Wake up to the sound of the sea at this peaceful coastal haven above Polruan, with space for a large group of family or friends and stunning views from the house and garden. It’s close to the coastal path with incredible walks and beaches nearby and has lots of space with a lounge, TV room, dining room, conservatory, kitchen, four bedrooms, and three bathrooms.

The house is in an amazing setting and makes a very welcoming home from home. Relax in the lounge, with a TV and DVD player, in the TV/coffee room, which has a second TV, a large desk and a comfy sofa, or in the conservatory, where there are panoramic views. Cook up a feast for everyone in the spacious kitchen and enjoy it in the dining room, where the huge window provides awesome views. There’s also a handy shower room and WC downstairs. Upstairs are the four lovely bedrooms: two twins (one has a small balcony with a sea view), a double and a king with an en-suite bathroom; as well as a family bathroom. Soak up the views in the terraced garden with drinks on the patio as the sun goes down.

The picturesque coast path is just metres from the house, where you might spot seals and you will see sea birds and other wildlife. For a lovely walk with amazing views, head to Polperro (7 miles) along the cliff tops. Two of Cornwall’s highlights are nearby, the Eden Project (7.5 miles) and the Lost Gardens of Heligan (23.5 miles). Spend the day on the beach, hop on a ferry across from the quay (500 metres) to visit Fowey, then call in at the local pub (0.5 miles) on your way home for some hearty fare.

Wonderfully situated house in need of some basic creature comforts. New mattresses/beds are a must!

The location of this property is the best attribute - the views are stunning and the house is designed to appreciate these views from the rear of the house. Whilst the views are superb the location is as the name suggests at the top of a ridge which may be difficult for some people to access. There is very little in the way of supplies in the vilRead morelage, one small shop which doesnt have extended opening hours. It is also advised to ensure the route is on the larger roads as satnav can take you down small impassable tracks. Having said that for hikers and those who appreciate these spectacular views, you wont find a better location. Hide

My wife and I had a superb holiday at the Ridge. A lovely home in a fantastic location. Plenty to do in the area and the best view ever. We will be returning to the Ridge.

Comfortable and very flexible cottage but this is all about the location, beautiful views out to sea and to Mevagissy from the living rooms, bedrooms, garden. Boddinick ferry better than driving the long way round.

An excellent location with glorious uninterrupted views of the coastline. Delightful holiday stay in a tastefully furnished and well equipped cottage. Beautiful walks straight from the doorstep and a short walk into the village. Would definitely stay here again.
