Reviews

Fantastic location overlooking the estuary to the river fowey, a lovely property to stay for peace and a relaxing holiday.

Mrs F,

The Ridge was brilliant - clean, tasteful, well equipped with truly amazing views and true to the description. One of our party is rather less mobile but the layout meant she only lad to use stairs at start and end of the day or to go out. She used the exit from the bedroom with the balcony as internal stairs were easier than external steps. The Lugger was friendly and had excellent menu. There was a small amount of parking at the harbour- useful as unmade road to house was not wheelchair friendly (coupled with steep roads down to harbour). All in all - a gem of a property and location.

Mrs S,

Spectacular location with amazing views and unforgettable walks right from the door. Not much in the village/without driving but the ferry over to Fowey is a great fun way to access amenities. Not that it impacted our enjoyment of the property much but, for the information of others booking, the decor is a bit dated and in places things could do with replacing/updating (e.g. sofas, beds) for that bit of additional comfort but it’s a lovely spacious house that had everything we needed and was very clean, spacious and a homely place to spend a week with our young family.

Ms Kate E,

Lovely property with fantastic views peace and quiet ideal for relaxing, a walkers heaven with access to the coastal paths.

Mrs F,

Location

Polruan's position on a headland jutting out into the estuary meant that it once had great importance as a lookout point.  Now, visitors can share the same commanding views from the headland looking out to sea, and across to Fowey on the far bank.

Up here is also the spectacularly beautiful Headland Garden, which has unexpectedly become known for more exotic flora than you might expect to find in this little corner of Cornwall.  This has allowed it to be discovered and promoted far and wide.

While up here, gazing out into the distance, you may spot sea birds and other wildlife, and maybe even the odd seal.  Much of the area is not only an AONB, but also a Special Area of Conservation, so that it can be preserved for future generations.

Like most villages in the area, the primary industry has always been fishing, however the locals are very welcoming to visitors, and tourism has taken its place.

Walkers will find the landscape to be ideal for hiking, or if you prefer just a gentle stroll, there are lots of options available.  Upon your return, you can relax with a meal or drink in The Lugger Inn, or hop on the ferry and visit one of the pubs or cafes in Fowey.
