Tucked away in the little hamlet of St Mewan, near St Austell, Poltarrow Farm is approached along a tree-lined drive and surrounded by beautiful rolling Cornish countryside.
Our six individually furnished self-catering holiday cottages have been lovingly converted from traditional farm buildings and are arranged around an attractive courtyard. Each has its own character, with comfortable furnishings and everything you need to feel at home.
The fully equipped kitchens make family meals easy, whether you're preparing a leisurely breakfast or cooking supper after a day exploring Cornwall. And if you fancy eating out, there are excellent local pubs and restaurants nearby. We're always happy to recommend our favourites.
Families are very welcome at Poltarrow, and we've tried to make travelling with little ones as easy as possible. We can provide wooden cots, highchairs, stairgates, booster seats, bed guards and other useful baby equipment, so there's less for you to pack.
Four of our cottages, Stag, Sika, Red Deer and Deer Park, are single-storey, with Sika and Red Deer particularly suited to guests with reduced mobility. We're always happy to discuss individual accessibility requirements before booking, to help guests choose accommodation that meets their needs.
There's plenty to keep children entertained at Poltarrow, both indoors and out. Younger guests can help feed the farm animals, follow our farm trail, visit the ducks and enjoy a spot of fun fishing at the lake.
Closer to the cottages, our enclosed outdoor play area has swings, a slide, a sandpit and ride-on toys. Little ones also have their own indoor Soft Play Room, while older children and adults can enjoy games and activities in the Sports Barn.
Our 10 x 4 metre indoor swimming pool is heated to a lovely 30°C when open, providing a favourite activity whatever the Cornish weather brings. The pool operates seasonally from Easter, with additional opening periods during Christmas, New Year and February Half Term.
If you can tear yourselves away from the farm, there's so much of Cornwall to discover. Poltarrow's central location makes it a wonderful base for exploring both the north and south coasts, from sheltered sandy coves and picturesque fishing villages to sweeping beaches and dramatic coastal walks.
The Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan are both within easy reach, along with historic houses, beautiful gardens, galleries and some excellent places to eat.
Whether you're planning days out with the family, exploring Cornwall's coast and countryside or simply enjoying a slower pace of life, you'll find plenty to discover nearby.
Set within 70 acres of beautiful Cornish countryside, Poltarrow Farm offers plenty of space to relax, explore and enjoy the outdoors. Wander along our farm trail, discover peaceful woodland and enjoy the lakes and surrounding farmland.
With the freedom to explore the grounds, children can enjoy a proper countryside holiday, while adults can take in the views, listen to the birdsong or simply find a quiet spot to sit and unwind.
It's a peaceful setting in which to enjoy time together, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
A little about us
Poltarrow Farm has been in the Nancarrow family since 1982, when Judith and Peter bought the farm and made it their home.
Over the years, the traditional farm buildings have been carefully converted into six holiday cottages, and the family have now been welcoming guests to Poltarrow for more than 30 years.
Today, three generations of the family are involved in life on the farm, with Judith and Peter still very much at the heart of things.
We're proud that so many guests return year after year, often bringing children and grandchildren to share the Poltarrow experience. For us, that's one of the loveliest parts of running the cottages.
We hope you'll feel just as much at home here as we do.
