Self catering holidays in Polperro - Cornwall

Polperro is a 13th century fishing village in Cornwall, England. Fishing has always been the town’s principle source of income with thousands of pilchards being shipped from here to far and wide. For more information on Polperro visit the delightful heritage museum and the museum of Fishing and Smuggling situated in the warren overlooking the harbour. With a comfortable temperate climate in summer and quaint local shops for you to enjoy, Polperro or ‘Cornwall’s gem’ as it is often called, is a very pretty town for anyone to enjoy a self-catering holiday in the West Country.

Polperro is near to Looe and enjoys an idyllic location. This fantastic little fishing village is a great place to take a cottage break particularly in the summer months with its beautiful tightly packed old fishermen’s houses and pretty harbour.

Polperro can no longer be accessed by car making it a family friendly village in which to holiday, its narrow winding streets made it too difficult for visitors to drive in the village and it can now only be discovered on foot. However if your feeling lazy why not take a horse and cart ride down to the harbour. Polperro is a great town to visit if you are looking for a base for a walking holiday, sitting on the South West Coastal Path route which runs for 630 miles from Dorset to Somerset you can take a lovely walk along the stunning Cornwall coast. You can also discover Talland Bay via a beautiful coastal path that heads east out of Polperro.  Finally you always have the opportunity to take a boat trip out of the harbour to spot dolphins or seals which could be simply amazing.
