  One of our favourite places to stay, so clean and cosy. You feel the stress drift away as you step in and kick off your shoes. An amazing welcome parcel, including a lovely homemade cake. The owners are great, really helpful and friendly, happy to provide recommendations for places to visit and places to eat, but not intrusive. Excellent location for days out, close to the beach and 15 minutes coastal walk in to Falmouth. We cannot wait to go back.

  Polltreth is such a lovely comfortable quiet peaceful place. It is ideally situated being only a short walking distance from Swanpool beach and the SW coast path. The owners are so welcoming and generous. They provide a delicious cake to enjoy plus so much more. We have been visiting them for over 10 years, it feels like home.

  Sumptuously appointed and beautifully decorated with splendid views from its large windows, Polltreth is ideally placed for exploring the SW Coastal Path, relaxing at the local beaches of Swanpool and Gyllyngvase, and sauntering into Falmouth. After a busy day sightseeing, you can enjoy the peace and quiet the apartment offers, surrounded by its abundant greenery, and overlooking Swanpool Nature Reserve with its many native and migrant birds. The delightful hosts stock the fridge with essential groceries and bake you a confectionery of your choice. Our enormous fruit cake lasted the whole week!

  John and jean were very friendly and their cake and welcome box was much appreciated. The open plan lounge and kitchen was a nice space. It was however cluttered and dated. The chairs were comfy. The bathroom was on the small size but again dated and was carpeted which is unusual these days. The bedroom was stuffed with furniture. A third bed made it impossible to clean this room properly. The whole place was very musty.

  Very homely and comfortable. Great location and facilities. Owners fabulous.
• Anon - July 2024
  Ideally located at a short stroll from the beach and coastal path. Falmouth with all its amenities is close by, but the apartment is located at a very tranquil location at Swanpool. The hosts are very friendly and a very warm welcome with lemon cake, tea, coffee, juice, musli, … Our dog was also very welcome. They gave us all kinds of tips for dog friendly walks and places. We had a great stay!

  A really lovely well equipped apartment. The L shaped living area is large, bright and airy; no excuse for being cramped in any way! The bedroom and bathroom are nicely cut off from the main living area, offering a very comfortable bed and a good shower. Position wise, Poltreth is off a quiet lane adjacent to the Swanpool lake and nature reserve, with easy access to the beach and coastline walks. Too early in the season to test out the swimming pool, but looks very inviting! Altogether a very relaxing week, well looked after by John and Jean, our congenial hosts.

  John and Jean are exceptional warm and welcoming hosts. We have stayed with them many happy times, it’s like home from home for us. The very comfortable accommodation is perfect for us. Polltreth is ideally placed being in a quiet area beside Swanpool lake but also close to the beach and S W coastal path.

  Lovely apartment with all you would need for a break away, very clean and tidy, the welcome pack was the best I had ever received. Jean and John were excellent hosts, always on hand if needed. It was also in a quiet area but easy to walk to the beach (5 mins max) or into the town.

• Laura Butcher - August 2022
  John and Jean were lovely hosts. The apartment was plenty big enough with a nice outdoor area and the pool was perfect. It was also in a quiet area but easy to walk to the beach or into the town.

• Mike Ken - August 2022
  We've stayed at Polltreth with our young family a number of times over the last few years. The location is perfect - minutes away from the beach and coastal walks, yet still being within easy walking distance of the town. We love the flat - it's really well equipped and comfortable, making it a home away from home. John and Jean are excellent hosts. Always on hand to make recommendations regarding activities to do near and far. We can't recommend it enough!

  Great location near the beach. Lack of privacy wasn’t made fully clear on the website and property wasn’t as clean as I would expect. Owners very friendly but, for us, a little to “present”, but other holiday makers may like that daily contact from them.
  Response

  Many thanks for reviewing your holiday. Polltreth is a well-established holiday home and the owners, who live in the main house, are experienced hosts. They also respect those guests who prefer quiet time during their holiday so they are sad that you felt this was not the case. We are also disappointed to read that you felt the property was not as clean as you would have expected and only wish we had been made aware of this earlier so we could have rectified any areas that fell short during your holiday. We hope you will stay with us again.
• Anon - July 2022
  Everything was lovely and as described. Great location for the beach and beautiful long dog walks. The apartment was very well equipped. John and Jean were great hosts. Greeted us with some goodies and delicious homemade cake, they even dog sat for us for a special occasion. Our only tiny inconvenience was that the outside space to the property is all paved. our dogs would not wee when we let them outside in the morning and at night, so we had to dress to walk them down the road, instead of just letting them out in the garden first thing in the morning and last thing at night, as we would at home. The dogs didn’t mind their extra,extra walks, though out of routine . I can see it is of benefit in a rental
  Response

  Thank you for your kind review of Polltreth. We only wish you had let us know about your dogs not liking the paved area during your stay as John and Jean would have been happy for you to use the grassy area of their garden. We are so pleased your celebrations went well and we hope to welcome you back to Cornwall again soon.

  Polltreth is just our favourite holiday place. This year we have returned for the 6th time, so I think you can say we like it. It’s just home from home. Jean & John are excellent hosts & is always available to help if needed.
