Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests find the cottage very clean, with only a few isolated reports of cleanliness issues such as dust and cobwebs. The majority of reviews reflect a high standard of cleanliness, hence the high score.
The location is highly praised for its easy access to main roads and proximity to attractions in Cornwall. Despite some concerns about the accuracy of the distance to local amenities, the location is generally considered excellent.
Guests find the cottage comfortable overall, but there are comments about the sofas being old and uncomfortable, and the bed being a bit small. The positive remarks about the comfort of the property outweigh the negatives, resulting in a good score.
The cottage is well-equipped according to guests, with all the necessary household facilities. Some guests missed having a dishwasher and noted minor maintenance issues, but the overall feedback on facilities is positive.
The owners' thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with special appreciation for the welcoming cream tea. While such gestures are warmly received, it is noted that these are personal touches and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

From the Cornish, meaning 'Frog Pool', Polyphant is close to the convergence of the River Inny and Penpont Water and is surrounded by miles of stunning countryside. Cornwall is a very temperate region of the UK and the beaches are very popular for surfing and other water-sports. The beaches of the north coast are just 14 miles away and also bring you into close proximity to attractions such as the world-famous Eden Project and the Victorian discovery, the Lost Gardens of Heligan. A few miles west of Polyphant, you can take in the rugged beauty of Bodmin Moor with its granite tors, walking opportunities and secluded moor-land villages. The Camel Route, a famous cycling and walking trail is just minutes from here.

There's a lovely garden and overall we had a good stay. The only slight negatives were the bed (comfortable mattress but a bit small for us) and the small saucepan seemed to have some food residue inside it. The information booklet and the dog friendly guide were both really useful - thank you for providing them!

The cream tea on arrival was a lovely gesture and very welcome after a long journey from Sussex! Lots of information on places to see including a seperate folder on dog friendly day places. Beautiful location and the view was stunning.
