I'm not one to normally leave reviews if there's nothing positive to say but this cottage and our stay is worthy of a review. Spending a week in this lovely cottage was just the ticket. The cottage perfectly situated for the harbour and centre of the town without having to climb steep hills which for Polperro, I found can be quite the asset.
First impressions of the cottage don't give way to disappointment at any time and whereas it had a couple of quirks it's a few hundred years old and allowed.
Front door leading one way to fully equipped kitchen and wonderful to have plenty of glasses, mugs, cutlery etc. Far too often when renting a place there's only enough for single use per person before having to clean. The adjacent sitting room with a glorious viewing window also, again, has plenty of very comfortable seating. Upstairs beds and bedrooms galore with a fine selection of towels, gels etc laid on and an excellent hot water system providing bountiful supply to the showers etc. Open beams in the roof vaulted ceilings give rise to the warm homely feel. The garden terrace off one room is one quirk but well worth the quirk... makes for brilliant views and quite the sun trap. A barbeque rested there for use but we didn't partake preferring the offerings of the local amazing eating places.
It can be said that the harbour and beach area is a main attraction of the village and it can appear busy at times in front but it's just not that busy at all in the bigger picture of things and it's below the cottage and whereas it could appear amongst it all from the outside it's totally the feel of away from the Madding Crowd inside.
All in all the cottage, the situation, the amenities and the genuinely nice friendly local people and holiday makers alone mixed with location and all local walks etc makes for a perfect place
Oh a Cream Tea awaiting our arrival was lovely and I as normal had cream first! :)
