Martin

Excellent accommodation, and lots to do in the area

Julia

The house is both spacious, comfortable and has really great views, which is wonderful to wake up to in the morning or enjoy on a wet stay at home day. There is plenty of kitchen equipment which made it easy to cater for our large group. Parking on site is very tricky and needs a second person to guide proceedings. Polruan is a delight in itself and the frequent ferries to lovely Fowey make it very easy to get around.

Selina

We rented Spacious 5-Bedroom House in Polruan and Gar Cottage together - a great combination for a large family group. The views both out to sea and across the harbour are wonderful both from the house and from the large, sunny garden; the direct access to the small beach was used daily for swimming. We love the peaceful location and the covered patio means you can enjoy being outside whatever the weather. The kitchen is perfect for large groups, as is the sitting room. All in all, a perfect holiday house

Neville And Mrs Sian

Spacious 5-Bedroom House in Polruan was all we could have wished for. Roomy, comfortable, well equipped and the location couldnâ??t be better. A magical week thoroughly enjoyed by three generations of our family, from two to seventy two

Robert

Stunning location. Access to the beach at the bottom of the garden was an absolute delight. Facilities in the village are also excellent.

Angela

Lovely house & garden with steps to the beach

Amy

Lovely house in a beautiful setting.

Val

Wonderful property in a wonderful location. Perfect for a large family or group of friends. We always take the large house and the small cottage next door which combines our party of 14 very well. The weather always seems to be kind to us.

Claire

Really lovely house with a great location. There are steep steps down but they are manageable. The access to the beach was great. Would recommend parking up and walking down on arrival as the access is narrow and steep so best to check it out before you drive down. Overall a lively place to spend a family holiday.

Susan

A wonderful location, just be prepared for a lot of steps!

Julian

Second stay at this property had a great time, comfortable and cosy.

Mary

This property had everything we needed for 4 couples. Well equipped, spacious, character. There is a view from every room, either sea view or estuary view and the garden is a beautiful place to sit and relax watching the boats sailing in and out. The house had plenty of space in the large farmhouse style kitchen and 2 large lounges for us to spread out. Polruan is not suitable (in my opinion) for those not coping with hills/steps and the roads are very narrow driving in and around. We used the bus service and ferries to get about once we had arrived and walking. A thoroughly enjoyable week in a lovely property. Highly recommend.

Jenny

Beautiful views and garden

Gill

Lovely weekend in Spacious 5-Bedroom House in Polruan with five friends. Very comfortable and well equipped. Directions were excellent. Fabulous views across the estuary. Great for watching the rough seas. Would stay again. Thank you for the wine.
