Location - Polperro is one of Cornwall’s most favoured and pretty fishing villages, surrounded by beautiful countryside and the South East Cornish coast. This picturesque sheltered harbour has been home to a small fishing fleet since medieval times, as it is today, with a mild climate and stunning scenery and views, it is rightly recognised as an artist's paradise. The narrow intertwined streets, hark to a bygone era, the sheltered and historic harbour is ringed by numerous restaurants, galleries and pubs. This protected haven attracts a combination of holiday makers, those seeking holiday homes and full time residences which together created a strong, thriving and vibrant community and active social scene. Historically, whilst fishing was traditionally the principal occupation of Polperro families, Pirates and smuggling was rife and prospered since Polperro developed as a port in the 12th century. As you wander the narrow streets, you can believe the local legends. Today you can explore with the South West Coast Path running past the front door of this beautiful property. The path was originally built for Revenue Officers as they patrolled the coast in search of illusive smugglers. The Stunning scenery in this part of Cornwall is remarkably unspoilt, rugged and beautiful and the area is thought to be one of the most scenic stretches in the county.
