We celebrated my retirement with a family stay at The Glass House in Polruan, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The luxurious accommodation offered ample space for our group of ten, with standout features like a cinema room, hot tub, and sauna that added to the enjoyment. The views over Fowey were breathtaking both night and day, and thRead moree entire setting made our family time truly special. We couldn't have asked for a better stay! The boat trip to Fowey was a great activitiy and thoroughly enjoyable as was the Lugger Inn! Parking was ample for 4 cars, all en-suite rooms was a significant benefit - would thoroughly recommend.

10 of us went to The Glass House. Beautiful views over to Fowey. Beds were very comfy and four bedrooms have lovely views. Downside could not sit 10 of us in comfy seats in one room (would be ok if there were kids and adults who may not want to sit together.). Nowhere to hang coats but we were lucky it didn't rain. Had lovely meals at both The RussRead moreell Inn and Lugger Inn. The hill down to the quay is not for the faint hearted especially on the way back up but did keep us fit. Hide

We booked the Glass House to celebrate our Ruby wedding with our family and we were introducing a fifth generation to holidays in Polruan and Fowey. We had a wonderful time and the property was excellent. Well equipped, comfortable and just right! We enjoyed the wonderful views, the hot tub and sauna. We never had the TV on all week! Thank you.

Beautiful House, great location for walks. The Lugger in pub was fantastic and a short walk away. For a peaceful picturesque break, fantastic!

Stunning location, impressively furnished and with fantastic facilities. Do remember to pack extras if you stay here though - toiletries, cleaning supplies, and the bare essentials were not provided so plan a quick stop on the way or bring your own. Otherwise this is an absolute 5 star property, highly recommended.

Fabulous property! Amazing views. Perfect location! Celebrating my 60th birthday with family and friends. We all had our privacy in terms of own bedrooms and bathrooms but could come together in the open plan kitchen/dining/living area. Large fridge and freezer were great for a large group as were the 4 ovens! Hot tub a big hit with everyone! RecomRead moremend to anyone planning a house party! Hide
