Overview

Spindrift is a light and airy bungalow set yards from Plaidy Beach and ideal for any couple wishing to "get away from it all". Plaidy is a beautiful and prime location for those looking for tranquility and peace. The accommodation is a few steps away from Plaidy Beach which nestles into the coastline with its far reaching views to Downderry and across to Looe Island at Hannafore. The accommodation is tastefully furnished with its open plan living quarters facing a lovely patio area, approached by the french doors leading to a palm tree fringed sanctuary where one can sit and sip a cool drink, whilst taking in the relaxing and wonderful sea and coastal views this accommodation affords.

It is here that one can take a fishing trip, coastal cruise or speed boat ride, which can be arranged from the quay.

The cottage is in a fantastic location very close to Plaidy beach which is un crowded. Easy walk on coastal path to Looe. Road access is narrow lanes/private roads.

Great location for the beach. Must be aware though due to the steepness of road leading to and away from cottage not appropriate for any mobility issues. 12 minute drive to Looe. Walking it to Looe over cliff walk 30 minutes.

Clean and comfortable if a little dated. Had a lovely week, proximity to the beach is amazing for the dog. The shops/pub whilst close it's a very steep uphill walk all the way.

The cottage was set in an idealic spot for walking to the beach. The area is quite and peaceful. The layout of the cottage was great and flowed well. Ideally situated to explore the local area of Looe, Fowey, St. Austell and many more.

The property was in a lovely location, very quiet & relaxing. It was lovely to sit out on the patio with the gentle sound of the sea as we chilled-out with a nice glass of wine. The beach, which is literally a few steps away, is pebbles & rocks, so the sea isnt easily accessible but its nice to have a wander along. When the tide had gone out we didRead more manage to clamber over the rocks to Millendreath beach but it wasnt easy! You can walk to Millendreath beach along some roads & coastal path which is quite steep in places but not too far. Its a shingle beach & quite quiet & has a couple of places to sit for a drink (& eat) You can also walk to Looe, which we did a few times as its not far (abit up & down hill but easy enough) Looe is lovely with lots of shops, pubs cafes etc & a nice sandy beach. We had a fab time & would highly recommend staying at Spindrift. Hide

This is a lovely little cottage very close to Plaidy beach, which is a shingle beach but dog-friendly. It is ideal if you want a complete get-away. We loved it for its proximity to the beach which is literally just a few steps away. It is accessed by some very narrow lanes, however. The kitchen is very well stocked with utensils and equipment. The Read morebathroom has an effective shower. There was plenty of room inside for two people and we had a relaxing stay. Please be aware that internet reception is almost non-existent and there is no Wifi at the property. Our communications with the owner on arrival and check out were very good and friendly. Hide
