Lovely cottage in a very nice part of the town. Various shops, restaurants and pubs within 2 min walk from the front door. The property is well equipped and had everything we needed. As a family of four with two young teenagers we thoroughly enjoyed the cottage and the town of Looe!

Parking is 10 minutes walk away, but that is stated in advert, bags drop off works well, cottage is in the heart of Looe, but really quiet. Only issue was that the double bed was a bit small for us, but probably no room for a bigger one in the property.

The property was really lovely. It was very clean and comfortable. There is a parking permit allowing you to park about 10 minutes walk away near the bridge which was perfect. Peter was very helpful and friendly and made checking in very easy. The location of the property was only 1 minute walk from the beach, harbour and shops. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone who is visiting Looe.

Great Cottage that was well placed to experience all that Looe has to offer.The Kids loved being able to go into the town for the first time on their own, as the area by the cottage has no vehicles.The Cottage was well equipped and provided our needs for a family of four (Two young Children).It was even already equipped with crabbing kit and rock pool nets, both got used.

This accommodation is perfect whether you want to spend days relaxing by the beach and eating out at the many restaurants/pubs Looe has to offer or if you want to use it as a base to explore Cornwall. Sandpipers has everything you need to feel at home, spotless and heating worked a treat when it got chilly. You are 2 minute walk from East Looe Beach, the main shops and various restaurants. The car park with an allocated spot is approx 10 min walk from the house but you can do bag drop off closer to Sandpipers. Would highly recommend and we hope to return

The cottage was beautiful, everything we required was there and available.It is pristine clean and very comfortable.It is within a few yards walking distance to the beach with plenty of places to eat and explore.However it is not suitable for the less mobile person's.The car park although has a free alokated space but it is quite away from the cottage.We loved it and would happily stay again.
