Fling open the windows, hear the sound of seagulls in the distance and soak up the beautiful views over the estuary to Fowey at this seaside retreat. Only 200 yards from the quay and waterfront of Polruan, 25 Fore Street is a contemporary home-from-home within a traditional Grade II listed Cornish cottage. Whether cosied around the flickering flames of the wood burner or basking in the sunshine watching the colourful fishing boats bobbing on the water from the beautiful garden, you’re sure to feel relaxed in no time.

Reflecting the coastal location, the interiors are decorated in seaside hues of crisp whites and deep blues with nautical details dotted throughout. Original features of the cottage such as exposed roof trusses, slanted ceilings, an open cast iron fireplace and wooden floors, combined with soft rugs, roof lights and even a freestanding roll-top bath create a cosy atmosphere for the whole family to unwind.

The ancient fishing village of Polruan boasts a maze of picturesque narrow streets sprinkled with a couple of pubs, a cafe and local shop; it still retains its unspoilt Cornish charm. For more shops and eateries, board the passenger ferry to Fowey (15 minutes), where you can access the stunning South West Coast Path. Those who fancy a challenge can hike from here to Polperro (7 miles), passing an abundance of hidden coves and sandy beaches along the way.
