Boatman's Steps - Holiday Cottage in Cornwall

Wow. What a beautiful home. Was incredible and so much better than we thought. Location is great, peaceful. The home is so perfectly decorated. Has everything you could need. He kindly put up a Xmas tree for us. Can’t wait to stay again!

What a beautiful home!

We took two grandchildren (14 and 11) two dogs and a grown up daughter for a weeks stay at Boatmens steps. We had a lovely time, the house was immaculate when we arrived. The beds amazingly comfortable and the lounge very cosy, with smart TV. The view over the harbour was stunning and we were two minutes from the ferry to Fowey which was so reliable. Stunning area with lovely beaches for the kids. We enjoyed using the ladders to get to the little beach at the rear of the house. The owners provided an electric luggage carrier which was a fabulous help to us when emptying and re packing the car! Would definitely recommend this property

Family holiday

The house is everything you could want and more. The interiors are so brilliant and tastefully done but they can’t even compete with the view of the Fowey river. You could spend hours sitting watching all the boats go past in the estuary. Not only that, but there is direct access to the beach below which makes swimming a dream. And after that there is a steaming hot shower in the garden to wash off. Everything is perfect at Boatman’s and we could not have stayed in a better place.

Beautiful Boatmen’s Steps

We loved our stay at this beautiful cottage, located close to the quay and pubs and ferry but magically silent while sleeping at night! Bright and sparkling clean and just a great feeling — we appreciated the fancy hand wash and the board games and gorgeous terrace. Thank you for a wonderful family stay!

Five stars! Favorite rental in Polruan

The perfect location for a family reunion. 
When you drive down the pretty country lanes and glimpse the sea you know you are going to be in for a treat. Parking in the carpark and walking down narrow lanes through the town past cottage gardens and quirky houses the anticipation builds.
Boatmans doesn't disappoint. Charmingly and comfortably decorated without being kitch it is warm and welcoming. Perfect accommodation for 3 couples with all bedrooms being of similar size. The kitchen is well equipped and easy to use and the deck offers views to die for.
So much to explore in the village and beyond and as one of our party sailed down and moored in the bay it has the attraction of a pontoon for easy access to go off for day sailing expeditions.
One of the best holiday cottages I have been to and hope to visit again.
