Alice's Cottage provides peace and tranquility, a perfect holiday retreat at any time of the year. Just a few steps from the West Looe River with an abundance of wildlife life. There is a pretty 45 minute walk through Kilminorth Woods beside the estuary to the lively town of Looe. Looe has a good selection of small shops in particular an excellent fresh fish shop right by the market on the quay. It has many historic buildings including smugglers pubs and some of Cornwalls finest restaurants. There is a gently shelving child friendly beach and the coast is excellent for sport fishing. A short drive away is picturesque Polperro and excellent sheltered bays at Talland, Lantivert and Lantic. The cottage is beautifully equipped to a high standard. The cottage offers accommodation over two floors and has a mixture of carpeting, slate, tile floors and rugs throughout. The oak beamed lounge has an ancient fireplace with wood burning stove providing cosines on a winter's break. The modern tiled bathroom with electric power shower over bath and has a heated towel rail.

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.
