LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS 2022 WEEK / SHORT BREAK £500 - MESSAGE OWNER FOR DETAILS
Curlews has recently been awarded Visit England 4 Star Gold accreditation. This lovely period cottage, circa 16th century, is located close to the beach, harbour and all of the town's quaint shops and restaurants. Allocated parking is included in the nearby private seafront car par.
The property has recently been the subject of a major refurbishment, which includes a complete ground floor renovation with luxury fitted kitchen and a completely re-fitted luxury shower room. The property is decorated in a bright, fun contemporary nautical theme throughout.
This large Cornish stone cottage is spread over three floors and located in the heart of the fishing town of Looe, set back in a quiet square on the East of the town (the old medieval market square). It nestles between the beach, the quaint streets and the harbour. You are literally on top of it all, there's no need to use the car once you arrive! One parking space is provided on the seafront, just a one minute walk from the property.
The property offers 3 large bedrooms (two double rooms and a large twin bedroom with full-sized single beds), a large luxury shower room and an additional cloakroom. The open-plan living area is equipped with a luxury fitted kitchen and integrated appliances, state-of-the-art Optimyst real flame-effect electric stove, comfortable sofas and a dining table with chairs to seat six. There is full central heating throughout the property and constant hot water. The cottage is also equipped with BT infinity ultra-fast speed Wi-Fi and has a large flat screen multi-media TV with Amazon Video, featuring films, music, games and much more, which are all included in the cost.
Great care and attention has been paid to the decorating and design of the interior. Packed with interesting nautical objects and pictures, you really will feel like you are on holiday by the sea and being very well equipped, you should have everything you need for a wonderful and relaxing break at Curlews.
Looe is steeped in history, being famous for its smuggling heritage. You can even see the exit of a real smuggling tunnel in the building across the square from Curlews! Legend even has it that Jesus took a trip a by boat to Looe Island with his father Joseph as part of a pilgrimage (this was featured in an episode of 'Time Team'). Find out about this and Looe's fascinating history in the town's museum (opposite Curlews).
Looe is perfectly located for exploring the joys of Cornwall (its close to Plymouth, so easy to reach and a perfect base to explore both Cornwall and Devon), is extremely easy to reach by London from train (a direct link runs from Paddington to Liskeard, with a very pretty short train journey alongside the river on the branch line to Looe), meaning that a car is not actually necessary to enjoy a break at Curlews. The town itself is very picturesque with its old quaint streets and historic architecture, lovely sandy beach and beautiful harbour and river and it nestles in amongst some of the country's finest landscapes, slap bang in the middle of the stunning South West Coastal Path.
A summer holiday in Looe can be a delight, but this part of the country truly is beautiful any time of the year. In fact a winter break in this part of the country gives you the beauty (if not more beautiful - it is really peaceful and tranquil in the winter) without all the hustle and bustle of the summer months. Did you know that towards the end of February it gets darker a whole hour and half later than in London - reason in itself to take a winter break here!
Prices are inclusive of all linen, utilities and seafront parking. Well-behaved dogs are welcome (ground floor only) by appointment with a £40 surcharge. Due to two steep staircases this property is unsuitable for the elderly and infirm or those with mobility issues.
There is a £200 fully refundable damages deposit applied to all bookings.

Traveling with kids? Consider Polperro Model Village and Adrenalin Quarry. Discover the area's water adventures with scuba diving and sailing nearby, or enjoy the great outdoors with horse riding and ecotours.
