A Luxury Retreat in the Heart of Cornwall

A view out to sea from this luxury cornish cottage

Luxury Accommodation with Stunning Views

Looking out from the house you really are spoiled for choice. Uninterrupted views of the Estuary and across to Fowey with glimpses of the Atlantic to your left or the quiet stretch of Polruan village with its adorable little beaches to your right.

The luxury cottage garden (rare for a waterside home in Polruan) is laid with Cornish slate and marble flagstones with bespoke garden furniture and an abundance of foliages and flowers - giving the finest blend of both sea and land.

The Perfect Luxury Retreat

The Old Watch House has something for everyone - perfect for family holidays or weekends away with friends.

The stunning location of Polruan and its sister town of Fowey just across the estuary, has maintained its traditional, quirky and historic Cornish ambience, making your holiday an authentic Cornish experience! From here you can take in a bit of local history, wrap up and go for a stroll along the cliffs and down to the secluded coves and their little beaches or simply choose to do nothing and just relax and unwind.

Discover the Real Cornwall

We are spoilt for choice in Cornwall for breathtaking scenery, gorgeous beaches and award winning attractions and places of interest. The South Coast and particularly Fowey & Polruan provide all of this so you do not need to travel far to experience the best possible holiday, no matter what type you seek.

Slightly further afield are a wide selection of popular visitor attractions such as the Eden Project, Heligan Gardens or the historic fishing ports of Charlestown, Looe or Polperro - so much to choose from right on your doorstep.
