Property code: OC-CGART2

A lovely cottage in a quiet position just a hundred yards from the water's edge in Polruan, the property is the perfect seaside retreat for friends, families or couples. Set on a headland across the river from Fowey, Polruran is a former fishing village come tourism hotspot thanks to its charming homes, beautiful setting and relaxed atmosphere. The village’s picturesque narrow lanes are peaceful, unspoilt and virtually car-free. There are two welcoming local pubs and a small shop on this side of the river. Alternatively, take the ferry across the river to Fowey from the nearby quay and discover unique local shops and boutiques, harbour-side cafes, pubs and excellent restaurants offering tempting local produce. Surrounded by stunning coast and countryside, exploring on foot can be extremely rewarding. Try the scenic coastal walk to sandy Lantic Bay (1.5 miles) or take the ferry to Fowey to visit Readymoney Cove (1 mile). The world-famous Eden Project is a 15-mile drive. The Fowey Festival of Words and Music is held in May, and the Fowey Royal Regatta is held in August. Both bring many additional attractions and events to the town. Polruran is an excellent location for those wishing to experience these events but still have the option to escape the hustle-and-bustle of Fowey.

The property has an inverted layout designed to maximise the amazing views of the river. The ground floor is home to two stylish bedrooms, one with a king-size bed, TV and en-suite shower room with WC, the other with a double bed, TV and en-suite bathroom with bath, shower over and WC. Upstairs on the first floor, the vaulted living area is bright and breezy, offering captivating views out over the ever-changing waters beyond. A comfy sofa and two armchairs face an inviting window seat overlooking Fowey Harbour. The modern open-plan kitchen/diner is well equipped with everything one could need to cook up a storm after a day exploring the Cornish coast.

Outside, to the rear of the property, is an enclosed terraced garden with potting shed and outdoor seating. To the front of the cottage is a small patio with a table, chairs and bench from which to relax and watch the world go by.

We love staying at Gartree Cottage so much, it's been our 3rd visit in 4 years! Fabulous location with great views down Fowey estuary and plenty of great walks on your doorstep. The cottage is clean, comfortable, and warm when needed.

Garttee Cottage was in a great location. The reason for scoring is as follows. The garden could be lovely but access is difficult so we didnt use it. Maybe some more accessible steps and/or pretty up the front garden? The soft furnishings were okay but the sofa has seen better days! The water pressure was excellent. The cottage had everything we nRead moreeeded. Minimalist but we like that. One small point, you cant check in until 5pm which seems very late considering the cost and the local shop closes at 5pm so at least leave some tea bags and milk on arrival for guests. A nice gesture or move check in to 4pm which is more usual for similar rentals. Thank you for a great stay. Hide
