About this property

Waterside is a quaint 16th century beamed cottage situated in the fascinating old fishing harbour of Polperro. Slow down to Polperro's pace of life and enjoy the picturesque charm and beautiful coastal scenery that it boasts with its odd passageways and narrow streets. Relax in one of the many charming pubs, have a yarn with the local folk and enjoy a pint of local ale or cider. Let Polperro work its magic and go home feeling rested and relaxed.

The cottage is set over four floors with the kitchen in the basement accessed via a narrow stairwell. Please note the The Pallace gin bar opened in 2022 and is adjacent to the cottage.

The perfect cottage!

This cottage is just perfect. We loved our stay in Polperro and will certainly be back! Fantastic location, super cosy but surprisingly roomy set over 4 floors. Everything you need for a relaxing stay. Communication with Emma in the build up was excellent, check in is super easy and you won’t be disappointed you stayed here. Nicky Blyth

We booked a very last min get away. The quick comms was great, everything went smoothly from booking, to getting in. The property was perfectly located and had an everything we needed, even a bottle of fizz waiting for us. Couldn’t fault anything, was just perfect! Highly recommended and do wish to come back again.

Cosy cottage

Very atmospheric cottage on the harbour withe sights and sounds of the sea nearby. Close to everything in the compact, beautiful village of Polperro. The steep narrow stairs between the cottage floors add to the character but wouldn't be suitable for anyone with mobility problems.

Interesting house, beautiful location

It is right on the harbour front with views over the harbour. Pubs and interesting shops nearby. It is very comfortable with everything you need. The electricity is on a coin slot but the heating is supplied elsewhere so it's not expensive. It was a very memorable stay.

Up Polperro

We loved this little property and where it's placed in the harbour, the only thing we would say, and only in our opinion, is that we loved the top room more so thought it should be the double bed room, we still slept up there though! Great place!!!

Fantastic location and lovely houde

Despite poor weather we had a great time. Grandparents with two grandkids. We swam off the local beach, visited the Eden Project, surfed at Polzeath, enjoyed the model village, ate lots of pasties and had great food at the Three Pilchards. And managed to see Barbie and a Spiderman film. An enjoyable and packed holiday.

Fabulous location

A lovely cottage which was immaculately clean and very comfortable. It had everything we needed for a short break and was in a fantastic location. There were lots of pubs and restaurants to choose from which were literally on our doorstep, as well as lovely cafes for breakfast. The only issue we had was the 15 minute walk down the hill from the car park with kids and luggage/towels in tow (towels aren’t supplied). This was hard work, particularly as we weren’t planning on eating out every night and therefore had bags of shopping to carry as well. The £40 parking charge (paid in £1 coins) was a bit steep for 4 days, as well as having to feed the electricity meter in the cottage with £1 coins. However, we had a really lovely time and I would still highly recommend!

Really good please to stay. Right in the heart of the village and the harbour. I would say it’s better suited to older children 4+ but we still had a brilliant time with a 9mo and a 2yr old.

Traumhafter Ort

Ein wirklich sehr schöner Ort und prima gelegen um die nähere Umgebung Zufluss zu erwandern. Wichtig zu wissen ist, dass das Autos 750m auf einem kostenpflichtigem Parkplatz abzustellen ist! Einkäufe müssen also gut geplant sein.

Excellent location

Had a great time staying at The Waterside cottage Polperro. Fantastic location and views from all windows. Only downside was how busy the location can get with lots of day visitors walking past. Also stairs down to the kitchen quite steep and tight. Had a great stay and would definitely stay again!

"Waterside", Quay Road.

Nice comfortable little cottage by the quayside and near 2 pub restaurants. The only downside was the electricity meter requiring feeding (cold at the time), and the lack of towels in the bathroom. Could also do with a non-slip shower mat in the bath. Otherwise a good time had by all.

Delightful Cottage

Very clean property by the harbour. Very handy for all amenities, pubs, restaurants, shops, cliff path walks. Only downside for us were the stairs down into the kitchen. However, we live in a bungalow, so not used to different levels, on three floors. Apart from that we had a wonderful stay.
