This property has an amazing view and great kitchen and this was really good. The parking was great too. Sadly, the garden is not accessible and not enclosed so no good at all for dogs. This was an issue as we chose the house as dog owners. The cottage is very tired and needs some tlc - then it would be great choice and worth the money.

This cottage has the most incredible view, we spent hours looking at it. The house and the linen was also very clean when we arrived and well equipped. There were some downsides though, the garden is difficult to use comfortably and therefore the only outside space is outside the conservatory area where the view is not as good as from inside the prRead moreoperty. It wasnt an issue for us because the weather was changeable but on a hot summer week this would have been a problem. Hide

We booked this last minute and couldnt have been happier with our choice. An amazing property with beautiful views of the estuary across to Fowey. A very spacious property for a group of 6 adults as we had. An excellent base to explore that part of Cornwall including the Eden project. The small touches made such a difference including tea, coffee aRead morend biscuits being supplied. There were also tea towels, washing up liquid even dishwasher tablets. And plenty of towels supplied. The views from the bedrooms were also amazing. We would definitely book this property again. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay at Pencarrow which has the most beautiful view towards Fowey. We could sit there all day and watch the boats. The house is well euipped, and having parking is a great benefit. Polruan is a short, fairly steep walk but well worth it. Lovely little village with a great shop for all your essentials. Recomend the Lugger for Read moredrinks and food. Catch the passenger ferry to Fowey Hide

Wonderful situation with one of the best views in Polruan, but property needs attention and cleaning was grossly inadequate. This was our fifth stay at the property in 4 years.
