Property code: OC-L30049

A bright and stylish coastal property perched above Looe Harbour with tranquil waterside views; this elegant townhouse is the perfect restorative retreat for extended family and group gatherings with a couple of waggy-tailed members. Stretch your paws with a saunter along the shingly shores of Hannafore Beach brimming with rockpools for exploring, then recline on the wooden deck and drink in the glistening water views below.

This beautifully presented hillside property features light-flooded rooms, large bay windows, and a crisp coastal colour palette of seafoam greens and blues. Towel down sandy pups in the entrance hall, then grab some pre-dinner snacks and rest up weary feet in the airy lounge/diner as you gaze at the serene views below. Feed your hungry hounds in the sleek shaker-style kitchen then prepare a feast for the rest of the pack or perch at the island and scroll through your latest pup portraits. Head upstairs to sniff out the cosiest nook for a plush doggy bed in the four tastefully styled bedrooms, consisting of an en-suite king-size, a twin, a bunk room, and a second king-size. After morning walkies by the harbour, throw open the patio doors and bask in the mild Cornish climate while Fido sniffs in the wind.

After exploring the selection of local pubs, and independent shops in Looe, within 200 metres, follow the South West Coast Path to nearby Polperro for a beachfront scamper and to refuel at a seaside cafe with the dog-loving locals, 4 miles. Head inland and explore the enchanting woodland trails and tumbling waterfalls of Golitha Falls, 11 miles, or venture to Padstow for a blustery boat ride with your sea-loving pup, 29 miles.

The property was five star, but there was a very big down side to this most luxurious of places to stay, the walk down into town, not far but a massive sheer hill on a road that scratched both of our cars getting to the property. I had my mother and farther in law who were slightly inferm on there feet with us, the hill walk was far to much for theRead morem. Absolutely beautiful place to stay if your young and fit, sorry to say we won't be going back to Ivydene. Thank Damage to the cars made it an expensive holiday. Hide

Third stay at Ivydene, we love this house. Spacious and nicely decorated. Great location with stunning views of the estuary below, close to shops, cafs, etc. We all felt 'fitter' by the end of the holiday as they climb up Shutta road is not for the faint hearted.

Spacious house for a family holiday with our grown up children. Had difficulty getting our Asda delivery up the very narrow road to Ivydene. Extremely comfortable beds with lovely bed linen and soft towels

A wonderful house that is ideally situated with breathtaking views across the river. The property is tastefully decorated and well stocked with everything you need. Close to town with all the amenities (shops, pubs, restaurants) but there is a steep hill to the property which you do get used to. We have had an amazing holiday, so much that we have Read morebooked again next year. Thank you Hide

We had a brilliant time at this beautiful, spacious property! We loved sitting on the deck soaking up the sun and enjoying the stunning view. Our car (Renault Modus) luckily just fit up the steep and narrow lane and into the parking space. The town centre is a short (but very steep!) walk away with a small selection of shops and plenty of tearooms Read moreand restaurants. There is a small supermarket and a stunning beach a short walk away. We also would reccomend going to Golitha falls, St. Michaels mount and Heligans from here. Hide

We go on a walking holiday every year, and this was by far the nicest accommodation we have stayed in. As walkers, the steep climb to the house was doable, but more infirm guests might want to consider this. I surveyed Shutta road, and there was no way my car (a Skoda Enyaq) was going to fit. I would suggest the largest you could get there is a Read moreFord Focus sized vehicle. However, there was an allocated parking space a few minutes walk away, as well as fast chargers for EVs. The decor and equipment in the house was excellent. A lovely kitchen, with an island, and ample crockery, pots and pans and enough dishwasher and washing machine tabs for our 4 night stay. The beds were comfy and the rooms quiet, and the bathrooms were new and clean. The TVs in the house came with good streaming services, and there was a nice stereo and PS2 (which we didn't use, but was a nice touch). Definitely recommended for active people, with great access to coastal walks and the station. Hide
