Polsue Farm House

Polsue Farm House has been thoughtfully and meticulously renovated into a deluxe holiday haven, faultlessly blending rustic country charm with modern and eco-conscious details. Step through the entrance hall into a grand, light-filled atrium, running the length of the house and connecting the ground-floor living spaces with the four first-floor bedrooms. Children will delight in the snug, with its board games, books, and DVDs, as well as the table football game in the atrium. Meanwhile, the plush living room is a cosy sanctuary, boasting luxe velvet sofas and a glass-fronted woodburner within the beautiful fireplace. It's the perfect spot to hunker down and unwind in.

At the far end of the atrium is the open-plan kitchen-diner and orangery. The first-rate Wolf range cooker and large island make the impressively equipped kitchen a chef's dream, ideal for preparing produce from the nearby Pendower Farm Shop. You could also elevate your stay with a private chef for celebratory, stress-free meals, bookable via your guest account. The triple-aspect orangery features bifold doors to extend the space outside for alfresco living, as well as a woodburner for cosying up and idling during the cooler months.

Ascend the private stairs from the atrium to the master bedroom suite. Amply sized and luxuriously finished, it features a vaulted ceiling, dressing room, en-suite, and a Juliet balcony with views across the landscape - a soul-nourishing way to start your day. The second atrium staircase ascends to a landing and the other three inviting double bedrooms, two of which feature en-suites. The ample and refined family bathroom, located off the landing, is the ideal place to unwind in a hot bath after the day's escapades.

The orangery opens out to the large east-facing terrace, perched above the lush garden and looking out to the green countryside beyond. Comfortable outdoor seating and a dining table are provided for outdoor living, while a gas barbecue, table tennis, and the Finnish throwing game Mölkky are available during the warmer months (April-October). The verdant country-style grounds are well-maintained yet relaxed, with naturalistic planting and rewilded areas. Seating is dotted about to cherish the beautiful views and pockets of serenity.

Polsue Farm House’s quiet rural location belies its proximity to many of Cornwall’s finest amenities and attractions. The fascinating Lost Gardens of Heligan and Caerhays’ beautiful springtime garden are both within a 10-minute drive of your holiday doorstep, while the world-renowned Eden Project is around a 30-minute drive away. The National Trust’s Trelissick Estate, hugely popular with local families, is a skip across the River Fal on the famed King Harry Ferry.

Nearby picturesque coastal villages are a food lover’s delight with a selection of some of Cornwall’s finest eateries. Enjoy hearty harbourside fish & chips from The Sharksfin in Mevagissey, or indulge in locally-caught seafood at Spring Tide, overlooking the World Heritage harbour in Charlestown. Portscatho - a favourite of Polsue Farm House’s owner - boasts the excellent Standard Inn and the celebrated Hidden Hut, perched above Porthcurnick beach. St Mawes’ Tresanton showcases a spectacular seasonal menu, while the award-winning Da Bara bakery has a delectable selection of artisan breads and pastries perfect for savouring back at your holiday home.

South Coast Cornwall is renowned for its calm, clear seas and an array of beautiful secluded beaches dotted along the coastline. Porthluney Bay, Pendower and Vault are all only a short drive away, not to mention a stunning stretch of the South West Coast Path. The sheltered waters of the Roseland Peninsula are perfect for watersports, with Rosleand Paddle & Sail offering taster sessions, courses and hire for kayaking, SUPboarding, windsurfing and sailing.

When the weather is misbehaving, the cathedral city of Truro is a 30-minute drive away, while the bustling town of Falmouth is a ferry trip across the River Fal from St Mawes. Truro’s Cornwall Museum & Art Gallery houses collections steeped in Cornish history and the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth showcases the county’s rich maritime history, with both providing hands-on interactive activities for children.
