Diamond Cottage - Polruan

Traditional cottage in the heart of the ancient fishing village of Polruan, with access to all Cornwall has to offer, and pretty Fowey with its pubs and restaurants a short ferry ride away. The village itself has a small shop, bakery, café and a couple of good pubs which serve food. Bodinnick Car Ferry (3.4 miles) perfect for easy access mid and east Cornwall. There is also a passenger ferry service to Fowey which runs every 15 minutes, giving access to further shops, restaurants and pubs. There is only one road into Polruan, which ends by the quay close to the tidal beach, making the village a quiet and peaceful destination to retreat to. It is ideally situated for visiting attractions such as The Eden Project (15.7 miles) or Ferryside, where Daphne Du Maurier wrote her first novel. The property also offers easy access to the South West Coast Path.

Step inside from the hustle and bustle of Polruan's narrow street and head upstairs into the cosy lounge with comfy sofas, dual aspect windows and views down to the water. Throw a log or two in the wood burner and watch a film on the Smart TV. Head through to the spacious dining room, perfect for entertaining or playing a board game with the family. From here is the kitchen which is equipped with everything you'll need for your holiday. Upstairs you'll find a gorgeous, large twin bedroom (which can be made up as a super-king on request) with dual aspect windows and views of the estuary, a tastefully furnished double bedroom with freestanding bath in the room, perfect for a long soak after a day rambling the coastline and an en-suite WC. Completing the inside is a family bathroom with a large rainfall shower.

Heading outside from the dining room, you can access the garden via several steps. There is a wonderful patio terrace over several levels with superb views across the estuary and outdoor lighting. Relax in the summerhouse and enjoy an evening tipple or dine alfresco under the star-lit sky. There is an outdoor tap to easily wash off paws or wetsuits.
