Holm Oak Cottage

Holm Oak Cottage is a converted coach house within Trenant Park, a five-property estate set in mature parkland near Looe. The cottage sleeps 5 across 3 bedrooms: a master with en-suite shower room, plus a twin and a single that share a family bathroom with a full-size bath. The lounge has an open fire and exposed beams, and the enclosed garden looks out over the parkland. Private parking is included. Prices from £695/week.

Plaidy Beach is 2.4km away - a quiet beach tucked below the cliffs east of Looe, accessible on foot via the coast path and less busy than the town beaches. East Looe Beach is 2.5km and Hannafore Beach 3.3km, giving three distinct coastal options within a short drive or moderate walk.

Looe town is under 2 miles away and has a working fish quay, a Blue Flag beach, independent shops along the quay, and a small aquarium. The Looe Valley Line railway connects the town to Liskeard and the mainline network. Dogs are welcome, which is useful given the parkland setting and easy access to the coast path.

Suits a family of 5 or a group wanting an estate property with open-fire character, space to walk dogs, and Looe's beaches within reach. The coach-house conversion gives more ceiling height and atmosphere than a standard terrace. The estate setting makes it less suitable for those wanting to walk out of the door into a town or village. Saturday changeover; 17 reviews rated 10/10.
