Property code: OC-L00063

This charming property sits less than 50 metres from Plaidy Beach and is an idyllic romantic retreat for two. Sleeping you both in a comfortable double bedroom and with fantastic sea views from the patio, this little bungalow is the perfect place to relax and unwind. With no WiFi and limited mobile reception, you can truly switch off from the pressures of busy life and enjoy everything Looe and Millendreath have to offer, including a walk to East Beach along the South West Coast Path (1 mile) and the delightful Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary (4 miles; 2 miles on foot).

Huge windows in this open-plan property give you wonderful views of the mature garden from both the dining table and the cosy seating area. An interesting wood-panelled ceiling and neutral tones give the holiday home a nautical feel that reminds you of how close to the sea you are. Cook up a storm in the kitchen and dine al fresco on the patio, looking out to sea, or simply curl up on the armchairs with a good book before getting ready for bed. Take a refreshing shower in the en-suite shower room then snuggle into bed among peaceful decor and thoughtful furnishings.

There are so many beaches to visit in the area; try Talland Bay (6 miles) or Polperro (7 miles) where you could also visit the model village. Take a walk around Carnglaze Caverns (14 miles) and the surrounding woodland, or go kayaking, paddleboarding or fishing at Siblyback Lake (15.5 miles). The famous Eden Project (25 miles) is not to be missed with its stunning array of tropical plants and flowers; while you’re nearby, take a stroll around the grounds of the National Trust’s Lanhydrock (20.5 miles) and stop for a bite in the tea room.

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
