Holiday Cottages With Hot Tubs In Polruan

What our customers say about their holidays

  This is a superbly appointed property which affords excellent accommodation for up to 8 adults.

  The property is high spec with top of the range white goods, all fairly new, two kitchens, and lots of quality touches like the movement activated night lights integral to the bathrooms, which are well designed with excellent showers and one bath on the ground floor. The master bedroom has superb views over to Fowey through the balcony doors. We did not use the BBQ but again its a top of the range Webber BBQ, we did use the hot tub which had easy to operate instructions and plenty of room for all with good outside lighting. Polruan itself is small but has two friendly pubs, and the Lugger does food all day, nice breakfast. There is a local store which stocks all the essentials and a bakery, and a cafe which serves food, the Russell Inn were happy for food purchased in the cafe to be eaten in the pub as they are under common ownership. The foot passenger ferry works really well providing swift easy access to Fowey, be sure to check times of the last one back. The car ferry further up is also easy to use but possibly more challenging in the busier months. Access to Polruan is challenging the local roads are very narrow and we preferred to loop into town staying on the B3359 towards Polperro and then taking the local roads as late as possible. Polruan is effectively pedestrianised and it is not possible to get a vehicle up to the property so unloading and loading may take a little time especially as the town is on a steep slope which gives great views but means you are walking up (or down) each trip. There are then 14 steps when you get to the property. Despite arrival and departure requiring a little thought and some effort the benefit of enjoying the luxurious accommodation once settled more than made up for the effort. The car park at the top was £30 for 7 days if aid in advance and you can pay by card. We enjoyed our stay very much and will return.

  WOW, Postcard Lodge is 5 star luxury home.

  We have recently stayed at the property, 6 adults, a baby and a small dog visiting friends who live in beautiful Fowey. It’s an immaculate property with amazing views and facilities. The owners really have thought of everything you would need for your stay. Parking is at the top of Polruan at a cost of £30 per week and yes, as previous previous reviews have mentioned access to the property is a little hilly however the property with its stunning views and facilities are worth the little extra effort. Polruan itself is a gorgeous little fishing village with 2 pubs, a bakery and a little store stocked with things you may have forgotten - we had a Sainsbury’s delivery the day we arrived. We ate at the Lugger pub, delicious food. We also had a takeout of fish and chips one evening from there which we ate on our beautiful sunny patio. The Russell pub has quiz nights a few times a week which we thoroughly enjoyed. The ferry crossing to Fowey is idyllic, day & night. Its costs £5.60 for a return and runs from 7am to 11pm. At Fowey we ate at the Pintxo tapas bar, the Haveners (pub grub), the Harbour Hotel (fine dining) and the Indian restaurant. We would highly recommend all of them. We travelled to Looe, Polperro and St Ives, all of which are beautiful places however we were always pleased to get back home to our idyllic village of Polruan. Overall we had a fabulous holiday and would highly recommend Postcard Lodge - it’s what Cornish holiday dreams are made of. We’ll definitely be back!

  Great family holiday

  Just returned from spending a week at the Catchfrench Manor house. We had a large family group ranging from 2 to 86 and everybody loved it. The house is spacious with enough large areas for groups and lots of quiet rooms if you want to escape. The house is accessible in all areas as it has a lift for those a bit shaky on their feet and was a key attraction for us. The property is in a private rural setting where all you can hear are the birds. The grandchildren enjoyed watching the cows nearby and Albert the duck and his family on the pond. The variety of outside spaces enabled all ages to relax, play and hone their croquet skills - or learn new ones. The youngest ones were able to practise their new found cycling abilities on the tarmac and the grass. The house is well equipped for cooking, eating and playing together. We were lucky to have glorious weather so didn't get to use all of the indoor amenities fully. We were really pleased to have the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful home, enjoying time with our extended family.

  The Cart House is the most magnificent place to stay.

  You couldn't wish for better accommodation or better hosts. A lovely welcome on arrival with a milk and orange juice in the fridge and tea and coffee provided. The barn conversion is really clean and modern with bluetooth speakers installed, Smart TV's in each room and other little quirky gadgets which is just great. Everything you would need is provided. A laundry room is available with washing machine and tumble dryer. All towels, tea towels and bedding are provided as is fully equipped kitchen with every pan and utensil you would need plus a Tassimo coffee machine! The Orchard containing the hot tub is just a dream, it has it's own private little bar and the scenery around you is fantastic. Some people may be put off by the fact there is a kennels and cattery on site - don't be. The animals didn't disturb us at all - we didn't really know they were there to be honest. A massive thank you to Matt and his family for making us feel so welcome. We will be back! :-)
