This lavish property boasts fantastic views across the river to Fowey. Located close to the harbour it's within walking distance of the local pubs and shops. Lynton is the perfect retreat for exploring Polruan, making it the ideal bolt hole for families and friends alike. Less busy than Fowey on the opposite side, you'll find peace and tranquility and be transfixed with the changing scene on the river. With the South West Coast Path just a short stroll from your front door, try out the spectacular coastal walk along to Lantic Bay and be prepared for stunning scenery and plenty of wildlife along the way.

This two bedroomed retreat offers an open plan kitchen, lounge and diner, with a woodburner to cosy around and full height windows showing off the beautiful harbour views. The terrace welcomes alfresco dining, whether it be from the kitchen or a feast on the barbeque. End the evening with a glass of wine, toasting marshmallows around your very own fire pit watching the twinkling lights across the town. 

Peacefully tucked away from traffic, a short stroll will take you to the harbour. Be sure to catch the ferry across to Fowey, and discover the independent shops, galleries, pubs, restaurants and sailing clubs.

Great property, overlooking the harbour. With everything catered for. Lovely decor and very stylish. Comfortable furnishings and exceptionally clean. The views are unrivalled in any property we gave stayed in before. We spent most evenings watching the boats. We used the ferry to Fowey several times which was great fun. We also did the circular Read morewalk from Poluran to Lantic Bay and back, pretty strenuous but worth it. Poluran is very hilly and not for the physically challenged. There is no parking adjacent to the property, so be prepared to carry luggage up and down a very steep hill. 35 to park in the public car park, which can be paid by cash or card. Overall we had a fantastic time, found our stay relaxing and can see why this property is 5* Hide

Fantastic property in a great location. It's comfortable, well-equipped and stylish. There's always something to watch in the harbour, whatever the weather. And the view from the top of the hill behind the house (where the car park is) is even better. The south west coast path runs behind the house so you can walk to Lantic Bay or Polperro without Read morea car. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. Hide

Superb location and completely worth the short effort to carry your bags to/from the main village car park or the pull up/down hill to the pubs, ferry or bus stop. The views from the patio area are stunning and lovely in the sun. Even if the weather is not so kind, watching life on the estuary from inside never gets boring. No problems with finRead moreding a space in the village car park being early in the season. Underfloor heating kept the house warm and cosy so we didn't use the log burner. Spotlessly clean throughout and extremely well equipped. Great car-free walking options on the coast path (etc) using the bus to Polperro or ferry to Fowey. Highly recommended! Hide

An absolutely lovely cottage with great views and well appointed but should mention that the access is very steep.

Everything is like decribed. Very well and a famous view. As described there is a parkingplace at the top of the hill. We arrived end of july between 7 and 8 pm. Only a few places has been free. Inclusiv the Green area. We made some daytrips and we got a parkingplace in the evening. Always a few were free. Paying by card was no problem.

Fantastic property in a lovely location with amazing views - our second stay and once again came home fitter than when we arrived due to the steps/hills which of course is what gives you the amazing views! Lynton is so clean and well appointed, the owners have thought of everything for your comfort.

The most gorgeous property with the best view in Polruan! My family and I enjoyed every second of our stay and would absolutely rent this property again. It was spotlessly clean, fully equipped and felt like a home from home. We can highly recommend this property to anyone who wants the perfect location to visit Cornwall!

This is our second visit. Came here in 2022 and again, it didn't disappoint. Comfortable, open living area with an amazing view toward the water and Fowey. Be it a sunny day or pouring with rain, it's a perfect place to watch the world. Great pub , The Lugger, within a few minutes walk and down hill too. Only problem, it's up coming home

A beautiful property in a wonderful location. Be aware of the steep path down to the property from the carpark and that the parking can be tricky at busy times as the carpark can be full . We had a lovely week and would definitely return. This property isn't the cheapest but you as the saying guess you get what you pay for .
