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.

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

The house was spotless, beautifully decorated and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Further, the service from original cottages was superb! They were friendly, polite and extremely effective at resolving two minor queries during our stay.

Fantastic place to stay, views are spectacular and accommodation is clean. Cannot fault it in any way, but some people may find the steep incline to the property challenging

Ivydene is lovely, Equipment, views, perfect. Only one complaint is the access to the property, (Car port) Just think it should be made 100% clear that the access road Shutta road is one way and is 6'3 in places. Most Medium cars will find it very tight to get to property. If not impossible! leaving all luggage and shopping to be carried up a vRead moreery steep incline and/or steep steps from the Harbour car park. As this is a 4 bed house, In my opinion families with young children and maybe grandparents would struggle unless very fit. Travel instructions need an update Barclays bank is now a clothing shop. I would recommend arriving in daylight. Alternative parking space at Mill pool car park is fine. Although car port was too small for our car it would have been nice to drop luggage off at house and park at Mill Pool. This was not possible. Once there house as I say is lovely. Hide
