About Ruan

Enjoy a stay at Ruan, one of Cornwall’s most idyllic holiday cottages. Prepare for stunning views over Cadgwith Cove from its windows and glazed porch. This simple seafront cottage is one of five and has its own private sea view garden.

Wake up bright and early and take a walk around the harbour below. The historic fishing village hasn’t changed for centuries and is scattered with whitewashed fisherman’s cottages. The port is still very much active today.  

Further afield discover the delights of the Lizard Peninsula. With its dramatic coastline and miles of walking trails, it really is one of the most impressive places in the county.
