Fairview is fantastic- beautiful property with amazing views in a super little village. It is not very accessible, but as long as you’re okay with this it is part of its charm. We loved the local walks and going across to Fowey. We went in October half term and Polruan was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. I imagine it gets very busy in summer.
Mrs Parker September 2023
Great place to stay for access to coastal walking, local pub, Fowey's facilities and the ferries. All without moving the car!
Mrs Dalton July 2023
We had an amazing stay at Fairview! The house was beautiful, really comfortable and offered everything we could need. The views are absolutely stunning, perfect to relax and unwind. The location is lovely, nice and quiet but with Fowey just a short ferry trip away you have everything you can need. I would highly recommend this property and look forward to returning some day! Thank you The Daltons and Huey ??
Mr Read June 2023
Polruan is a good alternative to the busier Fowey and just a ferry ride away. The house is spacious, close to the harbour and ferry and the views from all the principal rooms, and the super garden, are unbeatable. The Lugger Inn was friendly, busy and served good food. Once you have navigated the route to Bodinnick the car ferry is a great way to get to locations further west. We have put our reservation in for next year.
Mrs Forsdike April 2023
Fairview was an absolutely beautiful house with fabulous views. Polruan is quite difficult to access with very narrow roads but once you are there and parked it is easy to catch the ferry over to Fowey. The harbour is only a couple of minutes walk from the house. It is quite expensive to catch the ferry over though for a family of five! The house was very well equipped, beautifully clean and the beds were very very comfortable. You can never tire of the amazing view. The South Coast path is also on your doorstep with fantastic walking and views. We had a lovely stay!

We're so pleased to see that you loved the house - the views really are spectacular! Catching the ferry across to explore Fowey is a wonderful way to spend the day - the fare is currently around £2.80 per adult but you can check out the up to date price and schedule on the Polruan Ferry website or Facebook page.

If you are happy to wander along the coastal path, take the very frequent passenger ferry to Fowey, drink and eat in the excellent Lugger Inn (and Fowey) and sit in the cottage and garden taking in the marvellous view then this is the place for you. Leave the car in the car park!
Mrs Cheasley September 2022
Great location if you are fit! Great coastal walks & the cottage is well equipped. It is quite a walk from the carpark with all your gear & a very steep slope to approach of cottage so not for anyone with disabilities. As it is self catering obviously people bring their own food so quite a lot of tooing & froing . No food shop of any significance for miles. The pub food in Polruan was very basic so couldn’t eat there…. Fowey was good for food but last ferry back 7.45pm Polperro & Looe were great. I wouldn’t like to be there when it’s raining!

Thanks so much for sharing your review - we're so glad you enjoyed the property. Polruan is a small village but does boast a well stocked village shop, a bakery, local produce in the Post Office as well as a number of options for pub dining or take home meals, if you fancy a break from cooking! Most supermarkets will deliver to Polruan if you book ahead. We hope you had a great stay overall. Tanya, Customer Support
Mrs Warrington August 2022
We loved the house and the views were stunning
Mrs Stokes October 2021
This is an exceptionally comfortable and well equipped house with stunning views - the perfect spot to escape from it all. The parking permit was much appreciated as access into and out of the village is (as you would expect) somewhat precarious, but you do still need to be reasonably fit and active to get around, particularly when loading and unloading on arrival/departure. The house and location more than made up for any slight inconvenience with that though, and we would whole heartedly recommend!!
Mrs Weston October 2021
This is a wonderful cottage with amazing views. However, I would say it's not for older, slightly disabled people as the walk from the car to the cottage entails taking luggage down a very steep slope with steps and, even worse, pulling luggage back up again on departure.
Miss Webb September 2021
Lovely well equipped cottage with beautiful views. Loved having a morning cup of tea watching the ever changing view. Just need to point out though that this area is not suitable for elderly or disabled people as is in a very steep area.
Mrs Payne August 2021
Gorgeous location, well equipped, comfortable house. Views stunning.
Ms Neville July 2021
If you want a get away from it all holiday and leave the car for the duration parked it’s entirely possible staying here. There’s a little local shop and a bakery, two pubs. The walking is fabulous. Views across the estuary are stunning.
Mrs Chapman-Brown June 2021
Fair view Cottage is absolutely beautiful. Spotlessly clean and very much a home from home. The views are spectacular and the bed very comfortable. It was lovely to lie in bed and watch the boats coming and going in the harbour. It is also very well equipped so you really can go to town in the kitchen if that is your thing! I would definitely recommend arriving in the daylight, especially if you have any eyesight or mobility issues and bringing food with you for the first night as due to Covid you need to book ahead for restaurants. There are some really beautiful walks straight out of Polruan but again, some of them are challenging so make sure you can handle them. We had a lovely, relaxing week in a beautiful home and can wholeheartedly recommend it.
Mrs Holloway May 2021
We had a fabulous stay and enjoyed the stunning views over the estuary. Comfortable, well equipped cottage. Lovely welcome tray with local tea, coffee and biscuits.
Mrs Noyce April 2021
Another lovely "classic" break. Fairview is a wonderful comfortable and well equipped property with amazing views over the harbour and estuary and a small sunny garden. Easy access to lots of great ( hilly) walks along the coast and inland.
Mrs Nader August 2020

Thanks so much for your review. We do have many properties within our portfolio which suit guests with specific mobility considerations - Fairview is set over two floors in quite an elevated position, and the parking is a short walk away so it may not work for everyone but our friendly Booking Office team would be delighted to give more information to help guests make a decision.

Mr McCormick July 2019
This is our second visit to Fairview and we love this comfortable house with it’s stunning views from every window and garden. Polruan is a peaceful location with lovely walks and it’s easy to take the ferry either by foot or car over to Fowey for the shops and restaurants. We would definitely recommend staying there and we can’t wait to return.

Mrs Douch September 2018
Lovely setting. Very comfortable cottage with everything you need. Would happily recommend.
Mrs Freeman July 2018
The views are to die for and the peace and tranquality of Polruan with the ability to cross the estuary to Fowey for a more lively atmosphere make this an ideal holiday destination. The house is ideally situated but be aware of steep hills and narrow road access.

Mrs Peake September 2017
Beautiful views
Mrs Davies April 2017
Exceptional holiday home with stunning views from most rooms. You can while away hours just watching the boats. We went on some great walks. Food in local pubs is excellent, especially fish at the Lugger. It's great fun going backwards and forwards on both the car and passenger ferries. Treated ourselves to dinner at The Fowey Hotel on the last night. Was very good. People in the village are very friendly. We can't wait to go back.
Mr Stakes April 2017
Fairview is a fantastic cottage. The views over the harbour and across to Fowey are amazing. The interior is beautiful with everything you need for a very comfortable holiday. The car park space close by is a bonus too. We wouldn't hesitate to come back again.
