Overview
Property code: OC-CGART2

Gartree Cottage is a beautiful cottage in a quiet position just a hundred yards from the water's edge in Polruan. With a modern, stylish feel, the property has great views of the harbour, as well as a small patio garden and private parking. The quay, shops and two characterful inns serving food are just a short walk away. It is an 'upside down' house designed to maximise the amazing views of the river.

Built on a hillside, Polruan's picturesque narrow lanes are peaceful and unspoilt and virtually car free. From the quay, visitors can hop on a ferry to the sailing town of Fowey famous for its yearly Regatta. This is Daphne du Maurier country and the acclaimed Fowey Festival attracts many to its talks, walks, plays and poetry. Surrounded by miles of beautiful coast and countryside, opportunities for walking abound. There is a particularly scenic 1.5 mile coastal walk to sandy Lantic Bay, and the deservedly popular Hall Walk will take you from Polruan to Fowey via Bodinnick and two ferries. Nearby beaches include Readymoney Cove, Lantic Bay and Polkerris. Both the famous Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are within easy driving distance.

Gartree Cottage can be rented out with Chapel Mead next door for a larger group (sleeping 14 in total).

Garttee Cottage was in a great location. The reason for scoring is as follows. The garden could be lovely but access is difficult so we didnt use it. Maybe some more accessible steps and/or pretty up the front garden? The soft furnishings were okay but the sofa has seen better days! The water pressure was excellent. The cottage had everything we nRead moreeeded. Minimalist but we like that. One small point, you cant check in until 5pm which seems very late considering the cost and the local shop closes at 5pm so at least leave some tea bags and milk on arrival for guests. A nice gesture or move check in to 4pm which is more usual for similar rentals. Thank you for a great stay. Hide
