Beautifully furnished and decorated, clean and comfortable

This attractive home exceeded our expectations. Beautifully furnished and decorated, clean and comfortable, it was equipped with everything that we could wish for and the views from its location were remarkable. Helpful instructions and great communication from Olly made it easy to arrange a perfect break in this delightful location. This home deserves its top rating and is strongly recommended.

The cosiest, comfiest house in an idyllic spot

We couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves more. The owners have made the house so comfortable with everything you could possibly think of already there, and with such brilliant local attractions it really is the perfect spot. We all had the most wonderful time.

Such a well designed cottage

Amazing place, such a well designed cottage and the views from the terrace are just breathtaking! Really conveniently located a few steps from the quay for the ferry to Fowey. Would highly recommend, we’ll be back!

The views are spectacular

We had a fantastic week in Polruan staying at Boatman's Steps. The house has everything you need, is very comfortable and the views across to Fowey are spectacular. The terrace also gets the sun all day. Would highly recommend this house and we look forward to going back again soon.

Doesn't get any better!

Look no further. It doesn't get any better than this! Gorgeous house with spectaculair view from most rooms and from the roof terrace. Incredibly comfortable and clean and especially the beds are amazing. Bakery, pub, teahouse, small supermarket and ferry to Fowey around the corner. We could recommend Boatman's Steps to all, but not really suitable for people with walking difficulties. Many stairs in the house and steep hill in the village. You could easily spend a whole summer here. We would like to thank the host, Olly, he was most welcoming!

Everything was perfect

The most beautiful house in the most picturesque harbour. Everything was perfect from initial contact to booking, arriving and (sadly) leaving. Olly was most accommodating of our last minute requests and very responsive. We will definitely be back and highly recommend!

A wonderful stay

The house is very comfortable, with a fantastic view and all the amenities you could need. We had a wonderful stay over the Easter break and were incredibly lucky with the weather. Polruan itself is quite small and very hilly, but it's a great base for visiting other larger areas and we found we easily filled a week. We have two young children - 6 & 8 - and they very much enjoyed visiting the Eden project, Heligan Gardens and Porfell wildlife park, on top of numerous breaches and little towns to walk around.
