An exquisite 4-bedroom home just across the river from Fowey, Polruan View House enjoys wonderful bay views. Equipped with an outdoor hot tub and terrace, this property is ideal for up to eight guests.
Moments away from the South West Coast Path, this clifftop property includes a large front garden and a spacious deck at the rear, where you have sun loungers, seating, a dining area and a lovely hot tub with views over the bay.
Walk in from the deck and you will find the open-plan living area with ample seating, a wood burner and a 65-inch Smart TV. There’s a well-equipped kitchen too, featuring two ovens, an American-style fridge freezer, dishwasher and wine cooler, as well as a dining area. Free Wi-Fi is also provided at Polruan View House.
On the ground floor, you have a twin bedroom and one with a super king-size bed which can be converted to two singles as needed. Upstairs is the master bedroom, complete with en suite shower room, 32-inch Smart TV and access to the terrace. There is another sea-view bedroom on this floor, with TV and a super king-size bed which can be converted to twin beds. A first-floor bathroom with bathtub and a downstairs shower room complete the picture.
Head into Polruan and you can catch the ferry over to Fowey, a pretty harbour town with an array of good places to eat. The town also hosts annual events such as May’s Festival of Words and Music and August’s Fowey Royal Regatta.
From Fowey, it’s only a 15-minute drive to the Eden Project and 35 minutes to the beautiful Lost Gardens of Heligan. On Polruan’s side of the river, you can explore local beaches such as Lansallos Beach and Lantic Bay, or head to delightful coastal towns such as Looe or Polperro, both within 30 minutes.
What you should know…
- Children must be supervised when using the hot tub and around the clifftop areas
- A number of the bedrooms can be set up with twin beds rather than doubles on request - ideal for any siblings or friends sharing!

Location
About the surrounding area of Polruan View HouseA hilltop fishing village looking out towards Fowey, Polruan is bound by water on three sides. The village has a few notable sights of historic interest. These include the 8th-century St Saviour’s Ruin, and the 14th-century Polruan Blockhouse, originally built to protect the harbour from attack.
The village’s better-known neighbour across the water is accessible by a ferry service which crosses the river. Fowey’s charming streets are lined with independent shops and all sorts of good eateries. There are excellent bakeries and delis alongside cafés and restaurants, all of which have built Fowey’s reputation as a great food town.
Fowey is well placed for excursions around the wider area. In less than 30 minutes you can drive to Porfell Wildlife Park and in around 15 minutes to the glorious Eden Project. Other attractions in the east of the county, such as the Golitha Falls nature reserve, Port Eliot Estate and the adventure park, Adrenaline Quarry, are all easily accessible.
Other highlights of the county include the Lost Gardens of Heligan, around 30 minutes from Fowey. Located near Mevagissey, the gardens cover 200 acres and are split into three distinct zones. The Productive Gardens, Pleasure Grounds and Jungle – a tropical garden complete with a 100 foot-high Burmese rope bridge – all have a different feel and make a great day trip.
For a day of full-on fun, the Flambards Theme Park near Helston is a popular family choice, as is the Camel Creek Adventure Park near Padstow. For something more peaceful, there’s the Japanese Garden at St Mawgan near Newquay, or the relaxing outdoor lido, Jubilee Pool, in Penzance. The town also boasts excellent art galleries in the form of The Exchange, Penlee House, Cornwall Contemporary and several others.
Head to the west of the county to discover mainland Britain’s most southerly point, The Lizard, and the famous Land’s End. You can also find cultural gems like Porthcurno’s open-air Minack Theatre – the setting right by the sea is truly spectacular, and the theatre puts on a variety of shows throughout the year. When there’s nothing on, you can book a visit to the theatre to explore the venue, but be aware there are lots of steep steps.
If you prefer to keep things more local, there are numerous beaches to explore close to Polruan. The National Trust nature reserve of Lansallos incorporates Parsons Cove and Lantic Bay, while across the river you can discover Polridmouth Cove, Readymoney Cove and Menabilly Beach.

Region
When it comes to natural good looks, Cornwall sets the bar for UK holiday destinations. From long stretches of sand to the jaw-dropping scenery, this coastal county makes a fabulous retreat for anyone looking to escape the city scene. But most importantly, you quickly realise that you don’t have to fly around the world to seek adventures. With forests, castles and beaches for days, Cornwall is the ultimate staycation - perfect for all ages.
In recent years, Cornwall has come on leaps and bounds and found a newfound style. That being said, discover our range of beautiful large holiday homes in Cornwall to start planning your next holiday!
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThere’s a lot for kids to see and do all over Cornwall. Don’t miss the fascinating Shipwreck Treasure Museum at Charlestown – itself a UNESCO World Heritage Site – where kids can discover artefacts that have been saved from shipwrecks such as the Titanic. Also on a nautical theme, there’s Falmouth’s National Maritime Museum, which presents some impressive exhibitions in its 15 galleries. Voted one of the UK’s most family-friendly museums, this is a great place to learn more about the sea and its important place in Cornish life down the ages.
For more local history, you could head to Truro for the Royal Cornwall Museum. Kids get in free at this large museum which features exhibits around themes such as art, architecture, science and Cornish culture.
In the north of the county, the 18-mile Camel Trail is great for kids who love to cycle. Running between Padstow and Bodmin, this former railway track is also a nice place to take a long walk and you will find plenty of places to stop for a picnic along the way. From the moorlands of Bodmin to the coast, the trail passes through some of the county’s most stunning countryside.
Animal lovers will find lots to delight them at Newquay’s Blue Reef Aquarium, an impressive aquarium full of colourful sea creatures, from reef sharks to turtles and lobsters. Newquay Zoo is another option for a day out, with lions, monkeys and over 100 other species. Elsewhere, try Porfell Wildlife Sanctuary near Looe, with its cute meerkats, or Paradise Park and Jungle Barn near St Ives. This wildlife sanctuary has everything from parrots and penguins to red pandas, as well as an indoor play centre.
Located near Helston, Flambards Theme Park has been a family favourite in Cornwall for many years, and offers lots of fun rides alongside themed exhibits including a replica of a Victorian street. There is yet more fairground fun at Camel Creek Adventure Park near Padstow, while it’s all about getting active at the Adrenaline Quarry near Liskeard. Alongside the more daring adventures, you will find an aquapark and go-karting.
At only 15 minutes from Fowey, it’s well worth making a trip to the famous Eden Project. The stunning biodomes and gardens are just part of the appeal, as there are often special events and child-friendly activities and workshops too. They even stage concerts from big-name acts in the Eden Sessions, and the setting will make for an unforgettable night. For more gardens, you can’t beat the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Kids will particularly love the tropical ‘Jungle’, but there’s loads more to see.
