Perfect location

Brilliant location but cottage is tired and needs updating. Clean and tidy, beds comfy but need black out blinds or curtains and the shower needs changing. Sofas are stained and need replacing. Kitchen has everything you need and more!! No outside sitting area apart from front door small table and chairs. The cottages either side look much more appealing. We would stay again but it would need some changes.

Lovely quiet area with a beach few minutes walk. Cottage nice but needs a little TLC

We were lucky to visit Cornwall during the June heatwave hitting 30 degrees some days. The location of the cottage is lovely in a very quiet area and just a 5 min short walk to Millendreath Beach with a lovely beach bar, cafe and water sport hire. We came to the beach mostly at the end of the day, after exploring the area, to eat in the cafe (highly recommend) or just have a drink and watch the sun setting. A picturesque 25 min cliff top walk took you into Looe or a short drive away if you prefer. The cottage is nice with a lovely renovated modern kitchen. However the upstairs is a little dated and with 80’s pine furniture and thin nylon curtains and peeling paint in places. The outside back area which forms the view from the back door, the kitchen and the main bedroom window was disappointing a really neglected steep sloping area where grass and weeds have just been left to go wild. The front of the cottage is well maintained but unfortunately we couldn’t sit on the patio area due to the old wooden patio set!! The weather was amazing and we would have loved to have been able to sit out comfortably. Fortunately my sister was staying at Rose Cottage next door, we paid the same for the week and we couldn’t believe the difference. The cottage was much bigger better decorated and had an amazing landscaped tiered decking area at the back with 2 patio areas to sit out with lovely views and a 3rd at the front). Bay Cottage is ok in a lovely area but in need of a little TLC and the attention of a good garden designer!! I advise taking a look at Rose Cottage next door before booking. However we did have a lovely week and it is a nice cottage.

Urlaub in einem netten kleinen Cottage

Nett, sehr sauber, gut ausgestattet. Eine schöne Sitzgelegenheit vor dem Haus, allerdings keine dahinter ;-) Abzüge muss man leider für das Badezimmer machen. Recht klein, sehr einfach, sehr wenig Ablagemöglichkeiten und das warme Wasser tröpfelt leider nur aus dem Duschkopf. Auch fanden während unseres Aufenthaltes Bauarbeiten auf dem Nachbargrundstück statt (Luftlinie 5m von der Terrasse entfernt). Zwar scheinen englische Bauarbeiter ein wenig später mit der Arbeit anzufangen, aber sie fangen an - und brauchen dafür die üblichen Maschinen ;-)

Gemütliches und komfortables Cottage

Sehr schönes Cottage, nur wenige Schritte zur Küste und gut ausgestattet. Wir konnten das Meer rauschen hören und vom Garten aus sehen. Es war ausserdem angenehm ruhig. Wir würden es wieder buchen.

Bay Cottage, near Looe

Bay cottage is very well equipped with 2 parking bays (only 1 bathroom not 2 as detailed), I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful location close to Looe (Car required). The WI-FI is an added bonus, but no mobile phone reception (orange) which could prove a problem to some people, also no land line, so if you need to be in continuous contact with the outside world perhaps this is not the ideal place for you. However, in my opinion the lack of phone reception was easily compensated by the properties other facilities.
