Seaways

Nestled on a Cornish hillside overlooking the glistening ocean, this stunning house exudes elegance and luxury. As you approach the grand entrance, your attention is drawn to the shimmering swimming pool that sits at the heart of the property. The crystal-clear water invites you to take a refreshing dip, while the sun loungers beckon you to relax and bask in the warm sun.

Just a few steps away, a bubbling sunken hot tub awaits, in complete privacy. Here, you can soak in the warm, bubbly water while taking in the panoramic sea views that stretch out before you. As the sun begins to set, the sky is painted in hues of pink, orange and gold, casting a warm glow over the entire property and showcasing Polperro at its finest.

Inside, the house is just as impressive. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the soaring ceilings and expansive windows that flood the rooms with natural light, to the plush furnishings and tasteful decor that create a sense of comfort and relaxation.

As you explore the house, you'll discover luxurious bedrooms with crisp linens and stunning sea views from most rooms, as well as spacious living areas that are perfect for entertaining. And whether you're cooking up a storm in the gourmet kitchen, watching a movie in the cosy lounge, or simply enjoying a glass of wine on the sprawling outdoor terrace, you'll be surrounded by beauty and tranquillity at every turn.

Polperro is a largely unspoilt fishing village, with working fishing port, regular boat trips and independent shops and pubs to enjoy. The South West Coast Path is at the bottom of the steps, should a walk to Looe or Fowey entice you. Seaways offers a fantastic holiday destination!

The local area

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.
