Farthing Cottage

Farthing Cottage is a one-bedroom property on a narrow, traffic-free lane in Polperro, with harbour views from every room. The cottage sleeps two and suits couples specifically - the property is not suitable for children or toddlers. Window seats and beamed ceilings run through the cottage, preserving the proportions of the original fisherman's building.

Inside, the layout is compact across one bedroom and one living area, with kitchen and bathroom fitted into the footprint. The cottage has been furnished in keeping with its character while bringing in modern comforts. A welcome pack is provided on arrival.

Outside, the position on a traffic-free lane keeps noise minimal - worth noting in a village where many cottages sit directly on the main route down to the harbour. The harbour itself is a few steps away, and the rating of 110 reviews averaging 8/10 reflects the steady return rate this part of Polperro tends to attract.

The South West Coast Path starts on the doorstep, connecting the village to Talland Bay (1.4 km) and Lekerock Cove (1.2 km) along a walkable stretch of the south coast. Looe is a short drive east, Fowey a longer but scenic journey west, making Polperro a workable base for most of the south Cornwall coast.
