Escape to the coast for a family holiday full of fun and festivity. Immerse yourself in the Cornish way of life and stroll less than half a mile to Polruan Quay for a morning waterside wander with something tasty in hand from the local bakery. Continue the day's adventures by hopping on the ferry, exploring the spectacular sandy beaches and picnicking in glorious secluded spots. With space for everyone to find a moment of peace and rooms perfect for communal evenings, you can fill this home with laughter and create memories to last a lifetime.

The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen/diner, a fantastically large space with a sleek contemporary feel and plenty of spots to gather, cook and chat. Rise and shine and congregate around the island with a cup of tea in hand and discuss what the day has to offer before making use of this fantastic space and inviting all hands on deck to experiment with flavour or rustle up a tasty brunch. For easy evening meals, get the BBQ roaring and tuck into an al fresco feast as little ones play to their hearts' content in the fresh air. As the night draws in, step back inside and settle down on the comfortable corner sofa to stay warm in front of the TV. The lounge has a welcoming bright feel to it thanks to the patio doors which can be thrown open on sunny days. Rest weary heads and get a refreshing night's sleep in the charming bedrooms, one of which is situated on the ground floor with its own en-suite. Climb the stairs and reach the three further rooms and the family bathroom with luxurious free-standing bath. Guests who stay in the master room are treated to a romantic balcony with spectacular views. All upstairs rooms have quirky sloping ceilings due to sitting in the eaves of the house.
