Newly refurbished with a stylish interior, this spacious character cottage has endless charm for families or couples as a base to explore all that Cornwall has to offer.

You’re never far from the beach at this delightful cottage, with coastal touches throughout giving subtle nods to its enviable location. The beach at Polruan is just 1.5 miles away, giving plenty of opportunity for salty fur and sandy paws - because what’s a family holiday without your beloved canine companion? After a day exploring, cosy up beside the open fire and enjoy the luxury of time together.

Packed with character and sympathetically restored, this cottage has an abundance of charm. Sit beneath the exposed beams on the window seat and watch the world go by or lay back and relax on the comfortable sofa in front of your favourite show. A stable door leads to the light and airy kitchen/diner - the perfect space for socialising. Enjoy a lazy breakfast or a hearty evening meal at the dining table and plan your days ahead, or perhaps dine alfresco in the enclosed courtyard garden as Fido sniffs out a sunny corner in which to snooze. Upstairs, you’ll find the two bedrooms, both super king-size zip and links (which can be made into twins on request).

Join the South West Coast Path which runs close to the property and explore Cornwall’s rugged coastline; keen hikers and their energetic young pups will love the challenging 7-mile route between Polruan Quay and Polperro. For a gentler stroll, roam the Fowey Estuary that lies just steps from the cottage. Relax on the National Trust’s shingle beach at Lantic Bay (1.5 miles), where your hound will happily bound into the water, or venture further south and discover The Lost Gardens of Heligan (25 miles), where dogs are welcome year-round. No visit to Cornwall is complete without a trip to the Eden Project (16 miles), where you and Mutley can explore the magnificent outdoor gardens.

  • 2 bedrooms - 2 super-king-size zip-and-links (which can be made into twins on request)
  • 1 bathroom
  • Electric oven and hob, fridge with ice compartment and microwave

  • This property will be decorated for Christmas
  • Arrival: 16:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details
  • 2 dogs allowed. Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week

Great cottage for our week away in Polruan. The steep walk to / from the carpark is more than made up with by the view at the top,and only cost 30.00 for the week.

Lovely little cosy cottage, ideally situated in the village to access shop, pubs, bus, ferry and the Hall walk. Perfect if (like us) you want to dump the car and rely solely on public transport or foot. Great support from cottage owner, extremely helpful and kind. Lovely welcome with a bottle of wine, biscuits and even some treats for the doggies. Read moreThank you. Hide

A perfect Cottage in a perfect setting! We had everything we needed. The courtyard was great for the dogs - nice and secure. The quay is a few yards away so just a short walk to the pub! Ferry to Fowey was quick and we used the car park right at the top of the hill. I would highly recommend this cottage to all. Thank you!

Very highly recommended. Cottage is absolutely stunning with the proximity of 2 pubs, a cafe, bakers, post office, well stocked shop and the ferry all contributing to a fabulous holiday experience.

Ideal location, close to quay. Should be made clear how steep the Lane is, thinking about elderly couples who may struggle. Unfortunately the village shop was closed all week, unable to comment about their facilities. Lugger Inn good food and Ales, dog friendly and really helpful friendly staff.

We loved our stay at Magdalen Cottage. The property is spacious, beautifully presented, and the courtyard garden was a lovely bonus where we enjoyed eating our dinner. Polruan is a nice place to stay. There are two pubs, a village shop, a bakery and a cafe, but if you need more its only a 2 minute ferry ride to Fowey.

This was our first visit to Polruen and we loved it. The cottage is lovely, spotlessly clean and well furnished.

Absolutely lovely cottage and location if you are very mobile and your dog(s) don't need grass to do their business! It's a lovely courtyard but my dogs just wouldn't use it. I became very fit taking the dogs up to the coastal paths from early morning to late at night, and all times in between! (I'll take a piece of artificial turf next time). My fRead moreriend had a chest infection so couldn't get to/from the nearest car park (at the top of the hill) on foot. The Fowey foot ferry was handy! Hide
