Enjoy a taste of coastal living in this traditional Cornish cottage in the heart of the ancient fishing village of Polruan. Offering flexible accommodation for four guests and welcoming two contented canines, this coastal abode is ideal for a family getaway or a relaxing stay with friends. After days ambling around fishing harbours and chilling on the beach, return here to watch the sunset from the spacious terrace.
Located on one of Polruan’s busy, narrow streets, step inside to find a world of calm. Original features blend seamlessly with contemporary comforts, while a subtle marine wildlife theme runs throughout the decor of the light-filled rooms. With dual-aspect windows and an original fireplace with a wood burner, the lounge is bright and welcoming, with comfortable sofas to sink into post-adventures and gaze down the pretty street. The kitchen has everything you need to rustle up tasty meals with all that delicious local produce, then gather around the dining table for fun family mealtimes. Alternatively, dine alfresco on the multi-level terrace, drinking in those harbour views, before snuggling in the summerhouse with a glass of something chilled to round off your day. A freestanding bathtub in the double bedroom invites a delicious soak before getting cosy under the covers, while the second bedroom can be made up as a twin or super-king-size room. A family bathroom completes this charming property.
Famous for its boatbuilding heritage, Polruan has an unspoilt charm with narrow cobbled streets and a handful of pubs, shops and restaurants. Head to the top of the village to pick up the South West Coast Path, or catch the passenger ferry over to the larger town of Fowey. Here, you’ll find a fishing harbour, historical attractions including a castle, and more shops and eateries. You’re also perfectly placed for visiting other famous Cornish attractions, including the Eden Project (12 miles).
