Perched above Polruan harbour, this charming cottage is a welcoming retreat where lazy days can be spent on the patio with a glass of something chilled watching colourful fishing boats bobbing about in the river below. No matter which room you choose to stay in, the incredible coastal views are sure to make Amelia Cottage a Cornish getaway to remember.
Spread over three floors, the interiors are cosy and characterful. As the sunlight starts to fade, snuggle up in the warmth of the lounge with the crackling flames of the wood burner providing a soothing backdrop. Watch the golden rays fade over the estuary through the lounge window, before settling down to a film or a traditional board game; this cottage is all about good old-fashioned family fun.
After exploring the labyrinth of ancient narrow streets within Polruan, hop on the passenger ferry to Fowey where you can grab a bite to eat, indulge in some souvenir shopping or take the South West Coast Path to Polperro (7 miles), passing by sandy coves and outstanding coastal scenery. If you're seeking a family-friendly day out, drive to The Eden Project (15 miles) where you can discover the world's largest indoor rainforest.
