Ocean View is a wonderful family holiday home with plenty of comfort and space, and the bonus of overlooking the charming fishing village of Polperro and out to sea. This detached house, set on a traffic-free lane, with its generous double bay front living room is ideal to cater for the 8 persons it accommodates. It is only a couple of minutes from the hustle and bustle of this delightful village and the busy little harbour itself. Walkers will love that it is perfectly positioned for the coastal path, where miles of super scenery can be seen when venturing to the next village of Looe in one direction, or Polruan in the other. The garden to one side and to the front of the property has two terraces where you can enjoy the scenery and dine alfresco style on those balmy summer days and nights. Boat outings and fishing trips are available from the nearby harbour and the restaurants, pubs and quirky village shops cater for all manner of needs and desires.

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!
