Overview
Property code: PC046

Overlooking the landmark Polruan Quay, with beautiful views over the Fowey River, this comfortable cottage has a bright and serene feel and a great location set within the heart of village.  It's your South Cornwall getaway for beach days, breathtaking coastal walking on the South West Coast Path and days out exploring. After a quiet meander down lanes to arrive, the slower pace of life will wash over you and you'll soon be in holiday mode.

This stone-built, attached property is set over three floors and perfectly sized for a smaller family. The overall feel is calm and restful, the kids will love the cute arched doorway to the twin bedroom. But it's those harbour views that visitors remember – the large window in the lounge is just the place to sit with a coffee, watching the boats come and go. From the compact yet well equipped kitchen diner, the whole family can enjoy cooking and eating together. The local village amenities are right on your door step, with the 2 village pubs and tea room a stones throw away.

Local beaches really are local – Polruan's town beach is 50 metres from your door, and Readymoney Cove in Fowey is half a mile from the ferry step. Over in Fowey there are more shops, galleries and restaurants, you can also hire a boats or try mackerel fishing. If you are keen walkers why not try the much-loved ‘Hall Walk', a circular 4-mile route including two ferry rides, 3 pubs on route, peaceful waterside views and winding wooded slopes. For a day out combining fascinating animals and a classic Cornish seaside village, Looe is within 10 miles by car and the Monkey Sanctuary is 4 miles further.

Lovely cottage over three floors, close to the beach and foot ferry. Our dog did NOT like the spiral stair to the master bedroom - her loss! Management team were on hand for any queries we had. Our son loved the "tunnel" through the low door to the twin room to what he called his "Den". It was also a lovely touch to get a call from the owner prior Read moreto arriving to let us know local info about access, parking and suchlike - I grew up in Polruan, so knew what to expect but most folks wouldn't.

Lovely little cottage overlooking the quay in quaint little village. The only downside is there is no parking and to get to your car in the carpark, you have to walk all up hill

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we have booked the same weeks next year. The position is excellent as it meant we were near the shop, bakery, pubs and ferry.

Nice place to stay right next to the sea. Can park at the top of the hill, best for people that are able to easily walk/ no mobility problems due to no parking next to the house, small door into second bedroom, and tight spiral stairs to downstairs bedroom

Relaxing last minute break in comfy, well equipped 3 storey cottage. Ideally located at Polruan Quay with fabulous views of the harbour, river & Fowey. A few steps and you're in one of the 2 village pubs, cafe, bakery & village store. This cottage is ideally located for catching 1 of the little foot ferry boats over to Fowey for a wander or join thRead moree South West coast path. There isn't any parking at the cottage but you can drop your luggage & shopping & park your car back at the top in carpark. Hide

What an amazing location! Close to two pubs and the quay which turns into a small sandy beach at low tide. Ferry to Fowey goes from the key, at most a two minute walk away. Second bedroom was perfect for my two boys. The only bathroom is a very small shower room on the lower floor. Parking is up the hill (I actually lost weight on holiday! And I owRead moree this to the hill). And a bus service runs mid week from the square outside the house. Hide
