Portside

Portside is a five-bedroom house for ten in Polruan, near Bodinnick and its passenger ferry crossing to Fowey. Every bedroom has a super-king zip-and-link bed that converts to twins, giving the group a flexible mix of five doubles or ten singles across three bathrooms.

Large balconies and the garden look out over sea and coastal views. WiFi, parking, a BBQ, dishwasher and washing machine are included, and up to three dogs can stay. The steep lanes between the hilltop car park and the harbour mean the house is not step-free.

The village's general store, the Lugger pub on the quay and the Russell Inn further up the hill are all within walking distance, along with the beach. The passenger ferry to Fowey, a five-minute crossing that runs every few minutes through the day, departs from the harbour below. Readymoney Cove is 0.4 miles away, Lantic Bay is 1.2 miles via a steep coast path footpath, and Lansallos Beach is 2.6 miles.

**Best for:** Larger groups wanting fully flexible sleeping arrangements, three bathrooms, sea views from the balconies and the short ferry ride to Fowey's restaurants.

**Less good for:** Guests needing step-free access, or more than three bathrooms across a ten-person stay.
