About this property

A charming cottage in the heart of the villageA charming cottage in the heart of the village

Libbys Cottage is a charming two bedroom cottage set in the peaceful area of The Warren, one of the most prestigious and beautiful areas of Polperro. There are tea houses, restaurants, pubs and the harbourfront all on the doorstep. It is within easy reach of the fishing towns of Looe and Fowey.

Libbys Cottage is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious buildings in Polperro and is a Georgian grade II listed building of historical interest. The property is named after a prominent family in Polperro. Members of the Libby family are recorded in the area as far back as the 16th Century. So step back in time, relax and enjoy this unspoilt, picture postcard village.

Internally the cottage is set over three floors and has been beautifully furnished with nautical highlights. The cottage features exposed stone walls, window seats and a cosy flame-effect fire. Externally, Libbys Cottage offers a small front patio area complete with seating for four.

Polperro is arguably one of the prettiest villages in Cornwall, characterised by a jumble of fishermen’s cottages and colourful boats anchored in the harbour. Here you will also find a handful of shops, cafes and restaurants to enjoy along with the Polperro Museum and The Shell House - a popular local attraction. The area is also ideal for keen walkers, with spectacular coastal walks within easy reach. There is a small sandy beach in Polperro at low tide.

Be sure to visit the miniature village or take a boat trip from the harbour. Polperro also hosts a music festival each year and celebrates Bonfire night with spectacular fireworks. There is a local golf course at nearby Looe, National Trust houses, the Duchy garden centre and much more within easy reach.

Within a short drive you will reach Looe, a popular resort with gift shops, fish and chip stalls and a family-friendly beach. Be sure to also make the short drive to Fowey, a charming fishing town with a selection of boutiques and art galleries. Fowey holds many events throughout the year including the popular Fowey Royal Regatta and the Daphne du Maurier literary festival. If you feel like a day on the water you can hire kayaks and boats or join a cruise along the river.

    ...Cottage in Polperro for a week with my Mum. ( . It was a treat for her 70th birthday ) my 2 X teenage daughters & our 9 month old French Bulldog Albert. It was the first holiday I have had in this country for many years & I can not rate it highly enough. The cottage was absolutely stunning as was Polperro. We travelled around to different locations including beaches that were dog friendly. All pubs, cafes & shops were very welcoming & we will definitely be making Polperro an annual holiday moving forward. Thank you Blue Chip Samantha & family xx Submitted by Samantha on 15/08/2016

    ...although we have stayed in Polperro before, this is our first time with Blue Chip. The accommodation was amazing, we were welcomed with a complimentary bottle of wine (very nice), tea, coffee, and milk in the fridge. Everything we needed and could of asked for, was there waiting for us! Its the little things that matter the most, for instance a small book was placed upstairs containing all popular local restaurants with recent reviews and ratings. As well, brochures for days out were there to ensure everyday was jammed packed with as much activities as possible- it was never a dull day! As for the cottage, well it was beautiful- with stunning views and a welcoming vibe, you instantly became relaxed. Libby's cottage was immaculately clean and absolutely faultless, as a family we had no concerns and hesitation to stay again! The only downside was that we stayed for a week, but could of done with two instead! We recommend this company and cottage to anyone as it caters for all, no matter what we ensure you it will help you unwind from the busy world! Submitted by Brian on 01/08/2016
