About this property
Looe 4.6 miles. The Old Dairy is a quaint, characterful stone-built barn conversion resting in Trewidland, close to Looe in Cornwall. Welcoming and full of rural appeal, this delightful retreat is ideal for families, friends, or couples seeking a base from which to explore the beautiful landscapes, coastline, and attractions of South East Cornwall. Step inside and discover an inviting open-plan living space, where the contemporary kitchen, dining area, and sitting area come together to create a sociable setting for your stay. Begin your mornings with breakfast around the dining table before planning the day's adventures, then return in the evening to relax on the seating with a favourite programme on the TV as the crackling woodburning stove warms your feet.
The well-equipped kitchen provides the essentials for preparing home-cooked meals throughout your stay. When it's time to rest, two thoughtfully arranged bedrooms await, comprising a double and a twin, offering flexible accommodation for up to four guests. Completing the interior is a family bathroom with a bath and shower over, basin, heated towel rail, and WC, giving guests the option of a refreshing shower or a leisurely soak after a day of exploring. Outside, a picnic bench provides a space to enjoy a tipple in the sunshine. Just a short stroll away, you'll find a handy post office, cafés, shop, and pub, while the nearby Looe Valley Vineyard offers a wonderful opportunity to sample the local countryside surroundings.
The property is a short walk from a local train station, with lines running between Liskeard and Looe, ideal for tasty meals out accompanied by a tipple. Venture to Looe, a quaint fishing town often featured in the TV series Beyond Paradise and packed with shops, pubs, and restaurants, and where a picturesque harbour and sandy beaches await. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore the Tamar Valley National Landscape with its scenic walking routes, while nearby Siblyback Lake offers waterside recreation and fishing. For memorable days out, visit the Donkey Sanctuary at St Ann's Chapel, discover the fascinating history and gardens of Cotehele House, or enjoy a round at St Mellion International Resort's championship golf course.
Families will also relish a trip to the world-renowned Eden Project, while the maritime city of Plymouth is a short drive from the property and provides historic waterside attractions, theatres, restaurants, and excellent shopping within easy driving distance. Perfectly positioned for discovering coast, countryside, and Cornish heritage, The Old Dairy is a charming base for your next Cornwall escape.
Looe is Cornwall’s second largest fishing port and hence there is always a lively maritime bustle around the quay area of East Looe, which is connected to the quieter West Looe by a seven arched 19th century bridge over the River Looe. You can also catch the river taxi between East and West Looe. East Looe has narrow cobbled streets, twisting alleyways and plenty of tourist shops, whilst West Looe has a lovely outlook across the harbour. Looe’s viewpoint, Banjo Pier, can be reached from the quay and is a great spot to watch the returning fishing trawlers and look across the bay to Looe Island, which can be walked to occasionally at very low tides. The sandy Looe beach adjoins the pier and is very popular with families because of its safe shallow swimming and vast expanse of sand. There is also a great rock pool area at Hannafore that children will love. West Looe has a Heritage Centre that recently opened in the Old Sardine Factory with a climbing wall and a cafe and the delightful Kilminorth Woods have way marked walks through the majestic oak wood, rich in plant, insect and bird life. Apart from beach activities in this part of south east Cornwall, there are many mining remains on Bodmin Moor and in the Tamar Valley and much of the mining landscape has World Heritage status. This area of Cornwall has inspired writers, such as Daphne du Maurier and much of Bodmin Moor has inspired legends linked with King Arthur. There is much to explore in this beautiful part of Cornwall.
