Don't believe all the comments about poor access to the accommodation, the typical Cornish lanes were to be expected.

The flat is in the top floor of a beautiful old 3 storey building right by an arm of the River Fowey. It's quiet and the views are wonderful. We enjoyed good walks all around the estuary and it was fun using the ferry from Bodinnick to Fowey. The access lane is a long single track lane with passing places, but that's why the location is so special.

A lovely spot in Cornwall. The apartment was well equipped and comfortable. The outside space back and front is perfect for the amazing views. It's a little bit of heaven

This apartment is such a gem. Second time staying and loved it just as much as the first. The pontoon was a perfect and convenient home to our little boat and the view was perfect. A very high recommendation from us.

The property was clean and welcoming although it would have been helpfull if the fridge had been switched on. The location is quite remote down a very narrow road/path which wasn't nice to drive down. There was a ferry to Fowey quite close so went over a couple of times, wasn't impressed with Polruan at all. The highlight of our stay was a trip to Read morethe Eden Project and to Lanhydrock...well worth a visit. Hide
