"Beautiful cottage!"
Had the most wonderful week back down in Cornwall even though the weather wasn’t great we had the log fire on and still enjoyed our time. Cottage has everything you need with a super comfy king sized bed. Owners are super lovely too, had a couple chats with them and was gifted a birthday present and a going home package on the car in the morning! Shall definitely be back at some point. Added bonus was seeing the dogs daily too, my partner and I shall miss their little faces! :) Thank you for a wonderful stay with many memories!

"Had such a wonderful stay."
Great central location for the adventures we had planned and easy enough to get around. Lovely property and detailing. Owners were lovely and sent us a message prior to arrival and left goodies for arrival and goodies for departure which was very thoughtful.
While the track wasn't ideal we were aware of the track leading to the property at the point of booking due to information on the site and previous reviews so it wasn't shock to us.

"SUPERB, or to use that lovely Cornish-ism, A PROPER JOB !"
!
A beautiful barn conversion. Very well equipped, with lots of space, and the owners will make you truly welcome.
However, do heed the warning about not booking this property if your car has low ground clearance.
The last 1/4mile to the property makes for a memorable drive! However it’s perfectly possible in a car with average ground clearance, and by the end of your stay you’ll think nothing of it.

"We really enjoyed our stay here."
Had everything you need. We arrived to find cream tea in fridge and breakfast ingredients. It was spotless. Kitchen was well equipped with every you need. Even an air fryer and Tassimo. Shower was amazing. Loved the toilet door downstairs. We have a low down car but the drive up to it was okay if we drove slowly. I would highly recommend and definitely stay again. Had a lovely pack given for drive home with water and biscuits.

"Was an absolutely lovely place to stay, location was perfectly central as you can drive to anywhere in Cornwall within a reasonable amount of time, the place was very clean, the bed was very comfortable and was even heated, the bathroom and shower was very nice!"
, my favourite feature being the comfortable sofa with wood burning furnace which makes evenings super cozy! It was also very convenient to have our own dishwahser and washing machine as the last thing you want to be dealing with on holiday is washing up and piles of dirty clothes (this was the first time I've gone home with bags packed with clean clothes!) The hosts were very friendly and left a very lovely welcome pack for a full cooked breakfast and cream tea, a starter pack for the fire and a leaving pack with water and shortbread for the journey back! Couldn't ask for more and will definitely look at going back when we find ourselves going on holiday in Cornwall again!

"Lovely converted barn in a peaceful location but be prepared for long, bumpy farm track (all part of the fun)."
The owner provided a great welcome pack and, a first in my experience, a leaving pack as well! The photos and description are accurate. Great place to explore the mining heritage sites and only 20 minutes to north coast beaches.

"Polgear View is a lovely holiday cottage."
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!

"A first rate property with attentive but not intrusive hosts."
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only negative is the long unmade track with many deep potholes. This didn’t affect us as we had a 4x4 with higher ground clearance but might affect others so maybe the most severe uneven parts of the track could be filled in.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.
We are currently awaiting delivery of materials to rectify this, but unfortunately hadn’t arrived in time for your stay.

"What can I say that hasn't already been said!"
- if only more than 5 stars were available!! A lovely, lovely cottage set in beautiful surroundings and in a great spot for visiting a lot of Cornwall. The owners, Martin and Sarah, work extremely hard to ensure that the cottage itself has everything you'd need for your stay and more besides. The whole place is extremely clean and comfortable (have to mention the bed -wow!). In the fridge were the makings of a very nice cream tea and a tasty breakfast plus fresh milk, tea and coffee - so welcome after a long drive. Private outside space has table and chairs plus a barbeque, sadly we could use neither as the weather was against us! Not cold enough to need the wood burner but logs and firelighters were provided. And lastly a thoughtful leaving present as we hit the road home. Excellent, Martin and Sarah, thank you and very best of luck with all your plans for the future. We have no doubt they will be a roaring success.

"What a great find this was, superb cottage would give more than 5 stars if we could, it has so many original features, it’s spacious, comfortable and super cozy."
My husband moans about something (usually the bed) every where we stay, but this was the exception, he found nothing to moan about and to quote “this bed is as comfortable as the one we have at home” (I won’t say how much money our bed cost us). The cottage has everything you need and some. We were touched by the welcoming ingredients we found in the fridge for a perfect breakfast and a cream tea. The location was perfect for us, we were never more than a 40 minute drive to where we wanted to visit. The hosts were on hand should you need them, but never intrusive. We were sad to leave this beautiful place, We will definitely be back next year.

"We have agreed that if we return to Cornwall there will be only one cottage we will choose and that is Polgear View."
The cottage was clean and tidy and the king size bed was about the most comfortable I have slept in. Sarah and Martin are lovely hosts. When we arrived there was the ingredients for a cooked breakfast and a cream tea. I messaged Sarah to enquire whether the sausages were gluten free as my wife is coeliac. She apologised and said they where not but she went out and bought some gf sausages and scones, which was a really kind gesture.. On the last day they left us a going away present.

"We had an amazing stay."
Although the owners were our neighbours, they cared for our privacy. However, whenever we had a question, they were always there to help us, without any problems. The owners are extremely nice people. The home was clean and enjoyable to stay in. They also set up an extra bed for my daughter to sleep in, so she has her private space. All the different places you could visit were all nearby, so the home was in a fantastic location. Overall, our stay was amazing, and I would definitely come back again in the future.

"Generally a very good experience, however it should be pointed out that this cottage is not suitable for anyone with limited mobility."
In our seventies and suffering from arthritis we found the steep narrow staircase difficult to use. This was compounded by the fact that the only WC was upstairs. The kitchen was very well equipped, though additional crockery would be useful owing to there being a dishwasher. Difficult long rutted track to the cottage with deep potholes.
Here at Polgear View we welcome and value feedback, as it's how we improve and make every visitor's stay comfortable and enjoyable.
Polgear View does have a steep staircase as shown in the promotional photos, and for this reason we built a downstairs toilet, located in the study area.
On taking advice from Cornish Cottage Holidays literature, we have included what is deemed to be sufficient crockery etc. To ensure we meet our guest's expectations, we always send an introductory text message without contact details, so if there is something which isn't quite right, or doesn't meet expectations, we can be contacted and rectify this in the shortest possible timeframe. So please, if you find something that doesn't meet your requirements, contact us straight away.
We also understand that where we live is not to everyone's liking, as we do live at the end of a long track, which can become pitted. This is why we insisted on including in the description that the approach is not suitable for very low cars.
We are sorry that you were not 100% satisfied, and wish we had been aware so we could have provided a solution to the issues experienced.
