DINING
During your stay, you can enjoy evening meals in the airy
dining room with french doors leading to the garden, whilst
our fully licensed bar is also open to non-residents April
- October. A varied menu includes vegetarian dishes with
seafood a speciality, and we earn a 'Crusted Pie' commendation
from the AA for the excellence of our fare using locally
sourced Cornish produce. Main course meals are available
from around £9.00 with a 3 course meal from around
£17.00. 
As
all food is individually prepared and home cooked, we request
starter and main course choices by 11 am on the day, serving
meals in the Dining Room from 7 pm. Please note that the
Dining Room and Bar are closed on Sunday evenings - we are
more than happy to assist with bookings at local restaurants.
In summer in hot sunny weather, evening dinner may occasionally
be replaced with a BBQ.
The ambience that prevails at Polraen is that of a private
country house, and quality refurbishment of all public areas
has created an ideal venue for small weddings, family celebrations
and social gatherings. We can cater for parties of up to
24 for seated meals or 50 buffet style with a menu tailored
to your requirements. Outside of the peak season, we can
also provide total privacy for executive meetings and small
corporate events (both residential and non-residential).

GUEST LOUNGE & BAR
Relax
in the comfort of the guest
sitting
room,
and choose from the selection of books, magazines, and videos,
or share more family-oriented pursuits using the board games and contents
from the toy box or just
enjoy
a quiet night in front of the TV. If you prefer to share the day's highlights
with fellow guests and a few of the locals, you will enjoy
the cosy and sociable atmosphere of our fully licensed bar. Sample 'Cornish Knocker' - a fine real ale, or why not try the
wonderful local cider and apple juice from Cornish
Orchards from just up the valley, or our
excellent range of single malt whiskies.
THE GARDEN, PARKING & LOCAL TRANSPORT
The house has a wonderful
aspect looking over a large sunny garden. The terrace is the perfect place to
enjoy a drink as the occasional pheasant strolls across
the lawn. An
attractive mix of well laid out flower beds gives way
to more indigenous species lending the garden a charm
of its own. There's plenty of
space for children to play without disturbing others. Children of
any age are welcome at Polraen. 
Staying just outside
Looe at Polraen offers distinct advantages.The convenience
of easy level access from our onsite car park is particularly
appreciated by the less mobile or those with young children.
Secure enclosed parking is also available for cycles and
motorcycles. Not forgetting the peace of the Cornish countryside!
It's only a 5 minute drive into Looe but few country house
hotels in such a peaceful setting offer such convenient
access to Looe allowing you to leave the car behind. In
just 4 minutes walk up the lane, you can board the Looe
Valley Train for what is undoubtedly the most scenic 5
minute ride on the entire branch line. The train skirts
the banks of the river into Looe allowing you to spot
the birds and wildlife and we are well
served by local buses to Looe, Polperro, Liskeard and
beyond. Polraen
features in 'Trails from the Tracks' - a published programme
of walks accessible from stations along the Looe Valley
Line and is a welcome watering hole on the Looe Valley
Real Ale Trail. Click here

in the Looe Valley and the annual Walking Festival held
in September.
