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.

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!

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!!!

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.

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.

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!

Such a welcoming place. Lots to see. Spectacular scenery and walks but then return at the end of the day to lovely food and warmth at pubs restaurants. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable

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.

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.

We just love staying in Polperro and at Waterside Cottage. Always a dilemma to which pub to go to 5 steps left or 5 steps right!
Lovely cottage perfect for us. Hope to be back again sooner than 4 years this time!

Situated right on Polperro's picturesque harbour, close to great pubs, restaurants and the lovely town centre, this cottage offers lovely views and surroundings. It could benefit from a bit of a 'refresh' - carpet, kitchen and bathroom, but it's a period cottage, so one expects quirky, occasionally dated features. In summary, good value, full of character and perfectly located.

We cannot thank Emma the owner enough for lending us her beautiful cottage for the week. Emma has been so friendly and helpful right from booking the cottage and helping us with tips during our stay. The cottage is very quaint over 4 floors the kitchen is in the basement and perfectly equipped with everything you could want. It was lovely sitting in the living room with the top half of the door open watching the world go by. The upper floors are the bedrooms and bathroom. The property has lovely views over the harbour. The cottage is perfectly positioned for the beach which is literally about a 30 second walk away. Polperro is absolutely stunning with pubs and restaurants closely located. We can highly recommend House on the Props, The Three Pilchards and Michelle's for fantastic food and service. We had an amazing stay that we will never forget and would highly recommend the property and would like to thank Emma for being the perfect host and for all of her help during our stay. Thank you so much x

Small, dark gloomy cottage
Firstly a positive, the twin beds were very comfortable.
Negative, small, dark, narrow stairs and awkward to use. Cottage being situated on a main walkway meant keeping the curtains mainly closed and have people regularly look in when they were open. Cottage smelt damp and musty especially in the kitchen. Bathroom too small and sink barely usable. Did not want to spend much time in the cottage.Arrived Saturday evening, went home Wednesday morning.
