Postcard Lodge, Polruan

Postcard Lodge is a stunning modern property with everything you could possibly need. The beds are super comfy, and the layout works brilliantly for a large group, with plenty of different zones to spread out and relax. I travelled by train from Nottingham direct, no changes while my husband drove down I am not a fan of motorways. My point is its absolutely doable by train. A taxi from the station is around 60, and you can easily enjoy the area without needing a car. The view is the absolute highlight. Truly breathtaking. Access is steep, to say the least, but after a day you do get used to it think of it as a free cardio workout lol! For arrival and departure, getting dropped and picked up from the harbour is definitely best, as you can walk down rather than up to the car park. Everyone we met was so friendly. We loved the boat trip to Fowey, and Looe is brilliant for shopping and fresh fish. The hosts were available if needed, though we had no issues during our stay. Will we be back DEFINITELY!! I would suggest an air fryer and a repaint of the white wall outside

Postcard Lodge is perfectly situated for a relaxing break close to the town centre. It was impeccably clean and well presented. The owners responded immediately to any queries we had which were only regarding the TV as everything else was perfect. If you can manage the steep access then this is the perfect place for friends and family to enjoy a very comfortable break

This was our second time here and again we loved the house and the area. A perfect holiday house, with comfort the beds, great layout social open plan space, facilities multiple bathrooms, TVs, hot tub, and a great big plus the incredible view. The only negative is the steep trek down from the car park with the luggage, but all that gets forgotten with the many plus points. We had the best time, thank you.

A bit hairy driving to where we could unpack the car. Then took us a while to actually find the property, probably more down to us! Anyway once we were unpacked and settled we could appreciate how lucky we were to be staying here. Stunning views across the estuary 24 hours a day. The house offers everything you could possibly need including a hot tub. Beds very comfortable. Great showers. Wifi hit and miss but thats to be expected. We crossed over to Fowey several times on the ferry. Tried to get to Mevagissey but we were too far down the queue to get on the boat. If you want to take this trip you need to start queuing early. Walked to Gribbin point and Polperro. Visited The Eden project and Charlestown where they were filming beyond paradise. Lots of National Trust places to visit too. Weve had a fabulous stay and loved the house and surrounding area.

Review for Postcard Lodge Our stay at Postcard Lodge was nothing short of incredible. The house itself was beautiful and impeccably clean, with a wellstocked kitchen that made meal preparation a breeze. The views from the living room, kitchen, and rooftop terrace were simply breathtaking, offering a perfect backdrop for our holiday. An unexpected highlight was the extra kitchen upstairs, which wasnt mentioned in the listing but turned out to be a fantastic bonus. It was incredibly useful for the rooftop area and BBQs, allowing us to enjoy delicious meals outdoors. The beds were exceptionally comfy, ensuring restful nights for everyone. The kids loved the upstairs games room, which they transformed into a cozy movie room in the evenings while the adults enjoyed our own movie night on the large TV downstairs. The local shop nearby stocked everything we needed to top up after our Asda delivery, and both pubs right on our doorstep served fantastic food. We particularly enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch at the Lugger Inn. The small beach provided hours of fun for our children, and the takeaway fish and chips from the Lugger Inn were a delightful treat. The best part? We didnt use the car at all during our stay, as there was so much to do right from the house, making it a truly relaxing getaway. We also spent plenty of time fishing during our stay, and my husband even caught a seabass from the pier. Adrian and Sue were exceptional hosts, always available to help with anything we needed. Its safe to say that we will definitely be back again. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean, high spec. Has amazing views. The only thing that wasnt working was the Electric BBQ it was showing a fault and would trip the electric. We have informed the owners and said they would have a look at it. The owner was very responsive of any questions we had prior to arriving at Postcard Lodge. Would definitely recommend staying.

Beautiful house and perfect location. Thank you for a lovely stay. Definitely fitter with all the hills & steps. Had some lovely walks. Highly recommend Lantic Bay but be prepared for a climb up after but well worth it as the bay is beautiful. Highly recommend this house for comfort and location

Postcard Lodge is a wonderful property and we really enjoyed our stay. The house was spacious, clean and very well cared for. Attention to detail and it had everything you could possibly need for your stay. Bedrooms well set out with comfy beds and plenty of wardrobe space, bathrooms all to a high standard and powerful showers. Roof terrace was a great space, we were not so lucky with the weather so didnt use it as much as would have liked but the hot tub was great. Views are amazing. The house is in the middle of a steep path, which could be difficult for anyone with bad knees and you have to park at the top car park but it helped us all get our daily steps. We paid 35 to park in the car park for a week, there were plenty of places but may struggle in the high season. Two minute walk to the ferry which takes you over to Fowey and we drove out to Polperrin which is close by. I would without a doubt book this house again, it was wonderful.

