About this property
Polcreek Farmhouse is a splendid typically Cornish 17th century family house, in a tranquil setting at the end of a lane, 1¼ miles from Veryan. It is very private, only the occasional farmer herding sheep passes by. This is a wonderful place for a carefree large family gathering, or group of friends. The big living room has an open fire with the original slate and the equally big dining room has a sensible slate floor, through to the farmhouse-style kitchen with breakfast table and stools; there is also a ground floor WC and, ten paces from the kitchen door, a room with shower toilet and basin ideal for sandy bodies. Head upstairs to the four bedrooms, a king-size double and three twin rooms, lovely views from up here, but mind that low lintel on the landing! Also, a family bathroom. A peaceful family-friendly place in a great position for enjoying the lovely coastline. There is a small front garden and ½ acre of mown grassy space with rustic table and chairs. Carne and Pendower beaches are a mile away (the two merge at low-tide to give a mile of sand). National Trust land surrounds the house to a mile radius. If you can drag yourself away nearby St.Mawes and Mevagissey are worth a visit, along with the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project.
Veryan is a picturesque village located on the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall. This historic village is home to the famous Round Houses built in the 19th Century and The New Inn, a traditional 16th Century Cornish Inn, which provides quality fine food and drink.

In both instances they were on level ground and the person who was in it is of below average adult weight. When we looked at the canvas we could see that the canvas was well weathered. In one case there was a fray that became a tear. I dont think we did anything other than use them reasonably. Anyway we are sorry for the damage.

We were told that the upstairs flush had a problem plus a tap that wouldn't turn off & couldn't be fixed because the stoptap wouldn't turn off not a good start to our holiday before we even got there. South west water would come whilst we were there & they did disrupting our stay, but they didn't do anything to the stop tap. There's also a notice in the bathroom saying the sink taps were delicate why not replace them with robust ones? The heating wasn't up to the job especially in the bedrooms it needs updating. In one bedroom the bedside lamp had a round pin plug so wouldn't fit the square pin socket not good enough. It's a lovely place but needs updating.

A very peaceful location and marvellous views. Proximity to the coast path and beaches a bonus. The house is so full of character and very homely. This is a Cornish farmhouse well worth a visit. Plenty of space for a large family.
