  • Situated at the junction of Fore Street, West Street and East Street,  in the heart of the bustling and historic village of Polruan with stunning views of the estuary and harbour directly from the property over to Fowey

  • Sleeping 2+2, perfect for romantic getaways, or a cosy family holiday
Property code: OC-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.

We enjoyed our holiday in Quay Cottage which is ideally located to explore both sides of the Fowey estuary. The main bedroom was comfortably cool during the very hot weather.

A great quirky little cottage where you are in the heart of the village. It is lovely to wake up to the sounds of the boatyard, the estuary and the cafe.

Enjoyed staying at this cottage. Location was good. Next to 2 good pubs, serving enjoyable food, beer & wine. Very much enjoyed ferry journey to Fowey. Polruan is close to many places you would enjoy visiting. Accommodation was comfortable & furnished to a good standard. Please be aware that the Car Park we used for the week was a 8-10 minutes walkRead more to the the top of Polruan at a cost of 35. The journey up at first was tiring but became my daily exercise. We enjoyed our Holiday, staying here Hide

Great location. Lovely little cottage right by the bustling quay and a short, frequent ferry to Fowey. Cottage had everything we needed. Two local vibe pubs within metres with great ale and classic pub food (ferry to fowey provides better dining options!). Owner very helpful prior to visit and cottage had everything we needed. Lovely coastal walks Read more(Gribbin, Lantic, bus to Polperro walk back, Bodinnick, Polkerris - did them all!) and swimming at Lantic or Readymoney (good for kids). Hide

Great location, easy to drop off and pick up, everything's close including a hope over to Fowey vai the ferry, local shop, bakery and pubs all brilliant and friendly. So nice just to leave the front door and 10 steps later sitting on the quay with a small glass... Polruan is such a lovely spot, you can escape the chaos of Fowey to the tranquillity Read moreof Polruan. Hide

Polruan is a beautiful village but very remote to get to due to the minor roads to get there. The accommodation is as it says is right on the quay and very quirky, it was too odd a layout for us 2 and I'd say not really suitable for 4 Adults. I thought the overall equipment was very basic and we were cold as the heating was inadequate through out.

Pretty little village with excellent amenities. The cottage has everything you need and is central to everything, so if you're after peace and quiet, this might not be the place for you. We spent a very enjoyable week here - thank you!
