Newhaven is perched high amongst the trees, and yet only a short walk down to the beautiful Polperro harbour. This coastal escape is ideal for families or friends to enjoy being together, with bright and spacious accommodation.
Thanks to its elevated position, Newhaven enjoys a peaceful setting with a private garden – perfect for a morning coffee or al fresco dining whilst taking in the atmosphere from the street below.
Polperro's quaint shops and pubs are within easy reach, and whilst the property doesn't have parking, it is located within a five minute walk of the main car park, making this a super choice for your Cornish getaway.
Note – Please be careful with young children in the outside area. This property has a slope and steps to access, so may not be suitable for the infirm.
There is a patio amongst woodland with a table and 4 chairs. Please take care with children here, as the area is not completely flat or fenced.
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.
