A stylish coastal property with comfortable and attractive interiors and parking, this elevated property has amazing views and immense charm for families or couples to explore all that Cornwall has to offer.

Overlooking the harbour in the heart of the fishing village of Polruan, this end-of-terrace period cottage has mesmerising views across the water towards Fowey. It’s a glorious destination for a rejuvenating break with your family, including its most important member – the dog of course! Take pleasure in the creature comforts of home after the excitement of splashing in the surf, digging up sand in secluded coves and watching fishermen land their catch.

Scamper up external steps and through a gate to enter the light, bright property, which is decked out like a beach house. There’s plenty of room for everyone to sprawl out and find their own favourite spot, with a lounge designed to make the most of the amazing views across the harbour. Settle back in front of the Smart TV or simply watch the boats drift by. The stunning contemporary kitchen has everything you need to get creative with cooking, and there are three comfortable bedrooms. Two are on the bottom floor, so you can be close to your pet, and one is on the top floor where lovely views make up for the restricted head space. Outside, teach your dog a new trick in the enclosed garden terrace, and store kayaks and bodyboards in the outbuilding.

Walk the coastal footpath that runs past the house, or drive to Cardinham Woods (19 miles) for a trail through scenic woodland. Another fabulous adventure for your intrepid hound involves taking the passenger ferry across the estuary to Fowey for a stroll along the harbour and lunch in a pub that welcomes four-legged customers. There are also several beaches to sniff out along the Cornish coast. They include the remote but incredibly beautiful Lantic Bay (1.5 miles) where canines can run free all year round.

Simon's Lookout was heaven !! Better than i had expected, quirkier, characterfulled, beautifully laid out and had every single thing we could want - and more. Comfortable, spacious and calm. Polruan, for anyone who has not been is gorgeous and just away from the tourist traps of cornwall. The ferry across to Fowey was one of the highlights that we Read moreused every day. The pace of life is gentle, watching the meandering of the harbour life is gentle and the home we stayed it made it perfect. Hide

We absolutely loved Polruan and Simon's Lookout. We were a couple with a 2 year old toddler and a dog and the house was perfect. Very nicely decorated and well equipped. We are already missing the views of the estuary and the peacefulness of Polruan. Such a relaxing time and we took the ferry to Fowey several times and made use of The Lugger pub, tRead morehe cafe, shop and bakery! Such a bonus to be able to be inside the house but still be next to the sea. Hide

Nice cottage with lovely views. Well equipped and clean with nice furnishings. Our dog had a great holiday too! Excellent provision of hot water. Very well positioned for coastal walks and a quick walk to both the local shop and pubs. The Lugger is highly recommended; friendly, clean, good meals to eat in and take away.

Lovely house, amazing location and breathtaking unrivalled views. Easy to get into Fowey on the regular 15 minute ferry. Beautiful walks/castle/quay to visit in Polruan. Lovely and quiet at night. Wouldnt recommend to anyone with mobility issues as the walk to the car park (for additional cars) and the quay are very steep (which is why the views arRead moree amazing!!). Road down to parking space very tight so not for the faint hearted or those with big cars. Hide

Such a perfect location with a stunning view. The most well equipped kitchen ever! Super comfy beds, lovely decor and touches. Very friendly people everywhere esp in the 2 local pubs. Downside was the lack of curtains/ blinds in the top bedroom which was dual aspect.

We had a great stay at Simon's Lookout - it's comfortable, well laid out and really well decorated.. The views of the estuary from the property are stunning and constantly change. There is plenty to do locally, especially if you like walking and swimming. Fowey has some good restaurants, but the Lugger in Polruan has good food and decent beer. The Read morevillage shop and the bakery have all you need. Hide
