  • A beautifully refurbished cottage providing a romantic coastal retreat for a couple at any time of year
  • In the beating heart of Looe in a traffic-free lane just moments from the harbour and beach
  • Featuring original exposed timber beams, a vaulted ceiling and a cosy feature fire
Property code: OC-S27982

Nestled on a quiet, car-free lane just off the bustling harbour, this former fisherman’s cottage for two offers a stylish combination of old meets new in the heart of picturesque Looe.

Stepping inside through the lovely stable door, you'll find a contemporary kitchen/diner that welcomes you with open arms. The kitchen is fully equipped for your culinary escapades, with an intimate dining table set in a light-filled corner. Ascending to the first floor, you'll discover a cosy living room, complete with an electric fireplace and a Smart TV, creating the perfect backdrop for moments of relaxation. On this level, a compact yet well-designed shower room awaits. Climb another set of stairs, and you'll find the bright and airy bedroom with exposed beams and a vaulted ceiling that adds to its charm. While there's no dedicated outdoor space, the bustling harbour and the inviting beach are moments from your doorstep. Begin your day with a freshly brewed coffee and a pastry from a local bakery, then make your way to the quayside to immerse yourself in the maritime hustle and bustle.

Perched on Cornwall's scenic south coast, Looe is celebrated for its pretty winding streets, historic harbour, and vibrant coastal atmosphere. At the town's edge lies a sweeping sandy beach with rugged rocky outcrops on one side and the famed Banjo Pier on the other. Looe exudes a warm and welcoming ambience, particularly at New Year, when flocks of visitors come to join the fancy dress street party. For those with an appetite for adventure, the Looe to Polperro coast path offers a captivating half-day trek and the convenience of a bus ride back. Alternatively, explore nearby attractions like The Monkey Sanctuary (4 miles), the thrill-packed Adrenalin Quarry (7 miles), and the splendid Lanhydrock House and Garden (16.5 miles). Don't miss the world-famous Eden Project (22 miles) that houses incredible landscapes of tropical plant life in its towering biomes.

Sanderling Cottage is ideal for two people and a dog - clean and comfortable! The staircases are narrow and steep but there are railings to hold onto. It is central to Looe town, the quay and the main beach, but tucked away in a quiet location.

Excellent location for Looes amenities. Well equipped kitchen, has everything you need. Stayed in winter, central heating works well. Could do with a parking space access is difficult on arrival and leaving with cases etc. Owner of the property very approachable if any problems.
