Willy Wilcox Cottage is the listed seafront cottage, with the bright blue door and shutters, seen on so many paintings and postcards of both Polperro and Cornwall. The cottage is one of Polperro's historic landmarks partially built over a cave and previously belonging to the late 18th century fisherman, Willy Wilcox, reputedly believed to have been involved in smuggling. It has four bedrooms, all have sea and fishing harbour views. The beamed sitting room has an open fire with copper canopy and an ancient pickling well for nets. The well and the mysterious narrow passage between the cliff face and the cottage are illuminated and visible from the sitting room through a glazed window. Legend has it that Willy was trapped by the sea whilst secreting contraband into the cave and on the beach below! The room also boasts a large deep bay window, a perfect vantage point with seating to enjoy the heavenly views looking over the fishing boats in the harbour and views out to sea. The unique raised beach terrace has stunning far reaching sea views, a great place for breakfast, a nightcap or any time in between and there is also an enclosed rear terrace. We welcome you with a home-made cream tea. Willy Wilcox comfortably sleeps eight is just feet from the beach in this historic village. Its idyllic location has the National Trust South Coastal Path leading from steps behind the cottage which is situated over the cave and beach in Polperro providing fantastic walking along this unspoiled coastline. Looe, Polruan and Fowey are also within close proximity to here and are all also quaint fishing harbours with plenty to do and see. The pubs, restaurants, art galleries and shops of Polperro are just seconds away with its quaint narrow streets and colour washed cottages nestled into the valley surrounding the working fishing harbour. We are very dog friendly and they are welcomed widely in Polperro. The house also comes with a private parking space a short walk from the property. This listing has a small number of reviews in the review section simply because we are the new owners of the property, however all previous reviews (of which there are many) are posted below which will hopefully give any future guests a clear outline of what to expect from this wonderful cottage. The house remains unchanged and so the previous reviews are an accurate representation. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any queries. Kindest regards Amanda PREVIOUS REVIEWS: Date of Stay: 9th June 2018 "Amazing location" We had a fantastic holiday in a beautiful cottage in an amazing location. It was everything I thought it would be and more. I would highly recommend this property and hope to return one day. Thank you Amanda for all your help. C Evans - 22nd June 2018 Date of Stay: 1st February 2018 "Breathtaking" Property couldn't be situated in a better place. In a beautiful little village with a picturesque coastal views. Best place I have been. Will definitely be returning. Gary B - 4 February 2018 Date of Stay: 20th January 2018 "Utterly perfect" An absolute gem of a property and place and a real reminisce for me as I used to play on the beach as a child. 43 years later I get to revisit. Hoping to be a regular at Willy Wilcox and huge thanks to Tracey for making it all so welcoming and sparkly. Toasty warm on arrival with delicious scones and clotted cream waiting for us. The house is incredibly well equipped, nothing has been left out. Only sorry we didn’t bring a suitable smart fizz bottle to add to the collection, will endeavour to remedy this next time! Had a lovely chat with Gina the local artist with a gallery in pole position in the village, although she pretty much has another gallery in Willy Wilcox as a there are lovely pieces of hers dotted around and about the property. The staff at The Blue (Blue Peter pub) and The Three Pilchards are all delightful. Try the Foy gin in The Blue. Wonderful coastal walks, log fire, board games and just general perpetual gazing at the stonkingly stunning view. Go and stay it’s so worth it. Thank you for all the very prompt and helpful communication, hope to speak to you again. Kindest regards and thanks once again. J, A, A & S – 24th January 2018 Date of Stay: 8th January 2018 "Every time we stay we are enchanted" We stayed in summer, autumn, spring and winter since our children were small. Now we bring our grandchildren too. Warm, welcoming and unbelievable location on the harbours edge. The Blue Peter Pub does lovely food and a take away service. Alison P – 17th January 2018 Date of Stay: 24th November 2017 "Cosy cottage ideally placed in the harbour" We had just a wonderful time at Willy Wilcox. We fell in love with Polperro after visiting it for the first time in the summer but it's just lovely at this time of year - the streets are quiet, the fires are lit, the Blue Peter pub was especially welcoming, and we felt very comfortable tucked up in the cottage. Most of the local artist shops seemed fairly pleased that we visited them as well judging by how much of their work we brought home - a large photo of Willy Wilcox with the waves crashing over the roof is going to take centre stage in our living room soon. We even made some new friends sitting in the Blue Peter who we've kept in touch with since so we've left with very fond memories all round. Andre P – 17th December 2017 Date of Stay: 9th September 2017 "Don't book it....I want it all for myself!!" Our fourth stay at Willy's, if