  Great location and view over the Bay, 5 minutes walking distance from the train station with easy access to St Ives.

  Before diving into a bit of detail I would like to say my family and I had a lovely holiday at the Lanyon and made some great memories. On booking there were no reviews as it was a new listing at the time so we took a risk and overall we were very happy. The walk to the nearest dog friendly beach takes you down an undulating coast path/track which is challenging, lots of steps and takes about 10 minutes once you cross the train track. But the reward once down on the beach is great, a very nice sandy beach and no restrictions for the dog. We stayed there for several hours on one of our days. Carbis bay is a lovely sandy beach but down a steep road. There is a hotel/bar where you can have a drink or two which was nice. The beach has restriction on the time dogs are allowed, I think 10am-6pm (but pls check) The house is big and spacious, but perhaps could do with some updating in the main bathroom and shower room. All works perfectly fine but just looked a little dated. No TV in three of the bedrooms, but as we were out and about most of the time not too much of an issue. Doors: a few of the interior doors did not open or close easily, you had to apply some force and this created a loud noise each time, not so much of a problem in the day, but at night was just not great. (easily fixed I am sure) The garden is a big space which is great for the dog, but the lawn needs cutting and grass needs some attention. Also need some better quality outside furniture, what is supplied seems very much like an after thought. Also a couple of sun loungers would be great. We liked the idea of the Wood burning hot tub in advance, but there is no wood supplied and the reality once there is it all seemed like a lot of effort. Would strongly recommend installing an electric hot tub in the future, as the view is great. We had two cars, one being a largish 4x4. The driveway to the house had an old cement post to one side of the entrance which was more of a hindrance/hazard and would recommend this be removed. The main sitting room/tv room is a nice large space with comfortable seating and open fire, I would recommend they remove the main painting opposite the TV as it depicts somebody being beheaded!, not great for young kids.. St Ives: Take the rain as parking in St Ives can be problematic, it is one stop on the train. We enjoyed Cintra as a fish/tapas type restaurant overlooking the harbour. Very fresh and tasty. I hope this helps, all in all the house and location worked great for us . (3 adults, 2 children (11 & 14) and a Cockapoo dog)

  Had a lovely week at Polurrian House with family last week, the facilities were great and the location is stunning.

  So many local, beautiful beaches, walks and places to visit. You can watch the cows at the local farm from the balcony coming out in the morning and coming back to bed late afternoon which is nice. The house is on a sort of little complex with 3/4 other houses either occupied by their individual owners or by other people on holiday. The house has 3 good sized rooms with ensuites, and 1 with no ensuite but is next door to a bathroom. The house is stated as having a secure garden for dogs, and it is fully fenced, however, if you have a dog smaller than a small beagle size there is a possibility they will get through one side of the fence into the next doors garden. You have access to 3 car spaces (number 3, the garage behind it and the space between them). The description stated 2 spaces when we booked, but in the documentation the house has inside it mentions these 3 spaces. The house in general was spotless, cleaned to a very high standard and lovely welcome gifts provided when we arrived. A few things to note for the servicing team/owner that if we don't mention you may not know about, is that the bedroom door downstairs to the room without an ensuite, once you shut that door, you will struggle to get out of it without an almighty tug. It needs shaving slightly to fit well. Also the same for the downstairs bedroom with single beds, the ensuite door does not shut at all for the same reason. We couldn't find a light switch that worked either the front or back garden lights, so using the hot tub after dark was a bit hard, probably just the bulbs needing changing. Other than those easy fixes, a great holiday home, highly recommended

  Very nice house, and cleaned immaculately.

  Lovely linens on the beds, big fluffy towels. Slept like babies. Kitchen is very well stocked , with lots of pans and pots, plates .etc Big dishwasher was a big help. Some of the doors stick but with a bit of a push they'll give. The garden and outside area is amazing. Nice outside furniture and a balcony that you can see the sea from. Hottub was lovely and toasty too. Sadly the neighbour did put a slight downer on the holiday. We had just got our bags in and he knocked in, asking us to move our cars ASAP, as it was blocking his garage. As you look at the property, it was the neighbour on the right. Also mentioned that we "shouldn't be loud in the hottub, or up late with loud music" Not Polurrian House owners fault, the property is lovely. One thing I will say is the fences in the back garden are very low. Our dog cleared them no problem. If you have an escapologist dog would advise long line. TV in living room is on a really good swivel bracket and can move to any position, and is 4k. Really glad I took my PS5 down with me. Very nice place. Would recommend.

  The Argal apartment situated at Treverva Farm is in a really good location to be able to explore Cornwall.

  Argal is modern and nicely decorated the bedrooms and bathroom are generous in size with extremely comfortable beds. The kitchen is well equipped with modern oven microwave induction hob fridge freezer and dishwasher. The kitchen does need additional crockery limited glass wear and only 4 bowls plates side plates and mugs but we managed. The stools at the breakfast bar are a bit too high beautiful to look at but not as practical or comfortable to use. The area is wonderfully quiet and peaceful lovely for the dogs with a great exercise area to stretch their legs first and last thing each day. If mobility is not a problem there’s a walk down the field to the Argal reservoir footpath a walk around the whole reservoir takes around an hour unless like us you stop and enjoy a coffee and cake at the cafe half way round. The Red Lion pub and New inn are close by both served delicious food probably best to book and Windjammer in Falmouth was also fabulous. We had a wonderful week and loved our stay Ian was on hand for any questions highly recommended.

  Initially when we arrived we were taken back by how lovely the environment and the area of the cottage was in.

  However it then came to light that you were not allowed to leave your pets in the cottage unattended, which was not on the listing (had it of been we would have booked elsewhere) We found the whole experience intrusive with the lack of privacy and the handyman/ owners mate (so he says) interpreting our stay most days. The property gives a feel that it is being run like a hotel and that is not what we were looking for. On the 3rd Night another party arrived to stay in the adjacent cottage and that was the straw that broke the camels back, they where in the rear of their cottage in the early hours shouting laughing and very drunk, waking us up at 0300am and not going quite until gone 0530am. This made us realise how close the other property’s were to us and again this was not mentioned in the listing. We left earlier because we could not stay there anymore because of the fore mentioned issues. All I can say if you want a nice place to stay that’s a slightly nicer environment than Butlin’s then book here your love it. I will not be going back.
