We had a very relaxing Christmas in Fishermans cottage. The cottage was clean and beautifully decorated in a great location in the centre of the village, walking distance to 2 pubs, the village shops and the foot ferry to Polruan.

Beautifully clean, well equipped and welcoming cottage in the perfect location. The best we've stayed at in Polruan. Bed super comfortable. Shower large and hot. Dog made very welcome. Would stay again (and hope to very soon!)

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Fishermans Cottage. The place was very clean, comfortable, and surprisingly roomier than we expected. The location was perfect, close to pubs, shops and cafes, and right near the dock/harbour made trips to Fowey a breeze - the fantastic view from the cottage even enabled us to see when the ferry was coming.

We had a great stay in "Fisherman's Cottage". Such a scenic view out of the window. Also our boys loved the place and the little beach in Polruan... The house is very well equipped and the decor is so tasteful Definitely a place to recommend!

The location of the cottage meant views of the river were excellent but accessibility was limited. There is no parking except to load/ unload and the extremely steep hill to the car park would be unsuitable for those with mobility issues. We love boats and enjoyed watching all the activity on the water. A busy boatyard right in front of the cottageRead more began work about 8 each morning and could be noisy. The local shop and pubs had everything needed but the owners had supplied all the essentials. Hide
