About this property

Polperro 1.4 miles. Located in Killigarth near the fishing village of Polperro in Cornwall is Pickney House, a contemporary, four-bedroom home. Enjoying both coastal and countryside views, Pickney House is well-positioned near the beach and a hub of amenities, whilst providing eight guests with the ultimate retreat for a Cornish getaway. Park up on the private driveway where you'll also find a handy EV charging point (separate charge applies), before ascending the steps and reaching the entrance of the home. Start off your getaway in the light-flooded sitting room, offering the perfect place to unwind after a day of travelling, sinking into the plush sofas with the woodburning stove alight in the background. Continue to the sleek kitchen/diner, complete with dark grey cabinetry, a quirky backsplash, and a host of state-of-the-art appliances, along with a handy utility room; prepare meals, dine as a family, and socialise in this space. If you'd prefer mealtimes in the sunshine, set the patio table and light the barbecue, ready for an alfresco affair, whilst your four-legged companion safely wanders through the enclosed garden; watch the sun set with a glass of wine in hand, before preparing for bed. As the night grows darker, select from four well-appointed, stylish bedrooms, including two king-size bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, both including a Smart TV, and two twin bedrooms, perfect for the children of your group. Prepare for the coming days in the sleek bathroom, complete with marble effect tiles and complimentary toiletries, before setting off on foot to stock up on the essentials, or to dine out at one of the many eateries in Polperro, including The Harbour Green House Restaurant and Bar, Bean and Scone tearoom, and the Blue Peter Inn. Remain in Polperro for a day of activities, with the chance to view the area from above at the Polperro Model Village, follow the Polperro Heritage Coast and its stunning walking trails, or stroll along the small yet sandy terrain of Polperro Beach. Travelling into Looe, opt for a tour of the Old Guildhall Museum & Gaol, enjoy a dip in the turquoise waters at Talland Bay (beach cafe with seasonal opening times), people watch at Banjo Pier, or head to the Wild Futures, The Monkey Sanctuary, offering a range of activities for the whole family to enjoy. Round off your trip in Fowey to discover its aquarium, its stunning river, and the Readymoney Cove, a firm favourite for warmer days. Experience a touch of luxury at Pickney House.

On the south coast of Cornwall, Polperro and the neighbouring town of Looe are popular tourist destinations that offer travellers a distinctive vacation locale to explore. The old fishing community of Polperro is perched at the top of a broad valley that slopes down to the ocean. Visitors come from all over the world to the protected fishing harbour and its surrounding cluster of charming, whitewashed homes. Take a leisurely stroll through the winding alleyways, watch the fisherman unload their catch, explore the Smugglers Museum, enjoy a leisurely lunch with a view of the harbour, and then take a stroll along the clifftops to experience the breath-taking coastal panorama.

    The kitchen had everything you need (and more) to cook for the holidays. The host is incredibly thoughtful and a great communicator. We would highly recommend Pickney House and hope to stay again.

  • Shirley

    We would stay at Pickney House again definitely.

  • Stephen

    Fantastic location for exploring and bus stop just up the road. The house was beautiful and well presented for our family holiday. It's by far the most well equipped, quality fitted and provisioned we have ever stayed in, and appreciated the little touches of welcome box for us and our dog etc. Thank you from all of us and look forward to booking and staying here again.
