Overlooking the River Fowey, this light and airy traditional townhouse boasts spacious accommodation with exceptional sea views, just a short stroll to the bustling quayside of Polruan where you will find a selection of independent stores and the friendly village inn. Join the South West Coast Path and spend your day hiking along the coastline in search of the perfect picnic spot before returning to relax in front of the cottage’s living room wood burner.

Reached via a short flight of external steps, step into the entrance hallway off which you will find two of the well-appointed bedrooms and family bathroom. Take the stairs to the first floor where the open-plan living space enjoys estuary views. Cook up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen, share meals around the large dining table and relax in the comfy seating as the logs crackle in the wood burner. A further bedroom can be found on this floor while steep cottage stairs lead to the second floor and the king-size master bedroom. Outside, steps lead to the patio and fully enclosed lawn, perfect for alfresco dining and relaxed evenings taking in the views.

There are a host of walks from picturesque Polruan, including the spectacular coastal ‘Hall Walk’ through peaceful woodlands and along tranquil creeks. From Polruan, catch the passenger ferry to neighbouring Fowey to browse the artisan shops and galleries or discover the local marine life at the aquarium. Hop onboard one of the boat trips that run from the harbour, setting sail along the river or along the coastline. Further afield, spend the day splashing in the surf at stunning Polkerris Beach (6.5 miles).

This is a well-sited house, with stunning views over the river. The decor is light, airy and beautifully low-key. It is spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with good nights' sleeps had by all. A fabulous stay.

For our week in beautiful Polruan there was rain and then there was sunshine but. that didn't matter as this home caters for both..we spent our time either looking out from the lounge at all the boats and activity on the estuary or sitting in the garden when the weather did behave and we weren't out exploring. The house is stunning with amazing batRead morehrooms and quality beds and the sociable layout suited us. The owners have thought of everything Hopefully we will be back next year. Thank you! Hide

A lovely cottage well positioned in Polruan with views across to Fowey. Great facilities for large groups or families. Very clean and tidy with lovely garden at the back.

The cottage is lovely. Very flexible accommodation for families with members of differing ages. We are an extended Polruan family going back hundreds of years (wellingtons, Callahan and Salt) and have stayed in Polruan with up to 28 family members every year at this time (apart from covid) since 1994. Between us we have stayed in at least 50 rentalRead mores and have seen the apartments improve over time. The Knot for me keeps the character of the houses and is one of the very best standards.

The views are stunning & the bed super comfortable (top floor) but the house is nowhere near a 4 star rating. The interior is extremely tired & grubby & decorations cheap & of poor quality.

First class accommodation. Spotlessly clean and in a lovely location overlooking the harbour. Local pubs are a short walk away as is the ferry over to Fowey.

Well equipped house with great views . We frequently visit Polruan and this house ticked all the boxes for comfort and location, very near the centre but not a too steep walk to the Carpark. We were four adults a baby and a dog and the house suited us perfectly. We always book a house that sleeps more than we require to ensure we have plenty of livRead moreing space and this worked well. We would happily stay again. Hide
