank Louise for the welcome pack which was more than we have ever been given in any other previous stay anywhere in Britain.

Robin March 2022

“Second time we have stayed at Polly’s Bower.”

Fantastic cottage, perfect for our dog due to the fully enclosed lawned garden. Owners very friendly and always very helpful. Would recommend this cottage very highly. Would have booked again this year but due to commitments we are unable to book. Will definitely book again next year. Many thanks to the owners for making us very welcome.

- Robin, March 2022
Brian March 2022

- Brian, March 2022
Louise December 2021

“Beautiful cottage in a quiet location.”

It’s well equipped with some really special touches giving it a feel of luxury. The log burner made it cosy and warm and the kitchen had everything we needed. Mike and Louise were helpful and pleasant but left us to ourselves. We would highly recommend this property.

- Louise, December 2021
Sarah September 2021

“Sykes met my expectations but Louise at Polly's Bower exceeded them.”

The little welcome touches were so unexpected but very welcome after a long journey (bad traffic). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the accommodation was lovely and comfortable and Louise was super helpful. Her guides to the area gave us some great walks to do with great scenery. We have no doubts recommending this place!! We can't wait to come back!!

- Sarah, September 2021

It was slightly marred by the price. I was alone so a slight reduction may have helped.

- Helen, July 2021
Caron July 2021

“We absolutely loved our stay at Polly’s Bower.”

Louise and Mike were very welcoming and friendly. Lovely goodies were left for us to enjoy, including Prosecco, a cream tea, and homemade pressed apple juice. The cottage is gorgeous as were the garden and pool. Everything was spotless and comfortable and we highly recommend Polly’s Bower.

- Caron, July 2021
Kyle June 2021

“Me, Jade and Oscar (our golden retriever) absolutely loved this holiday.”

The hosts were so friendly and helpful, with a very generous welcome pack waiting on arrival. The cottage was gorgeous with the most fabulous views. The location is also perfect, within driving distance of lovely towns and villages. It was such a peaceful and relaxing break, and just what we needed after the past 18 months!! I would definitely visit again, and recommend to others... Thanks!!

- Kyle, June 2021
David May 2021

“Polly's Bower is an excellent property and we would highly recommend it.”

We had a great holiday helped by good weather. Could I suggest that the WiFi is improved, as this was the only thing that did not work very well. The instructions were to unplug and plug back in to get it to work.........you needed to do this numerous times a day !!

- David, May 2021

“Polly’s Bower is set in a stunning location, only until you visit do you realise how beautiful it is!”

The property is just as beautiful, with added special touches and treats. We visited with two dogs, who loved roaming the big garden and we found lots of great dog days out at the beaches, rivers and lakes nearby. This place is a must if you want the perfect country retreat!

- Gemma, August 2020
Joanna July 2020

“This is a very special place.”

Lots of thought has gone into making the cottage both beautiful and practical. We found the area really interesting too and had three exceptional meals out.

Thank you for allowing our stay in these unprecedented times.

Jessica September 2019

“Pollys Bower is a wonderful place to stay!”

We have been twice now and absolutely love it! It’s great for the dog with wonderful secure garden! The bath is dreamy and down to the little details like the bath tray for wine glass and iPad and the bath cushion! It makes for a very relaxing stay! The owners are fantastic and will do everything they can to make sure you have the best stay! Cannot recommend highly enough!

- Jessica, September 2019
Callum May 2019

“Only slight issue was the WiFi was a 4G dongle.”

Which meant we were ill prepared on entertainment front (brought Apple TV to watch GoT etc). Louise was more than happy to add data though but we obviously didn’t want to waste her money. Place was stunning though, all the little touches were brilliant and we are still using the Cornish sea salt!

- Callum, May 2019

Sharon September 2018

“Polly's Bower has a definite WOW factor.”

On arrival this beautiful location was just what we needed for our relaxation. Polly's Bower is set in the most beautiful location, it is home from home so welcoming and comfortable would go so far to say luxurious. We had everything we needed to enable us to be self sufficient having taken all the produce we needed to enjoy for our weeks stay. The welcome of cream tea set out beautifully and other goodies to enjoy added the special touches that weren't expected but were delightful. Louise is a lovely person and has certainly put her stamp of luxury on this property. Highly recommended. The Rod and Line pub which is close by is amazing in the fact that they are so friendly and the pub is like stepping back in time the atmosphere and the food was lovely. Seaton which is approximately 15 minutes drive away has the most amazing beach and lovely country walks, we took a pic-nic and spent all day walking and marvelling at the scenery. Could not have found or been to a more beautiful, clean and comfortable place.

The photographs do not do Pollys bower justice , it's sheer luxury . Peaceful and quiet , stunning views of the local countryside . Everything you need is supplied from tea coffee and sugar and milk , to the toiletries , it's the little extras supplied that go a long way We would recommend this to anyone young or old Hubby has MS and the break did him wonders , just managed the stairs

The property

A little slice of heaven, Pollys Bower is a luxurious, dog-friendly retreat for couples set in beautiful rolling Cornish countryside with sensational far-reaching views and an elegant outdoor heated pool.

A unique venue, this exquisite conversion of a 300 year old apple crushing barn is situated in south-east Cornwall between the villages of Landrake and Tideford near the city of Plymouth.

It occupies a tranquil and tucked away location, amid a patchwork of fields and wooded valleys, yet is a hop from the Cornish Riviera coastline and beaches and the Tamar Valley, which is an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Detached and well-screened from the owners neighbouring farmhouse, it is nicely private and makes the perfect escape at anytime of year.

Enter the spacious open plan living room and discover a tasteful blend of the modern and the rustic.

Oak wood floors, exposed beams, modern art, soft lamps and a deep rug adds to the comfort, elegance and style.

A deep sofa and armchair adorned with coordinated cushions and throws sits beside a wood burner and there are books, DVDs and board games for cosy nights in.

The modern kitchen is well equipped with gadgets aplenty including a Nespresso coffee machine.

Romantic suppers can be enjoyed at the dining table set within an inglenook or on the south-facing patio during the warmer months and watch the sun set.

A sumptuous bed dressed with plump pillows and soft cotton bed linens awaits in the first floor bedroom.

An intimate and open plan design, a low wall separates the bed area from the bathroom area with its free-standing bath, sleek shower and a loo tucked into the corner.

Expect to relax and be pampered with White Company hand and bath towels, luxurious toiletries, cotton bathrobes and slippers.

A stable door provides access to external steps.

Convenient for explorers, you are not far from visitor hotspots at Looe, Polperro, Fowey, Cawsand and Kingsand and the long sandy beach and scenic coast path at Whitsand Bay.

Scenic walks can commence from the front door along green lanes and field paths through meadows and woods with pleasant river views.

Stop for a refreshment at the nearby pub, The Rod and Line, or Heskyn Mill restaurant, return to your sweet cottage and cosset yourself in luxury.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
