About this property

Luxurious, tranquil retreat, huge private garden with river, near beaches.

Nestled in the beautiful and ancient Kilminorth Woodland, West Looe of Cornwall. A spacious and cosy dwelling amongst almost an acre of private lawned gardens, woodland and stream. Here you can find an abundance of wildlife, we have seen heron, peregrine, buzzards, swans and deer in the garden alone. Fish for salmon and trout in the stream. Kayak over the picturesque river of West Looe. Wade in the cool stream on a hot summers day, or snooze under the shade of the apple trees. Warm yourself by the log fire, hear the trickle of the river and watch the stars in this unspoilt and protected part of Cornwall.

Shallow Pool is more than a home away from home with a touch of luxury to greet you after a woodland walk, a boat trip on the river or a day on the beach.

Visit Cornwall's charming and prettiest coastal villages nearby. Experience Cornish dining and quench your thirst in the local award winning pubs and restaurants.

Autumn break
Lovely property with good facilities. Nice welcome pack which we really needed. I’m sure it’s lovely in summer but we endured rain, storms & flooding which made enjoying the local area a challenge. Access road to property was difficult to navigate & we burst 3 tyres with small rocks which had washed down the road. Just bad luck weather wise but did affect our stay sadly I’m sure it’s lovely in nice weather!

Shallow Pool stay
We all had a fantastic stay at Shallow Pool. The property had everything we needed and more. The garden is gorgeous, with ample space for kids, grown ups and the dog. The house was modern with very comfortable furnishings. Would definitely stay again.

A most relaxing break
If you enjoy complete peace, quiet and privacy then this is the property for you. I had a pretty good idea from the listing pictures what it would be like, but the reality is just magic. Superb weather for our 5 days, and just the R&R that we all needed.

Why they chose this property

We had been looking for a property in Cornwall for over 5 years and when we saw this one, it was perfect. A perfect place for our children to explore, to get away from the hustle and bustle of London, slow down and take a breath. I think it's easy to see why we fell in love with this one! When we are back at the grindstone in London we would like others to experience all it has to offer, it would be a shame not to share it.
