Welcome pack. ¾-acre lawned garden with garden furniture and barbecues (shared with other property on-site). Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. These two single-storey barns (refs 29635 and 29636) have been converted from an old grain mill and stores. Cosy and warm in the winter and cool and airy in the summer (we run on solar power when the Cornish sun shines), they provide a well-equipped home. Alongside an array of entertainment options is a sunny south-facing garden, with a hideaway den with day bed. With no light pollution, there’s ample opportunity for star-gazing the dark skies.
Little Polgrain Barns are in the heart of the Roseland Peninsula, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A walker’s paradise with flower-filled lanes giving way to coastal scenery. A short stroll brings you to the hamlet of Portholland, a cove with a history of smuggling. The pubs at St Ewe and Tregony are dog-friendly, within a few miles’ radius. Unspoilt beaches, ancient fishing harbours, tiny art galleries, seaside cafes and pubs make this a place with something for everyone. The cafe in nearby Portscatho offers feast nights throughout the summer. Kayaking, horse riding, cycling and sailing are all available closeby.
This area of Cornwall is renowned for its sub-tropical gardens. Caerhays Castle has featured on numerous TV and is surrounded by acres of camellias and magnolias. Many of the plants were originally shipped from China in the 19th century. The Lost Gardens of Heligan is a short drive away, where you can spend all day wandering walled gardens, jungle valley and watching the heritage breeds at the South West’s first Rare Breed Farm Park. The Eden Project is nearby, famous biomes nestle in a reclaimed china clay pit. alongside a huge indoor rainforest, full of exotic planting, waterfalls and treetop walkways. It’s an ecological hub, with themed seasonal events and provides a spectacular setting for their regular music festival, the Eden Sessions. Charlestown, a regular location for ’Poldark’, is a few miles away in St Austell, with shipwreck centre and offers trips on its famous tall ships.
Further afield but easily reached by car or train, the North Coast offers great days out for surfing and visiting the Padstow, Watergate Bay and St Ives. Beach ¾ mile. Shop, pub and restaurant 4 miles.

Caerhays cottage
Very comfortable cottage in a beautiful location, and a short walk to the beach. Our check in went smoothly and our contact, Nicky, was very responsive. The cottage is very well equipped, and very comfortable, with great beds and a well stocked kitchen. There was even a bottle of bubbly in the fridge! The area is relatively remote, but you can walk to the beach at Port Holland, which has a little cafe, and follow the coastal path to Caerhays, where there is a larger cafe.
And be prepared for driving along very narrow roads.
All in all, a lovely stay in great accommodation. Highly recommended.

A lovely, peaceful getaway
This is a beautiful, spacious property in the lovely Cornish countryside. All around are rolling hills and farmland, so it’s easy to relax here. The property is comfortable and spacious, with a huge garden. Portholland beach is a 20 minute walk, and the property is in a good location for visiting other attractions such as Heligan, Charlestown and Mevagissey. A really lovely holiday, thank you Nikki.
