Hillcrest Cottage Polperro

Hillcrest Cottage is a three-bedroom stay for five in central Polperro, the south-coast fishing village where cars are banned from the inner harbour area. Two double rooms and one single cover the stated capacity, though all five guests share a single bathroom, worth factoring in for a full group.

A feature fireplace sits in the lounge, though it is not a working fire. WiFi, a dishwasher and washing machine are included, and the private enclosed garden gives space for outdoor dining. Up to two dogs can stay. There is no on-site parking, so anyone driving needs to use Crumplehorn car park at the top of the village and walk down, roughly half a mile to the harbour.

The cottage sits within walking distance of the coast path, with Looe around 2 miles away and Fowey about 7 miles. Lekerock Cove Beach is under a mile at 0.9 miles, Talland Bay is 1.1 miles and Lansallos Beach 2.5 miles. Nine reviews give Hillcrest Cottage a 4.1 out of 5 rating, with location the strongest category at 4.7 and staff at 4.4.

**Best for:** a family or group of friends wanting a central Polperro base, an enclosed garden and space for two dogs, and who are happy walking from a car park rather than parking on site.

**Less good for:** five guests wanting more than one bathroom, drivers wanting to park at the door, or anyone needing step-free access.
