Overview
Property code: OC-CRIDG2

Wake up to the sound of the sea at this peaceful coastal haven above Polruan, with space for a large group of family or friends and stunning views from the house and garden. It’s close to the coastal path with incredible walks and beaches nearby and has lots of space with a lounge, TV room, dining room, conservatory, kitchen, four bedrooms, and three bathrooms.

The house is in an amazing setting and makes a very welcoming home from home. Relax in the lounge, with a TV and DVD player, in the TV/coffee room, which has a second TV, a large desk and a comfy sofa, or in the conservatory, where there are panoramic views. Cook up a feast for everyone in the spacious kitchen and enjoy it in the dining room, where the huge window provides awesome views. There’s also a handy shower room and WC downstairs. Upstairs are the four lovely bedrooms: two twins (one has a small balcony with a sea view), a double and a king with an en-suite bathroom; as well as a family bathroom. Soak up the views in the terraced garden with drinks on the patio as the sun goes down.

The picturesque coast path is just metres from the house, where you might spot seals and you will see sea birds and other wildlife. For a lovely walk with amazing views, head to Polperro (7 miles) along the cliff tops. Two of Cornwall’s highlights are nearby, the Eden Project (7.5 miles) and the Lost Gardens of Heligan (23.5 miles). Spend the day on the beach, hop on a ferry across from the quay (500 metres) to visit Fowey, then call in at the local pub (0.5 miles) on your way home for some hearty fare.

The Ridge was brilliant - clean, tasteful, well equipped with truly amazing views and true to the description. One of our party is rather less mobile but the layout meant she only lad to use stairs at start and end of the day or to go out. She used the exit from the bedroom with the balcony as internal stairs were easier than external steps. The Read moreLugger was friendly and had excellent menu. There was a small amount of parking at the harbour- useful as unmade road to house was not wheelchair friendly (coupled with steep roads down to harbour). All in all - a gem of a property and location. Hide

Spectacular location with amazing views and unforgettable walks right from the door. Not much in the village/without driving but the ferry over to Fowey is a great fun way to access amenities. Not that it impacted our enjoyment of the property much but, for the information of others booking, the decor is a bit dated and in places things could do wiRead moreth replacing/updating (e.g. sofas, beds) for that bit of additional comfort but its a lovely spacious house that had everything we needed and was very clean, spacious and a homely place to spend a week with our young family.

The location is stunning and it was a real treat to spend time enjoying the fabulous views from the Ridge especially early and later in the day. We enjoyed the novelty of talking the ferry over to Fowey and the Hall Walk very much. It was fun to try a different beach nearby each day and both Eden and Heligan were in striking distance.

The property is in very good location and the view of the ocean from the house was spectacular in every corner. Lots of space and rooms all over the house. Although we have taken few bits and pieces with us but the owner of the house was so kind and generous that we didnt had to use anything of ours accept for the foods. The local people were very Read morefriendly and helpful. Hide

The location is awesome, very private and absolutely spectacular views. Lying in bed listening to the sea cant be beaten, highly recommend this property. Also highly recommend the Lugger Inn in polruan for dinner, locals are very friendly. Take a trip to Sams on the Beach Polkerris, some of the best seafood Ive had and fantastic service.
