Property code: OC-L30054

Whether you’re a couple seeking a romantic bolthole or a small family looking for a central Looe base, this stunning and oh-so-cosy cottage is certain to provide the perfect base for you. With its working fishing port and golden sanded beaches, Looe really is an optimal location for a Cornish coastal retreat. Discover the town’s nautical history at the Sardine Factory Heritage Centre or Looe Museum (both 0.5 miles), head to East Looe Beach (1 mile) for a swim in the sea or simply link up with the South West Coast Path (less than 500 metres) to enjoy mile-upon-mile of coastal scenery. Those with a young child in tow will find plenty to enjoy at the Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary (4.5 miles), Porfell Wildlife Park (7.5 miles) or Adrenaline Quarry (11.5 miles), whilst those seeking a slower-paced activity will appreciate the beauty of St Elliot House and Gardens (15.5 miles).

With plenty of traditionalism maintained, it’s clear that this cosy and compact cottage has been decorated to honour its history and make the very most of the small space. Step in via stable doors to find an open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner with stone-flagged flooring exposed brickwork and an overall sense of nautical charm. Both a sofa and a cushioned window seat offer a space to relax with a good book or whilst watching the Smart TV. There’s a wood burner-effect electric fire waiting to keep the room warm and inviting, as well as a compact kitchen with a handsome Belfast sink. Contemporary fixtures and fittings can be found upstairs in the shared family bathroom. The master bedroom is right here on the first floor, complete with a double bed and characterful shutter windows. Finally, a cosy single room offers space for one guest to sleep.

Whilst this property doesn't have a garden, it does benefit from a private parking space – a highly sought-after feature in busy Looe! Wander the short journey down to the beach to take in the fresh air.

We have just come back from a lovely weeks stay at Fairbank Cottage during October half term. We were very lucky with the late summer weather and were lucky enough to see them filming Beyond Paradise TV show by the beach front during our stay. Tid (the owner) was very friendly and on hand if we needed anything. Fairbank Cottage is ideally situatedRead more in West Looe, at the bottom of the hill, close to all amenities - with a lovely deli opposite, great pubs and restaurants nearby, and with its very own car parking space right outside the cottage which is like gold dust in Looe and was a real bonus for us. From the cottage it is just a short walk across the bridge (or take the ferry boat) to East Looe town. The cottage is very well equipped and very comfortable with nice clean bedding and very comfy mattresses and pillows, with plenty of towels and a nice shower/bathroom, everything you need to enjoy your stay, including good WiFi which kept up with our phones, iPads and sons Xbox, together with a Smart TV. Fairbank Cottage is ideally situated and is a good central base for visiting neighbouring holiday resorts. I can highly recommend Fairbank Cottage and we would definitely make a return visit. Hide

The cottage is very nice and very compact, shower is fab! Cottage was clean, the towels and bedding were exceptionally clean and fresh. The upstairs landing is very narrow at the top of the stairs but it wasn't an issue for us but it may be for someone with mobility issues. Neighbours were lovely and friendly. Nice cottage and we enjoyed our stRead moreay Hide

Excellent location with its own parking space. This mattered a lot to us as we have had bad experiences previously with parking in local car parks. The neighbours were extremely friendly and helpful as was the owner.

Fairview cottage is in a fantastic location in Looe and massively benefits from its own parking space:- a rarity in Looe. The cottage itself is small but had everything we needed for a very enjoyable weeks stay. It was very clean and nicely decorated. There are a number of shops close by that had all the staples making it very easy to get anything Read morewe had missed on our main shopping. We would happily return again in the future. Hide

Great holiday cottage for our stay! We loved our time down in Looe, the cottage is perfectly located to explore the town and the surrounding area. Pub across the road is superb, amazing home cooked food. The owner made sure we had settled in ok. Everything that you could need for a few days away!
