Fairbank Cottage

A two-bedroom cottage in central Looe with a wood burner, sleeping 3 across a double and a single. East Looe Beach is 0.4km away. The South West Coast Path is less than 500 metres from the front door, connecting to Polperro and beyond. Looe Museum and the Sardine Factory Heritage Centre are both 0.5 miles. The Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary is 4.5 miles inland. Dog-friendly with private parking, a useful feature in Looe where spaces are scarce.

With plenty of traditionalism maintained, it’s clear that this cosy and compact cottage has been decorated to honour its history and make the very most of the small space. Step in via stable doors to find an open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner with stone-flagged flooring exposed brickwork and an overall sense of nautical charm. Both a sofa and a cushioned window seat offer a space to relax with a good book or whilst watching the Smart TV. There’s a wood burner-effect electric fire waiting to keep the room warm and inviting, as well as a compact kitchen with a handsome Belfast sink. Contemporary fixtures and fittings can be found upstairs in the shared family bathroom. The master bedroom is right here on the first floor, complete with a double bed and characterful shutter windows. Finally, a cosy single room offers space for one guest to sleep.

Whilst this property doesn't have a garden, it does benefit from a private parking space – a highly sought-after feature in busy Looe! Wander the short journey down to the beach to take in the fresh air.
