Property code: OC-L10077

Just outside the tiny Cornish hamlet of Barcelona, you’ll find this small complex of pretty properties, surrounded by narrow lanes and countryside. Around 11 miles north-west, Lostwithiel is known as the ‘antiques capital’ of the county thanks to its variety of shops, markets and fairs; for a further glimpse of the past visit nearby Restormel Castle, which sits on a spur overlooking the River Fowey. Just 3 miles from your doorstep, the seaside town of Looe is home to beautiful beaches, winding lanes and the world’s first banjo-shaped harbour wall. Hop on the ferry to cross from quiet West Looe to East Looe for cafes, pubs and restaurants to suit every taste; book a boat trip to St George’s Island a mile offshore and you might see the local seals; for more animal adventures head to the Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary just outside town. Walkers will find plenty to enjoy along the South West Coast Path; the fishing harbour of Polperro – notorious for its 18th and 19th-century smugglers – is a perfect place to stop for refreshments.

Step into the light, bright, lounge/kitchen/diner and you’ll delight in its view of the pool. Turn your attention inwards, however, and you’ll find plenty more to please, including a sofa that’s large enough to stretch out on, and a well-appointed kitchen area with all the essentials for a hassle-free holiday, including a washing machine. A TV and DVD player will provide home-from-home-style entertainment for evenings indoors, and at bedtime, there are two peaceful rooms sure to induce a good night’s sleep, each conveniently close to the modern shower room which has a heated towel rail.

This single-storey holiday cottage is part of a small complex of 12 properties, set within shared gardens and well-maintained grounds. Located opposite the heated swimming pool, there’s a wooded area at the rear plus a furnished patio to one side: perfect for drying-off and drinks after your dip!

Granite henge is a lovely site and well looked after by the groundskeeper. The pool was lovely very clean and safe. The cottage was well equipped and in a very quiet area half way between Looe and Polperro. It was a nice cottage just needed things done especially the mattress!

Sort these small details out as above plus the net curtains in the bedrooms plus regrout the bathroom floor and replace the broken and cracked tiles to bring it up to a good standard
