View Self-Catering Holiday Cottages in Torpoint

A holiday cottage in Torpoint offers easy access to the beaches of south Cornwall and a historic town centre to explore. Surrounded by undeveloped countryside on the Rame Peninsula, this welcoming community looks across the sweeping Tamar estuary towards the city of Plymouth. With its independent shops, cosy pubs and history of liquor smuggling, Torpoint is an atmospheric base for self-catering holidays in Cornwall. While many villages and towns on the south Cornwall coast have been developed for tourism, Torpoint remains quiet and distinctively Cornish, with many residents still speaking the county’s ancient language. There’s no better way to get to know the locals than with a pint of ale at one of the town’s pubs. An excellent place to start is the Wilcove Inn, with views across the Tamar and a reputation for serving good food prepared with fresh ingredients from the surrounding fields.
