Property code: 92080

Spacious cottage with fabulous waterside views, the perfect family retreat. This traditional-style cottage lies in the heart of the ancient fishing village of Polruan, and pretty Fowey sits just across the estuary – with its pubs and restaurants, it’s just a short ferry ride away. The village itself has a small shop, bakery, cafe, and a couple of good pubs which serve food. There is a ferry service to Fowey which runs every 15 minutes, giving access to further shops and eateries. There is only one road into Polruan, which ends by the quay close to the tidal beach, making the village a quiet and peaceful destination to retreat to. It is ideally situated for visiting attractions such as the Eden Project (16 miles) or Ferryside, where Daphne Du Maurier wrote her first novel. The property also offers easy access to the South West Coast Path.

Enter into the cottage and the large kitchen with a dining table and plenty of space to socialise whilst cooking. With great views from the kitchen window, it's a wonderful spot to gather after a day of exploring the gems of Cornwall. Moving through the kitchen and into a hallway, you will find the living room and bedrooms all come off this area. The lounge is spacious with lovely, large windows overlooking Polruan and the sea. You will also find a separate seating area perfect for reading a book or watching the ever-changing tides. A laundry room with a washing machine and freezer sits to the rear of the property, under the stairs. The bedrooms are spacious with the first being a king and the second, a double. Next door is a delightful shower room completes this retreat.
Outside is a large patio terrace with garden furniture and spectacular views, a fantastic place to dine alfresco and enjoy a cold drink after a long day in the sunshine.

A comfortable, well equipped and laid-out, property in a great location and with spectacular views of the harbour. We've stayed in many properties in Polruan over the years; this is one of the best.

A beautiful piece of Polruan sat on the hillside. A great little bungalow with amazing views of the harbour and Fowey. Spacious property with a well stocked kitchen. Comfortable furniture and beds too. The location is lovely and quiet, but it does have a steep path to walk up from the harbour. To be fair its a steep walk wherever you are in PolruanRead more. You couldnt tell that any dogs had stayed in the property before our visit.. Holiday Cottage staff were excellent and super friendly. Hide

A lovely part of Cornwall to stay. The property has beautiful views from all windows across the estuary. Its a very hilly area which was a bit of a challenge going down to the little ferry to Fowey. Very nice property with all home comforts. Beds clean and comfy. The only drawback was the bathroom could have been cleaner.

Beautiful bungalow with fantastic views over the harbour. Not a lot in Polruan but easy access to Fowey. Great food at The Luggers Inn.

we had a great holiday - apart from the awful weather (not the fault of the cottage owner) however not much to do with to dogs in the rain. the property is on a very steep hill, both ways - ie going up to the car park and going down to the village, if you are not fairly fit you will struggle

Great place to stay, fantastic views. You need to be good at walking up hills and steps. But well worth the effort when you see the views!

The positive is the wonderful location and superb views down the Fowey Estuary. The cottage is homely and very suitable for a holiday let, although it might struggle with more than a couple staying, as there were fairly limited numbers of mugs and such. There was a gap in the fencing mesh opposite the front door, which the dogs found straight away Read moreand through which they could get as far as the wall and drop to the footpath. We put a chair across it to block it. Lovely location. Hide
