Traditional cottage in the heart of the ancient fishing village of Polruan, with access to all Cornwall has to offer, and pretty Fowey with its pubs and restaurants a short ferry ride away. The village itself has a small shop, bakery, café and a couple of good pubs which serve food. Bodinnick Car Ferry (3.4 miles) perfect for easy access mid and east Cornwall. There is also a passenger ferry service to Fowey which runs every 15 minutes, giving access to further shops, restaurants and pubs. 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 (15.7 miles) or Ferryside, where Daphne Du Maurier wrote her first novel. The property also offers easy access to the South West Coast Path.

Step inside from the hustle and bustle of Polruan's narrow street and head upstairs into the cosy lounge with comfy sofas, dual aspect windows and views down to the water. Throw a log or two in the wood burner and watch a film on the Smart TV. Head through to the spacious dining room, perfect for entertaining or playing a board game with the family. From here is the kitchen which is equipped with everything you'll need for your holiday. Upstairs you'll find a gorgeous, large twin bedroom (which can be made up as a super-king on request) with dual aspect windows and views of the estuary, a tastefully furnished double bedroom with freestanding bath in the room, perfect for a long soak after a day rambling the coastline and an en-suite WC. Completing the inside is a family bathroom with a large rainfall shower.

Heading outside from the dining room, you can access the garden via several steps. There is a wonderful patio terrace over several levels with superb views across the estuary and outdoor lighting. Relax in the summerhouse and enjoy an evening tipple or dine alfresco under the star-lit sky. There is an outdoor tap to easily wash off paws or wetsuits.

A lovely cottage with comfy beds. We also enjoyed the summerhouse outside which is a great way to enjoy the outdoors even if temperatures aren't that high. The location in Polruan with it's ferry access to Fowey, is excellent.

Very comfortable stay for three adults and two dogs. The house is clean, comfortable and well equipped. We parked our car in the car park for the week and used the ferries and footpaths to get around, there is also a local bus service. Fowey has so many cafs, restaurants, pubs and shops we were spoiled for choice. Lovely beaches and walks. The gRead morearden is secure for dogs. The neighbours who have access through the garden have a small friendly dog and ours got along fine with it. Hide

Great comfortable cottage for friends & family, plus safe garden area for dogs. Location is excellent, although off-loading & loading luggage from the car was a bit stressful with local traffic. It is a steep climb to the property from the shoreline which won't be suitable for everyone, but we didn't have a problem with it.

Lovely cottage in the heart of the village. A well stocked village shop, two lovely pubs, take away fish/chips, fresh croissants from the bakery! The cottage is very clean and comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped. The large terrace and summer house are a lovely extra. The car park is 35 p/w. Steep walk up and down. However, when we left, wRead moree bought the car down to the cottage to quickly load up. You will need extra loo rolls and dishwasher tabs as the supply is very minimal. Hide

Lovely quaint cottage in a beautiful village, it felt like something out of a book ! It had everything we needed and more. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and a nice dining area. The view from the front room is just stunning looking down to the Quay. The outdoor area was lovely, weather was changeable so not much time spent on the patio, Read moremade use of the summer house though. Passenger ferry to Fowey is great. Lovely walks. Hall walk we enjoyed most. The steep hills kept us fit ! Hide

Lovely old cottage in excellent location. Cosy and well equipped but enough room for everyone to have a little space. Enjoyed the sea views from one of the bedroom windows and terraced garden. Would recommend.

Should have been told where the key box was situated. Detailed instructions on off loading etc that are in the cottage welcome file should have been sent to us beforehand. Also contact number of managing agents in Fowey should have been sent to us before we arrived. Comfortable cottage, beautiful patio area that, in particular, our daughter and herRead more dogs loved. Super views. People in village friendly. We found the steep hill to the car park challenging. Should say no parking on site. Hide

The position of the cottage was great with amazing views. There was an excellent local food store, two cafes with one being a bakers as well and all sold good value products. The two pubs were really good and everyone was very friendly. It'd thoroughly recommend this cottage X
