We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cosy cottage with glorious views. We recieved a very warm welcome in Polruan and enjoyed many local walks and visiting Fowey on the passenger ferry. The cottage was clean and tidy and in a perfect spot. The Lugger pub was excellent for food with a super Sunday lunch and the little cafe down the street providedRead more a lovely breakfast. The cottage was really well equipped and the welcome box of goodies was much appreciated and enjoyed. Exceeded expectations. Hide

Ideally situated, you could never tire of the view from Bosun's Cottage. What a sight to wake up to every morning. The cottage is compact but comfortable and very well equipped for self catering. A lovely welcome pack of Cornish treats was waiting for us on arrival. Would recommend Bosun's Cottage to any couple wanting to enjoy the best of CornwallRead more. Hide

Cottage smelt of damp and despite having windows open this didn't dissipate the whole week. Dirty pan with oil left in cooker! No instructions for how to use cooker. Had to buy fly spray which was 4.75. No local supermarket, village one too expensive for whole week, nearest was in St. Austell which meant car ferry over to Fowey. Just extra expense Read morewhich we expected but still a bit steep. West street is like a thoroughfare so people constantly going by. No chairs to look out disappointing Hide

Cottage was absolutely lovely. It is suited to the area and perfectly located! Beautiful views from main bedroom. Lovely pub just a quick walk away, access to ferry to Fowey. Just a lovely chilled week away. Only issue was climbing up the hill to the car park, stopping every few minutes to admire the view helped though!

We had a wonderful week at Bosuns - 3 adults and a dog. Brilliant position and views of Polruan harbour and Fowey. Very cosy cottage with all you need and great welcome basket. Easy stroll to well stocked shop, bakery, coffee shop and two pubs. And loads of walks, recommend the cliff walk and boat trip to Fowey. We had only one tiny drawback and itRead more was the small bathroom but we expected this in a characterful Cornish cottage. We would love to come back. Thanks for your hospitality! Hide

The cottage is only accessible by foot. Which is absolutely fine for yes but needs to be born of mind when booking. It's a little 'dated' and could do with a spruce up.
