About Thrift Cottage

VISIT ENGLAND GOLD AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE

This gorgeous seaside cottage, set just yards from the South West coastal path, has a wonderful feel to it, is deceptively spacious and retains the charm of past ages whilst providing comprehensive and modern amenities.

Thrift Cottage is beautifully decorated and furnished throughout and you will feel at home from the minute you arrive, from the pretty rose arbour in the front garden to the hand painted furniture, designer soft furnishings and quirky extras like the driftwood handrails. The accommodation is arranged on two levels with open plan lounge/dining room with a Smart TV and electric wood-burner for those chilly evenings and a well equipped modern kitchen on the ground floor. A door from the dining area leads out to the good sized garden with furnished patio and BBQ and pretty summerhouse overlooking the sea. On the first floor are the master bedroom with comfortable king size bed, a good size twin bedroom and bathroom with bath and shower over. Two beaches are within 350 yards; Plaidy, a pebbly beach with many rock pools to explore and Millendreath, just down the steps - large, sandy and perfect for swimming. The Black Rock Cafe is right on the beach, you can also hire kayaks and stand up paddle boards during the Summer months. Looe town centre is 5 minutes in the car or a 20 minute walk along the coastal path which has spectacular views over Looe Bay. There is private parking for one car and free Wi-Fi.

A beautiful cottage in an ideal location for a seaside holiday in a peaceful area of Looe and from which to explore further into Cornwall. One well behaved dog welcome.

Customer reviews of Thrift Cottage

Beautiful Looe cottage two minutes from the sea.

Naomi - November 2024

It was a perfect getaway for me and my family. So clean, and oh so peaceful. Easy walk to Millendreath beach.

Sally - September 2024

What a cozy place to stay. Nothing was missing, best apartment equipment

Thorsten - July 2024

We have just spent a perfect week in 'Thrift Cottage' Everything we could have wanted or needed was provided on arrival and the cottage itself was in immaculate condition. We loved how close it was to the beach even though it was a few steps but it was well worth it. A bonus is the bakery at the end of the lane that does great pasties and cream teas.

Darren - June 2024

Very lovely cottage in a quiet location and with easy access to the beach. Loved it.

Janice - March 2024

Comfortable, clean and warm. Secure garden prefect for my dog. Excellent walking straight from the cottage.

Stephany - December 2023

We felt very comfortable as a family with a dog in this house. Everything as described. Very friendly contact with the agency. Very clean and decorated with a lot of love. We would love to come back.

Dominik - October 2023

Beautiful cottage in a great location. Spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything that you need.

Rachel - September 2023

The cottage is well equipped (Wifi, washing machine/dryer, dishwasher, hairdryer, ironing board - even toys for the beach) and beautifully decorated. The cottage is only a few minutes away from Millendreath Beach, where you can find a nice cafe and small bar.

Heike - July 2023

Great cosy cottage well placed to explore the area and a great walk into Looe. Well equipped cottage and in a lovely quiet area.

Rod - July 2023

It was a superb, spotlessly clean cottage. The bed ultra comfy, the two beaches - one, wild and glorious, the other calm, were, as advertised, simple walks away and the local dog walkers were fun. We had a celebratory supper at the Salutation Inn in Looe, which was excellent, and a lunch with fabulous views and food at the Talland Bay Hotel. Thank you for our stay in the best equipped, most welcoming and peaceful cottage

S Houseago - November 2022

Absolutely perfect cottage, very tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. Everything we needed for our weeks stay. Can’t recommend this place enough, best cottage we’ve stayed in!

John - October 2022
