The cottage gets its name because it was originally used to store the feed or 'meal' for the pigs that resided in the pig sty that can still be seen across from it (now a log shed). You can still see many of the original features of the building, like the exposed stone walls and the old wooden beam in the kitchen that was used to cure meat on.

The cost of the extra bed (with bedding) and cot (please bring your own cot bedding) will be included in the price.

Open for eleven months of the year (it is closed in August), the pool is fully heated and air conditioned, with adjoining heated-changing rooms and showers. It’s perfect for families and children who want to splash around or those wanting to put in a few lengths and keep fit. Please note that due to overcrowding issues the pool is not open to our guests during the month of August (but the local beaches are !). The pool is approximately 17m X 8m in size and has a safe, constant depth of 1.3m. There is a small toddler pool for little ones, who want a quieter area to enjoy the water. There is also a pleasant seating area next to the pool for the non-swimmers. The pool is free to use for Polean Farm guests. There are, however, some sessions (aqua fit, kids’ swimming lessons etc.) which may involve extra cost. Also please note that the pool is not available to use in August (but is available the rest of the year). Due to the current Covid restrictions it will be necessary to pre-book a 1 hour slot to use the pool. The pool is lifeguarded at all times, however to ensure a safe environment for all under 8’s and non-swimmers must be accompanied by an adult in the pool at all times. Please note that the pool is closed in August. Other things to note Up to two well behaved dogs are allowed in this cottage.
