A wonderful home for a coastal escape with family, friends and young guests this abode and its abundance of cosy corners, spectacular views and communal areas is perfect for creating holiday magic. Stroll into the local village of Polruan and work up an appetite at the tidal beach before filling hungry tummies at one of the tasty eateries and hopping on the passenger ferry to Fowey for an afternoon of exploring. Whether you fancy a relaxing retreat with slow mornings or a summer getaway with nights under the stars, this property is just perfect for spending memorable quality time with loved ones.

Step through the courtyard and into the hub of the house. The kitchen is a sleek space which is well-equipped for meal times big or small, formal or relaxed. On arrival, make use of the coffee machine and perk up to begin making exciting plans for the days ahead. Once settled, head through to the fabulous open-plan lounge/diner where the corner sofa sits in front of the wood burner - the most inviting spot in the house. Warm chilly toes and put your feet up for a spot of peace. For a moment of solitude, hunt out one of the many window seats with beautiful views across the water and beyond or find yourself outside on one of the patio areas (reached by climbing steps) and unwind in the fresh air. Eight charming bedrooms sit across the first and second floors and are welcoming spots in which to rest tired eyes and enjoy a good night's sleep in this quiet village. Freshen up in the family bathroom with a shower or a soak in the bath - this might be just what you need if you have been busy adventuring in the great outdoors!

The house was immaculate, the views were stunning, we all had a magnificent time. Every part of the house was beautifully finished to a very high spec. Really loved that it's very eco, the solar panels and the system tracing the input and output of the eletic was a topic of conversation throuout the whole holiday. My husband and I stayed in the lofRead moret room and the En suit was beautiful. There are a lot of steps but you're staying in a very hilly place and worth it for the views. 10/10 Hide

We could find no faults with the cottage and all agreed it was the best cottage the clan McNeill had stayed in over the past 16 years. We have been taking family holidays in Cornwall and Devon each summer half term.

A lovely place to relax with great views from the garden, patio and lounge window seat. Very well equipped and very comfortable. Access from the public carpark with luggage or infants is a bit of a challenge as it is quite a steep climb back from the property. Likewise, walking down to the quayside/pub is easy but walking back involves a little strRead moreenuous exercise! I loved it though though some might find it demanding with steep stairs internally.

A wonderful property in a stunning location. Very comfortable and well equipped. Not suitable for those with mobility issues because of the climb up and down from the quay and the car park and also the stairs in the house and garden.
