Cottage Access
The location of Pendruffle Cottage is quite unique being set upon a hillside with wonderful views overlooking the East Looe river and sea inlet. The access from the main road to the cottage is well signposted via a double wooden gate through a woodland driveway with a sharp steep right hand bend leading up to the designated car parking space for Pendruffle itself. The cottage is then approached from the car park by a down gradient pathway with a hand rail for anybody with walking issues with Pendruffle being the second cottage on your left. The cottage has its own pathway with a up gradient with a few steps leading up to the ground floor patio and entrance.
To access Looe from the cottage you turn left at the bottom of Pendruffle pathway walk up the pathway until you come to some steps leading down to Barclay House driveway where you can access "St Johns Walk" which leads onto the main road which for the very first part has no footpath so care needs to be taken on this part. The downhill walk into the village centre itself only takes approximately 10 minutes. Alternatively it is a 2 minute drive for those who do not fancy the uphill walk back to the cottage.

Such a beautiful cottage, quiet and peaceful, with stunning views, makes you feel as though you are in the middle of the countryside, but is literally a 3-4 minute drive from the centre of Looe.The cottage is spotlessly clean, and contains everything you could possibly need for your holiday.Would definitely stay there again if in the area, and would highly recommend for anyone wanting a holiday in Looe or surrounding areas.

The cottage was perfect. Cosy lounge, kitchen had everything, large comfortable bed, spacious bathroom - loved the jacuzzi bath. Spotlessly clean. Fabulous views especially from the bedroom balcony. Great having a parking space. Within walking distance of Looe and the South West Coast Path. Really quiet. Such a beautiful area to explore. We hope to return.

We had a wonderful time in Looe, hiking and cycling. Pendruffle Cottage is beautifully located and we had everything we needed to enjoy our 2 weeks vacation! Contact with the owners was great, with tips where to eat etc. In short, we recommend Pendruffle Cottage if you want to explore Cornwall!

I am sorry that you couldn’t see the river which is because the trees are in full leaf and grown since we last took a photo from the bedroom balcony of the view.
On a positive note moving forward please could you recommend what you would have liked to see in the kitchen and the overall cottage to have made you stay better.
We always look to improve and are disappointed with how you personally felt about Pendruffle just being oke with an 8-10 score which is not what we are used to receiving from our guests.
Hopefully you enjoyed Cornwall and what Looe and the surrounding area had to offer you both on your stay and hope you have a safe journey home.

Very comfortable and tranquil.
Perfect for two people looking for some peace and quiet. Slept really well in a large and comfortable bed. Cottage was well located for use as a base for coastal walks during the day and an easy walk into Looe town meant that lots of different restaurants were possible for evening meals.
Highly recommended.

Hi Lorna
Thank you for you review and glad you liked Pendruffle. I am sorry you had to leave 3 Stats for the sharp right hand bend that leads to the car park and you feel it wasn’t explained in the access description to the car park. We do explain it is a sharp and steep right hand bend so all we can do is apologise that this was an issue for you but appreciate your review and feedback.
Thank you Rob for your welcome.
Pendruffle is an amazing apartment with a tremendous view, I would highly recommend. A home from home.
A short walk or drive into Looe and a fabulous base to further explore Cornwall.

The whole experience from start to finish was wonderful. An ideally located cottage, 10 minutes walk from the beautiful seaside town of Looe, and 5 minutes from train station. The host provided everything we needed for our stay, and was helpful throughout. The cottage itself in a very quiet location, ideal for a peaceful break, overlooking the Looe Valley with nothing but nature at your doorstep. Highly recommended!

Well designed holiday cottage for two, withgreat views across the river valley. The cottage was well-equipped and suited us very well.
Visitors should be aware that the property is on a hillside, and consequently access is via a number of steps. Also, pedestrian access to Looe starts on an A-road with no walkway.

We stayed for 6 days from 17th to 23rd June 2023
We had a lovely relaxing time in the cottage with everything you could need there, the bed is large and soo comfy didn’t want to get out of it !
The weather was kind to us which is unusual we always seem to pick the wrong week with the u.k weather being a bit hit and miss and we spent the week in shorts
It’s in a great location to explore surrounding areas
Just be careful on the little lane up and down to the parking space it freaked me out it’s very steep with a sharp turn but my little car managed it lol !
The owners give you a call to welcome you and are at the other end of the phone if you need them
Loved the bedroom balcony highly recommend 😍😍😍

Pendruffle Cottage in Looe for 5 Nights in September
The cottage is situated on a hill side just outside Looe town centre. It’s suitable for people without mobility problems due to an inclined pathway from the car park and steps to access the cottage. There’s a designated parking spot which is great. The driveway leading up from St Martin’s road is narrow with a steep and sharp right hand bend but take it carefully and most cars will be fine! I’d recommend driving down into Looe to avoid a walk along the busy road with no pavement. The cottage has views over the tree tops lining the valley. You can’t see the river from the cottage but the view is still nice. The cottage was clean and comfortable, well equipped and fairly spacious with three short flights of stairs leading to the kitchen and then the bedroom and bathroom. Towels and linen were provided. It has a free view tv in the lounge with Wi-Fi and Netflix (sign in yourself) which was welcome. I’d recommend this cottage to a couple wanting peace and quiet as a base to visit places such as Looe, Polperro and Mevagissy.

