Star Cottage

Star Cottage is a two-bedroom historic cottage on the traffic-free Warren in Polperro harbour, sleeping four. The property sits directly above the water on a pedestrian-only lane, with harbour views from the kitchen-diner and most rooms. It holds a rating of 9.8 from 70 reviews - one of the highest scores of any cottage in the village.

Two bedrooms sleep four: one double and one bunk-bed room. Note that the bunks are not full length, making the second room practical for two adults and two children rather than four adults. The refurbishment has retained the period character while updating fittings throughout. WiFi, a washing machine, and accessibility features are included.

Parking is on-site - a significant advantage in Polperro, where most visitors leave their car at the main car park at the top of the hill and walk or take the horse-drawn bus down. From the cottage door, the harbour, beach, pubs, and shops are two minutes on foot. The South West Coast Path runs west to Talland Bay and east to Looe.

A strong match for couples or a family of four who want to be at the centre of village life without sacrificing parking. Less suited to large groups - the second bedroom has physical size limits, and the absence of a garden means outdoor space is the harbour lane itself. Prices run from GBP 518 per week, rising to GBP 925 at peak, with Saturday changeovers.
