We have just got back from a holiday in Cornwall and Devon staying at Polraen for 2 nights. The house and grounds are absolutely beautiful. Looe is only 2 miles away with a regular daily bus service to Looe and Polperro which was ideal. Polraen is in a really good position as Looe is close enough for good food and... More

We stayed for four nights over the May Day Bank Holiday at this wonderful country house hotel. Gill and Martin were the perfect hosts - nothing was too much trouble for them. We ate there on the Thursday and Friday night and found the food to be superb especially the bread and butter pudding. The location is good as you... More

We live in Looe and recently invited many of our friends and family from the North to attend our wedding. My uncle had a birthday the day after our wedding and as a surprise we recommended that we all had lunch at the Polrean Country House Hotel. The hotel, gardens, staff and food were all excellent. All 22 diners had... More

Thanks so much for your kind comments about Sunday lunch. I thought I'd better clraify that over the summer, we take a break from Sunday roasts at Polraen as most people want to be out and about enjoying the weather so Sunday lunches will resume in the autumn. Evening dinner is offered to hotel residents Mon-Fri. So look forward to... More

We had a magical time at Polraen, relaxing, welcoming atmosphere.... fresh clean rooms, friendly hosts, perfect for those looking for time out from a busy lifestyle. The hotel is just a stone throw away from the the towns Looe and Polperro. Food was faultless! We cant wait to go back... :)

We know the area of Looe well, and have always heard good things about the Polraen Sunday Roast, but this was the first time we have stayed here. We had phoned in advance to advise that we would arrive early and a good journey down meant that we did arrive much earlier than our check in time, but Martin was... More

Thanks for your kind comments. I'm glad our lovely location was the perfect tonic for you. I don't usually attempt to correct the detail of any review but on this occasion, it's only fair to give credit to Martin's cooking skills as he cooks the breakfasts and I can't quite see the station from Polraen as it's just a little...

Gill and Martin were the perfect hosts for our family break in Cornwall. We all felt as though we had been welcomed into a family home, while our two young children loved running around in the beautiful garden and playing with May, the resident Labrador. Having a bar on site meant we could put the children to bed and go... More

A short break in Cornwall was spent at Polraen Hotel, what a wise choice! Gill and Martin gave us excellent advise for routes of our trips out, and we both enjoyed our breakfasts very much. The garden was full of spring flowers, rooms very clean and comfortable. This place is worth a visit, and worth booking direct to the hotel.

Thanks for your comments and the advice to fellow travellers to book direct. I'm now highlighting on tripadvisor that people can save up to 15% by booking direct via the Polraen website booking or calling us and not booking via 3rd party booking agents. Best wishes. More

The weather and welcome at this Cornish gem was warm and sunny! Our room was perfect and peaceful with a lovely view of the woods. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful and served with a smile. We spent time lapping up the sunshine in the pretty garden before exploring Looe and its surroundings. All in all a relaxing and enjoyable stay... More

Belated thanks for your kind comments. Perhaps your stay was during our last spell of proper sunshine. It's now May, the Daphne Maurier Festival is on in Fowey yet we are having far too much rain... looking good for the weekend though. Look forward to your next visit. More