Das Cottage ist liebevoll eingerichtet. Man hat alles was man benötigt. Das Objekt ist höher gelegen. Um nach Looe zu gelangen, muss man ca. 300 Meter an einer stark befahrenen Straße ohne Fußgängerweg gehen.

Wir waren fast 3 Wochen in Pendruffle Cottage in Looe und haben von hier diverse Wanderungen auf dem South West Coast Path unternommen, sind in den Mooren gewandert und haben die asehenswürdigkeiten von Cornwall gesehen.. Am Abend ein Pint oder ein Glas Wei bei Yamas in der Sonne genossen und die fantastische Küche der Sardine Factory oder Xamas genossen oder auch die örtlichen Spezialitäten aus dem Meer selbst zubereitet. Cornwall, Looe und auch Pendruffle Cottge sind immer eine Reise wert. Wir sind begeistert.Die Leite in Cornwall sind unglaublich freundlich und hilsbereit, wunderbar.
Wir sind Selbstversorger und haben alles vorgefunden, was wir brauchen. Sehr gute Ausstattung! Das Doppelbett ist sehr breit und super bequem. Im Wohnzimmer konnten wir es uns abends gemütlich machen. Die Aussicht von der Terrasse ist toll.

Pendruffel Cottage ist ein wunderschön, gepflegtes Cottage in ruhiger Lage mit wunderbarer Aussicht ins Grüne. Die Wohnung ist sehr gut ausgestattet und bietet allen Comfort, wie zu hause auch. Besonders die voll augestattete Küche hat mich gefreut! Zu Fuß oder mit dem Auto ist man in wenigen Minuten in der Stadt und kann frischen Fisch kaufen oder in einer der sehr guten Bäckereien einkaufen. Die Küste läd ein, schöne Wanderungen auf dem West Coast Path zu machen oder die Gegend zu erkunden. Insgesamt sollte aber jeder der kommt, gut zu Fuß sein, denn das Cottage liegt am Hang und es gibt viele Treppen. Dafür wird jeder mit wunderschönen Aussichten und Sonnenuntergängen über dem Fluß belohnt. Danke für die schönen zwei Wochen im Cottage und wir kommen gerne wieder.

Your review translated
Perfect Relaxation!
Pendruffel Cottage is a beautifully maintained cottage in a quiet location with wonderful views of the countryside. The apartment is very well equipped and offers all the comforts of home. I was particularly pleased with the fully equipped kitchen! You can reach the city in just a few minutes on foot or by car and can buy fresh fish or shop in one of the very good bakeries. The coast invites you to take beautiful hikes on the West Coast Path or explore the area. Overall, everyone who comes should be able to walk well, because the cottage is on a slope and there are a lot of stairs. Everyone is rewarded with beautiful views and sunsets over the river. Thank you for the lovely two weeks in the cottage and we would love to come back.
Fantastic stay - great property, clean and well equipped perfect for 2 adults and our dog. Looe was great and a visit to Polperro is a must. Would definitely recommend

I could not recommend this place enough.
The accommodation is set out well and well appointed.
Everything you might need and more has been provided down to Tassimo coffee.
Looe is a fantastic place to be and the accommodation provides great access just a 10 minute walk away. Ok, the walk is uphill with quite a few steps but it gets the blood pumping.
If I visit this part of Cornwall again I’d definitely look to booking this property.

About the host
Hosted by Rob
My wife and I bought this cottage as our Cornish hideaway. We loved it so much we decided to share its uniqueness with other couples who wanted something that little bit different.
Why they chose this property
We stayed in this actual cottage years ago when it was part of the hotel. When the cottages were subsequently separated from the hotel and came up for sale we liked it so much we bought it.
It is in a unique spot away from the hustle and bustle of Looe but only a matter of minutes away. With its stunning views overlooking the estuary that flows into the sea and its amazing sunsets it offers a real feeling of tranquillity and calm.
What makes this property unique
With it's unique layout over 3 floors, that all flow into one another and it's beautiful views you cant help but feel relaxed.
The ground floor terrace or bedroom balcony is where you can enjoy an alfresco breakfast and a romantic evening glass of wine while watching the summer sun set over the Looe valley/river.
