Description
LOCATION
The Lugger Inn occupies a prime waterfront position on Polruan Quay, nestled in the heart of the historic mariner and shipbuilding village of Polruan. It is situated directly on the eastern bank of the River Fowey estuary, just mere yards from the landing point of the Fowey-Polruan foot ferry. This enviable location provides guests with stunning, panoramic views across the busy harbour and the village of Fowey on the opposite bank. Characterised by its proximity to the water's edge, the inn offers easy access to:
* Beaches: Direct access to small harbour-side beaches (front and back beaches) at low tide.
* Coastal Trails: A starting point for the famous Hall Walk and the South West Coast Path, which leads to the scenic cliffs of Lantic Bay.
* Village Amenities: A short, level walk to with narrow, winding alleys and beautiful Cornish cottages.
