Nelsons Cottage

Nelsons Cottage is a three-bedroom double-fronted Victorian residence on a quiet sunny street in East Looe, sleeping 6 across two bathrooms. The cottage is named after a famous seal that frequented the Looe estuary for several years and is now commemorated with a statue at the harbour entrance.

Inside, the recently refurbished cottage has light and airy reception rooms alongside a spacious kitchen and dining area. Gas central heating runs through the property. The front bedrooms feature bay windows with sea views, with a further bedroom to the rear.

Outside, the property benefits from a parking space 10 yards from the cottage - a genuine advantage in East Looe where summer spaces fill quickly. East Looe Beach and the amenities of the town are a few steps away, and the South West Coast Path runs through the harbour.

East Looe itself is a working Cornish fishing town with a sheltered sandy beach and summer lifeguard cover. The harbour still lands daily catch, and charter boats run after blue shark in summer months. A Victorian bridge connects to West Looe and Hannafore, and a summer passenger ferry runs to nearby villages. The coast path leaves the harbour heading west towards Talland Bay and Polperro, or east along the cliffs to Plaidy and Whitsand Bay.
