Beautiful views
Posted Aug. 15, 2023 on HomeAwayThe cottage is in a stunning location and has great views of the harbour from the terrace and main bedrooms. There are plenty of bathrooms, and space for a large group to spread out. Unfortunately there were a number of minor maintenance issues which let the place down, and be aware that the arrival is stressful if you have a large car.
Overall we had a great time

Thanks for your kind review Philppa. Apologies for any inconvenience and trust these did not Marr your visit overall. She's a venerable old lady and needs constant TLC but we're doing our best and figuring out her foibles. Thanks for staying with us.

Beautiful polperro
Posted Jan. 7, 2023 on HomeAwayThe house has lovely views and our group of 8 had plenty of room to spread out. The house is on a very steep hill but it’s not too far to reach all Polperro has to offer. I found the hill ok but my 80 year old uncle did struggle so just something to bear in mind. Private parking for 2 cars at the Ship Inn was so helpful as the main car park is a long walk away. I would definitely come back again.

Polperro Perfection
Posted Jul. 11, 2022 on HomeAwayIncredible view, great location. We had a range of ages from five to fifty and everyone loved the house. The little ones could go down the hill to the bakery and shops. The older folks enjoyed a glass of wine (or two) on the terrace. Wonderful accommodations with lovely decor. We’ll be back!

Character house in unique location
Posted Oct. 31, 2021 on HomeAwayThe house is full of character with its cosy living room and family sized kitchen on the ground floor and a further sitting room on the first floor providing a haven of peace for those who come with small children as we did. The house is well equipped, and quirkily decorated, but shows its age, which was not at all an issue for us. The main bedrooms command a near perfect view of the quaint harbour, channel and headlands straight out to the open sea. The view is shared from the large paved terrace on the sea side of the house equipped with seating, large table and barbecue equipment. These must be a delight to use on summer evenings (our stay was in late October.) In all, this is a beautiful property for those wishing to enjoy a house with old world charm in the heart of this historic village.

Delighted that David's party suited the house and had a great stay. I was hasty on my response to his review and didn't rate his communication which was 5* or tick the box asking if I would rent to him again. I most certainly would.

Posted Apr. 26, 2021 on HomeAwayWe have had a fantastic stay at the cottage. We were blessed by the wonderful view and the south facing exposition of the cottage. we have enjoyed every morning breakfast on the Patio. The views from the bedrooms in the cottage are marvelous. Very comfortable bedrooms, kitchen super well equipped. Jake has been a great host easy to communicate with and very helpful.

Thanks for staying with us Caroline and we hope once we get a chance to bestow some hands-on TLC on the old girl she is an even more welcoming home from home. So glad she made good memories for you

Great to hear the house did what it is meant to do and luckily it's near the bottom of the hill but high enough to sit, relax and watch the world go by daydreaming what adventures to get up to next

Perfect for a family holiday!
Posted Aug. 22, 2019 on HomeAwaySpacious, comfortable, well equipped home for celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary with our family. Great to have 5 bathrooms with the 5 bedrooms- and the showers were always hot too! Loved the harbour views from the sunny garden! Polperro House is well situated for all the friendly pubs, restaurants and galleries and shops Polperro has to offer.. Our holiday here has given us all many happy memories.

Lovely place for get-away.
Posted Jun. 17, 2019 on HomeAwayThis is a lovely part of Cornwall and this property makes a great base. Looe to the east and Fowey to the west. A short walk along the coastal path in an easterly direction takes you to Talland Bay, excellent for rock pooling, a nice little cafe and toilets there to. Back at the house there is a great little garden for sitting with a coffee or something stronger and watching the comings and goings down in the harbour, but it could do with a little care and attention. The kitchen has pretty much everything you could want for your general cooking needs. The downstairs lounge perhaps could do with a small heater just to take the chill off in an evening if you don't want the trouble of setting the wood burner, or trying to find firewood. Plenty of hot water for showers. The parking spaces behind the Ship Inn are a little walk from the property but considering that we are in a tiny Cornish fishing village. We had a great family holiday and staying in this house helped towards making it. Overall the property is excellent although it looks a little tired in places. Thank you.

Great to see they enjoyed their family break in a working, traditional village that does not have the busy dangerous road traffic that surrounds us daily. We are also extremely fortunate to have been able to purchase 2 private parking spaces saving guests money and a walk from the main car park.
We have insulated the walls in the lower lounge so when a few people are in there, it warms up very quickly. For less than a cheap bottle of wine, a few logs can be bought from the local shop for the multi fuel stove and we also have working central heating with radiators that have their own temperature controls for each room?
There are a few bag scrapes on the original walls where guests have not taken their time, a few cut marks on our solid oak table and wooden work surfaces where the several cutting boards have not been used plus a few minor scars where families and family groups have come together to enjoy their well deserved break.
Several of our guests have asked if is okay to help in our simple garden, one group have bought garden tools that are under the stairs.
Note:- we generally find our ratings drop when the weather is bad.

2nd time here, just as good
Posted Nov. 29, 2018 on HomeAwayThis was our second holiday here after previously staying in 2017. Lovely house, fantastic position & views, and Gary could not be easier to liaise with. Only wish we could live there!
