About this property
Overlooking the landmark Polruan Quay, with beautiful views over the Fowey River, this comfortable cottage has a bright and serene feel and a great location set within the heart of village. It's your South Cornwall getaway for beach days, breathtaking coastal walking on the South West Coast Path and days out exploring. After a quiet meander down lanes to arrive, the slower pace of life will wash over you and you'll soon be in holiday mode.
This stone-built, attached property is set over three floors and perfectly sized for a smaller family. The overall feel is calm and restful, the kids will love the cute arched doorway to the twin bedroom. But it's those harbour views that visitors remember – the large window in the lounge is just the place to sit with a coffee, watching the boats come and go. From the compact yet well equipped kitchen diner, the whole family can enjoy cooking and eating together. The local village amenities are right on your door step, with the 2 village pubs and tea room a stones throw away.
Local beaches really are local – Polruan's town beach is 50 metres from your door, and Readymoney Cove in Fowey is half a mile from the ferry step. Over in Fowey there are more shops, galleries and restaurants, you can also hire a boats or try mackerel fishing. If you are keen walkers why not try the much-loved ‘Hall Walk', a circular 4-mile route including two ferry rides, 3 pubs on route, peaceful waterside views and winding wooded slopes. For a day out combining fascinating animals and a classic Cornish seaside village, Looe is within 10 miles by car and the Monkey Sanctuary is 4 miles further.
