This stunning family cottage sits in an enviable elevated position above the town of Polruan and its quaint harbour. Your very own garden trails down the slope towards the river, providing you and your holidaying dogs the perfect pitstop before you head out to take in the treasures of the coast of Cornwall.

The property is a single-storey cottage with a charming mix of modern design and classic seaside style inside. The galley-style kitchen is a cute, well-equipped space with a porthole window. Take your meal through to the sociable dining space in the open-plan living area. With dual aspect windows and French doors leading out to the raised terrace, this space is full of light and energy. In chillier weather, the wood burner transforms the room into a cosy den. Three bedrooms complete the property, including a sweet twin, a warm and inviting double with en-suite shower room, and the master double with a stunning view of the river spreading out below. Head outside to enjoy the unique selling point of this house, an elevated terrace and sloping garden that soaks in the sea breeze, perfect for your dog to make his own.

The village of Polruan is a historic fishing and boat-building community with hillside lanes and a charming quay beside the River Fowey. Take a stroll down to the harbour beach, just metres from your door, or hop on the ferry over the estuary to the town of Fowey. Let your dogs roll around in the sand and splash in the waves in the medieval cove beside St. Catherine’s Castle.

Exceptionally cosy cottage that has everything we needed. We spent many hours just watching the activities in the estuary from the amazing view in the lounge. Such a bonus to our holiday.

This is always our No1 choice for our holiday. Been so many times it feels like home (oh, I wish). Perfect location, stunning views, spacious, airy and surprisingly private as it is barely overlooked by neighbouring properties. Clean & comfortable with plenty of room for all of us and a handy covered area for all our hiking boots. An enclosed gardeRead moren which is so beautiful it's difficult to tear yourself away from the patio & the wonderful views. And to top it off, it has on-site parking! Perfect. Hide

Great stay, stunning views. Need to be physically fit if you want to make use of local shop and pubs and the ferry over to Fowey. Very steep hill back up to bungalow.

We had a fantastic stay at Rosebank Cottage. The location was great, as you have a view from the lounge and garden up the estuary and over to Fowey. We spent many an hour just watching the various sailing activities on the water. The property benefits from parking, which in this village is a real bonus. We hope to visit again in the not too distantRead more future. Hide

A nice bungalow with a great view of the Fowey estuary. Located at the top of the hill and the roads are all quite steep. The property is clean and well furnished.
