Polperro House was originally two separate houses, now joined into a Grade II Listed home with a south facing garden enjoying its own micro-climate and breathtaking views of the historic harbour and out to sea.

Visitors to Polperro have to leave their cars in the municipal car-park a mile up the hill before entering the village on foot. Polperro House however comes with TWO private parking spaces behind The Ship Inn, a hundred meters down the hill from the house. Simply offload your luggage and shopping at the house, park up and drift into your relaxing holiday.

With the sun arcing above the garden from early morning until she sets over the western promontory you will find breakfasts drifting leisurely into lunch and morning coffee being replaced by a light lunchtime rosé, which before you know it may give way to a G&T at sundowners. Weren’t you supposed to be rushing off somewhere? Oh well…….. Instead, the slap of wavelets on the hulls of crabbing boats in the harbour and the banter of the returning crew caught your ear.

The Patio is 33 feet long and 24 feet wide. Outside there’s an eight-seater, glass-topped rattan table. You can sit on the swinging seat or on the benches by the patio wall to take in the ambiance and eavesdrop on the gentle goings-on of harbour life below. Sheltered by Talland Hill behind and bathed in the warm airflow of the Gulf Stream, Polperro enjoys its own micro-climate making the winters very mild. The Nasturtiums may still be in flower on Christmas day and you may be watering them in your shirtsleeves!

The private patio is fully secure, but in order not to spoil the view the walls are low. Please keep an eye on toddlers who might adventure onto the tops of the walls and fall to the neighbours garden below. We would encourage you to bring a Pet Travel Kennel as we do, to use indoors at night as we prefer our canine friends remain downstairs in the kitchen and lower sitting room helping to keep the bedrooms clean and odour free for future guests; and hope that you'll agree. A useful site to help plan your dog’s holiday and beach access is (https://www.cornwall-beaches.co.uk/dog-friendly) with Talland Bay Beach a few minutes’ drive away being dog friendly all year.

We haven’t used a wide angle lens or any panoramic trickery to make the interiors look bigger. The many photographs and YouTube video should allow you to get a good idea of the true size of our traditionally kept historic property. The photos from the windows and garden out to the Harbour show the beauty of the house, its location, scenery and atmosphere.

The house has its own unique history. Records show the owner of Polperro House at the beginning of the 1900’s was the first person in the country to own an Automobile. Herbert E. Butler (1861-1931) a well known artist who trained at the Royal Academy lived in Polperro House and painted the iconic view many times. A black and white photo of him and his wife Sophia in the entrance porch of the house hangs in the kitchen. Many artists came to Polperro House as students and Butler’s descendants still live next door.

Gary and Heather Priestley bought the house in 2012 after falling in love with her at first sight and have nurtured and cared for her tenderly since then. Jake da Motta and Gillie Lightfoot took ownership in 2021 being smitten themselves by Polperro House and her charms in online pin-up photos, without ever setting foot in her.

We are delighted to be able to offer the house out for rentals so that you can make your own special holiday memories in this much loved home.

Polperro House also boasts the advantage of being only five minutes drive to Looe and its sandy beach and the Fowey inlet, (pronounced Foy) being ten minutes in the opposite direction. Polperro’s own small beach exposed at low tide outside the harbour wall boasts Willy Wilcox’s Cave and a tidal bathing pool which will delight adults and kids alike. The Coastal Path offers a string of TEN beaches and coves within five miles of Polperro.

At the time of writing there were over twenty venues to eat an drink in Polperro which is still a working fishing village, so you are more likely to find a fresh Crab Roll than a mass produced burger. There are many events throughout the year, one being the Polperro Festival in mid June. A week of great free music and off-beat activities including the election of a new Mayor!

Polperro is ideally situated for daytrips to some world-class West Country destinations and a host of fascinating towns and villages. But whether you’ve spent your day in Sennen Cove at Lands End, perusing the Tate Modern in Saint Ives, having a Michelin Star lunch in Port Isaac, brushing up your Eco-credentials at The Eden Project, scaring the kids with tales of the Beast of Bodmin or catching a great break at Widemouth Bay on your board; it’s all within a couple of hours of Polperro House; and you can still make it home for sundowners on the terrace.

The master bedroom has a large Victorian style en-suite bathroom with cast iron Roll Top bath and MASSIVE SHOWER. All the other bedrooms are VERY LARGE as well, another also having a Roll Top bath and separate shower cubicle. The Double bedroom on the mid level has an en-suite with shower, toilet and sink. The bedroom with two single beds has a large Victorian fitted basin and shares a separate bathroom and shower with the other kids’ room with bunk beds.

The downstairs lounge has a solid oak floor, and a ceiling of original, gnarled, knotted pine; cosy with deep leather sofas and wood burner. Internal glazed panes and shutters will keep even the gustiest winter weather at bay. Leading off this ground floor room is a loo, electric shower and wash basin to rinse off the briny or mud from your excursions on the rocky coast.

The oak floored, fitted hardwood kitchen has a large gas range, eye-level oven and grill, fridge freezer, microwave and all the appliances and equipment you could need to conjure up wonderful meals for a group of ten people and feed them at the solid oak kitchen table.

