Please note: You’re situated on a quiet road in idyllic Polruan, moments away from the water’s edge and with a private terrace overlooking Fowey Harbour. Formerly a Sea Captain’s House, the renovated Victorian building has bags of character. Sit back in your cosy living room and watch as boats bob by, or tuck into breakfast looking out through your beautiful bay windows. It’s the ideal getaway for rest and relaxation. If you are bringing a vehicle, there is a public car park at the top of St Saviours Hil, which is a fairly steep hill. There are electric charging points in the car park. Once inside, the apartment is all on one level. However, you must climb a set of steps to access it.

The apartment is situated across the river from Fowey, in the village of Polruan. Polruan is an ancient shipbuilding community and fishing village. It climbs to the hillside, bridging the River Fowey, and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village itself is a maze of narrow street alleys and pretty cottages, much loved by its community. With a couple of pubs, a cafè and local shop, Polruan has maintained much of its unspoilt charm. You can access the South West Coastal Path straight from the doorstep, heading to Polperro and passing some stunning remote beaches. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Fowey is known for being one of Cornwall’s most beautiful towns. Wander along cobbled streets soaking up the beauty of grand Georgian houses and medieval buildings. Watch yachts and sailing boats from a waterside pub, enjoy a spot of shopping in the independent boutiques and visit galleries to soak up some local art. If that wasn't enough, the area is also awash with events, such as the famous Fowey regatta. You can reach across to Fowey on the regular passenger ferry - it takes just a few minutes. The ferry runs a daily service, finishing at 11pm during the summer and 7pm in winter - so you have plenty of opportunity to enjoy much of the bustling food scene there.
