Poltarrow Farm

Our family has stayed here every summer for years and we have always had a great time. The 6 cottages are all very well furnished and equipped. The heated indoor swimming pool is kept at a good temperature and even I can get in without  flinching! Our granddaughter loves the animal feeding with Kate and even the adults learn a lot. The games hall gives us all exercise and is great for rainy days. The farm is convenient for getting onto the main St Austell/ Truro road and does not involve negotiating miles of narrow lanes but quiet with lovely views. There are 2 electric charging points so easy to charge EVs. Best of all is the friendly but never intrusive welcome and information if you want/ need it.

No need to look anywhere else than Poltharrow when considering a quiet, away from it all cottage holiday.
This family get it- they really do. Luxury for adults, plenty to do for children, all with subtle safety in mind.
A great central place for visiting the sights of Cornwall.

We had such a wonderful time staying at Poltarrow Farm. We stayed in Red Deer and honestly couldn't recommend it enough. Our 2 year old son had the time of his life, the facilities were perfect for his age and he's still talking about "Farmer Kate" and feeding the animals. There are only 6 cottages so although you saw other people it never felt busy. The site is beautifully laid out but not huge which was perfect for me being pregnant with a toddler. Saying that there was a farm trail you could do if you did want a longer walk.

The family are all very friendly and work tirelessly to maintain everything to a really high standard. We have stayed in other self catering holiday homes but they really do think of everything here which made life so much easier with a little one and travelling a long way. The welcome hamper was amazing and such a lovely touch

Thankyou all at Poltarrow for a lovely holiday! 

This place is beginning to feel like a second home! We were 4 adults plus 2 children (7 and 10) and fitted nicely into Roebuck. This year, with the kids being older we made good use of the on site sports hall, and the swimming pool. Our 7 year old again enjoyed the daily animal feeding. Judith and Kate were as welcoming and helpful as usual. Thank-you Poltarrow!

We were three generations, grandparents, parents and three children aged 6,5 and 4 months staying at Roebuck for one very wet and windy week at the end of July. We could not have chosen a better place to be. 
The indoor pool was always quiet and beautifully warm, the sports barn large enough for football and the perfect place for badminton, table tennis , snooker and cartwheels. When we did face the outdoors the small play area was a great success with scooters. Kate's almost daily animal feeding session lasted often over an hour while she patiently facilitated feeding, egg collecting, grooming, and cuddling the guinea pigs. When it was really wet she moved the activity into the barn so nobody missed out. She is a delight.
We arrived to a cream tea and the most generous hospitality; everything one could need for breakfast. The cottage was to a very high standard and everything reflected the very generous and thoughtful spirit of the family who own and run the farm. 
We would return and hopefully explore more of the lovely beaches close by. 
And perhaps get to sit out on the little balcony with the stunning views, or use the private patio with barbeque next time!

I almost didn't want to write this review because if it gets too popular we won't be able to book again but I can't do that to Poltarrow after such a wonderful week there. We have stayed in lots of high quality self-catering cottages all over the UK but Poltarrow is definitely the best, especially for families. We stayed in Fallow with our two kids age 3 and 8. It was spacious, spotlessly clean and well-equipped. It was also beautifully furnished and the sofas and beds were extremely comfortable. The farm itself is just wonderful. Our kids loved the swimming pool and the 'one family at a time' arrangement meant we had it to ourselves. We appreciated there not being a rota or sign up slots as it meant we could all be flexible and all the families on the site were respectful of each other's time. Our little one loved the soft play room but the absolute highlight was the animal feeding every morning with Kate, who was so friendly and great with the kids. We also loved playing with the guinea pigs. Instead of being upset by bad weather it meant an afternoon of swimming, playing and cuddles with Caramel the guinea pig.

The welcome pack was appreciated with  generous amount supplied, and there are lots of supermarkets nearby.

The location is fabulous. A short drive from the Lost Gardens of Helligan which makes the weekly pass worthwhile, and close to fantastic beaches on both the north and south coasts. Our favourite was Porthcurnick.

We were all sorry to leave and hope to come back in the future.

Our family of 4 stayed at Poltarrow in the last week of July. What a find!! Clean, tidy accommodation with everything you might need for a week away. The facilities are brilliant for families with children of all ages. Our kids loved the pool, sports hall, boating lake and animal feeding. Younger kids have a soft play room and outdoor playground with ride on toys too. 
Location is perfect for days out on the North and South coast of Cornwall. Having older kids we did lots of adventurous activities located nearby  and lots of eating out. Definitely 5 stars from us.

We had such a wonderful holiday at Poltarrow Farm. Excellent facilities, perfect for our 21month old, soft play, pool and outdoor play. Every morning we could feed the farm animals. The location is perfect, most things are within a 20min drive - Eden project, Heligan, Mevagissey etc. Even though it’s perfectly set up for children, it would still be great for couples as it’s a quiet farm. We stayed in Sika cottage which was all on one level, so better for small children. It was lovely. A fridge full of food was waiting for us - milk, scones, bacon, sausages, eggs and more!! We would definitely come back! Honestly one of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed!

Stayed for a week during Feb 2022, with our children and grandchildren. We stayed in 3 of the cottages, all were furnished and decorated to a very high standard.
The location is fantastic, amidst acres of farmland and ideally placed to explore the local area.
On site amenities are excellent, grandchildren loved the heated swimming pool and the large sports/games room.
Owners were really friendly and helpful. Grandchildren enjoyed helping Kate feed some of the farm animals in the morning.
A great place to stay and we are already planning a return visit next year.
Thanks Judith, Kate and family for helping make our family holiday such a special occasion.

We stayed in Deer Park for 2 weeks.  On arrival the cottage was spotless and very welcoming.  An excellent welcome pack was much enjoyed.   The cottage had everything needed for a comfortable self catering holiday, with lovely views over the surrounding countryside.   The rest of the facilities were also immaculate, the sports hall and the children's play areas'.  The pool was very clean and warm.  We think this is the best self catering cottage we have had, and we have had many over the years.       We can highly recommend Poltarrow Farm

Lovely Family Holiday 

We keep coming back!

A welcome and week we will remember.

Wonderful family holiday

Wonderful accommodation and facilities

Loved it!

Excellent family holiday

Superb

We have just returned from a fantastic week at Poltarrow. The cottage was spotlessly clean when we arrived and had everything we could have asked for, including highchairs, cots and bedsides for our small children, and the owners had very thoughtfully provided us with scones, bacon, sausages and apple juice, which were waiting for us upon arrival. 

The children loved the swimming pool, softplay and outdoor play area, but particularly enjoyed feeding the farm animals and the Pony ride.

The owners were very friendly, and you felt that nothing would be too much trouble, 

We loved Poltarrow farm, and hope to return in the future for another great holiday.
