Things to Know Before Booking Polhawn Lookout
Cliffside Location & Access
Polhawn Lookout is a unique cliffside chalet with stunning sea views. To reach us, you’ll take a short walk down a coastal foot path from the parking area. The path can be narrow and uneven, and it may get slippery in wet weather. We recommend sensible footwear, and if you have mobility concerns, please consider this before booking, as refunds cannot be offered on arrival. The walk is part of the adventure.
Length of Stay
Our stays are charged per night, with a discount automatically applied for weekly bookings. If you’d like to stay longer than 7 nights, we’d be delighted to help — just get in touch with us directly to discuss your plans.
Children
Babies aged 0–6 months (in arms) are welcome free of charge. A travel cot is available on request for £10 per stay. Please bring along extra towels and blankets to make your little one comfortable.
Pets
We welcome one well-behaved dog at Polhawn Lookout, charged at £8 per night. To make things easier, we provide a dog bed, blanket, and bowls — so your four-legged friend feels at home too.
Smoking
For the comfort and safety of all our guests, smoking is not permitted anywhere on the property.
Payment Methods
We recommend paying by bank transfer, which carries no additional fees. PayPal is available if preferred, but please note it carries a 2.9% charge. Cheques are also accepted if arranged in advance.
Check-in & Check-out
-
Check-in is from 4:00 pm

If you’d like to start your break a little earlier or leave a little later, we can offer early check-in (from 14:00 pm) or late check-out (until 12:00 pm) for £25 each. Please let us know if this would help with your travel plans or add it on in the extra's section.
Heated Bath Experience
Our property features a private heated bath tub, giving you the relaxing warmth of a hot tub without the use of chemicals. Please note, it is a bath-style tub rather than a traditional chemical hot tub, so it’s perfect for a soak and enjoying the sea views, but not the same as a public or spa-style hot tub. We just ask guests to enjoy responsibly.
Cancellation Policy
You can find the full details of our cancellation policy on our Terms & Conditions page. We recommend reading this carefully before booking.
