A stunning, large cottage that sleeps 10 guests in Polruan, bang on the edge of the estuary overlooking Fowey and steps from the ferry that takes guests over the estuary to Fowey’s great eateries, pubs and social scene. That said, Polruan has its own set of great places to eat and drink, all be it a little quieter. Should you decide to leave the village to visit more of the area you will not be disappointed as there is so much to see and do, go for a walk on the beautiful coastal path to Lantic Bay then onto Polperro or even Bodinnick where you can catch the ferry back to Fowey and then Polruan. Also within reach is the Eden Project, Lost gardens of Heligan and towns of Looe, Charlestown and Mevagissey. There is always something going on throughout the year from the Fowey regatta to the Polruan carnival.
