The property is a real home from home, with everything you would ever need. Over three floors , with ground floor kitchen, first floor lounge and shower room/toilet and second floor, double bedroom and bunk beds in other bedroom. Loads of cosy and homely touches. Very near the sea front and a variety of quirky and essential shops. The host is pro active in communication leading up to the stay, and answers any questions within minutes. You won't be disappointed.

Lovely cottage just minutes from the beach and all of East Looe. The cottage is immaculate and everything seems brand new. It was the perfect lication, quiet and secluded, but close to all. Ivstayed in March, so not everything was open, but there seems to be loads to do--fishing, crabbing, the beach, and boat tours, plus amusement arcades for the littles. I highly recommend Sandpipers for the perfect lovely holiday! One caveat, the stairs in the cottage are steep, so pack your good knees and a light suitcase.

Great location, cute house which made good use of space could do with a little tlc in some areas, (damp in main bedroom, few holes in walls) Great range of kitchen utensils. Couldn’t find WiFi code. Stairs are very steep.

It was as advertised 'a tranquil fisherman's cottage' but i really do think that it should indicate that it is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues as both sets of stairs require extreme caution. The bathroom would benefit for having an extractor fan to remove steam etc on windy days. A welcome pack would be useful containing all of the manuals and routines. That said we enjoyed our stay and the location right in the centre was perfect.

Right in the centre of all the fishing cottages. Difficult for us to find as i was unable to download Microsoft instructions. Everything in walking distance.Small, well equipped cottage.Stairs could be difficult for young, elderly or any mobility issues as steep, curved and take up the landing directly from the lounge. Parking permit ready in cottage

A lovely cottage that was really close to the beach. We had a very comfortable stay and the cottage had all the amenities needed. It was great to have a kitchen and dining area as well as a separate lounge. Great to have free parking too . Good communication from the host prior to our stay.

We had such a wonderful stay at this lovely little cottage and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better location. Tucked away in a quiet spot but right in the heart of town, everything we needed was just a short stroll away – the beach within a minute, the harbour for crabbing, and plenty of shops, pubs, and restaurants to enjoy. It really couldn’t be more convenient, yet we still had peaceful evenings and mornings which made it feel like the best of both worlds.The cottage itself was sweetly compact, very neat and tidy, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen had plenty of utensils and cookware which made preparing meals easy, and the whole place was spotlessly clean. The beds were extremely comfortable too, which was a real treat after long days exploring the beaches and coastal paths. Having a parking space included was also a huge bonus and took away any stress of finding somewhere to leave the car.What stood out to us most was just how easy and relaxing our stay felt. Communication from the hosts was excellent, and the cottage worked perfectly for us as a family of three. We genuinely felt at home from the moment we arrived, which made it hard to leave at the end of our trip.We would absolutely love to stay here again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. The location, the comfort, and the charm of the cottage made for a brilliant holiday. If we could make one small suggestion, it would be that a washing machine would be a great addition

Beautiful Cottage With Everything at a Great Location

Cottage is very well equipped right in the middle of Looe. Easy to park to unload - and about 10-mins walk to the main car park. Nice sitting on the bench outside!

Relaxing break

Property was wothin a short walking sisto beach a town , plenty of restaurants/Pubs to dine but would advise pre booking. The property itself is small but is expected as an old fisherman cottage. Stairs are an issue, even though we are able bodied.Kitchen well equipped and overall the cottage had pretty much everything you needed.Seating at the front of cottage (Bench) looked a bit tured and required replacing , parking was good but instructions were incorrect , as there is no barrier now and no need to present the permit at the barrier to enter carpark , overall a nice stay.

Fantastic location, so close to the beach. The cottage had everything we needed. Beds were nice and comfortable. The stairs took a bit of getting used to, you really have to pay attention when using them. We would happily come and stay again in this delightful fisherman’s cottage.
