This beautifully updated two bedroom cottage is set right in the heart of the charming fishing village of Polperro. The property has been sympathetically modernised with en-suite shower rooms for both first floor bedrooms and a sparkling, fully equipped kitchen on the ground floor. It has a small front courtyard to sitting in and watch the world go by, plus a little paved rear garden/terrace area with seating to catch the afternoon sun. The harbour village of Polperro offers a great number restaurants, pubs and independent shops as well as the essentials such as post office, bakers and grocery shops only minutes away. The dramatic and pretty coastal path if a stroll away in the village, for those who wish to explore this beautiful coastal area.
The front enclosed small entrance area with bistro table and two chairs. (Please note there is no BBQ and Astro-Turf has been removed) The small rear garden/terrace, has lounging chairs and a table, accessed up a flight of fairly steep steps with a hand rail from the kitchen, through a low back door, or also accessed via the large bedroom window.
The traditional fishing village of Polperro, set along the dramatic South Cornish coastline between Looe and Fowey, is steeped in maritime history. Wandering its pretty, narrow, winding streets offers a nostalgic taste of times gone by.
For centuries local families here were reliant on “Polperro pilchards” which were sold right across Europe. Nowadays, there is still an active fishing fleet but their catch is more varied. You can sample their wares in a number of local restaurants, pubs and cafes, or simply sit back and watch the fishermen at work in the harbour as you tuck into a fresh crab sandwich.
Polperro has an abundance of small, twisting lanes, most of which are simply not wide enough for modern vehicles. Some are little wider than footpaths, so leave your car in the main car park at Crumplehorn and from here you can walk, catch the bus or even take a horse and cart the half mile down into the village. The traffic-free zones allow you to explore the winding alleys of whitewashed fishermen’s cottages at your leisure.
It’s easy to imagine the hustle and bustle of people with loaded horse & carts rumbling past during Polperro’s smuggling heyday, or the scores of ladies lining the streets nimbly knitting fishermen’s jumpers, known locally as “knit-frocks”. On the harbour-side you can visit the Polperro Heritage Museum of Fishing and Smuggling to immerse yourself more fully in Polperro’s rich history.
The village and harbour are best seen at high tide, but at low tide, a small beach appears so it’s possible to go for a paddle. The picturesque South West Coast Path runs right through the Polperro. If you walk east along the coast you’ll reach the beautiful Talland Bay, or alternatively hop in your car to visit other nearby sandy beaches including Seaton, Downderry, Lansallos and Lantic Bay. Regular boat trips run from the harbour offering fantastic views of the coastline and day trips to nearby Looe, and you might even spot dolphins and seals on your way!
A holiday cottage in Polperro offers a wonderfully traditional seaside escape on the dramatic South East Cornish coast.
