Meadowsweet

This hillside cottage is ideal for a small family or group of friends to enjoy a relaxing break in Cornwall. It is set in an elevated position in the seaside town of Looe on a steep hillside overlooking the town and the river. The town is a pleasant and lively place with lots of activity centred on the river that divides the town in two. There’s a busy harbour and plenty of opportunity for hopping aboard a sightseeing boat trip or hiring kayaks and taking to the water. The high street features a good range of interesting shops to browse and plenty of friendly local pubs and quality restaurants. Unsurprisingly, seafood features highly on the menu here and there is a local fishing fleet working from the harbour. Walkers can stride out along the beautiful South West Coast Path and beach lovers will be spoilt for choice. For a day out, don’t miss a visit to the wonderful Eden Project 21 miles away, or pop along the coast to Polperro, a pretty little fishing village 5 miles away.

The cottage is laid out on two levels and there are superb views from many of the rooms. The cosy living room has an especially impressive vista with a large bay window angled just right. Guests will likely find themselves leaning back on the plush seating and gazing out at the activity on the water. The compact kitchen has a retro-style hatch through to the dining room. This bright and pleasant space is set with a charming table and chairs and glass doors opening to the deck beyond. The ground floor also houses a utility space and a cloakroom WC. Upstairs, guests will find two welcoming bedrooms, both with fantastic views. Both are king-size rooms with the option of configuring one of them as a twin if requested. The family bathroom has a walk-in shower and a heated towel rail. There is also an additional separate cloakroom WC upstairs.

Outside is a fully enclosed fenced garden set across several levels including two decks with seating options for four to the front of the house. This is the perfect place to enjoy meals or drinks alfresco and is especially beautiful as dusk falls and the lights of the town start to twinkle on the water below. The lower lawn is set with a couple of sun-loungers and there is a charcoal BBQ supplied for guests to use.
