2 Bedroom Cottage in Polruan, Fowey

Lilac Cottage is a stone built two bedroom fisherman's cottage. It has been contemporarily renovated whilst still retaining its charm and feel of a coastal cottage. It offers a comfortable base to explore the magnificent Cornish coastline. We have deliberately chosen not to allow pets, as although we know many people love their four-legged friends, we want to ensure that those who are not so keen are welcomed to a pet-free zone!
On entering Lilac Cottage you will find an open-plan kitchen/living area offering a fully fitted kitchen including integrated dishwasher, fridge & oven with grill, ceramic touch hob, extractor hood & microwave. Should you decide to cook, one can see across the Fowey estuary and the boats sailing on it!
The living area (looking out towards the courtyard garden) has an eating area for 4 persons - small table with bench seating either side and a comfy seating area including sofa, beech framed armchair & small armless upholstered window chair. A traditional cast iron woodburning stove is the centerpiece for lighting during the cold winter months although a wall-mounted panel radiator is available for use. A small flat screen television & DVD player is also available.
A small but fairly steep turned staircase with handrail & rope bannister takes you to the first floor....
The first floor offers two bedrooms; one being a double room with built in wardrobe (overlooking the courtyard garden & village), the other offering a 3ft single bed with another 3ft pull-out adult bed under should it be required. This bed may be raised to the same level as the first. This room also has a built in wardrobe and overlooks the stunning Fowey estuary. Both bedrooms have space-saving stripped-pine sliding doors. The simple but contemporary renovated bathroom offers an electric shower, small sink, w.c. and electric towel rail. In addition, there is underfloor heating for those cold winter months (available between October-April).
To the front of the property is a small contained paved outside area suitable for relaxing for those all important drinks & 'al-fresco' dining. At the end of the paved area is an outbuilding which contains a washing machine, folding garden furniture and storage facilities should you be bringing your paddleboard or storing those muddy boots!
With this cottage also comes a dedicated parking space within the village (approximately 5-10 minutes walk - depending on how quickly one walks up the hill!) thereby avoiding any car parking charges. There is space outside the cottage to unload/load a vehicle prior to moving it to the parking space provided. There is parking on the Quay (2 mins from the cottage) but this is payable, limited in size and cannot be booked in advance.
We are pleased to offer free wifi at the cottage for all that can't be without their devices! The public house in the village also offers this free to its customers.
For those that enjoy walking, walks can start immediately from outside the property; Hall Walk, through National Trust woodland, along the Estuary to Boddinick & the car ferry across to Fowey (as a foot passenger) & then back on the Polruan ferry - a great circular walk. Alternatively, turn left & walk up over the cliffs following the coastal path to Talland Bay & Polperro where the bus service stops on its way back to Polruan
Finally, for those who follow the 'Poldark' series, some of the key locations can be easily reached. Charlestown has been used for tall sail boat settings (45 minutes away), the National Trust's Levant Mine (which doubles as the rolling mill where Poldark's copper is processed) is 1.5 hours away and St Agnes famed for Poldark's horseback gallops is 1 hour away towards Cornwall's north coast. In addition, Bodmin Moor that is the setting for Poldark's home is 30 minutes away. Please note timings are approximate and are made by car.
The Eden Project is 40 minutes away and now provides excellent facilities as a concert venue for well known bands and singers (cross via car ferry from Boddinick to Fowey). The Lost Gardens of Heligan and National Trust Lanhydrock are also well worth a visit & Bodmin Jail offers something for all ages.

Summary: This property was shown as 9.8 rating it is more like 6.5 it was clean and very modern in places but rather old and damp in other places. But we had a very good stay and enjoyed out visit. The owner was very helpful.
Julie R. Sep 17, 2024 02:02:07 AM
Summary: Lovely stay at lilac cottage, and great for getting the passenger ferry to Fowey. Little shop good for getting essentials, Bakery marvellous Lugger Inn very nice and friendly, give the Russell Inn pub in village a miss.
Brian h. Sep 15, 2024 01:29:26 AM
Summary: Great location, quiet village. Lovely pubs, cafes and local store. Accommodation was comfortable, however lacked basic condiments normally provided in our experience. Whilst our host generously provided towels these are not included. We had hired a car and using Polruan as a base to visit Cornwall, however did not realise how torturous the roads were accessing Polruan and surrounds. This aspect took a toll on our ability to enioy the surrounds. Suggest stay Polruan to hike and explore locally eg. Fowey, not to travel around.

Summary: really enjoyed our break in Cornwall, thanks for everything, cottage is really well located.
Justin O. Aug 3, 2024 03:16:35 PM
Summary: This really is a perfect place to enjoy Cornwall. A great location and a lovely traditional fisherman’s cottage. 30 secs from the shops, the cafe, the pub and the sea. Right next to the ferry to Fowey. Both the kids had a fantastic time as did the adults. Good comms from the owner. I will re-book without a doubt.

Summary: We have a lovely and relaxing stay. Although the pubs in Polruan is a bit basic but the village shop stocks fresh vegs with plenty of local products. The ferry to Fowey is very convenient and enables us to not use the car whole week. Nearby Polperro and Looe is accessible by the bus but you do need to plan ahead as it is infrequent. We very much enjoyed the view from the second bedroom over the boat yard and seeing the launching of fishing boats after the works. The hills are not easy but this is a typical Cornish setting that can’t be avoided. We will revisit in future.

Summary: Our stay in the cottage was very nice. We were there with four adults. It is small, but it has everything you need. The beds are very comfortable. Both pubs and the small grocery store are a few minutes' walk away. Also the ferry to Fowey. You can only drive to the cottage by car to load and unload. The road is very narrow. The path to the car park is relatively steep (16%), but you've already done your morning exercise. If you walk quickly, you'll be at the top in 10 minutes. The access road to Polruan is also very narrow (over 10 km long), but after a few days you get used to it. All in all, we had a really nice stay there and felt very comfortable. We would come back.
Julia H. Sep 30, 2023 06:00:06 AM
Summary: We loved our stay in Polruan. The weather was fabulous and the cottage was just as hoped. The location in the village centre was perfect for very easy access to the bakers, shop, cafe, pubs, bus stop, coastal path and the ferry to Fowie. Made the most of all of these. The cottage was very well equipped, tastefully furnished and comfortable. Easy to unload car before parking it up the hill. Then we didn’t need to use the car all week, which was nice. Hope to return sometime.

Summary: Great place. Nice village, our children could go on their own to buy milk etc. Beaches are nearby
Susanna R. Aug 19, 2023 06:00:04 AM
Summary: Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting by the Polruan harbour. The village is very friendly and it was a bonus getting the ferry across to Fowey.
