  • A beautifully refurbished cottage providing a romantic coastal retreat for a couple at any time of year
  • In the beating heart of Looe in a traffic-free lane just moments from the harbour and beach
  • Featuring original exposed timber beams, a vaulted ceiling and a cosy feature fire
Property code: OC-S27982

Located along a quiet, pedestrian lane just off the bustling harbour, this characterful, pet-friendly cottage provides a stylish, cosy retreat for two in the heart of Looe, complete with a warming electric fire in the lounge for toasting your paws after a day of West Country adventures.

Entering this traditional fisherman’s cottage, you’re welcomed by a bright kitchen/diner, fully equipped for relaxed meals at home. The stable door at the entrance opens to let the fresh sea breeze flow through, bringing the seaside ambience inside. Up the stairs, a cosy living room awaits with a Smart TV and the electric fire that’s sure to attract heat-seeking hounds. On the same floor, you’ll find a compact but stylish shower room. The top floor reveals a lovely bedroom with exposed beams and a vaulted ceiling, creating an airy, comfortable retreat at the end of the day. Although there’s no private outdoor space, the waterfront and harbour are just steps away for fresh-air walks and seaside mornings with your canine companion. Pay and display parking in nearby public car parks.

This picturesque fishing village, set on Cornwall''s stunning south coast, is a favourite among dog-owning holidaymakers with narrow, winding streets, colourful buildings, historic harbour, and ample dog-friendly spots to explore. A short walk leads you to the main sandy beach, bordered by rocks and Banjo Pier. Dogs are not allowed on central Looe Beach, but they are welcome all year at Hannafore Beach in West Looe, just over a mile by road. You can cut that journey in half by taking the foot ferry across the river, with four-legged friends welcome onboard. Looe is filled with pet-positive cafes and pubs where you can refuel before setting out along the coastal path to Polperro (5 miles), a half-day adventure with plenty of interesting sights, sounds and smells for inquisitive hounds to investigate along the way.

Sanderling Cottage is ideal for two people and a dog - clean and comfortable! The staircases are narrow and steep but there are railings to hold onto. It is central to Looe town, the quay and the main beach, but tucked away in a quiet location.

Excellent location for Looes amenities. Well equipped kitchen, has everything you need. Stayed in winter, central heating works well. Could do with a parking space access is difficult on arrival and leaving with cases etc. Owner of the property very approachable if any problems.

We spent a week in Looe at Sandling cottage, what a lovely place and well furnished with a nice sized bedroom and comfy bed in a beautiful narrow Cornish street. A perfect base to use for visiting the area. Would highly recommend.

Yeah it was good and a bit quirky lol. Mind those staircases, they are very steep. Very good location for eateries and very close to the beach.
