Shires Rest

About this property

Attractive reverse level Barn conversion set on a farm with daily animal feeding and farm rides.

Polean Farm is in a lovely rural location just two miles from historic Looe, with its harbour and great family beach, and only one mile from the harbour village of Polperro. In fact the River Pol borders the farm and a gentle stroll down a lane takes you to the harbour. In the wider area are Looe Monkey Sanctuary, Fowey, The Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, many undiscovered sandy coves, and beautiful coastal walking on the South West Coastal pathway. The seven cottages offer a wide range of accommodation suitable for both family and couples, and three are pet friendly. A major attraction at Polean is the safe location and the family friendly activities on offer. There are a variety of animals on site, with weekday daily feeding of orphaned lambs, chickens, guinea pigs and rabbits; as well pony or tractor barrel rides. The farm has a working livery yard and guests are welcome to visit the stables. A very well equipped outdoor activity play area with trampoline and indoor play barn with air-hockey, table football and pool will keep everyone happy at all times of the year.
