River Watch

River Watch is a three-bedroom house spread over three floors in Polruan village, sleeping six across two bathrooms. The bedrooms include a king-size, a twin, and a third room behind a glass partition off the sitting room - an unusual layout that suits a family travelling with younger children or a guest who wants a degree of separation. Two bedrooms and a shower room are on the ground floor, with the third bedroom two floors up. A pathway with steps leads up to parking for two medium cars.

Readymoney Cove is 600m away on foot - a sheltered sandy beach at the mouth of the Fowey estuary. The passenger ferry to Fowey runs from the village quay; the crossing takes around 5 minutes and connects to Fowey's restaurants and shops. Lantic Bay, a National Trust cove with no car access, is 1.2 miles further along the coast path.

This suits couples or families wanting a village base on the Fowey estuary with easy water access. Dog-friendly (1 dog). The washer/dryer is in the ground floor bathroom. Guests who can't manage stairs should note the third bedroom is two floors up and parking is reached via a pathway with steps. Dishwasher and enclosed garden terrace included.

The three-floor layout gives the property more vertical separation between sleeping and living areas than most comparable houses in Polruan. Parking for two medium cars is useful given the village lanes. Lansallos Beach, 2.6 miles along the coast, adds a longer drive option for days when Readymoney Cove is busy in peak season.
