Overview
Description
Still plenty of availability for 2026, including some peak weeks.FOUR STAR GOLD VISIT ENGLAND ACCREDITATION AWARDED FOR THE THIRD YEAR RUNNING FOR 2025/26
This beautiful, large period property is perfectly situated, right in the middle of the town, a stone's throw from the beach, harbour and the variety of quaint shops, pubs and restaurants. Curlews has recently been the subject of a major renovation and is decorated in a bright, fun and contemporary, nautical theme throughout. The property has been awarded a high level four star Visit Britain accreditation with a Gold standard award for the third year running for 2025/26.
This large Cornish stone cottage was built lates 1800’s and is spread over three floors. It is located in the heart of the picturesque fishing town of Looe, set back in a quiet square on the East of the town (the old medieval market square), between the beach, the narrow streets and harbour. You are literally on top of it all, there's no need to use the car once you arrive! One parking space is provided on the seafront, just a one-minute walk from the property.
The property offers three large bedrooms (two double bedrooms and a large twin room with full sized single beds), a large luxury shower room and an additional cloakroom. The open plan living area is equipped with a luxury fitted kitchen and integrated appliances, state of the art Optimyst real flame effect electric stove, comfortable sofas and a dining table with chairs to seat six. There is full central heating throughout the property and constant hot water. The cottage is also equipped with BT infinity ultra fast speed WiFi and has a large flat screen multi media TV with Amazon Prime Fire Stick, featuring films, music, games and much more, all included in the cost.
Great care and attention has been paid to the decorating and design of the interior. Packed with interesting nautical objects and pictures, you really will feel like you are on holiday by the sea and being very well equipped, you have everything you need for a wonderful and relaxing break at Curlews.
Some major renovations were carried out to Curlews recently, which involved revealing the original beautiful stone wall in the main double bedroom, a full makeover of this room, including new LED ceiling spotlights and USB sockets, the installation of a traditional radiator and brand new carpets throughout the first floor and both staircases.
Looe is steeped in history, being famous for its smuggling heritage. You can even see the exit of a real smuggling tunnel in the building across the square from Curlews! Legend even has it that Jesus took a trip a by boat to Looe Island with his father Joseph as part of a pilgrimage (this was featured in an episode of 'Time Team'). Find out about this and Looe's fascinating history in the town's museum (opposite Curlews).
Looe is perfectly located for exploring the joys of Cornwall (it's close to Plymouth, so easy to reach and a perfect base to explore both Cornwall and Devon), is extremely easy to reach by London from train (a direct link runs from Paddington to Liskeard, with a very pretty short train journey alongside the river on the branch line to Looe), meaning that a car is not actually necessary to enjoy a break at Curlews. The town itself is very picturesque with its old quaint streets and historic architecture, lovely sandy beach and beautiful harbour and river and it nestles in amongst some of the country's finest landscapes, slap bang in the middle of the stunning South West Coastal Path.
A summer holiday in Looe can be a delight, but this part of the country truly is beautiful any time of the year. In fact a winter break in this part of the country gives you the beauty (if not more beautiful - it is really peaceful and tranquil in the winter) without all the hustle and bustle of the summer months. Did you know that towards the end of February it gets darker a whole hour and half later than in London - reason in itself to take a winter break here!
Prices are inclusive of all linen, utilities and one allocated seafront car parking space. Well-behaved dogs are welcome (ground floor only) by appointment.
Please note: as stairs are steep and they wind, the property may not be suitable for elderly guests or those with mobility problems.

Curlews is a perfect cottage to base yourself in Looe.
By Jill on 07-Nov-2025It was great to wander into town ( 1 minute amble! ) seat and eat a croissant, have a coffee and watch people and the river. A bonus was watching filming of “ Beyond Paradise” over on the West Quay! Ate well in Looe but Curlews cottage was great. Warm and cosy and spotless. Will definitely rebook for next year.
Curlews is a lovely character cottage in the heart of Looe.
By Damian Christian Arbon on 31-Oct-2025Curlews is a lovely character cottage in the heart of Looe. It's location is perfect on a quieter pedestrianised street central to all amenities. The car park is a real bonus, only a couple of minutes walk which given the location of the cottage is excellent. The cottage is well equipped and very nicely decorated, well maintained and presented. The owner is very helpful and our deposit was returned promptly.

By Catherine Cooper on 12-Jul-2024Beautiful cottage that is very well equipped with all you could possibly need. Great location with only a 2 minute walk to one of two Co-op's and all the other shops. Beds were extremely comfortable and every where was spotlessly clean. I would definitely book again when visiting Looe
