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.

Very good cottage in a great location
This was a brilliant little cottage right in the middle of Looe. Offloading and loading the car was no problem as you could pull up very close. The designated parking is a little distance away but that gave us no problems. The cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing stay and i was close to the restaurants and bars. Great place to stay.

Great family house in convenient and lovely central location
A fully functional clean house in central location convenient for harbour side activities, local beaches, shops and restaurants. This has it all but in quiet backstreet for a peaceful end of day. We stayed 6 or 7 times now and will be back again.
