Overview
Property code: OC-V28787

Nestled along the picturesque Cornish coastline, this spacious and elegant holiday home offers the perfect retreat for families or small groups seeking a dog-friendly Cornish getaway. Overlooking the popular seaside town of Looe and its busy estuary, guests are ideally positioned to benefit from the town’s amenities, with a wide range of local shops, family attractions, and pubs and eateries just metres away. For memorable outdoor adventures, pick up the South West Coast Path, less than 500 metres away, and enjoy a choice of breathtaking walking routes. Head eastwards through the Limmicks Rocks to reach the coastal hamlet of Millendreath (1 mile), or westwards towards Portnadler Bay (3 miles), enjoying stunning views of St Georges Island along the way. For family days out, head to the fantastic Adrenalin Quarry (7.5 miles), or for local Cornish towns and villages with plenty of character, visit the wonderful village of Polperro (5 miles), Polruan (10.5 miles) and Fowey (12.5 miles).

Step into the timeless elegance of this contemporary Victorian property, where classic charm meets stylish comfort. The lounge, adorned with period features, captivates with its breathtaking views of the estuary. Natural light floods through large windows, illuminating the space and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere where you can kick back in front of the Smart TV. Transition seamlessly into the dining space, perfect for intimate gatherings of four, before wandering through the hallway to discover a chic kitchen, boasting all you need to cook memorable meals for the group. Upstairs awaits a haven of rest, with a king-size bedroom with fabulous views, and a twin room exquisitely designed for comfort. Serving the bedrooms and completing the interior is a contemporary and well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside you will adore the sunny decking area, with seating and stunning views over the river and out towards Looe Harbour. This is the perfect spot to start your day with a cuppa, or for al fresco evening meals after a busy day of exploring. There is also a small, enclosed patio to the rear of the property.

Great holiday accommodation in a great location. Steep walk down steps and a narrow road straight into Looe where there are plenty of pubs, restaurants and takeaways for dinner. Don't try and drive to the property. Park in the Millpool Car Park and get Pete (Looe Luggage Transfer on Facebook) to move your bags with his quad bike and trailer.

Really nice cottage/house. Bigger than it looks in the photos, well decorated and superb location, especially if you don't need to park/drive there. No washing machine, dryer or freezer and little in the way of pleasant outdoor space but otherwise we highly recommend the cottage.

If you are driving to this property, please do not make the same mistake as me, it will taint your experience. Do not attempt to drive your car to the property (particularly any car larger than a corsa, fiesta, micra etc) Book Pete in advance he is a super friendly chap who provides an excellent service. He will deliver your luggage to the door forRead more only 8 (subject to change) You can find him on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/1AvZjb6zrA/?mibextid=wwXIfr (+447810644449). My advice to you, is park at the Millpond carpark as suggested by the host and transport your belongings via Pete. If you attempt to drive your vehicle to the property, expect to scratch both sides badly. Otherwise, the cottage is perfect, very cosy, reasonably equipped (I managed to make a full Christmas Dinner). The walk into Looe takes about 10mins (max) down hill. I guess if you struggle with steep inclines, going back to the cottage might be a challenge. Looe is a lovely place with a wonderful beach, great walking routes, friendly people and amazing pasties (try Sarahs pasties). I will return as its a perfect getaway. Hide

A lot of thought has gone into the presentation of this Victorian terraced house - decor in particular is perfect for relaxing on holiday. Views of the estuary are exceptional and being a little walk from the town means that it is also very quiet. Access is not for the faint hearted but that is the price for these views and solitude. The neighboursRead more are very friendly and helpful. Looe is very buzzing and atmospheric, locals are also very friendly, a nice feel. It's a great contrast between the house and the busy town.

Beautiful home with beautiful furniture and a lovely view, the outside at the back was not what I was expecting but a lovely place to sit at the front, great neighbours! On the incline of a very steep hill from town back to cottage. Owners very accommodating and approachable of which I was very grateful

I would recommend new visitors walk to the property first to view how narrow Shutta Road is one way only with very tight turns and suitable for small cars only. I would recommend Millpool car park. A pre ordered parking ticket can save visitor a lot of money. Also for visitors to keep a large amount of change as most car parks only accept cash we Read morevisiting different locations. A excellent location for visiting a number of different locations Hide
