Please call (01503 265602) 48 hours before arrival to arrange where to collect the keys, this will either be at Melrose Cottage or at Waylands Farm Cottages depending on your planned time of arrival.

 

We think that you will find the most convenient option for getting the keys is to phone 07817 946964 when you cross the Tamar and we will know when to meet you at Melrose and show you around (assuming that you are going straight to Melrose). If you let us know what car you are driving (make and colour) we can look out for you in Polperro.

 

When the M5 ends at Exeter continue on the A38 to Plymouth and into Cornwall. After crossing the Tamar Bridge carry on along the A38 towards Liskeard. After about 6 miles you will come to the Kernow Mill roundabout. Following the signs to Looe turn left here onto the A374 and then, after another 2 miles, take the right turn onto the A387. Follow this road into Looe, go over the bridge and continue up the hill towards Polperro.

 

If you are collecting the keys from Waylands Farm Cottages, you will find Waylands Farm Cottages signposted off to the left about ½ mile after the turn off to TenCreek. If we don’t see you arriving, please ring the bell of the slate fronted house in the group of cottages at the end of the drive (NOT the two slate fronted semi-detached houses on the right, half way down the drive).

 

If we are meeting you at Melrose Cottage, continue along the A387 to Polperro for about 4 miles. Descend the hill into Polperro and turn left at the roundabout into the village through the width restriction (you are an authorised vehicle, so ignore the sign). Taking care to avoid the horse drawn carriages, Polperro Trams and visitors, continue down the main street taking the sharp right turn just before the small car park/open space on the right after the Claremont Hotel. There is a sign to The Old Mill House and the Model Village at this turning, you will need to pull over to the left to get a good turning area. Invariably someone will stand just where you want to turn, but don’t panic and rush, operate on Cornish time and wait for them to get bored and move on. Melrose Cottage is straight ahead over the small bridge.

 

The alternative method is to follow the directions to the Model Village which start just outside of Looe. Melrose Cottage is to the left of the Model Village.
