Overview
Property code: 83821

Nestled on the waters edge boasting spectacular River views this property is the perfect retreat for families and friends looking to enjoy time away at the Cornish Coast.

Situated on the harbour side of the village with outstanding harbour and river views this property is just wonderful. Polruan is an ancient fishing village famous for its boat building heritage. Perfectly positioned on the Fowey river estuary, which is a thriving centre for fishing, seafaring, shipbuilding and agriculture. There are two village pubs, the highly rated Lugger Inn restaurant, a café, a bakery, a village shop and a passenger ferry that will take you across to Fowey. Further afield there are plenty of places to visit and things to do. Why not visit the Adrenaline Quarry or tall ships at Charlestown, take the brewery tour in St Austell or visit the Eden project and/or the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Also for those interested in stately homes why not visit Lanhydrock in Bodmin.

The property is easily accessed from the picturesque and car-free Sydney Hill through a wooden door that leads onto a broad patio with stunning views of the harbour. There is a main door to a hallway with two reception rooms to the left and the dining room and kitchen to the right. The dining room has beautiful views over the river. Behind the dining room is a fully equipped kitchen with an electric hob, oven, microwave, fridge/freezer and Nespresso machine. Turning left from the hallway is the sitting room with an electric feature fireplace and again views over the water. The second lounge comes with comfy seating, a Smart TV, the perfect spot to curl up after a day of exploring Polruan and south Cornwall. Off this room is a very handy utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer. Back into the lounge is a staircase that takes you up into the master bedroom with a king-size bed, stunning views and an en-suite shower room with WC. Making your way back down through the lounge areas is a second staircase where you will find the other two twin bedrooms both light and bright with water views. The main bathroom can also be found on this floor with hand held shower attachment over bath and WC.

Outside is a beautiful patio area with garden furniture and a good size lawn area that overlooks the river Fowey. Both the utility room and kitchen have doors to the rear entrance on Hockens Lane. Cars can be unloaded outside the property on Hockens Lane where there is private off-street parking for one large car and two garages for regular size cars. There is also parking in the local St Saviours car park a short walk from the cottage (subject to availability)

We have had a perfect two week stay at this charming cottage. The location was ideal and we enjoyed going out on walks or catching the ferry to Fowey and Mevagissey. We also caught the local bus to Polperro which is a lovely place to visit. We would also recommend a trip out to Bodmin jail, it was not at all what I expected and well worth the moneyRead more. There are two local pubs. The Lugger inn needs to be booked for meals. Both pubs are in walking distance. Loved our stay in Polruan. Hide

Amazing view from garden. Property nice and roomy. Polruan is a lovely little village, although the steep streets and steps can be challenging. Ferry to Fowey very useful.

Lovely area but difficult to drive to/park at. This aspect changed our plans for the trip as we did not feel able to take the car out frequently. Very easy to get the ferry across to Fowey which is a lovely day out. The view from the property is lovely. Garden not suitable for children/dogs, but especially the former. The wall is only a foot or twoRead more high with a long drop the other side, so not ideal with young children. Hide

This cottage is in a lovely location with fantastic views. The cottage itself was very clean and had a well equipped kitchen and nice bathrooms. There are the expected quirks from such an old property like very steep stairs, odd patch of damp, low door frames ( watch your head). The outside space and uncomfortable garden furniture let this propertyRead more down a bit, which is a shame as it could be wonderful. Hide

If you have a larger car you may need to reverse down the narrow lane that accesses the property as with other cars parked in their parking spaces in the lane there is no where to turn round.

The views from the garden terrace are unbeatable, the comfort and cleanliness of the bedrooms first rate and excellent facilities throughout.

Amazing views and we had an amazing holiday. We have fallen in love to polruan. Felt the house needed some TLC. We had a few issue while there which we reported but they were not rectified but it didn't matter. Would return for the views But only in the summer so we can make use of the outside

Other than the difficulty finding the cottage, we found it to be as described and very comfortable, lovely views, walks and very vocal seagulls! We managed to get the car into the garage but the difficulty was getting it out. A lovely time was had by all and we would recommend this holiday home to our friends.

Fantastic views of the harbour. We were lucky with the weather so we spent a lot of time on the terrace watching the boats go by. The cottage is close to the ferry and lots of good walks nearby. The cottage was very comfortable, lots of steps, low walls and a steep walk to the harbour so not suitable for the infirm or very young children.

A very special cottage. Well appointed for the most part and parking was great. Beware if taking a 4x4! Dont think youll fit it in the garage! If taking children or excitable dogs (or if you like a drink!) worth noting the end of garden has a long drop and only a 1 foot high wall at the end of it. Would book again

Staircase leading to double bedroom has no handrail, shelves in oven do not seem to fit correctly, when put casserole dish on shelf it collapsed, tried shelves on all the shelf supports did the same. Has nice garden with lovely views.
