Mayne Cottage

Mayne Cottage is a three-bedroom cottage for six in Polruan, a working boatbuilding village whose source history dates to the 1300s. Its open-plan living space and large bay windows look across the Fowey Estuary. The bedrooms comprise a super king-size, a twin and a double with an en-suite. A downstairs shower room and a large family bathroom with a bath bring the total to three bathrooms.

A multi-fuel burner sits in the living area, while French doors open onto a private enclosed patio. Wi-Fi, a dishwasher and a washing machine are included, and the dining table seats six. A utility area also has a tumble dryer. Up to two dogs are accepted. A luggage drop-off point is outside the cottage, but parking is in a nearby car park, about a five-minute walk up the hill.

Readymoney Cove is 600m away. A passenger ferry crosses the estuary to Fowey for shops, restaurants and St Catherine's Castle. The South West Coast Path connects towards Lantic Bay, recorded 1.2 miles away. The Bodinnick guide covers the nearest structured town area on this side of the estuary.

**Best for:** a family or three couples wanting estuary views, three distinct bedroom types, three bathrooms, a contained patio and room for two dogs. **Less good for:** guests needing step-free access or a location where every Fowey attraction can be reached without using the passenger ferry.
