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 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

"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

"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.

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! :)"

- "Clean and well equipped cottage just ten minutes walk to the harbour. 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. Tall people should be aware that some doors are quite low so be prepared to duck or grouse. The walk to the beach is about 1.5k return journey. We would definitely consider returning."

- "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."
