Nothing was a perfect stay.

What a delightful place to stay, close by the harbour in the heart of pretty Polperro. Claire and her team were so hospitable and helpful and served up a delicious breakfast of which there was a good choice.
I have nothing to negative to say about my 2 night stay which was excellent.

We had a lovely welcome from Claire. Our room was spotless, cosy, very comfortabel too. Breakfast was lst class and staff very polite and pleasant nothing was too much trouble. We were lucky the weather was kind to us. Polperro is a very nice place to have a break with nice little shops and good food in local pubs. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you Polperro.

What a wonderful location! Right in the middle of all the village action, so close, you could smell the sea air and hear the seagulls. Easy walking distance to all the restaurants and the trails. Tidy with a nice breakfast and helpful staff. My only complaints are that the toilet was very hard to use. To the point that it induced anxiety. Would it flush this time or not? Also the bed was hard and there was a bright exit light in my room, the kind that point the way to the stairs in the event of an emergency. But it was so bright that it turned the entire room a neon green, and I couldn’t figure out how to dim it and no one in the hotel helped me. So I barely slept at all. They said it was there by law but I’ve never had such a bright light in my room anywhere else…Otherwise it would’ve been a solid experience.

If you are looking for the perfect little B&B, then you have just found the place. The House on the Props is a little gem, not just located within Polperro, but in the most perfect of spots in the village. The food was fabulous. The breakfast menu was better than some 5* hotels I’ve stayed in around the world. The room was so clean and homely. I mean it actually felt like being at home, it was that comfortable. The bed was lovely, I slept so well that I didn’t want to get up. The room was also so well equipped. The staff couldn’t of been any kinder or lovely. They are so interested in their guests in away I’ve never seen before anywhere.
When you walk out of the door into the beautiful street, you are in the location of the gorgeous little harbour, the lovely old Cornish gift shops, bakeries and the famous old Cornish pubs, some have fabulous live music to round off your evenings. The Blue Peter was my favourite. You are close to the stunning cliff walks and the beach.
Trust me, don’t bother looking at any other properties, because The House on the Props is the one you have been looking for in your search. A fabulous little gem, a jewel within the jewel of Polperro, with staff that sparkle in service to the guests. I can’t wait to go back!

It's all about personal preference, but we couldn't fault it! Claire and her team are really friendly and welcoming. Views over the harbour from our bedroom window, and perfectly placed for short walks around the village and harbour or longer rambles along the SW Coast Path. Breakfasts are fab. We didn't eat in their restaurant, but the menu looked good, and it was fully booked each night. Thank you!

The location overlooking the harbour is excellent, in a beautiful fishing village. The breakfast was very good and having a fridge outside the room, with fresh milk and affordable drinks in, was a bonus.
Long walk form the car park (750m) and having to pay £40 to park for three days. Breakfast only available from 9am

amazing location and very friendly staff
4.6
Right in the middle of Polperro Harbour, wonderful location. Loved watching the tide come in & out. Quirky, building restaurant & rooms. Everything I needed for my stay.
The cooked breakfast was delightful and plenty of choice.
Claire & her team are wonderful hosts. I noted that locals popped into the restaurant for breakfast & coffee. A very friendly & happy place.
Nothing not to like about the property. The parking situation in Polperro is very expensive and a 10 minute walk from the property, which may be a challenge for people with mobility difficulties.

nothing is too much for them.

More than excellent, exceeded expectations. It was perfect. I was walking the SW Coast Path ( March 2023). It is on the Path, no Diversion. Charming welcome. The room met all my needs; including a good hot shower and real coffee. Breakfast was great with superb walnut bread (made on the premises). The cafe/restaurant is well supported by locals ( a good sign). All the staff were pleasant and helpful. I had several stays along this South Cornwall path area and this is the only one I will return to. It was simply the best.

All good.

Clear and her team are doing a great job. This I believe will be the first good year following covid. Bookings are up. so she says, well, good luck to her for the future.
There was nothing that I didn't like, other than the walk from the car park, Which I have to add is nothing to do with Clare and her team, and is totally out of her control. It is simply the geography of the village.

The staff were so welcoming and helpful. Even left me a birthday card which was a lovely surprise. Breakfast was really good and we had Dinner on our last night which was really nice (wish we had eaten there more often). If we go back we will stay there again and if only a day trip, we will book a meal there. Definitely recommend this place.

Location and view of the harbour. My husband is a boat enthusiast so he was delighted with the view he woke up to daily.
For me there was nothing I didn’t like. People with knee problems might find it difficult doe to walking involved and stairs.
