🍕 Try Turntable Pizza
🍦 Keep a close eye on your crepes, pasties and ice creams... the seagulls certainly will!

❤️ Most importantly — take it all in.
One thing that comes through again and again in the comments is that Polperro isn't somewhere to tick off a list. It's somewhere to wander, explore, sit by the harbour, watch the boats, enjoy the views and make memories.
And if you're staying a little longer, don't forget East Cliff Cottage 😊
🌊 Stunning sea views across the coastline
🌊 Peaceful position above the harbour
🌊 Seconds from the sea via the steps
🚗 Summer parking included for guests (winter parking available on enquiry)
🌅 The perfect place to wake up and watch the sea
It's exactly the combination of views, location and atmosphere that made us fall in love with it ourselves ❤️
