Sweet cottage a short walk down to Polperro village which is a delightful location for a holiday. The cottage itself was beautifully clean on arrival and well equipped but the kitchen cupboards smelt strongly of damp. Although it sleeps 6 the downstairs accommodation is not spacious and better suits 4. The low ceilings and doorways did cause a problem for the taller people in our party with a couple of nasty bumps! Quite a bit of road noise from the bus stop opposite which is in constant use with buses queuing at times, making it tricky to turn in and out of the drive. There was never any hot water in the en-suite shower (noted by many in the visitor’s book) and the drains are blocked, so the shower tray doesn’t drain and overflows. The loo blocked in the main bathroom too and although Classic Cottages got someone out straight away, the problem returned on the last day. Overall a bit disappointing. ...

We’re delighted to hear that you found the cottage spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and perfectly located for exploring Polperro. We’re sorry that you experienced some plumbing issues on arrival, though we’re pleased to report that these have now been resolved. At the time of your stay, a nearby road closure unfortunately led to unusually heavy traffic. We hope you enjoyed your visit overall and would love to welcome you back in the future.

Great location and parking The very low ceilings and front door meant a number of blows to the head. Be careful if tall. Handy for pub across the road.

The cottage was perfect for. The stairs are steep but not too high. Ceilings are a little low, but this is to be expected in a traditional cottage and was not a problem. Pubs and restaurants in the area are great and the town is not overly busy. The drive fitted 2 cars fairly easily and the seating area at the front is a little sun trap. A couple of the chairs outside were broken and although this couldn’t be remedied during our stay classic cottages keep in touch. There is a very handy bus stop opposite. Even the car park around the corner was very usable and although some feel the daily rate is expensive you can park for the week for £40. We would love to come back again. ...
