  • One of Six stunning stone barns in a beautiful rural setting
  • Enjoy the quintessential fishing harbour of Looe
  • Just one mile from the glorious coastal path
  • Perfectly located to explore the wonders of Cornwall's South Coast and beyond
Property code: OC-43128

Set just 2 miles from the gently bobbing boats and bustling harbour of Looe, this delightful converted barn is perfect for large groups seeking a seaside escape in Cornwall. Sleeping six guests and two faithful hounds in comfort, you could soon be setting off along the coastline to discover gems such as Polperro and Polruan, or simply basking in the sunshine of pooch-approved beaches.

Single-level and spacious, the property is a wonderful combination of contemporary style and period features. The open-plan living space is a relaxing haven in which to gather for quality time, whether you are tucking into bowls of buttery popcorn in the lounge, or celebrating milestone birthdays around the family-size table. Fido will adore sprawling out in front of the wood burner-effect electric fire whilst you sizzle up something special in the kitchen, which can be enjoyed al fresco in your private seating area. The three bedrooms are thoughtfully finished for a restful night’s sleep, and the shower room will provide for refreshing showers. Outside, the beautiful garden is shared with five other properties but is large enough for you to enjoy peaceful strolls and quiet picnics.

Whilst Rover is welcome to board the ferry connecting both sides of the charming fishing village of Looe, the beach itself has a year-round dog ban. Stretch his legs instead with a breathtaking hike to Polperro, marvelling at the majestic sights and smells to be found along the 5.5-mile stretch of coast path. You’ll discover dog-friendly beaches along the way including Plaidy Beach, 4 miles away, and Hannafore Beach, 4.5 miles away, both ideal places for frolicking in the waves with your sea dog.

Absolutely loved staying at Cart horse Cottage. A really pretty spacious property considering there were 6 adult sized people staying. It has a well quipped kitchen with extra plates, cups and cutlery. Really handy having the extra cleaning products like soap, spray, dishwasher tabs. It was very cosy and warm with loads of parking near the propertyRead more. Kate was nearby should we of needed her and easy to contact. We really enjoyed our stay there. Hide

One of the Best cottages we ever rented. Very, very clean and comfortable. We felt a great hospitality and a warm welcoming by some regional specialities on the dining table. We can recommend it with 100%. The lovely garden area and quiet location allow you to relax. We will try to come again.

Lovely cottage. Plenty of space and very peaceful. It was a nice surprise to have milk, tea and scones to welcome us in arrival. We'd definitely look to stay here again in future.
