FEATURES AT A GLANCE
Our review of Poltarrow Farm
ACCOMMODATION AND PRICES
The beautiful farm cottages at Poltarrow are all located together set around an open courtyard with gardens, which is great if families wish to holiday together. The cottages are surrounded by beautiful countryside of fields woods and a lake. The cottages are furnished to a high standard and have everything you would need from home to home. They each have central heating and a log burner which makes them a lovely stay all year round.
The cottages range from 2- 6 persons plus a cot and for a family of 2 adults and 2 children prices start from around £1500 for a week in the summer holidays. This drops to as little as about £700 off season.
CHILD FRIENDLY HOLIDAY FEATURES
Poltarrow has plenty to keep the children busy on their holiday. A daily swim in the wonderful indoor heated pool is a must; the pool is kept at 30 degrees making it perfect for children including young babies.
For the older children there is a heated indoor sports hall with pool table, a net for short tennis, badminton and table tennis. Under 5s will enjoy the fantastic ‘tumble room’, with soft building blocks, tunnels and slides – perfect for a wet day when the children need to let off some steam. For those children (and parents!) who enjoy to fish there’s a fishing lake on site – enjoy a relaxing day of fishing from the side of the lake or from Jubilee the rowing boat.
Set on a farm, there are animals at Poltarrow for the children to feed each morning including lambs, ducks, chickens and rabbits and there is even the chance to ride one of the farm ponies. What better way for the children to start their day!
If this isn’t enough, Poltarrow has 45 acres of land for the children to explore including a farm trail which takes you past the pond of ducks and through the woodland and out across the fields.
PARENT FRIENDLY HOLIDAY FEATURES
Poltarrow has plenty on offer for parents too. Each cottage comes with its own log burner – perfect background for a cosy glass of wine at the end of the day.
Each cottage comes fully equipped with all that is needed for the children, taking the stress out of packing for your holiday. They have even thought of stair gates and black out blinds- one less thing to worry about. Also at no extra charge there are pushchairs and back carriers available to borrow.
There’s complimentary WiFi and some of the cottages are also pet friendly ensuring you can take the whole family with you! Two electric vehicle charging points are available for the use of guests.
IN SUMMARY…
Poltarrow is somewhere the Parent Friendly Stays clan would love to visit. Set in beautiful Cornwall it’s an ideal location with plenty of beaches and beautiful towns to visit, and the pricing is reasonable given the quality of the cottages and facilities on offer. Another fantastic holiday destination for our ‘to do’ list!

Ideally located in Mid Cornwall, close to the Eden Project, Heligan Gardens and beautiful beaches and gardens.”
