About this property

Birds Nest Cottage Looe

Bird's Nest Cottage is a traditional Cornish fisherman's cottage located in the very heart of East Looe’s old town and is a stone's throw from the sandy beach (at the end of the street), historic harbour and Banjo Pier. The cottage is ideally located in a quiet position on one of the town’s quaint old back streets. It has been renovated to a superior standard with everything you need for a perfect holiday. While there’s no outside space or garden, the beach is less than a minute away on foot.

Bird's Nest is a locally managed traditional fisherman's cottage which has undergone a total refurbishment to bring it to the very high standard that it is in today. It is arranged over three floors with a cosy feel and benefits from luxurious furnishings with a great deal of thought going into every detail to make it home from home. The use of quality bed linen and towels is included. The cottage also has broadband wi-fi. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept pets or service animals.

This traditional Cornish cottage is laid out over three floors and gives a flavour of a bygone era. We have just finished completely refurbishing this property for the season, so everything is new and clean in this beautiful cottage. Please be aware that the stairs can, for some, be a little steep and a possible struggle for more elderly and less mobile travellers.

Joining instructions are usually sent out 2 - 3 weeks before arrival. Guests can normally access the house from 4.30 pm on the first day, although we will our best to get you in well before this. We ask that your accommodation be vacated by 10.00 am on the day of departure. Unfortunately, our cleaning company dictates these times, although we will do our very best to extend these.

The cottage is in the heart of the village, in a quiet cobbled street and is an excellent position to explore all of Cornwall and do some of the most scenic walks in the region. Transport links are excellent and the train station is 15 minutes away on foot.
