Polperro is an idealic place to stay and I would highly recommend a visit
Pros:

The breakfast with extremely good with a lot of choice. The location was perfect and in the heart of Polperro

Cons:

The WiFi was very intermittent and quite frustrating. There was no complimentary water in the room which would have been much appreciated. There was a small fridge on a table on the landing which I didn’t notice until my second day. It would have been nice on arrival that the little things were pointed out.

Pros:

La atención de los dueños. El desayuno excelente y el hermoso desayunador. La decoración de la habitación. El pequeño refrigerador en el pasillo, muy útil para guardar algo sencillo. Con tantas cosas que hicimos no tuvimos tiempo para tomar una cerveza o un trago en el bar, lo cual hubiera sido hermoso, ya que además tenían buenos precios. También valoramos el estacionamiento privado.

Cons:

Todo nos gustó. Por decir algo, la cama era un poco angosta.

A lovely stay at Penryn House Hotel
Pros:

Very welcoming and lovely freshly cooked breakfasts using local ingredients. Rooms were cosy but really clean. Found a great liitle box with things you might have forgotten. A lovely lounge and bar area if weather isn't good but we had great weather. Best place to eat in Polperro is The Three Pilchards.

Cons:

This is personal preference but found the mattress too firm for us.

Pros:

Breakfast was great. Good selection. The family were charming and very helpful. Lovely soft towels. Good water pressure. Common areas were cool and comfortable even in the intense heat.

Cons:

Room was very hot but it was heatwave so probably not usually a problem. No fan provided. Our main issue, and nothing the proprietors have control over, was the noise of the seagulls. It started at 4:30am and went on until 9:30pm! This said, it is a Polperro issue, rather than a property issue.

perfect stay in quiet and beautiful Polperro!
Pros:

I have booked this property for 5 nights of stay from 18-23 June. I am traveling alone and Sam, Chris and their sons made me feel at home here and they have been kind to me. I have booked a double room for the first 2 nights and I could not get a room for the 3rd night though I could get a single room on the 4th and 5th night. Sam was kind enough to offer me a room for the 3rd night and she upgraded my room on the 4th and 5th night to a double room! The family gave me tips on what to do and where to go for yummy food! Chris is also an excellent cook! I hope to come back here again! Thank you so much for having me and I wish you every success in running this hotel!

Cons:

none
