Property code: OVERH

Cornwall is well-known for its agricultural heritage, stunning countryside and peaceful, rural locations, and Over The Hill has all of these, in abundance. Situated in a tranquil hillside location only a mile from the picturesque fishing village of Polperro, this property would make a great getaway for couples or small families (using the additional futon bed) looking to relax and unwind.

The traditional stone exterior gives the property a strong connection with its agricultural past and rural location. Inside the property, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room on the first floor is spacious and light with its high ceilings and exposed beams. However, once evening falls and the wood burner is lit, the property will instantly feel warm and cosy. Over The Hill is surrounded by farmland, and guests are free to wander the grounds, taking in the play area with swings and a see-saw, a games area with nets for tennis, badminton and football, and the wildlife pond. Immerse yourself in the country life by feeding the chickens and ducks while you're there too.

A short country walk across the owner's fields leads you to Polperro, a popular fishing village with typically narrow streets and a stunning harbour with clear sea and rocky outcrops. Looe is only 5 miles away, another pretty fishing town with a range of shops and eateries to explore and delve into. From here, you can also enjoy a boat ride across to Looe island and appreciate the beauty of the South Cornish coastline from another perspective.

Lovely week at the cottage despite the very wet weather. We had a power cut caused by a thunderstorm and the owners kindly brought us a flask of hot water for our coffees. Lovely area to explore including Talland Bay, Lantivet and Landhydrock.

The cottage was really comfortable and warm with all the things we needed for our short stay. Views were lovely and it was in a really quiet location, but with shops and places of interest a short drive away.

The Stables cottage was light, spacious and extremely comfortable. Well equipped it contained everything required for a couple to stay and self-cater for a week. Set high above the fishing village of Polperro there are glorious views over countryside. As mentioned by other reviewers, the cottages are accessed via a long and narrow lane. I am used tRead moreo driving on narrow lanes but nervous drivers be warned. Hide

Absolutely loved our stay, over the hill was beautiful, well equipped and the views are lovely. Polperro and Looe are very close by and easy to get too. The roads to and from the farm are narrow and windy but you soon get used to them. The owner was lovely and friendly and we felt right at home there, very sad to leave!
