Located in the picturesque village of Polperro, Cornwall, this charming fisherman's cottage, known as Westhaven, has been thoughtfully updated to enhance the comfort of its guests. Accommodating up to four people with two cozy bedrooms, the cottage offers stunning views of the sea and harbor, visible from the window seats found in most rooms. Its prime location near the coastal footpath and essential amenities, including pubs, restaurants, and shops, makes it an ideal retreat for those looking to explore the beautiful South West of England.
The interior of Westhaven features a welcoming kitchen/diner equipped with modern appliances, such as an electric cooker, microwave, and washer/dryer, alongside a dining table that seats four. The stripped pine flooring adds to the cottage's rustic charm. Ascending to the first floor leads to a comfortable sitting room, where guests can unwind on a three-seater sofa or two armchairs while enjoying the captivating views and the warmth of an electric log-burning fire. A luxurious shower room with a contemporary suite completes the first floor, ensuring convenience and comfort for visitors.
On the second floor, guests will find a double bedroom with a wrought iron bedstead and a fitted cupboard, complemented by beautiful views. Additionally, a twin bedroom with two single beds offers a cozy space for family or friends traveling together. Outside, a tiny flagstone courtyard provides a pleasant spot for fresh air, although it is primarily functional with a washing line. The property also benefits from an allocated parking space at Fishna Bridge, making access to the cottage easier, despite the lack of direct car access.
Westhaven is fully equipped for a comfortable stay, with included amenities such as bed linen, WiFi, electricity, and heating. However, guests should note that towels are not provided, and mobile reception can be limited, though some networks perform well. The nearby Polperro beach is just a ten-minute walk away, while other south coast beaches are easily reachable by car. For those seeking more extensive facilities, the town of Looe is only four miles away, with Plymouth and Truro further afield at 25 and 29 miles, respectively. This delightful cottage serves as an excellent base for exploring the stunning coastal scenery and local attractions of Cornwall.
