This village has a truly special atmosphere - a world away from the large Cornish resorts, but with swift access to popular Fowey just across the water. It is beautiful at any time of year and right on the coast path. Hill House is a cherished family property, built around 160 years ago for a master mariner - you can see why he chose this spot when you look at the views! Eight guests can stay very
comfortably here; with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a parking spot, huge sunny deck with river views and large garden, it has everything needed for a relaxing break. In the heart of Polruan’s peaceful conservation area, a short but steep walk leads down to the harbour, shop and pubs. National Trust land and AONB surround the village, so it is ideal for keen walkers, and a five minute ferry ride takes you to bustling Fowey, with its wonderful range of shops and restaurants. You really do have the best of both worlds within easy reach. Please note that the house features curving, steep stairs, so it may not be suitable for the elderly or infirm. Young children should be carefully supervised at all times. Downstairs:
Entrance hall with space for coats and boots. Master bedroom with en suite. River view to Fowey. Family bathroom with shower and bath
Utility Room with washer/dryer and airer
Large, well-equipped Kitchen/Diner with dishwasher, fridge freezer and range cooker. French doors to garden. Upstairs:
Twin room with exposed beams. Garden view. King bedroom with Jack and Jill bathroom (shared with twin, ideal for families, or can be secured for sole use). River view to Fowey (you can lie in bed and watch the boats). Comfortable and stylish living area (open to stairs) with wood burning stove (seasonal logs included). Triple aspect: two large windows with outstanding river views to Fowey and a small window to St Saviour's church. Outside:
Unusually for Polruan, Hill House boasts a lovely garden AND a parking space right next to the house! The parking space involves some skill and care (parking sensors are also a help), as it is accessed via a narrow steep lane and a three-point turn. It will accommodate a large SUV e.g. Discovery Sport. The garden is a joy, featuring a large deck with fantastic water views across to Fowey, where you can soak up the sun in complete privacy. The patio, with dining table and chairs, also features river views and there is a level lawn for playing games. The garden is completely enclosed and safe for children, although care should be taken on the steps between levels. Sorry, no dogs are allowed at Hill House. Pricing and availability:
