Jemima Cottage

Jemima Cottage is a one-bedroom fisherman's cottage on a pedestrianised lane in the heart of East Looe, on the south Cornwall coast. It sleeps two and works well for couples looking for a compact, central base within a short walk of both the harbour and the beach.

Inside, the cottage has a double bedroom, one bathroom, and a layout set up with accessibility in mind on the ground floor. Wifi runs throughout. Dogs are welcome, which suits the coast path walks that start almost from the door. Guests have rated the property 8.7 out of 10 across 49 reviews.

Outside, the cottage sits on a quiet lane away from through traffic, within a few minutes' walk of East Looe's sandy beach - wide and flat at low tide - and the working harbour where boats land their catch. Banjo Pier, at the river mouth, is a short stroll further. The South West Coast Path runs west towards Talland Bay and east towards Plaidy and Millendreath.

East Looe itself concentrates the town's shops, cafes, chip shops and pubs along the narrow streets between the harbour and the beach. A footbridge and small ferry link across to quieter West Looe. Polperro is around four miles along the coast, and the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are each about forty minutes by car.