there is a better location in a quintessential Cornish harbour I would love the hear about it please Carole T – 16th September 2017 Date of Stay: 19th August 2017 "Quaint cottage in fabulous location" This is a really nice place to stay directly on the harbour. Lesley C – 29th August 2017 Date of Stay: 29th July 2017 Absolutely charming property with its own part to play in a smugglers story.We stayed for a week, family of four plus 2 grandparents. The house is really well equipped and clean. It could not be better placed in Polperro and the pub a couple of doors down is the best in Polperro. I guess my only dent would be the parking arrangements not only for the house but Polperro in general. Space is at a premium so be prepared for some precision parking. Looe is only 15 minutes away and has a bit more in the way of supermarkets etc. Overall a great booking and would love to return. Tony R – 8th August 2017 Date of Stay: 8th July 2017 "Idyllic location, beautiful views" This cottage is just what we needed for the idyllic break. Spent many hours watching the boats from the top terrace. Gorgeous views, beautiful place . Would definitely like to go back. Sharon M – 17th July 2017 Date of Stay: 1st April 2017 "The perfect seaside house" Our 5th stay at Willy. Such a relaxing place. Our teenage and adult children still love to be in Polperro. House is very well presented with a good range of kitchen gear. Also, children's games and a good selection of DVDs. Perfect position overlooking the sea. Anonymous – 10th April 2017 Date of Stay: 27th March 2017 "Location! Location!!.....Location!!!" The weather was a bit off, but even watching the choppy sea out of the bay window of Willy's cosy lounge was a real treat. Carole T – 2nd April 2017 Date of Stay: 25th January 2017 "Wonderful holiday home in a superb location" We stayed here for 3 weeks and certainly could have stayed longer. The property is a home from home with all the amenities you could wish for. I'm not sure there is a better location in all of Cornwall, we loved hearing the crashing waves and the proximity to the beach and the coastal walks were great. Polperro is a lively village and although we were there very much out of season there were pubs and some shops open. Couch's restaurant has a great tasting menu and the Blue Peter inn was very friendly and cosy. Take away fish and chips from the 3 Pilchards not to be missed. Further afield there are great places to visit in under an hour: Eden Project, lost garden of Heligan, Fowey (do try the ferry!) and Padstow (great restaurants) to name a few. We went to quite a few beaches with the dog, Constantine near Padstow was our favourite, however nearer Par was good to exercise the dog and Polkerris with Sam’s on the Beach was lovely. The owner Deborah could not have been a better host and the house keepers Tracey and Carl were brilliant This will definitely be our next stop in Cornwall again, if it's not booked up! Deborah B – 16th February 2017 Date of Stay: 21st January 2017 "Unrivalled location" Another great stay @ Willy's, lots of very thoughtful touches by the owner. Carole T – 8th February 2017 Date of Stay: 7th January 2017 "Magical Place" It's a magical place and we love staying. We will be back, we hopefully intend booking a Christmas in the near future also. My only regret is that on the day we left, the fishing boats were called in early and the Storm Gate was ordered to be shut. I love the stormy weather and drive my wife mad going on about it. I have a friend and his wife making a booking in the future too. They'll love it. I am a London Cabbie and tell everyone about it. As we say in the trade.........Be Lucky. Karl – 1st September 2017 Date of Stay:12th December 2016 "Cosy, quiet, charming with lots of character" My husband, 3 year old son and myself all enjoyed our stay at Willy Wilcox. It is perfectly located with amazing views. Tracey and Deborah were great in the lead up to our stay and we really appreciated the passes the hotel in Looe. Our son loved that. The cream teas were outstanding too and a lovely Touch. The open fire was lovely too. We would definitely recommend.

The house was in a beautiful location overlooking the sea and harbour. There were lots of lovely walks and all pubs and restaurants offered delicious food - the Blue Peter Inn was our favourite. The house was immaculately clean and the beds were all super comfortable. We barely ventured outside of Polperro during our stay!! All correspondence was answered promptly and Amanda was very helpful - she even sourced a vegan scone for our daughter which was very much appreciated.Thank you for a lovely week!! ##### Neil M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Katherine M. 6 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location with best view but not very private 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. ##### Katherine M.

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! :) ##### jeremy C.

Perfect location 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.

Communication with the owners was excellent throughout. The property was immaculate and very well appointed. It even had a memory foam mattress in one of the main bedrooms, which is so refreshing to find. We loved everything about Willy Wilcox Cottage and Polperro. You simply cannot get enough of drinking in the most spectacular views from all of the windows windows, doors and most of all from the main seating area.
