  • A traditional reverse level cottage within a beautiful traditional fishing village

  • Located close to the South West Coast Path making it excellent  for walkers
Property code: OC-PC041

Complete with seaside-themed decor and stunning views over the harbour, this property has everything you could need for a coastal escape in Cornwall. Less than a quatre-mile from a local pub, there's no need to cook if you don't want to, plus you're well-positioned with links to the wider Cornwall coast via the A390 if you want to venture further afield.

As soon as you step into the bright and airy interior, you'll feel that refreshing holiday feeling wash over you. The cottage is reverse-level, so you'll climb an open staircase to the open-plan living area with a spectacular view of the river across Polruan. Snuggle up in front of the TV on the comfy sofa after a long day, or take a seat out on the terrace on sunny afternoons: perfect for a glass of wine before sunset.

Polruan is a fantastic place to stay for a quiet retreat, and if you feel like branching out, the passenger ferry departs from The Quay just 200 metres from your door to whisk you across the river to Fowey. You'll find further shops and eateries in Fowey, as well as an aquarium for a great family day out. You could also take a walk along the stunning South West Coast Path from here to Readymoney Cove, for some outstanding views within 1 mile. Further afield, the Eden Project (16 miles) is a must-see, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan (25 miles) is great for children and adults alike.

Cottage is set over three floors. You need to be fit to stay here as there are lots of steps leading up to the property.

The cottage is beautiful and in a gorgeous location with views over the harbour. There are quite a few steps up to the cottage and also a very steep hill back to the car park so if you struggle with walking then you would find this difficult. We loved it and would definitely return.
