Answer the call of the coast with a stay in Polruan, where this dramatically positioned cliffside cottage offers a truly immersive seaside escape. With panoramic sea views, a private mooring, steps leading directly into the water, and an outdoor hot shower perfect for rinsing off sandy wetsuits, this holiday home is designed for those who want to spend every moment embracing the coast. Inside, the property is a stylish, contemporary base for up to four guests. Special touches such as underfloor heating and a generous welcome pack ensure every family or group of friends feels both spoilt and utterly at home.
Luxurious accents and a sophisticated finish set this cottage apart, particularly in the open-plan living space made for slow mornings and tranquil evenings. The standout feature is the bi-fold glass doors that open fully onto the terrace, creating a unique breakfast-bar-style dining experience with breathtaking sea views. A picture window beside the plush sofas in the lounge offers the perfect spot to watch the boats drift by – ideal when there’s nothing worth watching on the Smart TV. Outside, the terrace is a sumptuous space complete with a seating area for sunbathing. You’ll also find secure storage for paddleboards and a mooring suitable for boats up to six metres. Back inside, two opulent bedrooms – one with an en-suite – are joined by a family bathroom on the lower floor.
The traditional Cornish village of Polruan is a charming maze of winding streets and steep steps, dotted with pubs, cafes, and a local shop. The village sits on the South West Coast Path, making it a perfect base for scenic walks, perhaps to the twinkling turquoise cove of Lantic Bay (2 miles). Just across the river lies Fowey (1 mile), a lively and popular Cornish holiday destination accessible via a regular ferry service.
