West Winds, Fore Street, Polruan by Fowey

West Winds is a dog-friendly B&B on Fore Street in Polruan, the hillside village facing Fowey across the mouth of the River Fowey. With sea views, a hot tub, and a 9.4 Booking.com rating from 33 reviews, it scores 10 for staff and 9.8 for both comfort and cleanliness. Host Alison Stevens provides breakfast with continental, buffet, vegetarian, and vegan options - including warm dishes, juice, and fruit.

Inside, the property has a private bathroom with spa bath, a lounge, and a shared kitchen. A washing machine, free wifi, and bicycle parking add practical convenience. Special diet menus are available at breakfast, making this a flexible choice for guests with dietary requirements.

A sun terrace and garden with outdoor seating take advantage of the elevated position above the estuary. Free on-site parking is provided at the top of the village - a real advantage in Polruan, where the narrow lanes and steep gradients make parking difficult.

Polruan's year-round passenger ferry crosses to Fowey in about 5 minutes, giving easy access to restaurants, shops, and the Daphne du Maurier Literary Centre. Readymoney Cove Beach is 19 minutes away. The National Trust's Hall Walk - a 4-mile circular route along the estuary through woodland - starts from Bodinnick, about a mile north. Lantic Bay, a remote sandy beach, lies along the coast path to the east.
