Perfectly positioned in the quaint fishing village of Polruan, this traditional two-bedroom cottage is ideal for couples or small families, including their canine companions, with the village amenities only a short walk away. Stroll to the dog-friendly pub to sample some of the local ales or pick up a tasty treat in the bakery to share as you watch the boats bob along the river. Take the lead along the coastal path to the popular village of Polperro (6 miles), or to Lansallos Beach (4 miles) where dogs are welcome all year round.

Step through the small porch where you will find space to hang up coats and leads and to clean up muddy paws. Prepare delicious dinners in the compact, yet well-equipped, kitchen (mind your head on the low ceiling) to share in the bright and airy dining room. For cosy evenings in, curl up on the comfortable sofa to watch TV or a DVD and switch on the electric wood burner-effect fire for your hound to enjoy. When it’s time for bed, take the stairs to the first floor. The double bedroom benefits from fabulous views across the estuary and there is a generous single with additional pull-out bed. The family bathroom is also on this floor. There is no outside space with the cottage, however, the quay is only a short walk away. There is a luggage drop off point less than 250 metres away and parking is available in the nearby car park (charges apply).

There are walks from the doorstep along the coastal path where you can enjoy spectacular scenery and sniff out the perfect picnic spot. Catch the ferry to neighbouring Fowey where you can delight in strolls along the estuary or walk through the woodland to 16th-century St Catherine’s Castle. Take the lead in exploring Wheal Martyn (20.5 miles) where you can follow the trails across the landscape and discover Cornwall’s mining past.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cosy cottage with glorious views. We recieved a very warm welcome in Polruan and enjoyed many local walks and visiting Fowey on the passenger ferry. The cottage was clean and tidy and in a perfect spot. The Lugger pub was excellent for food with a super Sunday lunch and the little cafe down the street providedRead more a lovely breakfast. The cottage was really well equipped and the welcome box of goodies was much appreciated and enjoyed. Exceeded expectations. Hide

Ideally situated, you could never tire of the view from Bosun's Cottage. What a sight to wake up to every morning. The cottage is compact but comfortable and very well equipped for self catering. A lovely welcome pack of Cornish treats was waiting for us on arrival. Would recommend Bosun's Cottage to any couple wanting to enjoy the best of CornwallRead more. Hide

Cottage smelt of damp and despite having windows open this didn't dissipate the whole week. Dirty pan with oil left in cooker! No instructions for how to use cooker. Had to buy fly spray which was 4.75. No local supermarket, village one too expensive for whole week, nearest was in St. Austell which meant car ferry over to Fowey. Just extra expense Read morewhich we expected but still a bit steep. West street is like a thoroughfare so people constantly going by. No chairs to look out disappointing Hide

Cottage was absolutely lovely. It is suited to the area and perfectly located! Beautiful views from main bedroom. Lovely pub just a quick walk away, access to ferry to Fowey. Just a lovely chilled week away. Only issue was climbing up the hill to the car park, stopping every few minutes to admire the view helped though!
