Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway or a small family escape, this cosy cottage is perfectly positioned for an idyllic Cornish escape. Of course, it’s no holiday without the whole pack, so bring your furry friends along for walkies across one of the country’s most picturesque landscapes. Enjoy the many footpaths from the doorstep, including the famous South West Coast Path which stretches for a staggering 630 miles.
Designed with a reverse-style layout, this cottage makes the most of its beautiful River Fowey views. From the first-floor open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, relax and watch the boats go by each morning as you sip your coffee. Or why not step out onto the large balcony and enjoy an al fresco breakfast? From the lounge, steps lead up to a mezzanine level with a daybed -- a welcome spot for curling up with a good book on a rainy afternoon. You’ll find the two bedrooms on the ground floor, both with stable doors to a delightful decked patio area. There’s even a frape available for a small boat.
Polruan’s tidal sandy beach lies just 1.5 miles from the property, but for beach days with your pups head to nearby Ready Money Cove (5 miles) or Lantic Bay (1.5 miles); here they’ll go mutts for the gentle waves and digging in the soft sand. The hidden cove at Lansallos is also a must-see. Hop on the ferry to Fowey (4 miles) and explore the town’s popular circular walk, discovering the pretty villages en-route and stopping for refreshments at the country pubs. Of course, no visit to Cornwall is complete without a trip to the Eden Project (16 miles), where you can explore the grounds with your hounds, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan (24.5 miles).
