- "We loved this little property and where it's placed in the harbour, the only thing we would say, and only in our opinion, is that we loved the top room more so thought it should be the double bed room, we still slept up there though! Great place!!!" - "Despite poor weather we had a great time. Grandparents with two grandkids. We swam off the local beach, visited the Eden Project, surfed at Polzeath, enjoyed the model village, ate lots of pasties and had great food at the Three Pilchards. And managed to see Barbie and a Spiderman film. An enjoyable and packed holiday."

REGARDING OLD REVIEWS PLEASE SEE COMMENTS AT THE END OF THIS TEXT, PREVIOUSLY BOOKED LISTING REVIEWS WERE NOT ABLE TO BE TRANSFERRED TO NEW HOMEAWAY SITE UNFORTUNATELY: Please note lack of recent reviews is down to owners residing in the cottage recently.

Willy Wilcox Cottage is the listed seafront cottage, with the bright blue door and shutters, seen on so many paintings and postcards of both Polperro and Cornwall. The cottage is one of Polperro's historic landmarks partially built over a cave and previously belonging to the late 18th century fisherman, Willy Wilcox, reputedly believed to have been involved in smuggling. It has four bedrooms, all have sea and fishing harbour views. The beamed sitting room has an open fire with copper canopy and an ancient pickling well for nets. The well and the mysterious narrow passage between the cliff face and the cottage are illuminated and visible from the sitting room through a glazed window. Legend has it that Willy was trapped by the sea whilst secreting contraband into the cave and on the beach below! The room also boasts a large deep bay window, a perfect vantage point with seating to enjoy the heavenly views looking over the fishing boats in the harbour and views out to sea. The unique raised beach terrace has stunning far reaching sea views, a great place for breakfast, a nightcap or any time in between and there is also an enclosed rear terrace. We welcome you with a home-made cream tea.

Willy Wilcox comfortably sleeps eight is just feet from the beach in this historic village. Its idyllic location has the National Trust South Coastal Path leading from steps behind the cottage which is situated over the cave and beach in Polperro providing fantastic walking along this unspoiled coastline. Looe, Polruan and Fowey are also within close proximity to here and are all also quaint fishing harbours with plenty to do and see. The pubs, restaurants, art galleries and shops of Polperro are just seconds away with its quaint narrow streets and colour washed cottages nestled into the valley surrounding the working fishing harbour. We are very dog friendly and they are welcomed widely in Polperro. The house also comes with a private parking space a short walk from the property.

This listing has a small number of reviews in the review section simply because we are the new owners of the property, however all previous reviews (of which there are many) are posted below which will hopefully give any future guests a clear outline of what to expect from this wonderful cottage. The house remains unchanged and so the previous reviews are an accurate representation. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any queries. Kindest regards
Amanda

"Amazing location"
We had a fantastic holiday in a beautiful cottage in an amazing location. It was everything I thought it would be and more. I would highly recommend this property and hope to return one day. Thank you Amanda for all your help. C Evans - 22nd June 2018

Property couldn't be situated in a better place. In a beautiful little village with a picturesque coastal views. Best place I have been. Will definitely be returning. Gary B - 4 February 2018

"Utterly perfect"
An absolute gem of a property and place and a real reminisce for me as I used to play on the beach as a child. 43 years later I get to revisit. Hoping to be a regular at Willy Wilcox and huge thanks to Tracey for making it all so welcoming and sparkly. Toasty warm on arrival with delicious scones and clotted cream waiting for us. The house is incredibly well equipped, nothing has been left out. Only sorry we didn’t bring a suitable smart fizz bottle to add to the collection, will endeavour to remedy this next time! Had a lovely chat with Gina the local artist with a gallery in pole position in the village, although she pretty much has another gallery in Willy Wilcox as a there are lovely pieces of hers dotted around and about the property. The staff at The Blue (Blue Peter pub) and The Three Pilchards are all delightful. Try the Foy gin in The Blue. Wonderful coastal walks, log fire, board games and just general perpetual gazing at the stonkingly stunning view. Go and stay it’s so worth it. Thank you for all the very prompt and helpful communication, hope to speak to you again.
Kindest regards and thanks once again.

"Every time we stay we are enchanted"
We stayed in summer, autumn, spring and winter since our children were small. Now we bring our grandchildren too. Warm, welcoming and unbelievable location on the harbours edge. The Blue Peter Pub does lovely food and a take away service. Alison P – 17th January 2018

Date of Stay: 24th November 2017
"Cosy cottage ideally placed in the harbour"
We had just a wonderful time at Willy Wilcox. We fell in love with Polperro after visiting it for the first time in the summer but it's just lovely at this time of year - the streets are quiet, the fires are lit, the Blue Peter pub was especially welcoming, and we felt very comfortable tucked up in the cottage. Most of the local artist shops seemed fairly pleased that we visited them as well judging by how much of their work we brought home - a large photo of Willy Wilcox with the waves crashing over the roof is going to take centre stage in our living room soon. We even made some new friends sitting in the Blue Peter who we've kept in touch with since so we've left with very fond memories all round.

"Quaint cottage in fabulous location"
This is a really nice place to stay directly on the harbour.
Lesley C – 29th August 2017

Date of Stay: 29th July 2017
Absolutely charming property with its own part to play in a smugglers story.We stayed for a week, family of four plus 2 grandparents. The house is really well equipped and clean. It could not be better placed in Polperro and the pub a couple of doors down is the best in Polperro. I guess my only dent would be the parking arrangements not only for the house but Polperro in general. Space is at a premium so be prepared for some precision parking. Looe is only 15 minutes away and has a bit more in the way of supermarkets etc. Overall a great booking and would love to return. Tony R – 8th August 2017

"The perfect seaside house"
Our 5th stay at Willy. Such a relaxing place. Our teenage and adult children still love to be in Polperro. House is very well presented with a good range of kitchen gear. Also, children's games and a good selection of DVDs. Perfect position overlooking the sea.

