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.

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.

Unbeatable location in the sweetest of Cornish coastal towns. We have never stayed in anywhere so convenient! The cottage is sweetly compact and the parking being included was a real bonus.

Fantastic stay

Fantastic location, so close to the beach. The cottage had everything we needed. Beds were nice and comfortable. The stairs took a bit of getting used to, you really have to pay attention when using them. We would happily come and stay again in this delightful fisherman’s cottage.

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.
