About a holiday in Polruan...
Polruan is an ancient mariner and shipbuilding community. Clinging to the hillside and surrounded on three sides by water, the village is a maze of narrow streets and flights of steps winding between the cottages, it is much loved as a community, a haven for yachts and also a tranquil holiday destination. Down at the harbour you will find 2 pubs, both serving great food throughout the day. There are 2 beaches, ideal for paddle boarding and a great passenger ferry services that runs throughout the day across to Fowey. The Ferry runs a daily service, finishing at 11pm during the summer and 7pm during the winter. Fowey is full of shops, eateries, pubs, beach and a harbour. It is well worth a visit and day well spent exploring all it has to offer.

There are many beautiful walks, coast paths, beaches and coves to explore including the stunning Atlantic Bay and Readymoney beach, both with parking. For walkers, the South West Coastal Footpath is just yards from the cottage and the Hall Walk is highly recommended, starting in Polruan by the Harbour and ending in Fowey overlooking the beautiful Fowey estuary. Or take the challenging but spectacular walk to Polperro, passing some of our more remote but beautiful beaches.

lovely property
Property is looking a little tired, probably due to it being the end of summer. No parking on street! very steep walk to the car park.

Lovely cottage
We enjoyed our stay in this quirky cottage. Lovely view, comfortable beds, charming patio, well equipped kitchen. Fascinating area to explore and wonderful walks on the doorstep. It would be helpful to have known that the bathroom was downstairs, and the nearest car park is a good 8-minute walk up a steep hill!

Short Break
This property is set on a steep incline with steps up to the property and no parking near the property. You can park in a public pay and display car park which is a 10 minute walk away. The property is on a split level with the kitchen and bathroom downstairs and the bedrooms and lounge upstairs. The heating was not great with no heating in the second bedroom. It’s quite peaceful and the walks are nice but you need good mobility and a car to see the surrounding area.

Beautiful place
We loved Polruan. The view from the cottage is spectacular over the harbour and Fowey. There are beautiful walks on your doorstep. The cottage is very cosy, the bed very comfy and we enjoyed the local shops and pub. Everyone we met was very friendly. We would love to come back.

Lovely little cottage
The cottage is delightful - comfortable, clean and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. It is very well located in the village and has a lovely outdoor sitting area. The kitchen is very well equipped. The owner was very responsive to queries. Polruan is a very special place.
