Clean, cozy and well-equipped house with enough space for four people. The way to the beaches is not too steep and not too long. We really had a very good time in Looe and definitely want to return to Cornwall!

Couldn't have asked for more

We have just spent a perfect week in 'Thrift Cottage' Everything we could have wanted or needed was provided on arrival and the cottage itself was in immaculate condition. We loved how close it was to the beach even though it was a few steps but it was well worth it. A bonus is the bakery at the end of the lane that does great pasties and cream teas

We had a wonderful time at Thrift cottage. It was spacious, comfortable, cozy and very quite. The beach was just down the stairs. And the beautiful Polperro, Talland Bay and Seaton Beach just a couple minutes drive away. Even if you want to visit Atlantic coast, like St. Ives or Newquay – it‘s only a one and a half hour/hour drive away. We travelled with friends who booked the house „Little oaks“ which was just two houses to the left of the five houses row. So that was just perfect! We would definitely come back.

Cold!

Stairs to loo between bedrooms were difficult. The radiators and tiny electric fire were not adequate for the size of the downstairs. The walks to the beaches are steep! Stick with Plaidy, Millendreath not pleasant! But, pretty cottage and decor was excellent!

Thank you for your review, we are delighted that you found the cottage to be pretty and have excellent decor. We are sorry to hear you weren't so happy with the heating or the staircase, these are not issues that have ever come up before but we will monitor the heating aspect. Unfortunately there is less we can do about the steepness of the surrounding areas!

Fabulous cottage

Delightful cottage. Very clean, Attention to detail. Spent hours admiring the painting in the living room! Great location. Family loved it. Our daughter spent hours in the summerhouse studying. Nearest beach is a short downhill walk. Coming back up takes a little longer as it's pretty steep. The cafe serves great food on the beach. Very friendly atmosphere. Dogs are only allowed on the beach. before 9am and after 6pm. Great walk in nearby woods if you have a dog. I would recommend this cottage highly. If I had to say something negative it would be you are overlooked in the back garden but overall it's near perfect. Everything worked.

Wonderful stay in beautiful cottage

The cottage is well equipped (Wifi, washing machine/dryer, dishwasher, hairdryer, ironing board - even toys for the beach) and beautifully decorated. We especially enjoyed the little quirky details (like the wallsticker). The cottage is only a few minutes away from Millendreath Beach, where you can find a nice cafe and small bar. Deck chairs, sunbeds, body boards, kayaks etc can be rented. You need to climb a few steps though to get to the beach. To get to Looe you can take the coastal path which takes between 20 and 30 min. The view is breathtaking but if you are elderly or have to push a pram it may be challenging as there are a few steep parts. There are many shops and restaurants in Looe. During the summer it is advisable to book a table beforehand as it can be busy. We loved our stay at Thrift Cottage :).

Minor problems

Good overall, but not made clear how tight the entrance to the property is and not clear where to park exactly, 9neighbour made it clear we were inconveniencing them. Heated towel rail not working and no fuses in property that matched this. Very steep path down to the nearest beach, slippery and no mention made of this in property description. Otherwise, a lovely clean and tidy well equipped cottage, just not in the nicest location (for us).

Cosy and Convenient

Excellent property for a self catering getaway. Good location, close enough to resort but far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. All fixtures and appliances are really good quality. Tastefully furnished and decorated. The summer house was an added bonus and the rear garden is lovely to sit in and enjoy a barbecue. It’s a pleasant walk along the costal path leading to Looe beach and the town and if you don’t want to walk that far there is a beach just behind the property which has a bar and food. Handy for lots of nearby picturesque harbour villages that make Cornwall what it is. A very pleasant stay!

Lovely Cottage near Looe

The booking details were exactly as advertised. The booking process was good. The Agent kept us fully up to date with things going on. On arrival it was all exactly as expected. The cottage was fully equipped and comfortable. We did have a problem with finding keys to the summer house but a quick call to the agent resolved this. The location is beautiful close to the beach and a pleasant coastal walk to Looe.

Beautiful cottage in a great location.

We have just come back from a week at Thrift Cottage with our 2 children and our dog. It was our first trip to Cornwall and we had a great time, even though the weather has somewhat been against us! The cottage was just as beautiful as in the pictures and was very clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Just a 2 or 5 min walk to the beach’s which was amazing for both the kids and the dog. There is a great cafe and gin bar on millendreath beach and would highly recommend both (depending on what time of day you go). Beautiful Looe is a 20min walk along the coastal path or a 5min drive. A 15min drive away is the gorgeous village of Polerro which is well worth a visit...if you want to taste the best fish and chips ever make sure you seek out the 3 Pilchards pub, the food, drink and service is fantastic. We would highly recommend Thrift cottage as a real home from home in a beautiful location.
