About this property
Looe 6.3 miles. Settled in the charming village of Lanreath, just 6 miles from Looe, Cornwall, is this lovely 17th-century mid-terrace cottage, Church View Cottage. Enjoying a fantastic location near the historic Saint Marnarch’s Church, and just a short drive away from the coast, Church View Cottage is a fabulous pet-friendly dwelling for couples or a family of six. Upon arrival, you will find two off-road parking spaces along with a garage, and a delightful front patio with furniture, ideal for dining alfresco. Step into the invitingly spacious sitting room, featuring exposed timber beams, where you can look forward to curling up on the plush seating in front of the electric fire as your favourite show plays out on the Smart TV. Continue through to the beautiful country kitchen/diner, where you can whip up your favourite dishes, ready to be enjoyed over wine and good conversation. The property also benefits from an external utility which houses all your laundry facilities. Head upstairs, where you can wash away the day with a soak in the bath or freshen up in the walk-in shower in the well-appointed bathroom. When it’s time to catch your rest, choose from three tastefully decorated bedrooms, a double with basin, a twin, and a bunk room. Within the local village, you will find the well-stocked Lanreath Community Shop & Post Office for all the essentials you could need during your self-catered stay and at the top of the village is the local pub - The Tipsy Cow. For a wider selection of amenities, head to nearby Pelynt, where you will find two convenience stores, Pelynt Social Club and the Jubilee Inn, perfect for treating your loved ones to a meal out. Next stop is Polperro, where you can spend a day on the golden sands of Polperro Beach, tour the Polperro Harbour Heritage Museum, visit the charming Polperro Model Village, tuck-in to fresh seafood at Michelle’s or enjoy a sweet treat from Treleavens Luxury Cornish Ice shop. Continue onto Looe, where you can delve into history at the Old Guildhall Museum & Gaol, hike along the Coastal Path, hook your catch of the day along Banjo Pier, or enjoy a fun-filled afternoon on the beach. Further afield is Fowey, home to Fowey Aquarium, Readymoney Cove and St Catherine’s Castle. Adventure awaits at Church View Cottage.
Pelynt is a quaint Cornish settlement, and its name comes from the word for "parish" in Cornish: plw. Pelynt is a fantastic inland base for your next visit to Cornwall, surrounded by lovely scenery and within reach of the wide Bodmin Moor. Both the large fishing port town of Looe and the delightful sands of the Polperro Heritage Coast are less than four miles apart. The community has all you need for a self-catered stay, including a convenience store, a spar, and a pub (the Jubilee Inn). East Looe Beach is a popular swimming spot in Looe, and the remainder of the town is full with intriguing things to see and do, such as the pier, the riverfront, and the many restaurants and cafes. You can also learn about the area's history at the Old Guildhall Museum and Gaol. The picturesque Polperro Harbour and Polperro Harbour Heritage Museum highlight the area's rich maritime history, while the nearby Polperro Model Village provides an additional charming diversion. Explore the beautiful coastline on the South West Coast Path, stop by the Eden Project, and take a stroll across the wonderful Bodmin Moor.

We turned up half an hour before the allotted time but it gave us the opportunity to see where the cottage was before we went for a coffee. We got out to let our dog go for a quick walk and we could see the cleaner was still in the cottage. The kitchen was a a disgrace and we have photos to prove this. The cooker top was smeared and not at all clean. The cooker equally so with a baking tray inside with a puddle of grease on it. The floor hadnât been mopped and there was dust on shelves and cupboards with a sticky film that had been there for some time. We had to clean the kitchen before we were happy to cook in it. Upstairs was little better as the mirrors were all smeared and looked like they had been cleaned with a dirty cloth. The tv stand downstairs was also covered in dust and every horizontal surface was dusty and not helped with the amount of nick-knacks which had also not been dusted. The front door is a stable type but the bottom was not secured with anything as the bolt had broken and one which was missing completely. It could only be held in place by the top door. The hinge on the bottom door was loose so you had to really slam it shut. My husband did find a screwdriver and fixed this. The place also suffers from damp as there appears to be little damp course outside so rain water was held in place by the decking. Every cupboard we opened smelt musty and the area by the back door also smelt damp. I did buy a plug in room freshener to at least mask the smell. Not good when you are an asthmatic. All in all we were very disappointed with Sykes on this property and it was definitely cleaner when we left than when we arrived. Another security point. The key for the property was accessed via a key safe in the garage except the cleaner hadnât bothered to even change the code when he put the key back so as soon as I opened the garage door the key fell out.

We turned up half an hour before the allotted time but it gave us the opportunity to see where the cottage was before we went for a coffee. We got out to let our dog go for a quick walk and we could see the cleaner was still in the cottage. Well I say we could see, what we heard was a small baby crying and a man shouting expletives at someone (we think maybe another child). It was horrendous. We got in the car and went into polperro. When we can back an hour later it was quite clear that whoever is the cleaner is had spent more time swearing than cleaning. The kitchen was a a disgrace and we have photos to prove this. The cooker top was smeared and not at all clean. The cooker equally so with a baking tray inside with a puddle of grease on it.
