Property code: OC-N29511

Spend special time together in pretty Polruan, watching the boats drift in and out and basking in the Cornish sunshine. This outstanding, three-storey house sleeps eight guests across four bedrooms and is an ideal option for a group of friends or relatives. Overlooking the harbour at Polruan, it captures sea views from inside and out and makes a fabulous base for coastal walks and days on the beach.

Enter this period retreat to shuffle off your shoes in the hall before discovering two of your bedrooms, a double and a king-size, at ground-floor level - both with en suite facilities, plus there is also a convenient WC/utility room on this floor. Follow a steep staircase down to your main living space, and find a sociable, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner where you can prepare heart feasts for your group when you choose not to eat out, then gather round the table for lively holiday meals together. Settle on the comfortable seating to chat, play games or watch the Smart TV. Open the door to your outside space on fine days to bring in a sea breeze. Some members of your party might also like to enjoy a little quiet time up in the first-floor reading room, where you will also find two further bedrooms - a double bedroom and a super-king-size that can also be made up as a twin by prior discussion are also up here. Completing this floor is the newly refurbished family bathroom which will have a freestanding bath, separate walk in shower and WC. When outside, keep an eye on children at all times on the patio as it is not enclosed. Light the BBQ and take in the views as supper sizzles. Sit out on the balcony with a glass of something cold.

Catch the ferry from Polruan over to Fowey to stroll through its delightful streets, shop and dine out or take a guided boat trip or sea safari. The historic harbour of Charlestown is close by, as well as fishing villages of Polperro and Looe. Plan a trip to the fascinating Eden Project, 9.5 miles away if you take the Bodinnick car ferry.

We had such a brilliant week at Harbourside. We booked for 50th birthday celebrations and really couldnt have found a more perfect spot for a special milestone. The views from the terrace and every room are stunning, the bedrooms very comfortable and the fresh flowers such a lovely touch. The owners were so helpful too. There are so many walks, pubRead mores and places to see its impossible to fit everything into a week. We will be back soon for more fun in the sun! Hide

We were 4 adults, 3 older teenage children (16,17,18) and a dog. We loved the cottage, particularly the en-suite bathrooms and the terrace, the thoughtful abundance of fresh flowers in every room and the gift basket. The kitchen had everything we needed. The low doorways were a challenge for those of us over 6 ft, but the views from every window Read moreat every time of day were spectacular! We loved Polruan and enjoyed returning to the quiet side after time in Fowey. We walked to Polkerris from Fowey and along to Lantic Bay and Palace Cove; both beautiful. The pub quiz at The Russell Inn was fiendish but fun. All in all we had a superb week, thank you! Hide

Wonderful holiday home. Beautifully furnished, exceptionally comfortable and very well equipped, stunning views from all rooms and the two terrace areas. Hosts were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to help if we had any questions or needed anything. Would recommend.

Wow what an incredible stay we had! The most beautiful cottage and with the most magical view. The fresh flowers were such a nice touch on arrival, along with the welcome basket of goodies. I couldn't recommend this place more - even with the tiresome walk up to the car park (which didn't matter to us - we just loved Polruan). Can't wait to come baRead moreck and make even more memories one day in this perfect place. Hide

Beautiful cottage set over three floors, with beautiful views from every window, lovely outside seating areas, gorgeous internal decor. Just to note Polruan is a working port so there is early morning ship repair noise.
