The Trefanny Inn

The Trefanny Inn is a one-bedroom cottage near Duloe sleeping 2 in a double room with 1 bathroom. Inside, the wood burner is the focal point of the living space. WiFi is included, and the enclosed garden is available for outdoor use. The property is dog-friendly for up to 2 dogs. Check parking arrangements with the owners before you book.

Talland Bay, a sheltered south-facing cove with a cafe above the beach, is 3.7 miles to the south-east. East Looe Beach is 4 miles and accessible by car or the local bus route through Looe. Looe itself is a working fishing town with a daily fish market on the quayside, and the RSPB Looe Island reserve (grey seals and nesting seabirds) sits just offshore and runs seasonal boat trips.

Duloe village is quiet, with a pub (the Duloe Inn) within walking distance and the stone circle at Duloe - one of the smallest but best-preserved Bronze Age rings in Cornwall - accessible on foot. Polperro, a fishing village with lanes too narrow for most vehicles, is around 6.2 miles along the coast and is one of the most-visited spots in south Cornwall.

Good for couples wanting a quiet countryside base with driving access to Looe, Talland Bay, and Polperro. The wood burner suits autumn and winter breaks. Less good for guests without a car - Duloe has limited public transport, and the nearest beach requires driving.
