Overview
Property code: 83821

Nestled on the waters edge boasting spectacular River views this property is the perfect retreat for families and friends looking to enjoy time away at the Cornish Coast.

Bursting with character, this Grade II-listed former captain’s house offers guests a unique place to stay in a charming Cornish fishing village. Located in Polruan on the South Cornish coast, families and friends can soak up the rich maritime history of the area, whilst immersing themselves in the natural beauty of the coastline. Amongst its narrow streets and steep alleyways, Polruan has maintained its historic charm with a range of shops/eateries, but you can also explore the harbour town of Fowey which can be accessed via the ferry.

From the moment you approach the front door, this property is a feast for the eyes with its original features, quirky décor and eclectic colour palette. Whether you’re reclining in front of the wood burner in the lounge, cooking or dining together in the kitchen/diner or enjoying the rooftop and harbour views from the garden, you will feel as though you are experiencing a slice of Cornish history. As you’d expect from a property like this, the rooms are spacious, including the three bedrooms. Completing the accommodation is a bathroom with roll-top bath.

Steeped in history, Polruan has a variety of interesting landmarks and buildings and is a great base from which to explore this part of Cornwall. Its independent shops, restaurants and pubs are within a few hundred metres of the property. Venturing further afield, keen walkers can head east along the South West Coast Path to the National Trust’s Lantic Bay (1.5 miles) for a day on the beach or a little further on to Polperro (6.5 miles). For yet more natural beauty and winding streets, take the Bodinnick ferry to bustling Fowey (4 miles). A little further away, but worth the drive, are the Eden Project (16.5 miles) and the Lost Gardens of Heligan (25 miles).

A lovely cottage with an amazing view over the harbour and across to Fowey. We thoroughly enjoyed our week here (2 adults, 2 children 11 and 14, 1 dog). Very nice welcome treats on arrival and everything was clean, comfortable and in good condition. Friendly village with shop, cafe, bakers and 2 welcoming pubs. Ferry across to Fowey very frequent aRead morend reliable. Hide

A fantastic location - an absolute joy taking in the view. Easy ferry trip to Fowey for restaurants and beach. Those of you reading previous comments about the low wall need not worry as a lovely glass screen has been installed to give a 'wall' without affecting the great views. Not a garden suitable for ball games , fantastic for chilling. Care neRead moreeded driving down the lane to the parking space. Great coastal walks nearby. We had a lovely week there Hide

We have had a perfect two week stay at this charming cottage. The location was ideal and we enjoyed going out on walks or catching the ferry to Fowey and Mevagissey. We also caught the local bus to Polperro which is a lovely place to visit. We would also recommend a trip out to Bodmin jail, it was not at all what I expected and well worth the moneyRead more. There are two local pubs. The Lugger inn needs to be booked for meals. Both pubs are in walking distance. Loved our stay in Polruan. Hide

Amazing view from garden. Property nice and roomy. Polruan is a lovely little village, although the steep streets and steps can be challenging. Ferry to Fowey very useful.

Lovely area but difficult to drive to/park at. This aspect changed our plans for the trip as we did not feel able to take the car out frequently. Very easy to get the ferry across to Fowey which is a lovely day out. The view from the property is lovely. Garden not suitable for children/dogs, but especially the former. The wall is only a foot or twoRead more high with a long drop the other side, so not ideal with young children. Hide

This cottage is in a lovely location with fantastic views. The cottage itself was very clean and had a well equipped kitchen and nice bathrooms. There are the expected quirks from such an old property like very steep stairs, odd patch of damp, low door frames ( watch your head). The outside space and uncomfortable garden furniture let this propertyRead more down a bit, which is a shame as it could be wonderful. Hide

If you have a larger car you may need to reverse down the narrow lane that accesses the property as with other cars parked in their parking spaces in the lane there is no where to turn round.
