Polraen Country House Hotel nestles in the Looe River Valley just 5 minutes from the fishing and seaside town of Looe in South East Cornwall. Relaxing in hotel style facilities set in beautiful gardens with plentiful onsite parking, you can combine bed and breakfast with optional evening dinner in a historic fully licensed Cornish country house, yet Looe, with its sandy beach and maritime heritage is less than 2 miles away.

Earning ‘Good Breakfast’ and ‘Dinner Awards’ from the AA, AA Landlady of the Year and the Green Acorn Award for Sustainable Tourism, Polraen Country House was awarded a 4 Star ‘Highly Commended’ Guest Accommodation rating from the AA this year as well as a tripadvisor ‘Certificate of Excellence’ in May 2011. At our family run hotel, double, twin and family rooms offer high quality well equipped ensuite accommodation with modern comforts including Wi-Fi access. Hotel guest facilities include a cosy bar, guest lounge and dining conservatory overlooking the landscaped gardens – a perfect setting for breakfast, dinner, small weddings and family celebrations.

Known for warm friendly hospitality, a relaxed country house atmosphere, and excellent food, Polraen Country House Hotel is owned and run by the Bridges family. We use locally sourced Cornish produce at breakfast and dinner, including fish from Looe Quay.

Surrounded by glorious Cornish countryside, our small hotel can be your country house holiday home near Looe and the sea, as well as a wonderful base from which to visit Cornwall’s many National Trust historic houses and gardens, and the Eden Project with easy touring access to the rest of Cornwall.
