Claire & Priscilla
The House on the Props is a unique building located on the harbour in the picturesque fishing village of Polperro. In the heart of the village and situated directly on the South West Coastal Path it is the perfect location as a stop over or for a relaxing short break.
Our check-in time is from 4 - 6pm. If you will be arriving after 6pm please let us know in advance so Claire or Priscilla can be at the property to meet you.
Due to the location of the property we do not have any parking at our accommodation. Parking is available in the main car park at the entrance to the village which is 750m from the property. Charges do apply at the car park & the machines only take cash.
