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.

Liked: Location
The property is a real home from home, with everything you would ever need. Over three floors , with ground floor kitchen, first floor lounge and shower room/toilet and second floor, double bedroom and bunk beds in other bedroom. Loads of cosy and homely touches. Very near the sea front and a variety of quirky and essential shops. The host is pro active in communication leading up to the stay, and answers any questions within minutes. You won't be disappointed.

Lovely cottage just minutes from the beach and all of East Looe. The cottage is immaculate and everything seems brand new. It was the perfect lication, quiet and secluded, but close to all. Ivstayed in March, so not everything was open, but there seems to be loads to do--fishing, crabbing, the beach, and boat tours, plus amusement arcades for the littles. I highly recommend Sandpipers for the perfect lovely holiday! One caveat, the stairs in the cottage are steep, so pack your good knees and a light suitcase.

Hi Judith, thanks for taking the time to review us. Glad you liked the location, it's amazing how quiet it is in our lane when the hubbub of the beach and the high street is just around the corner! Glad the stairs were ok for you. We do warn guests in the notes that they are steep, I will review this to see if there is any more we can add, while maintaining the balance. We are both in our sixties and manage fine. Pleased you had a good holiday and hope to see you again in the future! Peter

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.
