Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 6 - Polruan, Cornwall

Not far from the historic castle in the pretty fishing village of Polruan, Mayne Cottage promises stunning river views and an unforgettable stay. Spacious and cosy, this property provides all the creature comforts you need to be able to relax into your holiday and adopt that sleepy Cornish pace of life. Wake up in one of the bright and airy bedrooms looking out over the river, make yourself some breakfast and head out onto the patio to take in the view.

Whether you're snuggling up on the sofas in the open plan living area after a long day exploring or cooking up a storm in the large kitchen, Mayne Cottage will feel like a place that you've known for years. Curl up on the window seat in one of the bedrooms with a book and soak up the superb views of the River Fowey. In the evenings, the glow of the wood burner will keep you toasty as you gather round the dining table for a home-cooked supper.

Head down to the centre of Polruan for pubs and cafes just over 300 metres from the property or take the ferry from The Quay over to Fowey to wander the wider selection of shops and eateries. Visit Fowey Aquarium, great for adults and children, before a walk along the South West Coast Path to Readymoney Cove and St Catherine's Castle. For a longer day out, you're only 16 miles in the car from the must-see Eden Project or 18 miles from the National Trust's Lanhydrock House.
