Cottage to rent in Looe, Cornwall

Accommodation details

This idyllic quayside cottage sitting on the East Looe River promises a dream holiday by the sea. 1 River View isn't only ideal due to its proximity to Looe's sandy beach, but also because everything about this property is styled to perfection. From the wooden balcony, sundowner in hand, you'll gaze out across the lucid water to pastel cottages scattered around the hillside, and feel your troubles drift away with down the river.

Fusing traditional whitewashed stone walls and exposed ceiling beams with contemporary colours and furnishings, the country-chic interior is clean, bright and inviting. Ocean blues and seaside touches fill the house, making sure you always feel like you're near the beach. The farmhouse-style kitchen is a delightful place to sit down for a family dinner, its oval table being the heart of the house.

Children will love the attic room, the perfect retreat to discuss the day's adventures. Under a quarter-mile from the town's excellent selection of independent shops, bistros and seafood restaurants, mealtime inspiration won't be lacked. The harbour town of Polperro is just 5 miles away if you fancy journeying further afield.

There's a whole host of attractions in the area, including The Monkey Sanctuary (4 miles away) and Porfell Wildlife Park (8 miles away). For a fun day out, hop aboard a glass-bottomed boat to the glorious nature reserve on Looe Island, or take a fishing trip and catch a memorable meal.
