Sun Cottage

About this property

Sun Cottage is a delightful gem, tucked away in the heart of Looe, Cornwall. This three-bedroom dwelling is surrounded by all the local amenities you could need, whilst resting a short walk from the beach, making it a wonderful base for a family getaway to the coastline. Park up in the designated space, sought-after in such a central position, before reaching your new abode, spanning across three levels. Be welcomed by the sitting room, a charming space with original beams overhead, plush sofas to sink into, and a woodburning stove to light on cooler evenings, whilst the kitchen/diner is fully-equipped with all the essentials for a self-catered break; prepare meals to be enjoyed together around the dining table, or if the weather allows, take advantage of your private and fully enclosed courtyard, a haven for alfresco dining and socialising. Complete your nightly routine in the ground-floor bathroom, featuring an indulgent roll-top bath, before heading upstairs to discover three welcoming bedrooms: a second-floor super-king-size, a double with an en-suite shower room, and a twin. Once you’re ready to explore, the delights of the town are a stroll away, with a wide selection of shops, pubs, restaurants, and cafés to make the most of. Here, you can also explore the town’s fascinating history, visit the museum, tuck into the delicious local fare, take a leisurely boat trip to catch a glimpse of some of the local wildlife, shop for quirky souvenirs or find your way to one of the many stunning beaches. Continue your exploration on to Polperro, a quaint fishing village with a plethora of character, small shops, eateries, and a selection of stunning coves to explore. Alternatively, take a short drive to Seaton for a tranquil beach walk, hike through Seaton Valley Countryside Park, and a spot of lunch near the riverfront, before returning home to Sun Cottage, your perfect base for exploring Cornwall. You can look forward to a holiday full of adventure at Sun Cottage.

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.
