  • A traditional reverse level cottage within a beautiful traditional fishing village
  • Enjoys stunning river and harbour views from the open plan living area
  • Located close to the South West Coast Path making it excellent  for walkers
Property code: PC041

Positioned in the heart of this traditional fishing village with beach, shop and pub within easy walking distance, an ideal spot to sit and watch the world go by. Take the passenger ferry which offers a service every fifteen minutes over to Fowey, offering further shops, pubs and restaurants. Head further afield and visit the National Trust’s Lanhydrock, with Victorian house, woodland and riverside paths to explore. For outdoor enthusiasts there is access onto the South West Coast Path and easily accessible is Cardinham Woods with its waymarked trails through scenic woodland. For family days out visit the Eden Project, Hangloose Adventures and Porfell Wildlife Park.

Step into this reverse level property where the small hallway greets you, a door leads to a bathroom with WC and also cleverly houses a washer/dryer. Also on this floor is the twin bedroom where you can enjoy river glimpses as you sit up in bed. Heading up the open staircase into the lounge/kitchen/dining area where there is arguably one of the best views in Polruan. You will find it hard to pull yourself away from this central focus of the room with the ever changing view of the river. A final staircase leads up to the master double bedroom with en-suite shower room with WC and also enjoys the mesmerising view.

Heading outside to the front of the property is very small terrace, but is the ideal spot for an early evening glass of wine in the sunshine.

The view was the best bit about the cottage - the sunset was amazing! The cottage is really close to the pub, although Saturday night is not recommended, even with a booking, and close to the ferry across to Fowey, where you can get the ferry to Mevagissey - like others, we saw dolphins! Accessibility is definitely not for the fainted hearted - we Read morecertainly felt fitter at the end of our week! Parking at the entrance to East Street is recommended for unloading/loading (don't go to the end). Hide

It's a lovely and nice equipped cottage with a great view over the harbour and for sunsets. With hiking, swimming and kayaking we had great activities.

A wonderful position, the views of Fowey and the river are spectacular. Perfectly situated near the Quay for the ferry to Fowey and the path to Hall Walk towards Bodinnick. Coastal walks to Polperro and across the river to Polkerris. The stunning beach at Lantic Bay is worth the walk. With so much on your doorstep Midships is the perfect base for aRead more holiday in Cornwall. Hide

Newly decorated cottage with great view across to Fowey. As warned in the advert there are steep steps to access and parking is up a steep hill at the top of town. There are limited eating options in Polruan but many across in Fowey. Would best suit fit people.

A really clean and comfortable cottage on three floors, bed was very comfortable and the views were fantastic. We have visited Polruan before so we were aware of the parking at the top of the hill and the steep steps everywhere, it's more than made up for the stunning scenery and coastal works, we would book this cottage again, it does not disappoiRead morent.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location. The people of Polruan are friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the ferry to Fowey and the Surf and Turf at Sam's was delicious. We had a great boat trip to Mevagissey and was lucky enough to see the dolphins. Lantic Bay is just beautiful and a must but the walk down and particularly back up is challenging. The waRead morelking in Polruan will keep you fit. We would highly recommend a stay at Midships and look forward to returning. Hide
