Overview
Property code: 52759

Situated just a few hundred metres from the river in the fishing town of Looe in South Cornwall, May Cottage is an attractive holiday retreat which has been thoughtfully updated offering harbour views and a Mediterranean-style suntrap patio garden. Stroll down to the waterside and watch the fishing boats return with their catch, spend a day browsing the shops, or wander across the bridge to East Looe and the attractive sandy beach.

 

Settle in May Cottage's pretty lounge and take in the views across Looe's rooftops across to the harbour and beyond to the sparkling sea. Tasteful seaside touches reflect the property's proximity to the coast and the riverside quay, whilst the patio garden to the rear of cottage offers a sunny spot to breathe in the fresh sea air and listen to the sounds of sea birds call as you relax over al fresco drinks.

 

Located in West Looe, the quieter half of this charming harbour town, May Cottage is ideally situated for those who want to enjoy a true seaside holiday. A whole host of boat trips can be enjoyed from the quay, including thrilling shark fishing excursions and relaxing wildlife spotting trips on a glass-bottomed boat out to Looe Island where seals bask on the rocks. 4 miles to the west of the town, Polperro is a wonderfully unspoilt fishing village with an interesting array of artist galleries and a unique tidal bathing pool set in front of the rocks and cave on the beach.

Ideal location on West Looe Hill. If you want a quirky Cornish cottage and don't mind a bit of a climb, this is the holiday let for you. We liked it very much. Close to all amenities including use of the parking voucher at the small private car park nearby

Nice little cottage clean & tidy, fairly well equipped. 1/3 of the way up a very steep hill, but you should expect hills if you go to Looe. We had a great stay with our dog, loverly break & hope to go back one day.

Lovely cottage with unique layout and amazing view. Cosy with lots of character. Looe is very hilly and May cottage is half way up a steep hill followed by steps to entrance. However good location as only few minutes walk down to East Looe where there are plenty of shops, pubs etc and a clean sandy beach.

Be prepared for a lot of steps and steep hill to the property. Parking within a few minutes walk and very convenient. Comfortable, light and airy cottage, not sutable for anybody who is not physically fit and able or dogs.

We enjoyed staying here and exploring Looe and the super walks along the coast and up the river. The cottage was clean, quiet, comfortable and reasonably well equipped, and we liked sitting out in the decking area and making use of the barbecue there. We liked the village shop and the Jolly Sailor pub just down the hill, and it was handy being ableRead more to leave the car in the car park just up the hill. A good base for holiday. Hide

Fabulous location, especially the view from the decking. Spot the house from East Looe! It does stand out. The cottage itself is lovely and everything you need is provided. I had a wonderful stay. There are steps, inside the property and out, and it's located halfway up a fairly steep hill (as is much of Looe) , with the parking space a little furtRead moreher up the hill, so this may need to be taken into consideration if there are mobility issues.
