Polbream Reviews

Lorraine
2nd time staying at Polbeam, very nice property with plenty of room.
Lindsay
The house was very clean and well-furnished, and the beds were very comfortable. It was good to have parking, and there was a shed in the garden for our bikes. It was a short stroll to the (lovely) beach and the food at the beach café/bar was very tasty. Having a nice garden to sit out in was a bonus, as was the games room. We recommend Polbream and would certainly stay there again.
Angela
