While there is certainly no shortage of traditional fishing villages scattered along the south coast of Cornwall, holiday rental accommodation in Polperro will put you in one that seems to be particularly highly sought after, possibly because there is so much history, culture and scenic beauty crammed into such a small area that it would be hard to find a location quite as unique and fascinating anywhere else in Cornwall. Cottage rentals in Polperro reflect the heritage of this village in the amount of authentic character and charm and wealth of original features that can be found in most of them - being so close to an 80 mile stretch of 'heritage' coast and literally minutes away from the sea, holiday accommodation in Polperro is likely to once have been home to a real fisherman if not a real smuggler, as being a thriving hub for smuggling in the 18th century, casks of contraband brandy and bales of tobacco where brought ashore as often as the pilchards that once formed the backbone of the fishing industry in this enterprising Cornish village! A cottage rental in Polperro will show you a destination whose continued popularity and prosperity now relies more on tourism, although the Polperro Heritage Museum of Fishing and Smuggling serves as a constant reminder of a much more racey, if not romantic, past, even though there seems to have been very little else that has changed over the centuries in a location renowned as much for an atmosphere steeped in mystery and legend as the picturesque settings in which holiday accommodation in Polperro can undoubtedly be found.