With three large double bedrooms each with its own bathroom and two further singles sharing a bathroom, two sitting rooms, Superfast BT Broadband, BT TV and Sport, board games, DVD’s and CD’s, we believe Polperro House offers a spacious, well equipped and cherished home-from-home for groups of friends and families alike. We hope you enjoy her as much as we do.

- "We are still talking of the picturesque and charming fishing village of Polperro on the Cornish Rivera coast, Polperro House gave us the best of all worlds being peaceful and secluded, but close enough to be within short walk of the centre where we sent our children to roam in the Harbour looking for sea life knowing that they would be safe. This unspoilt Victorian house had fantastic views occupying one of the best positions possible above this quintessential Cornish fishing village, set within a wonderful garden, facing south and commanding stunning panoramic and mesmerising views over the village, pretty harbour, the surrounding coastline and open sea. Brilliant memories! The house provided easy access in and out of this popular coastal resort where parking and vehicular access is at a premium which was just perfect for our three generations (3-76 years of age) We are going back to Polperro House "

- "We had a great week at the Shepherds Hut. On arrival the property matched the pictures and description, also a lovely welcome from the owner, along with some baked treats, which were a lovely touch. The Shepherds Hut has been completed to a high standard and we had all we needed for a week. There is a lot of wildlife to observe, lots of bees in the wild flowerbeds, and we even saw some deer on our last day in the field opposite. You have your own privacy and seclusion, which is great for night time star watching in the hot tub. However should you need anything during your stay the owners are very responsive and helpful. It is in a great location for getting down to Polperro in 5 minutes by foot, and although you can't avoid the steep walk back up the hill it did seem to get easier each day."

About a holiday in Polperro...
In Polperro it’s easy to step back in time in this unspoilt fishing village on the south coast of Cornwall. Its beautiful cottages cling to steep hillsides around a small harbour with spectacular views of land and sea making it an artist’s paradise.

The road into the village snakes down the steep-sided coombe, mainly free of traffic, meaning you can enjoy wandering through the streets browsing the shops that major in locally made handicrafts and confectionery. There's also plenty of places to eat and drink from award-winning restaurants to traditional pubs.

Get the camera ready for when you reach the picturesque harbour, especially if the tides is in, and make a point of visiting the Smuggling Museum where you will find out all about the village’s sea based trials and tribulations.

Dotted around the village there are several galleries, carrying on the tradition of artists who have fallen in love with the views over the years. We think you'll do the same and just to make sure we recommend walking up the coastal path either side of the harbour to capture the view looking back over the village, we promise you won’t regret it.

The South West Coast Path passes through Polperro and offers spectacular views and access to beautiful beaches both to the east and the west. Heading east towards Looe you reach Talland Bay after about a mile. Here there’s a choice of beaches and some wonderful rockpools to discover when the tide is out. Continuing onto Looe you will pass other quieter coves, even in the summer months.

The coastal path heading west can be challenging to even the competent walkers. It’s very up and down with lots of steps. Walkers who make the effort are rewarded with wonderful views and hidden smugglers coves at Lansallos and Lantivet Bay.

For those not wishing to explore far, Polperro has its own small sandy beach located just outside the main harbour. The beach is in front of Willy Wilcox’s cave, believed to have been used by smugglers. There’s also a man-made tidal pool on the seaward of Chapel Cliff, to the right of the harbour mouth. Here many a local has first learnt to swim, away from the waves of the ocean.

About a holiday in Polperro...
In Polperro it’s easy to step back in time in this unspoilt fishing village on the south coast of Cornwall. Its beautiful cottages cling to steep hillsides around a small harbour with spectacular views of land and sea making it an artist’s paradise.

The road into the village snakes down the steep-sided coombe, mainly free of traffic, meaning you can enjoy wandering through the streets browsing the shops that major in locally made handicrafts and confectionery. There's also plenty of places to eat and drink from award-winning restaurants to traditional pubs.

Get the camera ready for when you reach the picturesque harbour, especially if the tide is in, and make a point of visiting the Smuggling Museum where you will find out all about the village’s sea based trials and tribulations.

Dotted around the village there are several galleries, carrying on the tradition of artists who have fallen in love with the views over the years. We think you'll do the same and just to make sure we recommend walking up the coastal path either side of the harbour to capture the view looking back over the village, we promise you won’t regret it.

The South West Coast Path passes through Polperro and offers spectacular views and access to beautiful beaches both to the east and the west. Heading east towards Looe you reach Talland Bay after about a mile. Here there’s a choice of beaches and some wonderful rockpools to discover when the tide is out. Continuing onto Looe you will pass other quieter coves, even in the summer months.

The coastal path heading west can be challenging to even the competent walkers. It’s very up and down with lots of steps. Walkers who make the effort are rewarded with wonderful views and hidden smugglers coves at Lansallos and Lantivet Bay.

For those not wishing to explore far, Polperro has its own small sandy beach located just outside the main harbour. The beach is in front of Willy Wilcox’s cave, believed to have been used by smugglers. There’s also a man-made tidal pool on the seaward of Chapel Cliff, to the right of the harbour mouth. Here many a local has first learnt to swim, away from the waves of the ocean.
