This cottage is absolutely lovely inside- it’s been renovated but kept so much of its history. The view is incredible but this comes at a cost- you share it with many tourists especially when the weather is good. it got very noisy with people standing outside the whole time and walking past the kitchen windows to the viewing deck. (Sometimes peeping in!) We also had a few nights with drunken youths till all hours of the morning making loud noises rights outside / in the beach waking up my young kids and grandparents which isn’t fair for our holiday. Perhaps a quieter spot out of the summer holiday season.

I'm not one to normally leave reviews if there's nothing positive to say but this cottage and our stay is worthy of a review. Spending a week in this lovely cottage was just the ticket. The cottage perfectly situated for the harbour and centre of the town without having to climb steep hills which for Polperro, I found can be quite the asset. First impressions of the cottage don't give way to disappointment at any time and whereas it had a couple of quirks it's a few hundred years old and allowed. Front door leading one way to fully equipped kitchen and wonderful to have plenty of glasses, mugs, cutlery etc. Far too often when renting a place there's only enough for single use per person before having to clean. The adjacent sitting room with a glorious viewing window also, again, has plenty of very comfortable seating. Upstairs beds and bedrooms galore with a fine selection of towels, gels etc laid on and an excellent hot water system providing bountiful supply to the showers etc. Open beams in the roof vaulted ceilings give rise to the warm homely feel. The garden terrace off one room is one quirk but well worth the quirk... makes for brilliant views and quite the sun trap. A barbeque rested there for use but we didn't partake preferring the offerings of the local amazing eating places. It can be said that the harbour and beach area is a main attraction of the village and it can appear busy at times in front but it's just not that busy at all in the bigger picture of things and it's below the cottage and whereas it could appear amongst it all from the outside it's totally the feel of away from the Madding Crowd inside. All in all the cottage, the situation, the amenities and the genuinely nice friendly local people and holiday makers alone mixed with location and all local walks etc makes for a perfect place Oh a Cream Tea awaiting our arrival was lovely and I as normal had cream first! :)

Communication with Amanda was excellent. Helpful and prompt responses. She gave excellent recommendations for places to visit and eat. House was very comfortable and homely, it has everything you would need. The window seat is an excellent place to watch Harbour life. The view from the terrace is 2nd to none. The position of the house is perfect for fun in the sea, walking coastal paths and enjoying the friendly village. We had the perfect family holiday!

We had the most fantastic holiday at Willy Wilcox Cottage, the cottage is amazing, very high standard all round it was immaculate, the cottage is on the beach and the views are amazing, magical, everything you need is already in the cottage. Amanda the owner was excellent very helpful. This was the perfect place for me and family to recuperate and explore Cornwall we loved it !! Many thanks Amanda & John.

This is the most perfect cottage in the best location in Polperro. Steeped in history with a view over the sea and harbour, Willy Wilcox gives is a short walk from all the restaurants and facilities of Polperro. It is kitted out with everything you need, warm and cosy and exceedingly comfortable. Amanda was really helpful. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Beautiful historic property, situated in prime location in Polperro Harbour. Excellent communication with the holiday host,who had made every effort to ensure a warm welcome. Simply stunning vistas. Home comforts and cleeanlin

The pictures of the property sold us on a vacation in Polperro but being there was incredible. Every single thing was perfect. The historic qualities of the house are fascinating. And, of course, the views were as picturesque as it gets!

Fabulous , amazing , peaceful a dream cottage and location 😃🥰
