About this property
Portreath 7 miles. Surrounded by glorious Cornish countryside, is Polgear View, a stylish barn conversion, with long panoramic views across fields. Not far to the coast with Portreath on the North coast just 7 miles This stone built, detached cottage has been lovingly refurbished by the owners to create a brilliant romantic retreat. With all the modern comforts you could wish for this is a perfect choice for couples seeking a peaceful refuge to unwind and relax. Inside the stone built barn is a large open plan sitting room with dining area under a lofty beamed ceiling, adjoining a smart kitchen. Curl up on the comfy corner sofa with a good book in front of the warming woodburner stove. To one end there's space to work, and a secret cloakroom and toilet. On the first floor, there is one beautiful bedroom with a super king size bed and a smart ensuite shower room. Outside relax in the garden over dinner for two whilst marvelling at the Cornish sunsets. Ideally situated for exploring all parts of Cornwall, within a short drive are the beautiful sandy beaches and dramatic cliffs of the north coast and the meandering creeks and tidal moorings of the Roseland Peninsula. For those who love the outdoors, this is an excellent destination. Walkers and naturalists will love the scenic footpaths along the creeks and inlets of the Truro and Falmouth rivers. The National Trust owned woodland park at Trelissick and the sub-tropical gardens at Glendurgan and Trebah, are well worth a visit, not to mention The Eden Project, Cornwall's spectacular global garden. A beautiful retreat in perfect Cornish surroundings.
Redruth is a small town in Cornwall, dating in parts from the 12th century. It was once the centre of Cornish mining history and is now at the heart of a unesco World Heritage Site. There is a selection of shops, pubs and eateries, and the town holds a variety of continental markets throughout the year. Attractions close to Redruth include the Carn Brea Trail, The Great Flat Load, which is fantastic for cyclist and dog walkers alike, Tolgus Tin Stream Works, and the Tehidy Country Park. The beach at Portreath is a 10 minute drive, or 2.5 miles from Redruth. The entire stunning North coast is a suburb playground for surfing and all watersports, with resorts such as St Ives, Falmouth, the Roseland Peninsula and the whole Lizard Peninsula within easy reach. A superb destination for your Cornish holiday.

The owners were lovely and had left a lovely cream tea and supplies for breakfast the following morning. Also, when we came to leave, we found some bottles of water and a box of shortbread on the car for the journey home! A lovely and considerate gesture. The bed was huge and ever so comfortable and the shower was superb, although there was nowhere to put the lower shower head if you wanted to shower without getting your hair wet. We found everything we needed in the kitchen, the air fryer was a handy inclusion there. Unfortunately Cornwall decided to throw some horrible weather our way so we didn't get to make use of the outdoor area. The bumpy drive was an annoyance, but given that you have to share it with cows being brought in and out for milking there isn't a great deal that can be done about this. Maybe some of the bigger pot-holes could be filled a bit? Also lovely grapefruit & orange hand soap in the downstairs cloakroom, we had to go out and buy some when we got home!

Had everything we needed and more. Caring owners who were on hand if needed and had left us a welcome pack and gift when we arrived. Beautiful setting and very quiet and central point for travel to other areas. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt weâd had a holiday; thank you.