"Wonderful holiday home in a superb location"
We stayed here for 3 weeks and certainly could have stayed longer. The property is a home from home with all the amenities you could wish for. I'm not sure there is a better location in all of Cornwall, we loved hearing the crashing waves and the proximity to the beach and the coastal walks were great. Polperro is a lively village and although we were there very much out of season there were pubs and some shops open. Couch's restaurant has a great tasting menu and the Blue Peter inn was very friendly and cosy. Take away fish and chips from the 3 Pilchards not to be missed. Further afield there are great places to visit in under an hour: Eden Project, lost garden of Heligan, Fowey (do try the ferry!) and Padstow (great restaurants) to name a few. We went to quite a few beaches with the dog, Constantine near Padstow was our favourite, however nearer Par was good to exercise the dog and Polkerris with Sam’s on the Beach was lovely. The owner Deborah could not have been a better host and the house keepers Tracey and Carl were brilliant This will definitely be our next stop in Cornwall again, if it's not booked up!

"Magical Place"
It's a magical place and we love staying. We will be back, we hopefully intend booking a Christmas in the near future also. My only regret is that on the day we left, the fishing boats were called in early and the Storm Gate was ordered to be shut. I love the stormy weather and drive my wife mad going on about it. I have a friend and his wife making a booking in the future too. They'll love it. I am a London Cabbie and tell everyone about it. As we say in the trade.........Be Lucky. Karl – 1st September 2017

"Cosy, quiet, charming with lots of character"
My husband, 3 year old son and myself all enjoyed our stay at Willy Wilcox. It is perfectly located with amazing views. Tracey and Deborah were great in the lead up to our stay and we really appreciated the passes the hotel in Looe. Our son loved that. The cream teas were outstanding too and a lovely Touch. The open fire was lovely too. We would definitely recommend. Melissa T – 16th December 2016

- "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! :)"

Our visit was out of season so most businesses were closed in Polperro but you can still use the post office, a couple of small grocery stores, cafe/bakery and The Blue Peter pub which had live music on Friday and Sunday." - "This is a very nice cottage for two people and a well behaved dog. It is well equipped and looks as though it would be could be quite cozy in winter. We appreciated the sinks in each bedroom. The cottage is well located being immediately adjacent to a bus-stop (go anywhere in Cornwall for £10 per day or free with a bus pass), a pub and the main car park. Having one parking space right in front of the cottage is a big plus. Polperro has plenty of amenities. For three hours either side of high tide the beach is fun for all and about as good as it gets in this part of Cornwall.

- "This is truly a little gem. Exactly as shown in the pictures, small and very cozy. And exactly as described; a long and narrow road to drive, and a steep hill to walk to the centre of charming Polperro, but absolutely worth the climb/drive. All the perfect little extras added by the hosts is just the icing on the cake in this perfect little place. English country charm at it's best." - "We had a lovely stay in your delightful cottage equipped with everything we could possibly need! The fresh flowers were lovely! The scones, clotted cream, cup cakes and bread were a really kind gesture and fully appreciated, especially by my daughter! Love the tiny milk bottle, reminiscent of my early days at boarding school when we were forced to drink sour milk from very similar bottles!!! And we loved your personal note too. Even though a hot summer week, turning the heating on was wonderful and made all the difference as it took the morning and evening chill out of the cottage. Thank you. I was delighted with the way our host responded to every bit of correspondence with such fast replies. Very refreshing! On our last evening we came back to biscuits and another card!!! Thank you so much! So much to do around Polperro and Looe. Wonderful location."

Experience - The Area... Enjoying wonderful harbour and sea views from most windows, this grade II listed 18th century former fishermans cottage is located in The Warren, a quintessentially Cornish traffic free area, offering light and airy accommodation on three floors. Set right in the heart of the pretty village of Polperro with a picturesque harbour and the South West Coast Path on the doorstep, this quaint cottage is ideally situated only a few paces from the quayside and is entered from the narrow pedestrian lane. Although the cottage has no garden, the front steps provide an excellent vantage point to sit and enjoy the sun and there are also plenty of places to sit around the quay and watch the boats entering and leaving the harbour. Formerly the birthplace of Jonathan Couch a distinguished local historian, details can be found in the Heritage Museum of Smuggling and Fishing nearby. The many cafes, restaurants, pubs, galleries and local shops are close at hand as is Polperro Model Village and Land of Legend.

- "The cottage at polperro was in an excellent location couldn’t wish for more, plenty of places to eat/drink within walking distance (highly recommend the three pilchards, portions are HUGE)" - "The Warren cottage is an adorable old fishherman's house. It is extremely well situated at the heart of the Polperro port with a view on the port with the tide going up and down every 6 hours. The cottage is very cosy and comfortable and well equipped with two bed rooms on the second floor and a separate living room on the first floor. We would strongly recommend not only Polperro which is a place that has kept its authenticity and relative quietness as opposed to other places in Cornwall, but also this cottage which offers everything a traveller can hope for."

- "Perfect Place to stay for great coastal hikes. Just be aware that one of your hikes will be coming back to the house at the end of the day. We are quite fit and did hiked every day including the 5/5 Polperro to Fowey hike so it was just a faff getting the luggage up for us. Polperro is quaint and had at least one excellent restaurant (we cooked in and played games on the other nights). Hike to Looe was easy and fun. Fowey hike should be reserved for more experienced. Loads of great shopping, lots of fun hiking and boating. Cornwall at its finest. House very comfortable (we were 5 people, two couples and a singleton). "
