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.

Gorgeous cottage in a beautiful village
Sandpipers is a beautiful place to stay. It was neat and clean and had everything we needed. It is over 3 levels and the stairs are quite steep. The cottage is very central in the village. Peter sent clear instructions re getting the key and arranged a parking spot for the car. It was about 5-20 mins walk to the parking area.Looe is a very quaint fishing village with lots of interesting shops and a beautiful little harbour. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Sweet Sandpipers Cottage
Our stay at Sandpipers Cottage in Looe was excellent. Peter the Host is excellent to chat with, he answered all our questions. It is a cute 3 story cottage in a perfect location to explore Looe and all of Cornwall, with great Bus, Train connections. We walked along the South West Coastal Trail to neighbouring villages. Many shops and grocery stores nearby and 5 cake/pie shops. We cooked in the cottage with a fully equipped kitchen. But also eat out at wonderful restaurants and pubs. It is a perfect place for a home away from home. We enjoyed this property for a whole month. Wonderful experience. Thank you Peter. Regards Susan and David Weaver from Canada

Happy place
Looe is my happy place. The cottage was a standard fisherman's cottage and was clean, well kept and had all the things you need. Only down side is the stairs which even for able bodied people are difficult at times (carrying cups of tea) however that was advised so it is still a 5/5 from us.

Week away with hubby
Sandpipers is situated in a quiet back road of Looe.It is within easy walking distance of the beach and the lovely Salutation Inn. The cottage is lovely and comfortable with everything you need. As we are an older couple we did find the stairs slightly hard to navigate after a day of walking. Would lovecto return in the future.

Cozy Cottage
Like others we had difficulty finding luggage drop of point but was us not the instructions. Set over three floors everything was provided for our stay. Auto lights at top of each set of stairs really useful. Parking was easy to find and easy walk back through the town, approx 10mins. Location to town, restaurants, takeaway's and beach was ideal for our stay and once in the cottage was warm and cozy.

Loved the location in the centre of the town very close to pubs, shops and restaurants, and handy for the beach and coastal walks. The property had everything you could want for your stay and was very comfortable. The steep stairs could potentially be a problem for the less mobile.
