Wonderful property, owners friendly and helpful. We had a lovely family holiday with 3 generations including over 90 year old parents who assured us the en suite wet room with ground floor bedroom was brilliant. Location of house was fairly close (but not too close!) to make it easy to travel around to different places. Davidstow air museum was amazing to visit. All in all a great holiday at the barn and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
-
Excellent holiday location, safe for children to run around in the garden. House exceeded our expectations and was well equipped even for the dog. Kaye and James were available and very welcoming.

Wonderful house in very quiet and peaceful location. The owners could not have done more to ensure our weekend stay was perfect.

We stayed at Polmear Barn with our 3 adult children and daughter in law, my parents, our 8 year old son and our two pre school foster children! The space was fantastic for everyone! There was enough space for an adult ‘quiet’ lounge, a very large play room in the dining area and still have a communal area, it was amazing!The house was beautifully clean, furnished and presented. Kaye and James, our hosts, were friendly and helpful, Kaye had left a beautiful homemade Victoria sponge cake alongside all the teas, coffees and chocolate drinks you could think of. The bedrooms and bathrooms were beautifully decorated and very comfortable.The view from the main bedroom was just spectacular!We especially appreciated the individual thermostats on each room, allowing my parents to have their room and the living room much warmer than the rest of the house! It’s a very warm house even in February. We used it as a base for the Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Helligan , National Trust Cotehele and more local places such as Widemouth Bay and National Trust Pentire. Cornwall is beautiful and we shall return again, maybe when it’s not so wet!!Thank you James & Kaye, it was truly beautiful.

Polmear Barn is spacious and warm, with attentive hosts. Rooms are large and our multi-family break in January 2026 filled it completely! Despite the weather being mostly rain, we managed to get out and about a bit and visited some local spots. Recommended.
-
Beautifully-presented property in an idyllic location. The house had plenty of space for 8 adults, a teenager and a dog and the kitchen was large and with enough equipment to accommodate our needs. We were there over a cold snap but the under floor heating meant it was cozy and warm all week. Plenty of space for parking including EV charging. We did lots of walking and cycling while we were there too so the bike store was very welcome too.
-
Perfect size and layout for multi family holidays.We had 4 generations and a lab celebrating Christmas and everyone felt that they had their own space when needed.Fabulous kitchen and dining area that meant the ‘chefs’ could still be involved with the games and conversation whilst cooking a feast.
-
Fantastic house. Large proportioned bedrooms great showers.Great kitchen well equipped with all you need to feed 12 people, knives that were Sharp and if not a sharping block.Great communication from the owners able to help with minor issue. And as we went during the recent cold flood period the house was amazingly warm. Underfloor heating how great is that.Lovely walks nearby.Just perfect.

We wanted to stay somewhere large enough to accommodate all our family. We chose Polmear Barn as it had enough bedrooms and bathrooms to cater for 6 adults and 4 children (there was an extra bedroom which the children turned into their play room). The reviews were all excellent. We were not disappointed. The house was beautiful and had plenty of space for everyone. It was spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped to a high standard. We cooked meals at home on a number of occasions and everything we needed was there, including a table big enough for us all to sit down together to eat. It is ideally situated on the edge of Camelford so you are in the country but a short walk from food shops and a lovely fish and chip shop. There are lots of interesting places to visit nearby including Tintagel, Boscastle, Port Isaac, Padstow and Bude. It has a lovely big garden and you can walk across the fields at the end of the garden to the river. The owners James and Kaye were very welcoming and gave us a number to contact them on if we had any problems or questions. We all had a wonderful restful time together.

We had the best weekend celebrating a special birthday; 6 adults, 6 children 2 labradors! The Barn was well equipped, spacious, warm and just absolutely perfect. The house was perfectly located 25 mins from Padstow; 25 mins to Bude with Boscastle / tintagel close by. Garden was safe for both children and dogs, and plenty of parking for 4/5 cars. We loved our weekend here and will definitely re book

Myself and my family have recently come back from a Friday - Monday stay at Polmear barn and we all absolutely loved it. My siblings and I booked this stay as a gift for our parents birthdays, alongside 5 kids between the ages of 1-6. The barn was beautiful, clean, roomy and never felt crowded. James and Kaye introduced themselves on the day of our arrival and were so accommodating letting us know of all the amenities and local places to visit. The barn had absolutely everything you needed and more alongside a homemade cake on arrival which was very appreciated! Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend away.
