Description

This delightful cottage is situated in the heart of Polruan but tucked away from it all with its own secret, walled patio garden, behind a locked gate. The south-facing patio has a distinctly Mediterranean feel with its cascading plants, terracotta flowerpots and stable door leading into a colourful kitchen. The Hideaway has been beautifully finished, with careful styling and lots of home comforts. Much more spacious than it initially appears you will be pleasantly surprised and are sure to find it a perfect bolt-hole for a romantic escape for two or somewhere to go with friends for a holiday together.

Polruan is situated across the water from Fowey and has a range of local shops, cafes and two good village pubs just a short stroll away from the cottage. The harbourside, with its constant activity, and glorious coastal walks are right on your doorstep, A passenger ferry operating all year round can take you across the river on foot or alternatively a 10 minute drive will take you to the Bodinnick Car Ferry.

Reviews

Lovely cosy comfortable cottage, tucked away from it and very peaceful. Would definitely recommend it! There are two fab local pubs a few minutes walking distance away, a local shop and bakery and coffee shop virtually across the road so, everything is to hand! Polruan also has a lovely working harbour and small beach. There are also loads of amazing walks and great places to visit all nearby such as Fowey, Polperro and the costal walk is amazing which every way you go.

Mr S,

We had a great stay here. Cottage is lovely and well kitted out. We stayed for 5 nights with our toddler and it was great that we were provided with baby gates, travel cot and Highchair sling. We felt the cottage was very homely and would recommend.

Mrs S,

This is a lovely cottage, beautiful and very comfortable. It was spotless and had everything we needed. It is in a great location in Polruan and the courtyard garden is perfect. The space in the cottage is really good and very relaxed. A great cottage and a lovely place.

Mr M,

The Hideaway is a really lovely cottage. Its very clean and there are some really thoughtful extras that made the stay extra special. We would definitely return.

Mrs E,

Fabulous family cottage. Would highly recommend. Perfect for dogs too. A week wasn’t long enough, we can’t wait to go back next year! Polruan is fantastic.

Mrs M,

Fantastic cottage, excellently equipped, everything and more needed for a brilliant, comfortable stay. Very dog friendly with a private enclosed courtyard and an outside tap for muddy boots, paws etc

Mrs A,

Favourite place to stay in Polruan. Been coming for a number of years and stayed at various places. This is head and shoulders the best for us as a couple. Cosy welcoming convenient and very well equipped. Highly recommend!!

Mr L,

Location

Polruan's position on a headland jutting out into the estuary meant that it once had great importance as a lookout point.  Now, visitors can share the same commanding views from the headland looking out to sea, and across to Fowey on the far bank.

Up here is also the spectacularly beautiful Headland Garden, which has unexpectedly become known for more exotic flora than you might expect to find in this little corner of Cornwall.  This has allowed it to be discovered and promoted far and wide.

While up here, gazing out into the distance, you may spot sea birds and other wildlife, and maybe even the odd seal.  Much of the area is not only an AONB, but also a Special Area of Conservation, so that it can be preserved for future generations.

Like most villages in the area, the primary industry has always been fishing, however the locals are very welcoming to visitors, and tourism has taken its place.

Walkers will find the landscape to be ideal for hiking, or if you prefer just a gentle stroll, there are lots of options available.  Upon your return, you can relax with a meal or drink in The Lugger Inn, or hop on the ferry and visit one of the pubs or cafes in Fowey.
