Benefitting from far-reaching views over the river, plus many original features and plenty of room for friends and family, this dog-friendly cottage is a great base for an adventure in Looe. The South West Coast Path is easily accessible within half a mile of your doorstep for adventures walking along the Cornish coast, be it towards Fowey (10 miles) or Seaton Beach (5 miles) to see the breathtaking scenery found in this part of the country.

As you enter the property, you’re greeted by the spacious entrance hall which has plenty of space to take off your shoes and put down your bags. From here, you’ll find the living room/diner, with its large windows allowing light to flood the room, comfortable seating for all the family and a TV. With pale green walls and white furnishings, this space has a calming atmosphere, mirrored by the dining area which seats eight. The kitchen is a light, bright room with a warm feel from the natural wood. There is space for four to sit up at the breakfast bar on the kitchen island, as well as all of the modern conveniences you’ll need to cook up a storm morning, noon and night. Finishing off the first floor is a utility room and a cloakroom offering additional storage for your stay. Upstairs, one of the two king-size bedrooms has a glorious bay window with a wide sill for you to sit and soak up the views whilst the other boasts an en-suite shower room. In addition, there is a twin room and a bunk room, both of which have crisp white decor and are great for children of all ages. The final room on the second floor is the luxurious tiled bathroom with a deep bathtub which is the perfect place to unwind after a day of adventure. Outside, you’ll find a decked terrace with furniture for al fresco dining to ensure maximum enjoyment of this wonderful location.

Looe itself has so much to offer from a busy market and a great selection of independent eateries to water sports on the beach and boat trips from the harbour, all of which are within a mile of this holiday home. For a daytrip further inland, head to Bodmin Moor (19 miles) to explore the fascinating local history and rural landscapes, or be transported to another country whilst walking through the tropical biomes at the Eden Project (22 miles) which mimic the Mediterranean and rainforest environments.

The property was five star, but there was a very big down side to this most luxurious of places to stay, the walk down into town, not far but a massive sheer hill on a road that scratched both of our cars getting to the property. I had my mother and farther in law who were slightly inferm on there feet with us, the hill walk was far to much for theRead morem. Absolutely beautiful place to stay if your young and fit, sorry to say we won't be going back to Ivydene. Thank Damage to the cars made it an expensive holiday. Hide

Third stay at Ivydene, we love this house. Spacious and nicely decorated. Great location with stunning views of the estuary below, close to shops, cafs, etc. We all felt 'fitter' by the end of the holiday as they climb up Shutta road is not for the faint hearted.

The hill to the cottage is VERY steep and narrow. None of the Looe taxis will go to the house. Bear this in mind of you have elderly disabled guests in your party.

House was lovely and had everything we needed for the week for a family of 7. Yes the road up is very steep but rewarding when you get to the top, so those with older relatives will need to bear that in mind. Overall we had a very relaxing time and wouldnt hesitate to book again.

Lovely spacious and well equipped property with great views. The location could be an issue for anyone with mobility issues due to the steep access but we used a quad bike service to get luggage to and from the car park which was great. Its in a great location handy for the town and the beach.

Spacious house for a family holiday with our grown up children. Had difficulty getting our Asda delivery up the very narrow road to Ivydene. Extremely comfortable beds with lovely bed linen and soft towels

A wonderful house that is ideally situated with breathtaking views across the river. The property is tastefully decorated and well stocked with everything you need.

We had a brilliant time at this beautiful, spacious property! We loved sitting on the deck soaking up the sun and enjoying the stunning view. Our car (Renault Modus) luckily just fit up the steep and narrow lane and into the parking space. The town centre is a short (but very steep!) walk away with a small selection of shops and plenty of tearooms Read moreand restaurants. There is a small supermarket and a stunning beach a short walk away. We also would reccomend going to Golitha falls, St. Michaels mount and Heligans from here. Hide

We go on a walking holiday every year, and this was by far the nicest accommodation we have stayed in. As walkers, the steep climb to the house was doable, but more infirm guests might want to consider this. I surveyed Shutta road, and there was no way my car (a Skoda Enyaq) was going to fit. I would suggest the largest you could get there is a Read moreFord Focus sized vehicle. However, there was an allocated parking space a few minutes walk away, as well as fast chargers for EVs. The decor and equipment in the house was excellent. A lovely kitchen, with an island, and ample crockery, pots and pans and enough dishwasher and washing machine tabs for our 4 night stay. The beds were comfy and the rooms quiet, and the bathrooms were new and clean. The TVs in the house came with good streaming services, and there was a nice stereo and PS2 (which we didn't use, but was a nice touch). Definitely recommended for active people, with great access to coastal walks and the station. Hide
