This is a beautifully well appointed cottage, spotlessly clean and had everything we could have wanted. Huge comfy superking bed in the master room with good quality bedsheets. Cute and sunny little courtyard to sit out in the evenings when you get home. Very communicative owner, sending clear instructions before arrival. Polruan itself is so lovelRead morey and quiet and everyone is friendly in the shop and cafe. The ferry to Fowey runs every 15minutes until 11pm and only takes 5 minutes so is really convenient. Car park is a bit of a climb, but will work off all the extra calories you will take on with cream trays and pasties at every turn. Hide

A beautifully presented, well equipped house, hidden away, as its name suggests, but ideally placed for all local amenities and not far from the car park, if you dont mind hills, but thats Polruan!

A lovely cottage in a quiet location, tucked away and very special. The hill is quite something and worked our leg muscles, but that's all part of the experience. The house itself has everything you need - and more - and we would be very happy to return sometime.

Lovely cosy comfortable cottage, tucked away from it and very peaceful. Would definitely recommend it! There are two fab local pubs a few minutes walking distance away, a local shop and bakery and coffee shop virtually across the road so, everything is to hand! Polruan also has a lovely working harbour and small beach. There are also loads of amaziRead moreng walks and great places to visit all nearby such as Fowey, Polperro and the costal walk is amazing which every way you go. Hide

We had a great stay here. Cottage is lovely and well kitted out. We stayed for 5 nights with our toddler and it was great that we were provided with baby gates, travel cot and Highchair sling. We felt the cottage was very homely and would recommend.

This is a lovely cottage, beautiful and very comfortable. It was spotless and had everything we needed. It is in a great location in Polruan and the courtyard garden is perfect. The space in the cottage is really good and very relaxed. A great cottage and a lovely place.
