The Experience

Polruan is a very old fishing and boat building village surrounded by water on three sides. Your cottage is near the Blockhouse, built in the 14th century to protect the harbour from pirates and the French. The bedrooms are small but very comfortable with king-size beds; one can become a twin room, the other has beautiful harbour views, and they share a bathroom. Upstairs is the living area with more views: the village to one side, the boat-studded estuary on the other.

Join the South West Coast path 50 yards from the door for bracing walks: to Polperro in just over two hours (depending on how fit you are) or further, and then get a taxi or bus back. Catch the foot ferry to Fowey from the village for independent shops, restaurants, cafes and bars. In August the Royal Regatta will be right outside your door.

You’ll find supermarkets in Saltash, Liskeard or St Austell but you can top up at a good general store in the village. Settle by the wood-burner with books, games, Smart TV and music or wander down to one of the pubs in the village for dinner. You can do without your car for most things.

Reviews

I liked the slightly quirky layout of September Cottage, with fabulous open water views you could sit all day and watch the boats and birds coming and going from the Fowey River. Approached on foot down a fairly steep hill, you'll improve your fitness but its worth it. Polruan is well served with pubs, cafe and little shops so if you wish you can go carless all week and stay easily local.

We had an enjoyable stay at the lovely September Cottage. There’s beautiful views from the living room and main bedroom to Fowey. It’s an ideal base to explore from. The hosts are responsive and helpful.

Dawn, Chesterfield

September cottage is in a quiet location with a fabulous view and it was clean and organised. Polruan retains a strong sense of community. We were able to access great coastal walks from the cottage and spend time on local beaches such as Lantic bay, Polkerris and Ready money. We used the ferry mostly and planned just one day out in the car, which meant my husband could relax.. I highy recommend this special place and would return in a heartbeat.

Fiona, Sevenoaks

A great location right in the middle of the village of Polruan with all amenities minutes away on foot. A very cosy comfortable cottage with a fantastic view over the harbour from the sitting room window. Very well placed to catch the ferry across to Fowey and for explorations further afield up and down the coast.

Linda, Castillonnes

September Cottage was exactly as expected from the photos and description. Conveniently situated in Polruan within walking distance of all amenities, including the local pubs. Nicely decorated, spotlessly clean with comfortable beds and nice linen. Lovely. The only thing to draw attention to is the shower over the bath. This could prove problematical for any person who is not agile, possibly with mobility issues. We received full access instructions to the cottage beforehand and suggestions of things to do in the area, all very comprehensive.

It has a couple of pubs which do good food, a tea shop, a bakery and the general store. You're on the South West Coast Path for fabulous walking.
