“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.

Mr Harwood 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!!

Mr Pollitt 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 !!

“We loved the place.”

Super quiet and surround by vibrant nature, exactly what we needed. The hosts were very friendly and easy to engage with, while giving us more than enough privacy to enjoy our vacation. The place is gorgeous. I'm planning to go back at some point.

- Mrs Pereira, August 2020
Mrs Knight August 2020

“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!

- Mrs Knight, August 2020
Mrs Robinson 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. Everything is provided for ease of home cooking as well. Having the pool is an added bonus. The hosts, Mike and Louise are most helpful, should you have any questions. Thank you for allowing our stay in these unprecedented times.

Miss Robinson 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!

- Miss Robinson, September 2019
Mr Jones 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!

- Mr Jones, May 2019
Mr Karmelita March 2019

“Polly's Bower - Beautiful cottage, inside and out”

This is the second time we have stayed at Polly's Bower having enjoyed our stay last year so much. The standard of the accommodation is excellent, fully equipped kitchen, beautiful views, and a lovely fire for when the weather turns! (A basket of logs are provided to start you off). We stayed last year and this year with our daughter; both high chair and travel cot are available although we brought our own travel cot. The welcome basket is a lovely addition and makes it that extra bit special. Thank you Louise!

“Short stay”

My husband and I stayed here at short notice with our dog and were made to feel very welcome. Pollys Bower is a gorgeous cottage set in beautiful, peaceful surroundings with everything you could want for a romantic getaway.

Mrs Downing 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, Polly’s 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, DVD’s and board games for cosy nights in.

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

Romantics can enjoy candlelit suppers 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 and highly rated local ‘The Rod and Line’ pub or Heskyn Mill restaurant, return to your sweet cottage and cosset yourself in luxury.
