Soak up the awesome views at this gorgeous, family-friendly detached house looking across the sea to Readymoney cove. With four bedrooms, a spacious living room, and a ground floor bedroom and shower room it’s ideal for a large group of friends or family of all ages, plus their canine companion. Located on the edge of Polruan, there are stunning walks, pretty towns, and amazing attractions nearby.

This gem of a property has been carefully thought out to make sure you have a comfortable stay and has awesome views from the garden, sitting room and main bedrooms. The living room has bags of space to relax, chat and watch TV, and a cosy electric fire. Cook dinner in the spacious kitchen/diner and eat together at the funky dining table and benches. There’s a utility room for laundry and a cloakroom with a WC. One twin bedroom is on the ground floor and there’s a shower room downstairs too.

All of the bedrooms have wardrobes. Enjoy dinner on the patio and your morning coffee from the cute seats at the back.

Gather the kids and dogs and head out for a walk along the stunning coastal path to Lansallos Cove (3 miles), where you can swim and sunbathe – it’s worth the climb past Blackbottle Rock on to Pencarrow Headland.

We loved our stay - the view was absolutely breathtaking, and the accommodation offered plenty of space, a secure garden, and convenient parking (suitable for one medium-to-large car or two smaller cars). Unfortunately, the bed in the main bedroom was extremely firm, to the point of being uncomfortable for us. Of course, comfort is subjective, but Read morein our opinion a high-quality soft mattress topper would make a big difference, while still allowing guests who prefer a firmer bed the option to remove it. I would recommend the property but with this as a caveat! Hide

The view from this holiday home is stunning - it really did make the stay. The living room is very comfortable and has that unbeatable view - as do two of the bedrooms upstairs - its amazing. The house was adequately equipped but bear in mind we arrived to no washing up liquid, cloths or basic things like milk - so bring those with you. If you haveRead more any aches or pains, the main bedroom also has a very very firm mattress so bare that in mind too. The location cant be faulted though - although its quite steep (you really need to be able to walk up and down hills with ease), you are right in the coast path and its a 10min stroll downhill to the foot ferry over to Fowey- just runs all day (and evening in the summer). Everyone locally was lovely and there is a well equipped store in Polruan for basic needs and a great takeaway fish and chip place too. Wed recommend walking along the coast path to Lantic Bay - its incredibly steep but breathtakingly beautiful and because its steep, quite quiet. Otherwise Ready Money Cove over in Fowey is great but it does get busy. Overall we really enjoyed our stay but bare those points above in mind if you book. Hide

Southcliff is without doubt one of the loveliest places we have stayed in the South West and we have been coming down to Cornwall and Devon for many many years. It is light and spacious and incredibly well equipped. The best thing about it though, is its location - walks from the door, right on the coast path and easy access to foot and car ferriesRead more for travelling further west. A short drive will even take you over to the north side of Cornwall to Padstow and the beaches of Bedruthan Steps and Crantock Bay where the early Summer Poppies are a must at West Pentire. Lantic bay is a short hike along the coast path and the steep decent is well worth the trouble. The Hall walk is wonderful taking in Polruan, Bodinic and Fowey via two ferry rides,(early in Spring the woddland paths are lined with wild garlic and primroses), and the longer walk over to Gribbin Head Daymark and Polkerris is beautiful with a view at every turn. The views from the house are simply sublime so wet or dry there is always something to gaze at from the windows or in the garden. Hide
