"Polly's Bower was an exceptional rental."
It is a beautiful space to spend time in and is situated really well to explore a gorgeous part of the country.
More than that, the hosts really have thought of everything and the many small touches were the icing on an already lovely cake.
The best thought through place we have ever stayed.

"Wow! Polly’s Bower is a slice of Cornish heaven."
The cottage is beautiful and the views are stunning. The location was perfect for exploring Cornwall. The hosts were really lovely and the little touches (such as a hamper of Cornish treats and home pressed apple juice) were thoughtful and made the trip even better. The pool was a real treat and easy to organise. Don’t hesitate to book Polly’s Bower for a beautiful Cornish base.

"Polly’s Bower is by far the best cottage we have ever stayed in!"
Louise & Mike have thought of everything you could ever need while on holiday. The welcome basket & scones was a lovely touch as was the Prosecco chilling in the fridge when we arrived. The furnishings were lovely and everything was spotlessly clean. The cottage is set in a beautiful area with lots of stunning walks close by. The cherry on the cake was the heated swimming pool which we enjoyed almost daily…….even at the end of September!
To sum up we could not recommend Polly’s Bower highly enough and it’s definitely 5* from us.

"A beautiful cottage, in a stunning, peaceful location."
The views and your every need provided for in this superb, tastefully decorated property, with the added bonus of access to a swimming pool, creates a perfect holiday experience. We have just celebrated a special anniversary there and have come away, rested, recharged and with memories to treasure. Polly’s Bower is the best self-catering property we have stayed in - and we are fussy!

"Polly's Bower has a definite WOW factor."
On arrival this beautiful location was just what we needed for our relaxation. Polly's Bower is set in the most beautiful location, it is home from home so welcoming and comfortable would go so far to say luxurious. We had everything we needed to enable us to be self sufficient having taken all the produce we needed to enjoy for our weeks stay. The welcome of cream tea set out beautifully and other goodies to enjoy added the special touches that weren't expected but were delightful. Louise is a lovely person and has certainly put her stamp of luxury on this property. Highly recommended. The Rod and Line pub which is close by is amazing in the fact that they are so friendly and the pub is like stepping back in time the atmosphere and the food was lovely.
Seaton which is approximately 15 minutes drive away has the most amazing beach and lovely country walks, we took a pic-nic and spent all day walking and marvelling at the scenery. Could not have found or been to a more beautiful, clean and comfortable place.

The photographs do not do Pollys bower justice , it's sheer luxury . Peaceful and quiet , stunning views of the local countryside .
