Polperro is a beautiful place but the shops have very limited opening times. If you are an early riser you cannot pop out for milk or anything like that. Also the same thing if you go out for the day, you then can’t get anything when you return. You need to plan ahead and use other shops for food and drink. The pubs offer take away food as well as eating in. The car parking space for this property is not easy to get to with walking or driving there. The locals can be rude about you driving through to get to your parking space and it is very hard to find a passing place if you face in oncoming vehicle. It may be easier to park in the main car parking space if you have 40 pound coins. We loved the terraced area next to the stream to sit and eat dinner and have drinks. The house is comfy with home comforts l like blankets and cushions. We loved the attic room which had lots of space and character.
