About this property

A tranquil fishermans cottage a minute from the beach with free reserved parking

Sandpipers is a 150 year old ex-fisherman's cottage ideally situated in the heart of East Looe. It is arranged over 3 floors, set in a quiet traffic free lane and only metres from Looe's sandy beach, picturesque working fishing harbour and bustling promenade, with all the town's facilities on your doorstep. Sandpipers has been extensively refurbished, including a new kitchen and wet room, whilst keeping it’s original character. It has extensive living space within as well as outside seating on a planted, open courtyard and benefits from a free reserved parking space in the Millpool carpark nearby.
The stairs are a little steep, as are all ex-fishermans cottages in Looe, but may not suit less mobile guests.

Relaxing break

Property was wothin a short walking sisto beach a town , plenty of restaurants/Pubs to dine but would advise pre booking. The property itself is small but is expected as an old fisherman cottage. Stairs are an issue, even though we are able bodied.Kitchen well equipped and overall the cottage had pretty much everything you needed.Seating at the front of cottage (Bench) looked a bit tured and required replacing , parking was good but instructions were incorrect , as there is no barrier now and no need to present the permit at the barrier to enter carpark , overall a nice stay.

Great location in the old street market area and really close to the beach. The stairs are steep but we managed by taking them slowly and carefully. Excellent responses from the owner when needed.

About the host

Hosted by Peter Corbett

Host profile image
We have been coming to holiday in Cornwall ourselves for more years than we care to remember, initially in our younger years to surf on the North coast, although if surfing is your thing the South coast has plenty to offer with the rugged Whitsand Bay only a short drive along the coast.
We visit all year round & the beauty of Looe is...its open 365 days a year!!

Why they chose this property

We just love the area, including wonderful coastal walks & impressive variety of restaurants to rival any big city right on your doorstep.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy sitting out with a bottle of wine after a lovely day's sun on the beach.
