The Fellery

The Fellery is a two-bedroom cottage in East Looe, sleeping 4 across a double and a twin bedroom. One dog is welcome, and Saturday is the changeover day.

The lounge has an electric coal-effect fireplace - a useful focal point on cooler evenings - and the double bedroom has double-aspect windows. An allocated off-road parking space is included, a real advantage in a town where public car parks fill quickly through summer. Guests with mobility requirements should check step-free access with the provider before booking.

East Looe Beach is 900 metres on foot through the town centre - broad sand at high tide, exposed rock pools at low. Plaidy Beach, a quieter cove with its own car park, is 0.7 miles along the coast path and tends to be less crowded than the main town beach. The fish quay in Looe is a 10-to-15-minute walk, with boat trips to Looe Island - a Cornwall Wildlife Trust nature reserve 1 mile offshore where grey seals haul out - running Easter through September. Looe also has independent shops, cafés, and a branch-line rail link to Liskeard for those arriving without a car.

Best for couples or small families who want a compact fishing-town base with included parking, beach access under a mile, and a dog welcome. Less good for guests needing confirmed step-free access, or a rural retreat away from town.