Beautiful property in a lovely quiet location.

We all, from 9 to 76, had a lovely holiday in Postcard Lodge. Polruan certainly tested even the fittest of us, but the house, setting, facilities and comfort meant we had to drag ourselves away at the end of the week. The Lugger Inn, bakery, cafe, brilliant village shop and the novelty of frequent ferry rides all added to the experience. Even the weather was kind, so we had a perfect holiday.

Wow what a lovely property, everything spot on, clean and tidy and the views to die for. Yes it is a trek to the property, but it is so worth it. Thanks Adrian and Sue. From Andy, Anita, John & Julie

Lovely, comfortable house, furnished and fitted out to a very high standard and in a great location with superb views across the estuary and river.

Postcard Lodge was all we wanted from a holiday cottage. Fantastic views, amazing house so well layed out with everything you could ever need. The quality of everything was second to none. Yes it is a climb up to the house but this is Cornwall and most villages this old are like this but dont be put off by that the views from most angles of the house are worth that climb. We had a very enjoyable holiday and would certainly come back to Postcard Lodge. Thanks also to Adrian our host who was very helpful throughout our stay

We had a lovely time at Postcard Lodge but unfortunately for us Polruan and accommodation was far too hilly. The thought of going out and climbing back up the hills put us off going out sometime.Also not really suitable for young children because of stairs to kitchen.We still spent lovely time in Hot Tub and went to Fowey a few times.

The description of how to drive as close as possible to the property was useful, but it would have been very helpful to have a description of where to walk once we got to the top of School Lane. It took us ages to find Postcard Lodge, looking about in every direction. We found the stone stairs between the kitchen and the lounge area treacherous, since they are black and stony, and twice nearly tumbled it down them. As nice as the open plan room is, taking the chrome rail across the top of the steps to leave a smaller gap may prevent a serious injury to a guest in the future, and we highly recommend it. All that said we loved Postcard Lodge! It was a superb venue for our nuptials.

Postcard lodge was a dreamy Cornish getaway, we loved everything about our weeks stay here The luxury living space, the hot tub with an amazing view, the spacious bedrooms with the added bonus of comfortable mattresses and the social living and kitchen area. Everything about this property was well thought out and planned, the kitchen was one of the most well stocked holiday homes weve been to. There is plenty of bathrooms for everyone, the owners have really outdone themselves in terms of quality holiday provision. Like previous reviews have mentioned you dont get car access to the front of the property but this in no way should put you off, its definitely some extra effort when arriving and leaving but it certainly added a little adventure to our half term break and gave us a laugh when we arrived in the dark. We travelled as a party of seven four adults and three teenagers and there was plenty of space for us all. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring this side of Cornwall and having postcard lodge as our base was a real treat.

This is a superbly appointed property which affords excellent accommodation for up to 8 adults. The property is high spec with top of the range white goods, all fairly new, two kitchens, and lots of quality touches like the movement activated night lights integral to the bathrooms, which are well designed with excellent showers and one bath on the ground floor. The master bedroom has superb views over to Fowey through the balcony doors. We did not use the BBQ but again its a top of the range Webber BBQ, we did use the hot tub which had easy to operate instructions and plenty of room for all with good outside lighting. Polruan itself is small but has two friendly pubs, and the Lugger does food all day, nice breakfast. There is a local store which stocks all the essentials and a bakery, and a cafe which serves food, the Russell Inn were happy for food purchased in the cafe to be eaten in the pub as they are under common ownership. The foot passenger ferry works really well providing swift easy access to Fowey, be sure to check times of the last one back. The car ferry further up is also easy to use but possibly more challenging in the busier months. Access to Polruan is challenging the local roads are very narrow and we preferred to loop into town staying on the B3359 towards Polperro and then taking the local roads as late as possible. Polruan is effectively pedestrianised and it is not possible to get a vehicle up to the property so unloading and loading may take a little time especially as the town is on a steep slope which gives great views but means you are walking up or down each trip. There are then 14 steps when you get to the property. Despite arrival and departure requiring a little thought and some effort the benefit of enjoying the luxurious accommodation once settled more than made up for the effort. The car park at the top was 30 for 7 days if aid in advance and you can pay by card. We enjoyed our stay very much and will return.

Postcard Lodge certainly lives up to its name the views are spectacular. As was the property. Everything was high quality and the level of cleanliness superb. The only issue to be aware of, as many others have mentioned, is the steepness of the streets and the stairs up to the property. But we managed fine with a retinue aged from 3 months to 60. The property owner was also really helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending Postcard Lodge.

