This substantial waterfront property has been beautifully decorated throughout and is located right on the waters edge with glorious views across the Fowey estuary from the unspoilt village of Poluran. The quaint quay side is on the door step from where you can take a relaxing trip on the passenger ferry to the bustling and fashionable small port of Fowey which is flanked by fourteenth century blockhouses. Should you decide to leave the village to visit more of the area you will not be disappointed as there is so much to see and do, go for a walk on the beautiful coastal path to Lantic Bay then onto Polperro or even Bodinnick where you can catch the ferry back to Fowey and then Polruan. Also within reach is the Eden Project, Lost gardens of Heligan and towns of Looe, Charlestown and Mevagissey. There is always something going on throughout the year from the Fowey regatta to the Polruan carnival.

Enter the property from the enclosed terrace into the light and airy entrance hall, from here you enter the lounge with many original features and views onto the sea, there is comfy seating around the stone fireplace where you can watch the TV, catch a film on the DVD or enjoy the selection of books and games. The dining room with exposed beams also benefits from unrestricted sea views, the large dining table (complete with ship's compass in the middle!) has ample room for everyone and the open fire is perfect for those chillier evenings making it nice and cosy for a family and friends social gathering or that special dinner. For some background music there is an iPod docking station with a switch box controlling separate sets of speakers in the dining room and living room. From here you enter the well planned contemporary kitchen, fully equipped with a double Rayburn, electric oven and hob, combination microwave, American style fridge/freezer and a dishwasher. There is a high bar table with bar stools and a flip down TV/DVD player, perfect place for reading the newspaper with a morning coffee or a glass of wine whilst keeping the cook company. Off the kitchen is a utility area housing the washer/dryer. If you have to catch up on work whilst away there is a study with a large desk and chair and views overlooking the water. Completing the ground floor is a shower room with shower and WC. Take the stairs to the first floor, with a wonderful chandelier and sea views, on this floor you will find three bedrooms, one double bedroom with en-suite shower room with shower and WC, one twin room and one bunk room with en-suite shower room with shower and WC. On the second floor are a further three bedrooms, the master bedroom with a four poster king-size bed, this room benefits from having two doors with one linking to the bunk room which is perfect for parents with young children. One bunk room with en-suite bathroom with bath and shower attachment and WC and one double with en-suite shower room with shower and WC.

Lovely location, good size and easily accommodated our family of 8 (all adults), great getting the little ferry across to Fowey for dinner etc, but do watch out that the limit in the evening is only 12 people! Overall lovely holiday.

The location, property and facilities were great. Great to get up and watch the view across the harbor. Ferry to Fowley every 15 minutes. First time I have ever picked up a takeaway curry by ferry.

This property has an unbeatable location on the quay at Polruan. All rooms have a sea view. It is well equipped and comfortable. Guests need to be mindful of the steep narrow streets and the parking arrangements. It was super to be able to hop on the passenger ferry to Fowey. We thoroughly enjoyed the walks from the property and not needing to use Read morethe cars. Hide

Thankyou for letting us use your holiday home it was lovely. I came with my 3 children and a few grandchildren as we lost my husband and their Dad on the 4th of September this year and he loved Polruan. We might make this a yearly tradition!

What an amazing location. It felt like we had our own personal beach. The kids could run straight out to the beach and we could see them clearly from the front patio. There was a bit of noise from the pub late in the evenings, but nothing that kept any of us awake. The house was beautiful, well equipped and worked well for our group of 9 people. ThRead moree hill to the car park is definitely steep, but it didn't stop us from making trips out. Hide
