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 twin bedroom (which can be made up as a super-king on request) with dual aspect windows and views down the street to the water, 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 drench 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. Relax in front of the summerhouse and enjoy an evening tipple or dine alfresco under the star-lit sky.

  • 2 bedrooms - 1 double 1 3ft twin (can be made up as a super-king on request)
  • 2 bathrooms - 1 shower room with waterfall shower and WC , 1 freestanding bath in double bedroom and 1 ensuite WC

  • Shop, pubs and beach less than a mile away Polruan is a quaint little village situated on a very steep hill, so access to some parts of the village can be challenging.
  • Many of the amenities, ferries and cottages in Polruan are accessed via steps/ slopes some of which can be steep. Please contact us if you have specific requirements.
  • There are many small winding streets in and around the village which are not suitable for cars, therefore many properties in Polruan do not have private parking. However, there is a large pay and display car park at the top of the village.

The position of the cottage was great with amazing views. There was an excellent local food store, two cafes with one being a bakers as well and all sold good value products. The two pubs were really good and everyone was very friendly. It'd thoroughly recommend this cottage X

The cottage could be amazing, however we were really let down and disappointed by the standard on arrival. It felt cold.

Bigger than expected and nicely furnished, Diamond Cottage exceeded our expectations. We were fortunate with the weather and made the most of trips of foot and by boat to Readymoney Cove for swimming plus canoeing straight off Polruan Harbour in mid September. We were bowled over by how welcoming, friendly and helpful everyone in Polruan is - it's Read morea very special place and we'd love to return again soon. Hide
