Bird`s Nest Cottage is a traditional Cornish fisherman`s cottage located in the very heart of East Looe’s old town and is a stone`s throw from the sandy beach (at the end of the street), historic harbour and Banjo Pier. The cottage is ideally located in a quiet position on one of the town’s quaint old back streets. It has been renovated to a superior standard with everything you need for a perfect holiday. While there’s no outside space or garden, the beach is less than a minute away on foot.

Bird`s Nest is a locally managed traditional fisherman`s cottage which has undergone a total refurbishment to bring it to the very high standard that it is in today. It is arranged over three floors with a cosy feel and benefits from luxurious furnishings with a great deal of thought going into every detail to make it home from home. The use of quality bed linen and towels is included. The cottage also has broadband wi-fi. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept pets or service animals.

This traditional Cornish cottage is laid out over three floors and gives a flavour of a bygone era. We have just finished completely refurbishing this property for the season, so everything is new and clean in this beautiful cottage. Please be aware that the stairs can, for some, be a little steep and a possible struggle for more elderly and less mobile travellers.

Joining instructions are usually sent out 2 - 3 weeks before arrival. Guests can normally access the house from 4.30 pm on the first day, although we will our best to get you in well before this. We ask that your accommodation be vacated by 10.00 am on the day of departure. Unfortunately, our cleaning company dictates these times, although we will do our very best to extend these.

A busy fishing port, with a popular family beach, Looe has been a favourite holiday destination since Victorian times. East Looe is a fantastic holiday destination with wonderful coastal walks and beaches and many local cafes, restaurants and pubs. With its great road and rail links, Looe enjoys an excellent position to explore the rest of Cornwall....the Eden Project is only 45 minutes away and Port Isaac less than an hour away.

The cottage has an allocated parking space in the town’s Millpool carpark which is a 7-8 minute walk away. The town is also accessible by train and the station is a 15 minute walk from the house.

The house has the benefit of one allocated parking space in Looe`s Millpool carpark which is 7 - 8 minutes away on foot. Guests are welcome to drive into the top of Higher Chapel Street, just a few yards from the entrance, to unload and load etc.

Looe is an historic fishing village with restaurants and shops on your doorstep. The cottage is in the heart of the village, in a quiet cobbled street and is an excellent position to explore all of Cornwall and do some of the most scenic walks in the region. Transport links are excellent and the train station is 15 minutes away on foot.

    Perfect position, 2mins from beach. Huge comfortable bed. Great free parking over the bridge. Bathroom very small and difficult to manoeuvre, needs a lock too, as the door swings open everytime you try to move. Stairs are difficult to manage if you have any physical restrictions.

    The accommodation was as expected, no complaints on this aspect and was as advertised. Close proximity to the beach and restaurants. The negatives for us was the winter duvet, very heavy. The parking is approximately 15 minutes away and challenging, but guessing the parking in Looe itself presents a problem. The property was clean inside but the outside needs attention. Dirty bedroom window and the front door is in need of attention. If you are going to keep plants outside, for goodness sake keep the pots weeded. First impressions are important.

    Compact cottage in the perfect location in Looe. Well-appointed kitchen, everything you need and more, bijou sitting room on the 2nd floor, with a toilet and shower room off it. Great shower pressure. Bedroom on top floor has ample storage and large bed. Good communication from our host and the caretaker on arrival. Yards from the beach and 30 seconds from the centre of Looe. Perfect week for a couple.

    Lovely location close to beach and amenities, the property could do with some maintenance TLC. The shower leaked because sealant needs replacing in the shower tray causing water to come through the ceiling into the kitchen, the outside pipe work leaks and the front door does not feel secure

    Cottage is well described in online brochure. Stairs are steep - need care at our age! No frozen food compartment in the fridge? But an ice maker provided? Curious. Overall we had a great time in Looe - thank you.
