Indulge in a delightful stay close to the harbour in the ancient Cornish fishing village of Polruan. This two-bedroom, single-storey bolthole looks out over the water to Fowey on the other side of the estuary. Sleeping four guests, it offers bright, modern accommodation, with a terraced, decked garden, complete with summer house for outside living during the warmer months.
Follow a set of steps down to let yourselves into this holiday home. Step inside to find an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with a part vaulted ceiling and a wood burner to stoke up after autumn and winter walks. Watch TV or a DVD in here with your family and friends, prepare tasty meals with the fresh seafood and vegetables you have bought on your trips out and dine at the table. When you are ready to retire for the night, choose between the double bedroom or the twin, each with the convenience of an en-suite shower room. Sit outside in the courtyard or on the decking on fine days. Open a bottle of wine to enjoy up in the summer house on warm evenings as you take in the views. Parking for this cottage is in a pay car park 400 metres away. Guests can unload 80 metres way.
Explore the charming streets of Polruan then catch the ferry over to the larger Fowey, with its many shops, galleries and eateries. Visit St Catherine’s Castle while you are over here and spend time on the beach at Readymoney Cove. Have a day out to the National Trust’s Lantic Bay, less than 2 miles from the cottage and also reachable on foot along the South West Cast Path. Make a day trip to the Eden Project, 15 miles away by road or 9.5 miles if you take your car on the Bodinnick Ferry.
