Its enviable location offers an authentic slice of Polperro life, perfectly complemented by the surrounding natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere.

On the ground floor of this traditional cottage, a compact kitchen diner provides everything you need, with a narrow stable door leading out to a private decking area—a perfect spot for enjoying morning coffee while soaking in the river views. This level also features a cosy twin bedroom and a downstairs cloakroom for convenience.

Upstairs, the living room is a comfortable retreat, furnished with twin leather chairs, a leather sofa, and a large wood-burning stove, making it the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring, even more so on a stormy night. The room also includes a large TV for entertainment. A double bedroom and a bathroom with a double shower complete the upper floor. The outdoor decking runs the full length of the cottage, offering uninterrupted views across the river and harbour—a truly tranquil setting.

Polperro itself is full of charm, with boutique shops, art galleries, and a diverse selection of eateries. The village’s rich history of smuggling, especially of tobacco and whisky, is captured in the local museum. At the same time, the once-thriving herring fishing industry also adds to the town’s fascinating heritage. The narrow streets are ideal for leisurely walks, offering picturesque views at every turn, and the nearby beach provides a perfect escape.

For those who love hiking, the Coast Path offers breathtaking vistas as it climbs away from the harbour, with views that will leave you spellbound. A short distance from Polperro, the coastal town of Looe awaits, with its small but active fishing fleet, sandy beaches, and numerous coastal and countryside trails. Whether you’re exploring the village’s history, taking a boat trip, or visiting the model village, this unique cottage provides a peaceful, scenic, and inspiring escape, where you can experience the atmosphere and character of the town in full.
