Cottage (2 bedrooms - 3 beds) Polruan Fowey-stunning views over the estuary+sea

Situated towards the castle end of West Street and offering stunning views of the estuary, September Cottage has been painstakingly and lovingly restored to the highest standard. It sleeps up to 4. Bedrooms 1 and 2 both have a King size bed but the one in Bedroom 2 will also split into 2 singles, known as a zip and link bed. The two bedrooms and the bathroom are downstairs, while the comfortable lounge/dining area and kitchen are all upstairs to take advantage of the views across the harbour to Fowey and Readymoney Cove. Wonderful views from every window. The coastal path is 50 yards from the door and Fowey is five minutes away by ferry from the harbour. We do not take pets. We have fibre optic broadband. We provide parking approx 100 metres from cottage. Electric car charger has been installed in the public car park. Regular Ferry to Fowey every five mins approx.

This is a lovely cottage in Polruan. It’s clean and well kept. While small, it was perfect for us as a family of 4, and the views from the living room are stunning over the harbour. It’s well located with easy access to the beach, pubs, village shop and the ferry to Fowey. We had a fabulous week.

Charming house, charming town

A great cottage in a picturesque town. A good place to relax by the sea, hear the crashing waves and watch the sailboats from the window. Whether you want to just stay nearby or roam there are many possibilities such as the coastal paths, the ferry across to Fowey with its shops or other fantastic towns in the area (Polperro being a favorite).

About the host

Hosted by Ann Walker

Host profile image
We live in the countryside in England and decided that the seaside would provide a different experience for everyone. Our children who are now in their late twenties and early thirties still come with their friends and partners. We love sharing the cottage with our visitors some of whom have returned several times.

Why they chose this property

We first visited Polruan in the 1990s. Despite the fact that it poured with rain every day and that we had three small children and a dog with us, we loved every minute of that holiday. We were determined to buy a house nearby and when some years later an opportunity presented itself in Polruan we started to renovate September Cottage. We visit as often as our jobs permit and our children who are now grown up love to come to Cornwall as well. Our eldest son proposed to his girlfriend on the cliffs in Polruan so it has become a special place for all the family. We have received many visitors over the past few years who have sent glowing letters of recommendation about the cottage and its wonderful views over the Fowey estuary.

What makes this property unique

Wonderful views over the bay towards Fowey with the many boats which sail into the harbour. Views on all sides of the cottage. The unspoilt village of Polruan, near the attractions of a tourist centre like Fowey but lovely and peaceful to come home to after a day of sightseeing and walking. We have our parking space about 100 metres from the cottage.
