Polean farm is located down green lanes off the Looe to Polperro road, just outside the village of Pelynt. The farm is set amongst 150 acres of rolling farmland and is less than 2 miles from the sea. The 18th century former barns have been converted into spacious, comfortable and tastefully decorated cottages set around a pretty courtyard. Just one of the many delightful walks over the farm leads along the River Pol (where you can sometimes spot otters, badgers, foxes and deer) to the quaint little fishing village of Polperro (with its shops and five public houses).

Mollie the farm dog will be there to greet you when you arrive - and if you are coming in winter, remember to bring your wellies!

Just over a mile walk down a green lane leads to Pelynt's food shops and fine old coaching inn, which serves superb home cooked food and locally caught fish. The inn has a large beer garden and is open for lunch and evening meals. Charming Looe (4 miles away) boasts a large sandy beach, good shops, galleries and restaurants and a bustling quayside where you can get boat rides, or buy freshly caught fish (to cook yourself or ready fried from the superb chippy).

The farm’s fields are used for grazing the horses from the equestrian centre and for growing hay. Guests are welcome to stroll across the fields and can always find an empty field for a private picnic or to just sit and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Having children ourselves - whose ages range from 2 to 12, we know the value of being able to relax on holiday. Our aim, therefore, is to provide a fun holiday packed with lots of happy memories for your children to take away, whilst also giving parents the time, space and peace of mind to really enjoy their holiday. Our grounds and cottages have been designed with this in mind - they are well equipped to provide you with all you need for the perfect holiday. Facilities for children include cots, stairgates and high chairs in all the cottages. Plus we have an outdoor playground, a tractor riding area and an indoor playroom, which includes soft play matting for toddlers.

Your children will also love joining us in the morning to help get the guinea pigs out of their cages, plus help to bottle feed the lambs and hand feed the pigmy goats and chickens. After feeding the animals we collect the eggs from the chickens and the children can carry them home for breakfast. Also after the animal feeding, we offer free rides on Noah the pony (for those aged six and under) and rides on Humbug (for older children). Or for all ages there is a ride around the farm in the barrel train.

In addition, Polean Farm is a working livery yard and children and parents often enjoy visiting the horses and ponies each day (children must be supervised by an adult).
