A little look inside Red Deer Cottage… 🌿 If A little look inside Red Deer Cottage… 🌿

If you’re looking for a peaceful Cornwall getaway with beautiful countryside right outside your door, take a look at Red Deer.

This lovely little cottage sleeps 4, all on one level, making it a really easy and comfortable choice for a family with young children or a couple/friends wanting their own rooms.

But we think the real star of Red Deer is the view. 💚

Wake up to the Cornish countryside, enjoy a slow breakfast with the view outside, then head off to explore Cornwall for the day. And when you come back, there’s nothing better than settling in and enjoying the peace and quiet of the farm.

You’ll also have all the little extras that come with staying at Poltarrow — 75+ acres to explore, the woodland, the lake as well as the indoor pool, plenty of space for children to play and lots of countryside right on the doorstep.

🎥 Take a little tour of Red Deer in our video…

Could this be your next Cornwall escape?

A little bit of farming behind the scenes at Polta A little bit of farming behind the scenes at Poltarrow 🌱🚜

It’s not all holiday cottages and happy guests here at Poltarrow - there’s always something happening on the farm too!

Following recent soil testing and analysis, we found that several of the fields are in need of a little help to get the soil back to the right balance.

So today, it’s time for some lime! 🚜

Spreading agricultural lime helps to reduce soil acidity and raise the pH, bringing the grassland closer to its optimal level of around pH 6.3.  Perfect for growing the juiciest grass for grazing!

Once we get a good shower of rain, the lime will be washed into the soil and start doing its job. Getting the soil pH right helps grass and other plants make better use of the nutrients available in the soil - all part of looking after the land for the long term. 🌱

We love sharing a little glimpse of the farming that goes on here at Poltarrow. There’s a lot more to running Poltarrow than meets the eye!

🎥 Watch the tractor in action spreading the lime across Pond Field…

A family business… with a few extra little helpe A family business… with a few extra little helpers! 🍂🚜

Poltarrow has been a family business for over 40 years, and these days the next generation are growing up around the farm too.

So when you see children enjoying the outdoors here, getting muddy, exploring, playing and occasionally “helping” with the jobs, it really is part of everyday life at Poltarrow.

Yesterday, After school Club for Morley and Reuben meant helping Granny clear up the autumn leaves… although we're not entirely sure how much work actually got done! 😂🍂

We love that our younger guests get the chance to play outside, use their imaginations and enjoy a bit of old-fashioned farm fun rather than being stuck indoors.

And yes, those little ride-on tractors? They're in the play area and are there for our guests to enjoy too! 🚜

It’s one of the things we love about Poltarrow - it’s not just somewhere to stay in Cornwall. It’s a real working family farm, where children can have adventures, make memories and maybe even lend a hand along the way.

Come and let the children discover the simple joys of farm life for themselves. ❤️

Bring the whole family to Cornwall! 🌿❤️ Ge Bring the whole family to Cornwall! 🌿❤️

Getting everyone together for a family holiday can be tricky, especially when there are grandparents, parents, children and little ones all coming along.

That’s where Poltarrow works so well for multi-generational holidays.

🏡 Roebuck or Stag Cottage – sleeping 6 plus space for a cot, giving everyone room to stay together under one roof.

🏡 Or give the grandparents their own space – book Deer Park, which sleeps 2, alongside one of our larger cottages. You’re all staying on the same farm, close enough to wander over for breakfast or a family BBQ, but the grandparents have somewhere peaceful to escape to at the end of the day!

And there’s plenty here to keep all ages happy – not just the 75+ acres of Cornish countryside, woodland, our lake and space to run around but the indoor pool, sports hall and soft play room.  Plus there are lots of family-friendly places to explore nearby.

No need to choose between a family holiday and a little bit of peace and quiet… at Poltarrow, you can have both. 😊

So why not bring the whole family to Cornwall and make some memories together?

September and October are a lovely time to be at Poltarrow. The days can still be warm and sunny, the beaches are quieter and the countryside is starting to turn all those beautiful autumn colours.

If you don't have time for a full week, we're offering short breaks throughout September and October, so why not escape for a few days?

There’s plenty to enjoy here at Poltarrow too – walks around the farm, the lake and fishing, the animals to feed, space for the children to run around, the indoor pool and, of course, all the lovely places to visit around Cornwall.

And after a busy day exploring, it’s rather nice to come back to your own cosy cottage. ❤️

Short breaks available throughout September & October.
