The Return of Captain Poldark

Poldark is back for season number three but it’s Cornwall that continues to steal the show.

Poldark has returned to our screens for a brand-new season and once again viewers have been left spellbound by the rugged beauty of Cornwall.

Season three of the BBC drama has welcomed back viewers in their droves (5.5 million to be a little more precise) all gripped by the brooding plot lines that engulf the show’s chief protagonist, Capt. Ross Poldark, played by heartthrob, Aiden Turner.

With its impressive costumes and dramatic locations, this historical drama continues to throw the spotlight on the magnificent Cornish coast, bringing to life both its rich mining heritage and smuggling past.

The heroic and tumultuous escapades of Ross; his turbulent love affair with his scullery maid turned wife, Demelza, and his ongoing feud with the avaricious George Warleggan, is set to dominate our Sunday evenings throughout the summer.

If you’ve found yourself falling for Kernow and would like to experience some of this spectacular landscape first-hand, why not have a look at our long list of Cornish holiday cottages.

Whether it’s a family break, couple’s retreat, friends’ reunion or solo escape, Toad Hall Cottages can help find your perfect Cornish location and all for an ‘andsome price. It’s also worth mentioning that many of our holiday cottages are dog-friendly, so you can bring along your four-legged companion.
