This was our second stay at Kittiwake and we again enjoyed our week. The cottage is clean and very comfortable in a convenient and peaceful location on the hill.

Clean, comfortable and conveniently close to the carpark. We greatly enjoyed our stay. There is no view of the harbour.

The cottage is in a lovely location and is neat and comfortable. It's a good value stay for the area and the kitchen has everything you need. We were surprised that the garden is separate to the house.

What a wonderful cottage. The property was clean and well decorated, comfortable bedding, linens and plenty of towels. The front porch gets plenty of sun as does the garden. We especially loved hopping on the ferry to Fowey but returning to the quiet of Polruan. The walk to Polperro was difficult but breathtaking! Hall walk is wonderful on a hot suRead morenny day as it's quite shaded. Wish we could have stayed longer! Hide
