Property code: OC-91396

Sleeping four in two bedrooms, this delightful cottage is nestled within historic Polruan, with easy access to Fowey and beyond. Enjoy beautiful views over the estuary from inside and out, relax in front of the wood burner or soak in the freestanding bath in the double bedroom.

Step into this welcoming property and upstairs into its elegant lounge, from which you can enjoy views of the water, cuddle up by the wood burner (furry friend at your feet) and watch a movie on the Smart TV. The dining room has a wooden dining table for six as well as a pretty dresser, and the kitchen is well equipped, including that all-important coffee machine. On the first floor, the double bedroom has the benefit of an en-suite WC and a freestanding bath within the room itself - ideal for some bubbles and chill-out time. The twin bedroom boasts dual-aspect windows and views down the street to the water, and there’s also a family bathroom with a drench shower. For fresh air and alfresco meals, head down the steps from the dining room to find a patio terrace set over different levels, outdoor furniture and a summerhouse. Here you can appreciate the fabulous views across the estuary.

When you’ve wandered the steeply sloping streets and steps of Polruan, which has a couple of pubs, a village store and cafe, hop on the passenger ferry across to the chic coastal town of Fowey, home to a variety of excellent eateries, pubs, galleries and boutique shops. From the top of the village you can follow the coast path on a mile-long hike to Lantic Bay and its dog-friendly, sandy beach, or walk up to the car park at the top of the village and drive out to the Eden Project, 15.5 miles.

Very comfortable stay for three adults and two dogs. The house is clean, comfortable and well equipped. We parked our car in the car park for the week and used the ferries and footpaths to get around, there is also a local bus service. Fowey has so many cafs, restaurants, pubs and shops we were spoiled for choice. Lovely beaches and walks. The gRead morearden is secure for dogs. The neighbours who have access through the garden have a small friendly dog and ours got along fine with it. Hide

Great comfortable cottage for friends & family, plus safe garden area for dogs. Location is excellent, although off-loading & loading luggage from the car was a bit stressful with local traffic. It is a steep climb to the property from the shoreline which won't be suitable for everyone, but we didn't have a problem with it.

Lovely cottage in the heart of the village. A well stocked village shop, two lovely pubs, take away fish/chips, fresh croissants from the bakery! The cottage is very clean and comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped. The large terrace and summer house are a lovely extra. The car park is 35 p/w. Steep walk up and down. However, when we left, wRead moree bought the car down to the cottage to quickly load up. You will need extra loo rolls and dishwasher tabs as the supply is very minimal. Hide

Lovely quaint cottage in a beautiful village, it felt like something out of a book ! It had everything we needed and more. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and a nice dining area. The view from the front room is just stunning looking down to the Quay. The outdoor area was lovely, weather was changeable so not much time spent on the patio, Read moremade use of the summer house though. Passenger ferry to Fowey is great. Lovely walks. Hall walk we enjoyed most. The steep hills kept us fit ! Hide

Lovely old cottage in excellent location. Cosy and well equipped but enough room for everyone to have a little space. Enjoyed the sea views from one of the bedroom windows and terraced garden. Would recommend.

Should have been told where the key box was situated. Detailed instructions on off loading etc that are in the cottage welcome file should have been sent to us beforehand. Also contact number of managing agents in Fowey should have been sent to us before we arrived. Comfortable cottage, beautiful patio area that, in particular, our daughter and herRead more dogs loved. Super views. People in village friendly. We found the steep hill to the car park challenging. Should say no parking on site. Hide

The position of the cottage was great with amazing views. There was an excellent local food store, two cafes with one being a bakers as well and all sold good value products. The two pubs were really good and everyone was very friendly. It'd thoroughly recommend this cottage X
