Only steps from the quayside of Polruan village, this cosy two-bedroom cottage is the ideal destination for friends or families, including canine members, seeking a relaxing base from which to explore the South Cornwall coastline. Hop on the passenger ferry to Fowey for a hike to St Catherine’s Castle before stopping for refreshments in one of the dog-friendly traditional pubs. Wander through the woodlands of the Luxulyan Valley (14 miles) and dip your paws in one of the many babbling brooks along the way.
Enjoying a quiet location just off the quay, your traditional cottage offers comfortable accommodation arranged over three floors. Entering into the first floor, your kitchen/diner is a cosy room with exposed ceiling beams and whitewashed walls. It comes equipped with everything you need to prepare hearty meals to share at the rustic dining table. Designed to take advantage of the fabulous views, your lounge is on the second floor, where you can curl up on one of the comfy sofas with your hound at your feet and watch the boats bob on the river. Through a low doorway off the lounge you will find a cosy twin bedroom nestled in the eaves. Reached via a spiral staircase from the kitchen, the master king-size bedroom with en-suite shower room is on the ground floor. Although there is no outside space at the cottage, the quay is only steps away. Parking is available at the nearby public car parks (charges apply).
Take the lead along the South West Coast Path only moments from the front door for a day walking the rugged coastline. Discover quiet coves for picnics and doggy paddles or stop for refreshments in one of the dog-friendly village pubs along the way. Head inland for long walks along Bodmin Moor (20 miles) taking in the breathtaking scenery. Put your best paw forward at Restormel Castle (12 miles) and explore the castle grounds, or stroll to nearby Lostwithiel to discover this pretty village together.
