A note from the site themselves...

Our site is very much all about family. With help from my wife Rachael and our children, we are all always working to make the site the best it can be.

Myself and Rachael both work very much hands-on and are on-site most of the time. We are always happy to help visitors out when needed and have a wealth of experience and knowledge of the local area including places to visit, local beaches, dog walking areas and much more.

We hope you enjoy your time at Polladras, tell all your friends about us and return soon, John
