Landgreek Barn is a glorious barn conversion perfectly situated on an old farmstead on the outskirts of Polperro with beautiful views across open farmland. The Barn is a large, well equipped 5 bedroom property set on two floors, carefully converted retaining lots of character, and tastefully furnished to ensure you can enjoy a relaxing stay. The Barn benefits from large outdoor grassed space including patio area for a relaxing drink or BBQ but also a paddock which is perfect for family games.
Landgreek Barn offers both peace and relaxation whilst not being too far removed from the hubbub of bustling village life, the perfect base to sit and enjoy a drink in the setting sun after a busy day exploring. The magical fishing village of Polperro – full of history, with its harbour, shops, pubs, restaurants and beach is ½ hour walk (down hill.) It’s a great location to leave the car and explore further afield on foot – 1 hour walk from beautiful Lansallos beach, the coastal path and with bus connections along the coast to the town of Looe, and Polruan with its ferry to Fowey.
This property really is a dream location for either families or a group of friends to unwind with lovely farmland views all around in this secluded spot. The barn is part of a traditional Cornwall farmstead located up a farm track on a large plot with plenty of parking. The farmhouse and adjacent barn are your nearest neighbours, and you will occasionally see the farmer drive along the track to visit his neighbouring fields.

Wrap around garden with grass. The rear garden has a patio area accessed from the kitchen doors with charcoal BBQ, large table and chairs for 8. In addition there is a large sloping paddock for the use of guests which is perfect for family games.
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.
