Why they chose this property
We purchased this property in August 2016 after only viewing once. It had everything we were looking for in a holiday home. Perfect location in the heart of the woods but just a short distance from Looe and Polperro. The visitors book confirmed what we already guessed that people were choosing to return to Alice's Cottage several times a year. So we have decided to share this beautiful cottage and location with others.
What makes this property unique
Delightful old chocolate box cottage sheltered in the hamlet of Watergate, stands in a beautiful wooded valley. This idyllic spot is perfect for birdwatchers and walkers. The sound of the stream running nearby adds to the feeling of tranquility. But just minutes from beaches, shops and restaurants.
