Situated in an enviable position overlooking the Fowey river, this stunning property is peacefully located with state-of-the-art facilities. Nestled in the pretty village of Polruan, you and your canine chum can enjoy morning walkies down to the beach for a splash in the sea before returning for breakfast on one of the terraces. After a day exploring the Cornish coast, relax in the private hot tub with a glass of wine, reflecting on the day whilst soaking up the glorious surrounding views.

 

This stylish and elegant reverse-level family home has been designed to maximise the breathtaking views from most aspects. Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout flood each room with light, emphasising space and thoughtful architecture. Venturing downstairs to the beautiful living area, you and your pup can enjoy endless snuggles on the sofa while socialising with family. Leading to the lower ground floor, children will love the cinema room watching movies while you relax in your private sauna. Strewn across the three floors are five elegant and tastefully designed bedrooms, each offering a relaxing and tranquil haven. Outside, doors open onto various patio terraces in the enclosed garden to enjoy dining al fresco on a summer’s evening.

 

The pretty fishing village of Polruan is situated on the banks of the River Fowey and boasts a quaint quayside, still used by local fisherman today, and a secluded sandy beach that your furry companions will love. Traditional narrow streets offer local shops and galleries to browse along with pubs serving a good Cornish pasty! Pick up the South West Coast Path where you can walk along this dramatic coastline for miles where spectacular viewpoints are in abundance.

We celebrated my retirement with a family stay at The Glass House in Polruan, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The luxurious accommodation offered ample space for our group of ten, with standout features like a cinema room, hot tub, and sauna that added to the enjoyment. The views over Fowey were breathtaking both night and day, and thRead moree entire setting made our family time truly special. We couldn't have asked for a better stay! The boat trip to Fowey was a great activitiy and thoroughly enjoyable as was the Lugger Inn! Parking was ample for 4 cars, all en-suite rooms was a significant benefit - would thoroughly recommend.

10 of us went to The Glass House. Beautiful views over to Fowey. Beds were very comfy and four bedrooms have lovely views. Downside could not sit 10 of us in comfy seats in one room (would be ok if there were kids and adults who may not want to sit together.). Nowhere to hang coats but we were lucky it didn't rain. Had lovely meals at both The RussRead moreell Inn and Lugger Inn. The hill down to the quay is not for the faint hearted especially on the way back up but did keep us fit. Hide

We booked the Glass House to celebrate our Ruby wedding with our family and we were introducing a fifth generation to holidays in Polruan and Fowey. We had a wonderful time and the property was excellent. Well equipped, comfortable and just right! We enjoyed the wonderful views, the hot tub and sauna. We never had the TV on all week! Thank you.

Beautiful House, great location for walks. The Lugger in pub was fantastic and a short walk away. For a peaceful picturesque break, fantastic!

Stunning location, impressively furnished and with fantastic facilities. Do remember to pack extras if you stay here though - toiletries, cleaning supplies, and the bare essentials were not provided so plan a quick stop on the way or bring your own. Otherwise this is an absolute 5 star property, highly recommended.

Fabulous property! Amazing views. Perfect location! Celebrating my 60th birthday with family and friends. We all had our privacy in terms of own bedrooms and bathrooms but could come together in the open plan kitchen/dining/living area. Large fridge and freezer were great for a large group as were the 4 ovens! Hot tub a big hit with everyone! RecomRead moremend to anyone planning a house party! Hide