Beautiful property, well equipped, they have thought of everything. Fabulous views and lovely outdoor space with the hot tub an added bonus. Great places to visit, Fowey and Polperro definitely worth visiting and hiring a boat to go up river is great fun. Pack wisely, the trip up and down from the carpark with your luggage is not for the faint hearted.

WOW, Postcard Lodge is 5 star luxury home. We have recently stayed at the property, 6 adults, a baby and a small dog visiting friends who live in beautiful Fowey. Its an immaculate property with amazing views and facilities. The owners really have thought of everything you would need for your stay. Parking is at the top of Polruan at a cost of 30 per week and yes, as previous previous reviews have mentioned access to the property is a little hilly however the property with its stunning views and facilities are worth the little extra effort. Polruan itself is a gorgeous little fishing village with 2 pubs, a bakery and a little store stocked with things you may have forgotten we had a Sainsburys delivery the day we arrived. We ate at the Lugger pub, delicious food. We also had a takeout of fish and chips one evening from there which we ate on our beautiful sunny patio. The Russell pub has quiz nights a few times a week which we thoroughly enjoyed. The ferry crossing to Fowey is idyllic, day & night. Its costs 5.60 for a return and runs from 7am to 11pm. At Fowey we ate at the Pintxo tapas bar, the Haveners pub grub, the Harbour Hotel fine dining and the Indian restaurant. We would highly recommend all of them. We travelled to Looe, Polperro and St Ives, all of which are beautiful places however we were always pleased to get back home to our idyllic village of Polruan. Overall we had a fabulous holiday and would highly recommend Postcard Lodge its what Cornish holiday dreams are made of. Well definitely be back!

Everything was perfect. Beautiful house with luxury bedding, furniture etc.. The location was amazing with views to die for. The owners have thought of everything even down to cover ups after being in the hot tub. It was one of the best properties I have stayed in! We will be back if I can afford it.

Wonderful property to stay in , stayed a week over Christmas. Perfect in every detail but you need to be young & fit to get up the hills . I would definitely recommend to others . Val Patience .

Stunning. Attention to detail exceptional. Views amazing.

Postcard lodge is glorious! ! The most beautiful house in a most spectacular location. The only issue was the climb to get to the house but that gave us an excuse to eat even more of the local delicacies! We certainly left fitter. Facilities were excellent and we have never been to a holiday home that was so well equipped with literally everything you could need. The Lugger Inn down the hill was a fabulous pub and the little ferry to Fowey was so easy to use giving us even more choice of places to eat. We loved everything!!!

What a property and what a view! The finish of this property is exceptional. There certainly has been no expense spared. The surprise extra of a kitchen upstairs close to the outside hot tub is a genius edition. The views are incredible from the kitchen, master bedroom and outside spaces looking to Fowey. Sadly though this property is not suitable if you have mobility issues. Both directions are steep and you cant park particularly close to loadunload the car before dropping it to the car park. We stayed for a week, two families totally 8, plenty of space for us all and the children. Bedrooms were massive, bathrooms luxurious and spacious, games room for the kids. Hot tub for us adults! We were very lucky with the weather and often took the Fowey ferry taxi, return for a family of 5 was 21 and 3 was approx 13.20 Lovely owners very helpful. In terms of rating this has five star quality property and views. Thank you

The house was great very clean and very comfortable I will be back again

High spec comfortable property with fantastic views of Fowey. We went for a relaxing break and really enjoyed our week at Postcard cottage.

Fantastic property, very clean, well equipped, awesome views. Would definitely recommend. The whole village is on a hill so make sure you are able bodied! Lots of walking up hills and steps, but worth it. We will be back.

We had an amazing stay at Postcard lodge, we stayed for a week with 3 generations of the family. Everything was as advertised amazing views, decorated and equipped to a high spec, and hot tub was perfect on a rainy day! Would definitely recommend this place, the owners were also extremely helpful.

We had an amazing time and the house was lovely but we probably would not have booked with a baby if we had realised what a trek it is up and down from the car park to the house.

Post Card Lodge is a beautiful property it was so comfortable and really well equipped everything is such good quality and all in great condition The view from the terrace and balcony is stunning and we loved having the hot tub. The local area is beautiful and plenty to do lovey walks and quaint villages to visit

A clearly marked map of location of the property for arrival.

Postcard Lodge was fantastic! Such a lovely house to stay in to explore Cornwall. The views from the balcony were amazing over to Fowey harbour. The rooms are decorated to such a high standard and everything was immaculate! A huge plus were both the games room and hot tub!
