Luxuriate in the elegance of this spacious property in the small fishing village of Polruan. The exquisitely-styled period house sleeps up to ten across its five bedrooms. Immerse yourself in the quintessentially Cornish village, with its picturesque views; explore the dramatic coastline or simply enjoy spending time at home in your hot tub.

Open the front door of your impressive home with its stone façade to find accommodation reminiscent of a boutique hotel. From the reception hall, wander into your sumptuous lounge, where you can lay a fire in the wood burner and curl up in front of SkyTV. Move on through to your second lounge area, which is open-plan, to your kitchen/diner. This exquisite space, which has been beautifully furnished and decorated, also features a wood burner. A second TV with Sky allows your party to settle down in front of different films if they choose. Your dining area is at the other end of the marvellous space and has also been finished with a flourish. Pull up a chair to dine together, light the wood burner here too if you choose and enjoy the fine feast you have all prepared in your stylish kitchen space. Also on the ground, is the rear hall – where there is ample space for coats and boots – and a WC. Find four of your bedrooms on the floor above. Wake up in one of these beautiful rooms, where you have an en-suite shower room, to the most glorious river views. Find your family bathroom, with its slipper bath, on this floor too. Your final bedroom is located on the lower ground floor, where it benefits from an en-suite shower room. The utility area complete with handy washer/dryer, and a games room with pool table, are also at this level. Your handsome home opens up to an enclosed garden. Relax out here in your cedar-clad hot tub, grill lunch on the BBQ or simply enjoy the clean Cornish air. Find off-road parking for one car in a car park nearby.

Great property in an excellent location (2 mins walk from the Ferry to Fowey where all the action is). Jacuzzi an excellent touch. !SELECTED!Bedrooms a little small (i.e. no desk space) and some scope to enhance maintenance / upkeep of the property in a few areas (e.g. pool table is quite worn). !ENDOFSELECTED!

Really beautiful home, lovely garden, enjoyed watching the Sun go down most evenings were blessed with amazing weather and couldnt fault the house or garden facilitiesJust for awareness there is significant building work next door between the hours of eight - five, we were out most days so didnt affect our enjoyment.

The house it self was perfect, location wise could not be better, the views are stunning, lovely watching the sunset from the hot tub. Bar area and lounge were fantastic to sit and chill. The area around is very quiet and peaceful.

The house is in a great position and offers really nice accommodation. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and the outside space. Great to have Sky TV & good WiFi. Apart from a few small cosmetic issues that I expect would be fixed soon, we had a super stay. One word of advice is to stock up on food and refreshments before you arrive as there is onlyRead more a small shop with limited stock. Hide
