Polperro is an unspoiled gem, offering spectacular views along the nearby coastal path and a wealth of local attractions. The village is home to a variety of shops selling locally crafted goods, bakeries, and art galleries.

We love Charlie Wilcox cottage. This is our second stay this year. The cottage is clean and has everything you need. Beds super comfy, we lit the woodburner which was so cosy. Kitchen well equipped with all you need. Shower is great, lovely and hot. Shampoo and conditioner body wash already here for you. Cottage is just a stones throw to the blue Peter inn great atmosphere and food excellent. Three pilchards steak pie - awesomeWe wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this cottage to anyone. Beautiful sea views and right outside the harbour. Everything walkable and near. There are a few steps to the cottage however not steep. Dog friendly. Dog biscuits in a jar for the dogs. Patio area ideal if you have dogs. Highly recommend staying here it’s beautiful. We never want to leave.
