  • 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 South Cornwall and beyond
Property code: OC-43126

Sniff the sea air and prepare for a coastal adventure in beautiful Cornwall, choosing this delightful converted barn as your base. Set just 2 miles from the lively port town of Looe, the property sleeps four guests and one four-pawed pal, making this the ideal choice for families and friendship groups alike. Wake up to the distant cry of seagulls and sip your morning coffee with countryside views, preparing for a day of scenic walks, beachside scrambles, and plenty of pit stops for delicious cream teas and locally crafted ice cream.

Single-level and brimming with original features, the property is part of a complex of six enchanting barns, but you are guaranteed privacy. Step inside to find a welcoming living space that’s decorated with fresh neutral tones and stylishly furnished for maximum comfort. Whip up hearty suppers in the kitchen and uncork a bottle of good wine before settling down at the table, slipping Rover a few tasty morsels as you dine. Cosy sofas are just the ticket for relaxing evenings, but you’ll soon be enticed to curl up in one of the restful bedrooms. A generous shower room completes the property, and you’ll have exclusive use of an outside seating area and shared access to the picturesque garden.

Browse the pretty streets of Looe at leisure, hopping aboard the ferry that connects the two sides of the harbour town or stopping for lunch in one of the welcoming eateries. The beach has a year-round dog ban, but the sparkling shorelines of Plaidy Beach, 4 miles away and Hannafore Beach, 4.5 miles away, welcome furry visitors whatever the season. Polperro, 9 miles away, is a wonderful place to spend an afternoon, where you’ll be able to visit the heritage museum and learn about the village’s surprisingly dark history of smuggling.

The cottage we stayed in was very comfortable, clean and very well equipped. The gardens were well maintained and the view of Looe harbour was an added bonus. The provision of milk, tea bags, cream tea and bottle of apple juice was a really nice thought.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Forge. The cottage was clean, comfortable and very well equipped and felt cosy and warm on a cool April evening. The cottages are situated in lovely grounds in a quiet countryside location. Situated just outside Looe, within easy reach of great places to visit and eat. Would highly recommend Bucklawren cottagesRead more. Hide

What a beautiful cottage set in a lovely location. Our family of four had a lovely time at the cottage, it was an 8 minute car journey to the town of Looe and was walkable to the nearest beach but a bit far for our 5 year old to manage. The cottage had everything we needed and the owners were very warm and welcoming. The gardens are also beautiful Read moreand the children made friends with the children staying in the other cottages. Would definitely book again if we come back to Looe Hide

The cottage met all our expectations. It is situated in lovely quiet spot, just on the outskirts of Looe. It was spotlessly clean with a well equipped kitchen , modern bathroom with a powerful shower. The living space is comfortable and welcoming.
