Polruan waterside cottage sleeps 8

A wonderful pet friendly waterfront cottage that sleeps 8 guests in Polruan, perfect for a large group. You will be close to Polruan’s quaint cafes, pubs, shop and the South West Coast Path, which leads to the lovely Lantic Bay Beach and the Fowey ferry.

Access this stunning house via steep steps and enter the gorgeous open-plan living space, a huge room with a half wall dividing the kitchen/diner from the lounge area, with a wood burner set at its end so that both rooms get the benefit of its cheery warmth in cooler months. The whole area is full of light, and decorated in a timeless mix of white-painted planks, limewashed floorboards and natural timber. The chef of the holiday will have the time of their lives creating delicious meals in the kitchen, aided by a range-style cooker, American-style fridge/freezer, microwave and even an ice maker. Everyone has room to gather at the long dining table, and after supper there are options for relaxing either together or apart. You could simply stroll into the lounge and snuggle on the soft seating, with entertainment provided by the Smart TV. Alternatively, head to the timber-framed conservatory, where you can sit back and watch the river craft passing by, go to the games room around the corner, in which there’s a bespoke bar area and table tennis, or retreat to the snug, where you can tuck yourself away with a good book. Completing the ground floor are a utility room and a WC. Take the stairs to the first floor, admiring the views as you ascend, to find four stylish and tranquil bedrooms, all with charming traditional-style metal beds and ample storage. The super-king-size bedroom is phenomenal, with floor-to-ceiling glazing that offers views across the water and access to a small balcony, plus an en-suite bathroom with a free-standing, roll-top bath, separate shower and classically beautiful fittings. The king-size bedroom has an en-suite shower room and yet more glorious sea views. The other two bedrooms, a double and a twin, share a handsome family bathroom.

Stepping out from the conservatory (and down two steps), the fabulous outside space comprises a huge patio with seating as well as a Mediterranean-inspired veranda, where luscious foliage climbs up a pergola to surround the outdoor table – perfect for fresh-air dining while you watch the boats float past. Via steep steps, you can access the small beach below when the tide is out, and there is also a mooring. There’s one parking space provided for a medium-sized car (it’s not possible to drive right up to the house, but there is a nearby drop-off point for unloading). Larger or additional vehicles can be parked in the public car park 300 metres away.
