You will enjoy a friendly service from Chris and Anna Pidcock, their staff, our family and the lovely Nahla, our dog.

We want you to feel at home at Penryn House, whether you are looking for a relaxing break to charge you batteries or an active holiday, we are here to look after you. All our bedrooms are en suite and have been refurbished to a high standard. Digital TV, hairdryers and courtesy trays with tea, fresh coffee, mineral water and drinking chocolate are provided – not to mention the biscuits! All room photos are examples of our rooms - not necessarily the room you will stay in. We have an award winning breakfast, with a Breakfast Award from the AA and you will not find a more sumptuous spread. For that special occasion, we can arrange flowers, chocolates or champagne. We have a well stocked bar with competative prices and a lovely lounge to relax in.

Polperro is a quintessential Cornish fishing village, with its harbour hidden in the folds of the cliffs between Fowey and Looe. It recently reached the semi-final of Channel 4’s Village of the Year and is probably one of the most photographed villages in the world! There is much to explore in Polperro, with its maze of streets, ancient fisherman’s cottages and fish market. Many of the houses crowding round the harbour would have been fish cellars or net lofts in the past. There’s so much going on in Polperro – you can take a boat trip from the harbour (dogs are welcome); buy a crabbing line and attempt to catch a crab or two; explore the rock pools at low tide; fish off the rocks or organise a fishing trip. We are right on the South West Coastal Path, so there are walks east and west as far as you like. If shopping is your thing, then we have many gift shops and art galleries – spending money here won’t be a problem! We also have art classes available in the village in a few places – the light here is almost as good as St Ives – so we have many artists offering to share their skills. We have a natural swimming pool (an enormous rock pool) which you can swim in at low tide.
