Overview
Property code: OC-L10019

West North Cottage is a 200 year old fisherman's house, set in a quiet cobbled courtyard, with four other similar properties, tucked just behind West Looe's working fishing quay. Boat trips, bookable from the harbour, include glass bottom boat excursions, sea cruises and speed boat rides or you can just sit and watch the fishing boats going about their daily business. The property is conveniently located to explore both West Looe and the stunning Hannafore seafront with its rock pools, pitch and putt and cafes. Here visitors can enjoy views over to beautiful St. George's Island and a fabulous coastal walk leading to pretty coves like Talland Bay and the neighbouring fishing village of Polperro. From Looe Harbour visitors can take a 10 minute stroll or a 40p boat taxi (tide permitting) across to East Looe with its long sandy beach and many bars, cafes, restaurants and independent shops. West North Cottage is well located to explore Cornwall's mile after mile of glorious coastline. For a city visit, Plymouth is around 40 minutes' drive away, and Truro about an hour and a half.  The acclaimed Eden Project is around 40 minutes away. Well-renovated to provide comfortable holiday accommodation West North Cottage retains its byegone charm with its curvy, thick white washed walls, original Delabole slate flooring, exposed beams and stonework. Downstairs an open plan living area makes the most of the cosy space with a characterful lounge/diner, galley kitchen and wet room. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a further cloakroom complete the property. The front of the cottage is accessed via a shared courtyard with some pretty pot plants and a bench for guests to sit out on a sunny evening.

Lovely cottage in the heart of West Looe right opposite an eccentric bookshop, sixty seconds from a great pub, with the fabulous Londis just up the road! Very comfortable and cosy, kept the heat out nicely. The kitchen is tiny, and not designed for tall people (my 6'3 husband kept banging his head on the cooker hood and couldn't fit at the sink toRead more wash up, and the oven door can't quite open fully!) but that's an issue with the building, and it's as well fitted into the minimal space available as anything could be. Just don't plan to cook elaborate three-course meals every night or you might get frustrated. We had a small glitch early on and the company were super responsive and helpful and got it sorted same day. A lovely holiday in a great place. Hide

Nice cottage, could do with some oven gloves but otherwise all the basics needs you might have are covered. We have a concern regarding the safety of radiator temperature in the shower room and have alerted the agency.

WiFi would be good as it was impossible to get a signal so I found it hard to make arrangements to met friends who live in other parts of Cornwall but thats more of a personal issue

Lovely cottage in a perfect location, right in the heart of Looe. We would highly recommend it and not hesitate to book again. Downside was no internet/WiFi. My husband paid 20 for 5 days WiFi through ee, however, signal was very flakey.

A beautiful little cottage tucked away in a quiet area of Looe. The place could not have been cleaner and was very tidy and well presented. The kitchen although small was very well equipped. The whole place was very warm and welcoming.

Cute. We came here in 1988. Our first time away together. We wanted to be non contactable and incognito, which we were. 37 years later we returned to find nothing had changed. Unfortunately we had changed. Almost no phone signal available, and there is no wi-fi. Its a shame, but the world has moved on a bit. However, if you want something cute and Read morecosy, away from the world, but still close to a lovely pub (jolly sailor) and walking distance to the other side of Looe for all the shops and eateries, then this is the place. Dont expect to flop in the sofa. Only a two seater, but it is a small cottage. Hide
