Overbrook

Overbrook is a three-bedroom cottage on the edge of Polperro village, reached over a small footbridge across the River Pol. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms sleep two, with the cottage combining a riverside setting with direct walking access to Polperro's streets, harbour and pubs. The property joined the rental market in 2024.

Inside, the ground floor is open-plan with WiFi, a dishwasher and an open fire in the main living space. Dogs are welcome, and accessible access is included throughout.

Outside, two seating areas suit different times of day - one at the front with the sound of the river running underneath, and a quieter space at the back with a wildflower patch in spring. Private parking comes with the cottage, which is genuinely useful given Polperro's pedestrian restrictions in the centre during the day.

Polperro is a working fishing harbour set between cliffs, with pubs, cafes and galleries along narrow lanes. The South West Coast Path runs in both directions to Talland Bay (about 2 km) and Lansallos. Looe lies 4 miles east for the Looe Valley Line railway and a wider choice of shops.

Best for couples or pairs who want a village-centre position with character - the footbridge and riverside setting are the draw. Less good for anyone needing a larger group capacity or a modern open-plan layout.
