The property was ideally situated near the harbour for swimming, shops & pubs for food & drink. It was cozy, clean & had everything necessary for a lovely stay.

We had a fantastic stay at the Harbourmaster’s Cottage. The location is right on the harbour and only steps away from the beach, which our two children (ages 4 and 7) absolutely loved exploring. Polperro itself is such a special place, and being in the heart of it made the whole trip extra memorable.The cottage is spread across three floors, full of character and very comfortable. The kitchen had all the utensils we needed to cook family meals, and the bedrooms and living areas were well set up for relaxing after a day out. The coin-operated electricity meter worked smoothly, and we found it very reasonable for the length of our stay.The hosts were very responsive and made everything easy from start to finish. One tip: if you’re bringing luggage or shopping from the car park, a small cart or trolley is very useful for the walk through the village streets.Overall, a lovely cottage in a magical location – we’d happily come back and highly recommend it.

The Harbour masters cottage is in one of the prime locations in Polperro, right on the harbour between the Blue Peter Inn and the Three Pilchards, with views onto the harbour from each of the four floors... This cottage oozes character, it's 500 years old and is part of the original village, we loved our stay here in this lovely, quirky and possibly haunted cosy cottage.

We cannot thank Emma the owner enough for lending us her beautiful cottage for the week. Emma has been so friendly and helpful right from booking the cottage and helping us with tips during our stay. The cottage is very quaint over 4 floors the kitchen is in the basement and perfectly equipped with everything you could want. It was lovely sitting in the living room with the top half of the door open watching the world go by. The upper floors are the bedrooms and bathroom. The property has lovely views over the harbour. The cottage is perfectly positioned for the beach which is literally about a 30 second walk away. Polperro is absolutely stunning with pubs and restaurants closely located. We can highly recommend House on the Props, The Three Pilchards and Michelle's for fantastic food and service. We had an amazing stay that we will never forget and would highly recommend the property and would like to thank Emma for being the perfect host and for all of her help during our stay. Thank you so much x
