Property code: OC-L30015

This chocolate-box cottage is nestled amongst the trees, next to a picturesque river. The property sleeps four guests and one pup, and the peaceful setting is perfect for those looking to switch off and relax. Follow the woodland footpath into Looe (2 miles), where you’ll find a wonderful selection of independent shops and dog-welcoming eateries. From the cottage, you can enjoy day trips to Polperro, Fowey, and Polruan, all within 12 miles.

The semi-detached, period cottage offers a memorable backdrop to your holiday, with gorgeous, exposed beams, slate flooring, and country-cottage decor. The lounge is the perfect snuggly spot to unwind after a long dog walk, with a sumptuous sofa and armchair to sink into, and a warming wood burner to toast your toes and paws. The pretty kitchen/diner is a joy to cook in, and has a table and chairs for enjoying family mealtimes. The two double bedrooms are decorated in calm tones with floral soft furnishings and can be found on the first floor, along with the bathroom. There is a lovely, enclosed patio to the front of the property with outdoor furniture, as well as a raised BBQ area.

After a potter around the cute shops and boutiques in Looe, head to the beach for a paddle in the sea. Looe’s main beach is a no-go for your canine friends, but just 0.5 miles from the town centre in the beautiful Hannafore Beach, which welcomes pups all year. Fido can have a good rummage in the rock pools before leading the way for walkies along the dramatic South West Coast Path. On a hot day, the shady haven of Golitha Falls National Nature Reserve (13 miles) is perfect for your canine companion; wander amongst the trees, before settling down for a picnic by the river.

Alice's Cottage is the perfect countryside retreat. We were lucky enough to meet the lovely owners who have thought of everything to make the cottage cosy, warm, comfortable, and with one of the best set of kitchen equipment I have ever seen in a holiday cottage. It was such a treat to walk to the woods with our very happy dog every morning, and Read morebe able to walk to Looe and back, along the river, without needing a car. There are some beautiful beaches and walks close by, and further afield if you want to drive. The visitor's book says it all, with so many returning guests every year. We would also love to come back one day. Thank you for everything! Hide

A lovely cottage with great walks in the forest and into Looe itself. There are a couple of walks into Looe but one of them is tide dependent, so check your tide tables. As is mentioned, it's definitely a cosy cottage which is lovely for people of my height (5'8"), but if you're a family of 6 footers you'll be treading carefully around the place!

Beautiful cottage in an idyllic location. Cottage very well equipped, comfortable and peaceful. Lovely walk to Looe down the Estuary. Country lanes in this area are very narrow so be prepared to reverse up and take it easy.

The cottage is very cosy, and in a quiet position, although the single track access is a bit challenging.The riverside walk was unusable due to the heavy rains, so had to use the car everywhere.A bit too remote for me although the cottage itself was lovely.

Unfortunately a disappointing stay. The house was not very clean on arrival the downstairs floor in particular was dirty (we had to keep socks on because of how dirty it was). House was damp (visible condensation on inside walls in particular sitting room) and smelt quite bad. No phone signal at all and wifi intermittent. I dont really mind pooRead morer wifi on holiday but be prepared for no mobile signal at all. Access to the property whilst fine from a navigation perspective is challenging as the foliage is very overgrown and car scratched going through the brambles etc. to get down the lane. Location is very peaceful but overall we would not come back. Hide
