A gorgeous property with incredible views for four to stay and enjoy a peaceful holiday by the sea. It's near the base of the town with views across the estuary of sparkling water, boats, cottages and meadows on the northern bank. The garden creates a suntrap and has views of the river, a stunning setting for a BBQ at the end of a busy week exploring the stunning Kernow coast.

As you might expect, Cobalt Cottage has a nautical theme with colourful touches throughout. A farmhouse-style table is set beneath a large window that allows light to flood into the living room. Gather together here for a light lunch before wandering down the road to see the harbour or the ruins of Polruan Castle that's only a few hundred feet from the door. Wonderful views and a neutral colour palette has created a peaceful atmosphere suitable for rest and relaxation.

Ferries run across the estuary so you can travel over to explore Fowey, while less than 2 miles from this property you'll find the National Trust-owned Lantic Bay with a stunning sandy beach. When you're ready for a day trip, travel 16 miles to see exotic plants at the Eden Project, wander the streets of busy town St Austell (18 miles) or drive 19 miles to discover The Lost Gardens of Heligan.
