Property code: OC-CGART2

Escape to charming Polruan and base yourself close to the shoreline, admiring the pretty boats and gentle waters from the vantage point of this marvellous retreat. Perfect for four humans and one very good boy or girl, you’ll soon be basking in the sunshine with a glass of something delicious in hand and your pup by your feet. The friendly owners have even provided a welcome pack to kick start your stay, and for larger groups you can book alongside the neighbouring property to sleep 14 in comfort.

Embrace a sense of breezy beach-style living from the moment you pad inside to find spacious interiors, neutral decor, and underfloor heating underfoot. The upside-down layout maximises the views from your open-plan living space upstairs. Rustle up something tasty in the kitchen/diner and dine in style, then play your favourite tunes or watch TV for a spot of entertainment. At bedtime, you’ll have two delightful bedrooms to choose from downstairs with a TV apiece, plus one of the bedrooms has an en-suite shower room. Completing the property is a bathroom, and outside the tiered garden is a treat on balmy afternoons.

With the dramatic views across the headland, you and your tufty-eared pal will be inspired to sniff out your surroundings. Discover the Headland Gardens, spy seals from your elevated position and bring along a picnic for a feast with an impressive backdrop. The famous Hall Walk runs along the coastline from Polruan to Bodinnick, where you can take a passenger ferry to Fowey for a well-earned meal at one of the many eateries. Further along the coast, you can continue to soak up the sights and smells of popular beaches and pretty villages, rounding off with a historical scamper around Fowey and a visit to St Catherine’s Castle.

Great cottage with amazing views of the Fowey estuary, good pubs within a couple of minutes walk, the roads to the cottage are very narrow and the parking space although a bonus is quite a challenge to get into especially when other vehicles are nearby

We had a great relaxing week at Gartree Cottage. The location was perfect for us and we used the Polruan Ferry to Fowey regularly leaving the car behind. The cottage is well equipped and the views over the Fowey Estuary were just perfect. The beds were comfy and we had a lovely stay.

Lovely cottage in a great location. Great view over the harbour and bay area. Parking space is quite tight but we were able to get a 3 series BMW estate parked without too much stress, wouldnt fancy trying anything much bigger. Kitchen was nice, with most things you might need. We would consider staying here again. 3 minute walk to 2 pubs, we Read moreonly used the Lugger Inn and had a great meal the first night and popped there several more times for drinks in the evening. 3 minute walk to the ferry, which takes you across to Fowey.
