Property code: OC-N29511

If your top dogs love to scamper along the seashore and go for walkies, this lovely period house overlooking historic Polruan Harbour will set tails wagging. The pet-friendly property sleeps eight humans and two canine companions, with spectacular, far-reaching sea and river views from every room. Perfect for families or groups of friends sharing, it sits within 100 metres of shops, pubs and the sea, and is a short passenger ferry ride across the river to the delightful town of Fowey. Dog-friendly beaches are within easy reach and the glorious South West Coast Path offers splendid scenic walks for energetic pups and owners alike.

The hallway of this stylish and beautifully furnished, three-storey holiday home opens to a shower room and two bedrooms: a welcoming double with an en-suite bathroom and an inviting king-size with en suite shower room with walk in shower and WC. A steep staircase leads down to the airy open-plan living space, comprising comfortable seating and a wonderful harbour view from the lounge. A step up leads to the country-style dining area alongside a streamlined kitchen. The first floor houses a stylish family bathroom with free standing bath, separate walk in shower and WC plus two bedrooms: a super king-size which can be made into twin beds on request, and a double. Outside a patio overlooks the harbour – please supervise children, as this is not enclosed – and a balcony with seating.

While Polruan’s small beach is not open to dogs, your pets can run free at Par Sands and Polridmouth Cove, both within 7 miles. The National Trust’s dog-friendly Lantic Bay (1 mile) is worth the 1-mile walk and steep cliff path for its unspoiled white sands and turquoise waters. Furry friends are welcome on boat trips up the Fowey Estuary and salty sea dogs will enjoy the ferry across St Austell Bay to picturesque Mevagissey. The village is just 2 miles from the beautiful, dog-friendly Lost Gardens of Heligan and the renowned Eden Project is 14.5 miles from your holiday home.

  • 4 bedrooms – 1 zip-and-link super-king-size bed (can be made up as a twin on request), 1 king-size bed and 2 doubles
  • 3 bathrooms – 1 en-suite bathroom with shower over bath and WC, 1 en suite shower room with walk in shower and WC and 1 family bathroom with free standing bath, separate walk in shower and WC.  There is also a convenient WC on the ground floor.
  • Electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher
  • Utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer
  • Travel cot and highchair available
  • Smart TV in the lounge
  • Terrace with seating and Weber BBQ overlooking the harbour, and balcony with seating
  • Parking available in local car park at the top of the village (subject to availability and charges apply)
  • Quay beach, shop and pub within 100 metres
  • Please note, there are steep cottage-style stairs from kitchen to first floor
  • There are many small winding streets that are not suitable for cars
  • Children will need to be supervised at all times due to garden area not being enclosed

Wonderful holiday home. Beautifully furnished, exceptionally comfortable and very well equipped, stunning views from all rooms and the two terrace areas. Hosts were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to help if we had any questions or needed anything. Would recommend.

Wow what an incredible stay we had! The most beautiful cottage and with the most magical view. The fresh flowers were such a nice touch on arrival, along with the welcome basket of goodies. I couldn't recommend this place more - even with the tiresome walk up to the car park (which didn't matter to us - we just loved Polruan). Can't wait to come baRead moreck and make even more memories one day in this perfect place. Hide

Beautiful cottage set over three floors, with beautiful views from every window, lovely outside seating areas, gorgeous internal decor. Just to note Polruan is a working port so there is early morning ship repair noise.
