The house is usually ready from 4pm on Friday and the week’s let runs to 10.30am the following Friday. We are happy to send you a welcome arrival text to let you know when the house is ready for you, which can be particularly helpful after a long journey; if we are ahead of schedule it means you can get settled earlier!

Central heating, electricity and high quality linen and bath towels are included, but we ask you to bring your own beach towels and bedding for the travel cot.

An initial supply of kindling and firewood will be at the house to get you started, but thereafter supplies are available at the wonderful Lerryn River Stores, or some local garages.

There is now good mobile signal at the house, however the house phone is available to use, should you need it.

There is space for two cars immediately outside the house, plus additional off-road parking for a further car and/or small dinghy trailer.

For families with boats, small dinghies and kayaks can be launched at high tide from the private orchard. To launch either bigger boats, or ensure water access at all tidal stages, Penpoll’s proximity to Penmarlam Boatyard & Moorings – less than a 5 minute drive away – is a huge bonus.

We are very happy to give further details, so please contact us if you would like more information or see the Fowey Harbour website.

There are a number of nearby options for purchasing locally sourced Cornish food, or having it delivered to your door.

Here you can pre order groceries for delivery to Penpoll, or for you to collect, plus a great local daily source of delicious bread & croissants & newspapers etc. They are very friendly and helpful and also serve coffee tea and ice creams to eat in or take away.

With miles of countryside to roam and a creek on the doorstep, Penpoll is dog walking paradise!

However, it is really important to note that Penpoll is situated in the middle of a farming community and dogs MUST be strictly controlled.

We cannot take responsibility for farmer’s actions if dogs are allowed to wander.

We reserve the right to say no to dogs staying, especially at peak lambing and calving times.

Water + mud + dogs = a risky recipe for inside the house! We have a dog friendly utility room and kitchen, but ask that dogs are not allowed into the main areas of the house, and most definitely not on the furniture.

We have a medium sized dog crate available on request, but owners may prefer to bring their own.

Up to two small to medium, mature dogs (not puppies) are welcome, following discussion with Penpoll’s owners. Dogs are strictly not allowed on the furniture or to be left unattended in the house.

An extra pet charge of £40 is applicable for each booking, plus £20 for an additional dog.

Additional accommodation available in neighbouring Tidal Waters.

Subject to availability, there is an option for additional accommodation for up to 2 people in the riverside home of our lovely neighbour, Alison.

Situated literally just across the lane from Penpoll, this would be ideal for those wanting additional space for extra family members, or to accommodate a nanny or cook to give you a helping hand during your holiday at Penpoll.

Please get in touch with us if you would like to learn more about this option.
