Polstein Reviews

Really enjoyed our stay at Polstein, we all enjoyed the hot tub, everyone enjoyed the games room. Cottage was lovely , plenty of room for the 10 of us in the family and the dog could be let out as it was safe and enclosed. Julie was very welcoming on our arrival and some lovely treats in the hamper basket. We only had to contact Julie once with a small issue but she sorted it immediately. Location was good, lot of places to visit with just a short drive.
Rebecca
Such a great place to use as a base to explore the Cornish coastline. The weather was a bit mizzly so the hot tub was a welcome hug to come home too. Julie was a great host and was so accommodating to our requests.
Adrian
Beautiful house , well situated with everything we needed. A welcome hamper was a lovely surprise. Plenty of space and comfy beds and sofas. Games room put to good use . Friendly and helpful landlady too . A special holiday
It was a great house, with little added extras everywhere that just made things easier. There was kitchen rolls, tin foil, tea, coffee & sugar all ready to go. Every time I thought I need, I found it in the house. Once again great stay great place and facilities. Highly recommend. Something I do not do very often Thank you.
Catherine
We all had a fantastic holiday and immediately felt at home. Julie was very welcoming and friendly. She was happy to help us too. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and the games room was a real bonus on wet days. The hot tub and sauna were clean and used nearly everyday.
Kirsty
Fantastic location, Julie was lovely, we had 4 generations at the house and was well equipped for all, so quite private, would definitely stay again and would recommend to all. Thank you for such a beautiful holiday
We really enjoyed our stay at Polstein. Although situated in a quiet residential area, the house and large garden were screened by trees and were completely private. Truro was just a few minutes drive away. The house was spacious and really comfortable, and had all the facilities we could have wished for. A special mention of the games room, where we played many games of pool. There was also other equipment including an archery set, table tennis and a badminton set this were of very good quality. We had several archery games in the big garden. The house is well placed to explore Cornwall in all directions, with only a short drive north to the lovely beach and riding stables at Perranporth. There are limited opportunites for walking from the house itself, so walkers and dogwalkers would have to drive somewhere first but with the whole of Cornwall to choose from, this is no drawback! Julie was an excellent host, and responded immediately to a couple of queries we had. And thanks for the treats in the welcome hamper!
What an incredible property. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. Very central to Cornwall so we went everywhere we could. We made the most of every aspect, our children loved the huge garden and pool table and the adults loved the hot tub, sauna and also the pool table. Julie is very helpful and was amazing at taking in 2 delivered we had before we reached the property. If anything, I dont think the photos of the property actually show how incredible every aspect is. We would love to stay again
A very well presented holiday cottage with all creature comforts and well equipped all round. Ideally located for both Cornish coasts and the owners were very helpful and friendly. The kitchen was so well equipped and catered for all age groups. The garden with hot tub and the games room were a firm favourite with everyone. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday experience.
We loved our stay at Polstein, the house was extremely clean and comfortable and very well equipped with lots of thoughtful touches. The owner was very helpful and nothing was ever too much trouble. I would highly recommend this accommodation and I hope we go back ourselves one day.
We absolutely loved staying at Polstein and will be back!
Polstein had everything we wanted, and more. It was really well equipped, especially in the kitchen, and the selection of herbs, spices and cooking oils was a big bonus. The house was warm and comfortable, and the hot tub, sauna and games room made our stay extra special.
Julie was lovely, the little touches like flowers and good hamper and well stocked kitchen of tea coffee, salt pepper etc made a difference. House was beautiful and really well positioned to visit places all over Cornwall.
Just come back from a brilliant week staying at Polstein. Fresh flowers in every room and a hamper of goodies was a very pleasant surprise. Julie was very welcoming and on site should we have needed anything. House was amazing had everything and more than we expected. We spent most of our week just enjoying the facilities at Polstein especially the games room, garden games and hot tub. Spent real quality time together as a family. Would definitely recommend Polstein and we hope to go back again soon.
We've just spent a wonderful week at Polstein and would thoroughly recommend it for families. The house is very spacious yet cosy and is excellently equipped. The sauna, hot tub and games room are a wonderful bonus for young and old. The is also well placed for visiting the beaches on the North and South Coast. Julie, the owner, made us feel very welcome on arrival with scones, cream and all sorts of goodies. There were also beautiful flowers in many of the rooms. She is also on hand should you need anything and nothing is too much trouble.
Rachel
A huge thank you to our host Julie, she went beyond any expectations, very friendly and approachable. The house was beautiful, well equipped and it made a week with 6 adults and 4 children so much easier and comfortable. Thank you so much fro. A very happy Harrap, Brightmore, Rodgers family
Beautifully presented home, very comfortable with everything provided. Would highly recommend.

Rebecca
Weve had a fantastic time at Polstein. Really cannot fault the house. Beautifully presented, very clean and the views from the hot tub are amazing.
Great location for visiting all areas of Cornwall. This old house is comfortable, clean and provides plenty of space of a large group, with all the facilities you would hope for. The pool table, hot tub and sauna were well used on an evening. Good local amenities are within walking distance through neighbouring streets. It provided an excellent base for our holiday.
Lorraine
The house was beautiful, very clean and extremely well equipped. The owner was on hand for any queries and nothing was too much trouble.
We are just travelling back from an amazing 4 night family stay at Polstein for New Year. The pub in the Village is within walking distance and food is really good. There is also a coop for your shopping essentials. The location of the cottage is perfect for exploring the local area. The cottage itself exceeded our expectations, everything was thought about. The rooms were perfectly presented, so bright and decorated so homely. The large lounge area was a comfortable area to chill out in an evening. We spent a large amount of time in the kitchen diner and garden room, the view over the Cornish countryside is breathtaking. The dog friend garden was great for our 2 family dogs to wonder around and the games room kept the teenagers entertained. My 5 year old niece wanted to live there for ever and loved her sleep in the bunk beds. This cottage made our family New Year the perfect break and would highly recommend a stay here. Thank you cannot wait to return
Christine
House was lovely. All rooms were light and airy, comfortable and a real home away from home. The house came with lovely fresh bedding, towels, condiments, lots of crockery and cooking utensils and a huge hamper and fresh flowers around the house. The house has everything you needed to keep everyone happy, a large supply of books and games for all ages. A lovely garden with comfy garden sofas and a sauna. A pleasure to spend a weekend here. We were sorry to leave.
Hayley
Beautiful cottage, well equipped and in a great location. Ed and Julie had thought of everything and we really appreciated the extra special touch tasty hamper on arrival, fresh flowers in the bedrooms and toiletries in all the bathrooms. Had a great family night in the games room and a lovely barbecue on the lawn.
