This area of Cornwall is renowned for its sub-tropical gardens. Caerhays Castle has featured on numerous TV and feature film dramas and is surrounded by acres of magnificent camellias and magnolias. Many of the plants were originally shipped from China in the 19th century. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are a short drive away where visitors can spend all day wandering through the walled gardens, jungle valley and enjoy watching the heritage breeds at the South West’s first Rare Breed Farm Park. The Eden Project is also nearby, The famous biomes nestling in a reclaimed china clay pit. This amazing complex has 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 regular music events, the Eden Sessions. Charlestown, a frequent location for ’Poldark’, is a few miles away in St Austell. It has a shipwreck centre and offers trips on its famous tall ships.

A relaxing time surrounded by nature. A good base for exploring local culture. Owners were very friendly and welcoming.

This is our second time at Little Polgrain- this time at cottage number 2. The location is a little off the beaten track but that’s what we like. And it’s a lovely cottage with everything we needed. Nice and warm and with a good shower. The cottage has plenty of birdlife to keep you entertained. Number 2 has an enclosed private garden which is better suited to our dogs and a sun trap- we hope to return again soon.

Lovely location & excellent hosts, Zoe & Andy. Ideal for dogs - our 6 month old springer Spaniel loved it (& loved the pheasants in the neighbouring field!!!). Beach not far away, went end of September so dogs were allowed on most beaches. Very peaceful & quiet.
