With an enclosed balcony and patio, mooring and quay for your boat with access to Polruan Quay beach at very low tide Tommys has something for everyone.

With a couple of pubs, a cafe and a village shop Polruan is a place to relax and unwind from the stresses of daily life. Set into the hill the village look across the Fowey Estuary to it's larger cousin which is packed with many independent shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants and is only a short ferry ride.

For those who have come to explore the coastal path's you won't be disappointed by the scenery and from the top of the village you can connect to the South West Coast path and take the challenging but spectacular coastal walk to Polperro, stopping off at the remote beaches of Lansallos and Lantic Bay.

For those who enjoy the water then you have the Fowey Estuary on your doorstep and can venture inland to explore the creeks and inlets or enjoy the open sea from the mouth of the Estuary.
