Looe Valley Cottage

Looe Valley Cottage is a two-bedroom property near Liskeard sleeping four in a king-size and twin room, with exposed beams throughout the lounge. A wood burner and Smart TV anchor the living space, and the kitchen runs to an electric range cooker, dishwasher, and washing machine.

The headline feature is the private facilities: a heated indoor swimming pool and hot tub just a short walk from the cottage, both for exclusive guest use and included in the rental price. These are not shared resort amenities - the pool is yours for the duration of the stay. The enclosed garden adds outdoor dining space for warmer evenings.

Plaidy Beach is 10km away, East Looe Beach is 10.6km, and Hannafore Beach is 11.4km. The fishing town of Looe is the nearest destination for restaurants and the harbour, with Polperro a further drive along the south coast. Bodmin Moor lies to the north for those wanting inland walking country.

Suits couples or a family of four who want private pool and hot tub access without sharing with other guests. Good for year-round breaks where the weather is unreliable. Not great for those who need to be within walking distance of a beach or town. The property does not accept dogs.

Looe itself is a working fishing town with a harbour, independent restaurants, galleries, and a shark-fishing industry based from the quay. East Looe and West Looe connect across a Victorian bridge and both have seafront options for eating. Polperro, one of the most-photographed harbour villages in Cornwall, is around 7km south-west. The property is rated 4.5 from 16 reviews, scoring 4 across cleanliness, equipment, comfort, and location.
