Pentire, on the coastal path

Pulruan is a beautiful fishing village with outstanding views across the estuary to Fowey. The bungalow itself was located at the top of the village and we found Battery Park to be a very quiet and peaceful area. The bungalow is very well equiped and adequate for two persons. The local shop and bakery were sufficient for day to day purchases, and the fresh produce in the grocery shops at Fowey were outstanding. The water taxi service to Fowey was excellent running very frequently throughout the day and well into the evening. Fowey was a charming town with lots of facilities including a good range of places to eat.

We said that we would not stay again which was purely due to the roads getting into and out of Pulruan. We found that the single track roads were very taxing when you met traffic, in particular the road to Fowey's vehicle ferry crossing was very challenging these roads were very dark, narrow and windy, passing through woodland areas where the road was often lined with dry walls and roads were muddy and slippery for much of the journey leading down towards the crossing point. The bungalow is located at the top of the village and it is only possible to unload your vehicle outside if you own a 4 wheel drive or SUV vehicle. We are pensioners and have a car, subsequently we had to make several journeys to and from the public car park with cases and baggage at either end of our stay; although not to far the path's were not surfaced (mixture of grass banks, coastal path track, and an uneven gravel and pot-holed road leading to the property), luckily we had good weather so these were not muddy or slippery underfoot. The village itself is very hilly and not suitable for the faint hearted/elderly people. The walk down to the shops, tearooms, pub and harbour area was steep and returning back to the bungalow was not always welcome at the end of a day out.

Great Location

The location is wonderful, just a short walk to the harbour, to use the ferry to access Fowey.. The kitchen has everything you need, very well set out and nice quality plates etc. , beds are comfortable and the rooms smell amazing! Great wifi signal. Lots of books to read, games too. Very quiet area and great for sight seeing. It was perfect for us as a location. We will return here. The owner is very quick to reply to message too :-)

Lovely views, comfortable and clean property

Great location to explore the coast. We left the car on the car park on arrival and didn’t use it again for the whole week. Easy to get to coastal path, Fowey ferry and Polperro bus. Great views of harbour from living room and back garden.
