Character cottage in peaceful location, near the beach.

Brilliant location but cottage is tired and needs updating. Clean and tidy, beds comfy but need black out blinds or curtains and the shower needs changing. Sofas are stained and need replacing. Kitchen has everything you need and more!! No outside sitting area apart from front door small table and chairs. The cottages either side look much more appealing. We would stay again but it would need some changes.

We were lucky to visit Cornwall during the June heatwave hitting 30 degrees some days. The location of the cottage is lovely in a very quiet area and just a 5 min short walk to Millendreath Beach with a lovely beach bar, cafe and water sport hire. We came to the beach mostly at the end of the day, after exploring the area, to eat in the cafe (highly recommend) or just have a drink and watch the sun setting. A picturesque 25 min cliff top walk took you into Looe or a short drive away if you prefer. The cottage is nice with a lovely renovated modern kitchen. However the upstairs is a little dated and with 80’s pine furniture and thin nylon curtains and peeling paint in places. The outside back area which forms the view from the back door, the kitchen and the main bedroom window was disappointing a really neglected steep sloping area where grass and weeds have just been left to go wild. The front of the cottage is well maintained but unfortunately we couldn’t sit on the patio area due to the old wooden patio set!! The weather was amazing and we would have loved to have been able to sit out comfortably. Fortunately my sister was staying at Rose Cottage next door, we paid the same for the week and we couldn’t believe the difference. The cottage was much bigger better decorated and had an amazing landscaped tiered decking area at the back with 2 patio areas to sit out with lovely views and a 3rd at the front). Bay Cottage is ok in a lovely area but in need of a little TLC and the attention of a good garden designer!! I advise taking a look at Rose Cottage next door before booking. However we did have a lovely week and it is a nice cottage.

The property was very good, all my family were very happy and would like to go there again in the future. So I will be booking there again

we had a great time in the bay cottage better than ecspect we always stay in a b&b but tis is much better a nice place too stay lovely view really a nice place and close to the town center and harbor because we love the to fish and had a great catch and lovely neigbers we still have contact we will come back next year thanks for the corect service many thanks greetings Dirk

Bay cottage is very well equipped with 2 parking bays (only 1 bathroom not 2 as detailed), I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful location close to Looe (Car required). The WI-FI is an added bonus, but no mobile phone reception (orange) which could prove a problem to some people, also no land line, so if you need to be in continuous contact with the outside world perhaps this is not the ideal place for you. However, in my opinion the lack of phone reception was easily compensated by the properties other facilities.
