Your furry friends will go barking mad for a stay at this stunning holiday cottage in a quaint Cornish village. They can lead the way every day as you venture out for long walks on the coastal path, bound along beaches or head into stunning countryside. An ideal destination for friends or families and two canine companions, it has a beautifully decorated interior plus a fabulous garden with lovely views.

Hang coats and leads in the entryway of this stylish holiday property before exploring its bright and breezy lounge, with its comfortable sofas and eclectic furnishings. Just the place for a night in with the Smart TV as your hounds snooze at your feet. The kitchen/diner has a country feel but offers all mod cons, including a microwave and a dishwasher, and there’s a quiet corner with a sofa where you can relax while chatting to the cook. The family bathroom is also on the ground floor, while the separate WC is upstairs. Also on the first floor are the bedrooms – a roomy king-size and twin, and a smaller double. The spacious, sloping garden has steep steps that take you to a terrace with delightful views over the river to Fowey. You can unload your car outside the property, but there is no private parking – though local car parks are nearby.

The delightful village of Polruan is set on a steep hill, so you and your mutts will get super-fit as you explore its winding streets. The village shop is opposite the cottage, and the foot ferry is just metres away, from where you can cross over to Fowey and its interesting shops and eateries, or complete the circular Hall Walk, one of Cornwall’s most popular. For pups who love running on the beach, Readymoney Cove is just outside Fowey.

  • 3 bedrooms – 1 king-size, 1 double and 1 twin
  • 1 bathroom and 1 separate WC 
  • Electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher
  • Utility area within the conservatory with washing machine and air dryer.

  • Many of the amenities, ferries and cottages in Polruan are accessed via steps some of which can be steep. Please contact us if you have specific requirements.
  • There are many small winding streets that are not suitable for cars, therefore many properties in Polruan do not have private parking. However, there is a large pay and display carpark at the top of the village

Fantastic location close to the harbour and pubs. The harbour is a stones throw from the front door and my children 10 and 14 loved going down for s swim. The Cottage is light and spacious with great coastal decor. The garden at the back is a very decent and the views from the decking are lovely. The cottage is also well equiped. Looe, Polperro, EdRead moreen project etc are all a short drive as are some superb beaches. Fowey via the ferry is also picturesque. We loved our stay here!!! Hide

We absolutely LOVED our stay in Summer Cottage. It is a deceptively spacious cottage, particularly on the ground floor, with lots of space for relaxing, cooking, eating and playing family games. The garden is wonderful, and we really enjoyed having our breakfast on the 'top deck' overlooking the harbour. The beds were some of the most comfortable wRead moree have ever slept in too! Perfectly positioned in the heart of Polruan for enjoying everything the village has to offer. We will be back! Hide

We really enjoyed our stay at Summer Cottage, and would recommend it to friends. The location is brilliant in terms of access to the shop, bakery and harbour. The tv room is spacious but still a cosy place to curl up in the evenings, and the kitchen/dining room also features a nook where 4 or 5 people can sit and chat or play a game whilst someone Read moreelse is cooking. The bedrooms are fairly small but very comfortable. Hide

Lovely cottage - great for family with 2 teenage kids as lots of space. Loved the garden for sunny breakfasts. Polruan is a great village. The village shop opposite was a real bonus.

Delightful cottage, light, clean, airy, very comfortable, and well furnished. Good view over to Fowey from the garden. Easy access to the quay and local shops. The local grocery shop is very good with a wide choice of products given the size. No parking at the property, and a steep walk to and from the main car park, (so not suitable for some peoplRead moree), but keeps you fit. The main car park weekly charge is reasonable. Hide
