The nearby villages of Looe and Polperro are a must for a day trip. Take time to wonder the maze of streets, independent stores and maybe relax on the beach or the harbour. For those shopping days try the historic ocean city of Plymouth. Attractions in the area include, Antony House, Mount Edgecumbe House, karting, the Eden Project and many National Trust properties. For the keen golfers, there is an 18 hole golf course open to non-members very close by.

A lovely peaceful location with great sea views and access to the beach and coastal walks. A cozy cottage even in a winter storm with log burner to keep you warm. Rose is a thoughtful owner who keeps the cottage in great shape and makes you very welcome.

We have just returned from our second visit to this delightful cottage. The perfect location for those who love peace and quiet, right on the coast path and within walking distance of the pub, serving very good food (up a steep hill, but worth it). We had awful weather this time, so we were even more appreciative of all this cottage has to offer. ARead more newly fitted kitchen adds to its charm. Rose is a wonderful owner, so friendly and extremely helpful and keeping the cottage immaculately clean. Hide
