Breakfast and dinner was delicious and portions very generous. Spacious room but could do with bigger bed especially there is a room for it. Air con was a bonus! We will definitely go back in the future!

The Cottage Bed & Breakfast

Polperro

Boasting a garden and views of quiet street, The Cottage Bed & Breakfast is a guest house set in a historic building in Polperro, 500 metres from Polpero Beach. It is set 1.8 km from Lekerock Cove Beach and offers private check-in and check-out. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. Lovely character property, the room we had was great, the owners, Simon and Maz are a lovely and helpful couple who made us feel very welcome indeed and made us feel at home, breakfast was excellent and Maz's home made marmalade and lemon curd was to die for, so tasty, if there is a down side, I'd say it was that there was no parking at the property due to its location, so it was a fair walk to the carpark, but having said that, we had a free parking pass provided by the owners which saved us £40 in parking fees 👍couldn't fault the place tbh,.👍😉
