The cottage is good, the equipment also good. Beds are comfortable and the bathrooms fine. Just lookout for the changes in room levels, there are steps everywhere.

Despite inclement weather we really enjoyed the cottage. It was most probably the best equipped holiday home we have encountered. Its locus to the foot ferry and the lugger pub was excellent and we enjoyed both, the off road car parking a bonus. We gave an electric car which I was permitted on request to charge up at the premises for an appropriateRead more fee. Our dog loved the enclosed rear garden. It also has a very friendly neighbour John who assisted with the rubbish bins and gave excellent advice. Hide

Stayed two weeks and although weather was a little unkind at times, enjoyed our stay. Having all rooms en-suite a real bonus. Parking for two cars was good. As stated by others, the hill to the quay was steep but we coped. Wonderful views from the quay and walks around the village. Really good service on both the car and passenger ferries.

Ivy Crag is a wonderful, spacious, and very well equipped home. We spent a delightful week in Polruan with three of our grandchildren. The home is very clean and comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need to cook for a family. We did a grocery shop in Liskard on the way, but the little store in the village has all the basics and more. JaneRead more was very responsive with questions. I would highly recommend this home. Just be aware that it is a hike up the hill from the quay! Hide

A wonderful place to stay close to all amenities. This property is by far the best we have stayed in so far on our journey around Britain. Every property we have stayed in has been unique in its own way but this one was beautifully appointed and myself and my Wife both said as we walked in it felt like home. Thankyou.
