Small little place but packed to the rafters.. it opens Cornish time Dreckly and I love that, not everything is on the button here and that's ok. Tons of pictures and information relating to the history of the pirates just trying to make a living and the government which hounded them all down for tax purposes it really didn't feel like history when you look at the world today only we don't have boats and the craftsmen of their day were amazing the boat I pictured took 14 months to complete and I'm talking the full size one. We couldn't tarmac a pothole in that time nowadays.
Absolutely captivating! Wonderful photographic and carefully archived stories of and from local families. I wish we could have had the tour, but needed to return to Kent. Would highly recommend... But bring your reading specs!
Picturesque harbour town with a little beach and boat trips. There is no public parking at the harbour. But a large pay and display carpark that is 750 metres inland. It is one road that leads down to the harbour with plenty of shops and cafes but if you don't want to walk there is a shuttle bus service from the car park down to the harbour and back again
First time absolutely fantastic nice family holiday will go back very soon
Lots of information. Was an honour to see how much the villages fishermen were so loved and held in such high regard. The old photos made it for me.
We stayed in Polperro and had an enjoyable week and was able to travel to the differing towns and villages by both the coastal paths and by car/bus. Fantastic week except for 2 out of 3 trips to the Heritage Musuem cafe. 1st visit Thursday 7th July we met a nice lady who served us a millionaire shortbread termed Guzmillionaire shortbread, very nice and we had a coffee to go with it. Great service. We paid by debit card. 2nd visit, we ordered the same Friday 8th July prior to our walk to Looe, however was met with an abrupt server who told us whilst on the phone that service would be 10 minutes because she was alone and she had to move a box, which was no issue at the time. However after standing for about 3 minutes we were shouted at for continuing to wait by the counter...... we decided to leave. Poor customer service and basic communication skills. 3rd visit Saturday 9th July, we went back to order our usual order to be told that the new limit for contactless was now £15, after previously being served the same items and paying below this threshold. We walked away however on doing so this time was approached by another customer astonished also, were we shared the previous days interaction. What we learnt was this wasn't an isolated incident by these particular individuals... In a nutshell, potentially a great place let down down by 2 particular servers which is a shame, especially for a tourist town. Maybe try the Plantation Cafe or a local cafe by the Chip Shop 1 minute walk for a better experience. In terms of the museum itself, I cannot comment as I did not visit.
Excellent little museum, very interesting and well worth the visit. Highly recommended in the fantastic setting of Polperro.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Great Picturesque Fishing village with amazing tides. Great history here in the smugglers tales and caves, wonderful shoppes and restaurants to indulge in.
Absolutely brilliant day well worth the visit
