About Fortescue

Once part of Triggabrowne, a traditional Cornish farming settlement, Fortescue is now one of several holiday cottages on the site. Fortescue is a sturdy dwelling adjoining Hayrick Cottage. Also in the vicinity are Dairy Cottage,The Farm House and Tippett's. Just a short walk away are the semi-detached Meadow Cottage and Triggabrowne Cottage. A short ferry ride will get you to the lively town of Fowey.

After arriving, you’ll be struck by the layout of the cottage. The first floor hosts the sitting room and kitchen, a clever twist allowing you to spend more time enjoying the breath-taking countryside views that surround Fortescue. 

Discover the coast between Polruan and Polperro. We own and conserve most of the land nearby, so while you’re enjoying bracing coastal walks, it’s good to know you’re also contributing to the upkeep of the footpaths you’re walking along.
