About this property

Bird's Nest is a Fisherman's Cottage in Looe seconds from beach.

Bird's Nest Cottage is a traditional fisherman's cottage that is arranged over three floors. It is ideally located in a quiet cobbled street in the heart of Looe's old town with the beach just metres away at the end of the street (less than a minute on foot). The bustling harbour is also close by along with the town's many restaurants, cafes and shops.

The cottage is arranged over three floors with a well-equipped kitchen/dining room on the ground floor, a cosy living room on the first floor and a comfortable bedroom on the top floor. In recent years the cottage underwent a total refurbishment to bring it to the very high standard that it is in today, with a great deal of thought going into every detail to make it home from home. Once at Bird's Nest, you will not want for anything. It is a truly romantic getaway and we are sure you will have the perfect holiday.

The cottage benefits from quality bed linen and towels as well as broadband Wi-Fi. The house has an allocated parking space in Looe's Millpool carpark which is a 7 - 8 minute walk from the house. Guests are welcome to drive to the top of Higher Chapel Street in order to unload and load etc.

The historic town of Looe makes an excellent base for exploring all of Cornwall including the neighbouring villages of Polperro, Polruan and Fowey. It is also a great base for walking or just relaxing on the beach.

Please note that this is a very traditional cottage and less mobile travellers may find the stairs a little steep and narrow. Please see our picture gallery for further details.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept pets or assistance animals.

Good Location
Lovely location close to beach and amenities, the property could do with some maintenance TLC. The shower leaked because sealant needs replacing in the shower tray causing water to come through the ceiling into the kitchen, the outside pipe work leaks and the front door does not feel secure

Traditional Looe
Cottage is well described in online brochure. Stairs are steep - need care at our age! No frozen food compartment in the fridge? But an ice maker provided? Curious. Overall we had a great time in Looe - thank you.

Comfortable
Once the initial surprise of the stairs wore off it was great. Very clean, very comfortable stay. Bathroom a little small but as only me staying wasn't an issue. Ideal location for beech and town.

Fabulous location & nice home
The house was in a brilliant location - very quiet little alleyway literally one minute from the beach, the shops and the quayside. It made the holiday really easy as it was so convenient. The house was very nice, well decorated and furnished. Please note that the stairs are extremely narrow and steep and even being fit and agile, it was a little bit scary particularly when carrying luggage upstairs. Some of the details online were different to some of the communication. There is a free allocated parking space at Millpond Car Park (10-15 minutes walk from the property) on some information it said you have to pay - you don’t. There is full free WiFi despite it saying there wasn’t any on several communications so that was a bonus. The kitchen had the basics but as we love cooking there were a few things we’d like to have had (baking trays and oven dishes for example). But there was a kettle, toaster, lots of good knives, a cafetière and lots of crockery. There wasn’t a lot of room in the bathroom as the sink was huge for such a tiny space, there was no lock on the door which was a bit annoying. You kept on knocking the door open when you are at the sink. Also, no plug! The towels supplied were good though a couple of bath sheets wouldn’t have gone amiss. Everything was very well presented, decorated and very clean. On leaving we were unable to put our rubbish in the bin as it had a combination lock and there was no number provided. We would have loved a seat outside in the lane instead of the plants! Communication was pretty good though a bit slow and all the instructions were very clear. The online details need updating. We had a very nice stay and enjoyed being there. All in all it was a very lovely stay indeed.

Bird's Nest is a locally managed traditional fisherman's cottage which has undergone a total refurbishment to bring it to the very high standard that it is in today. Its very cosy and luxuriously furnished, with a great deal of thought going into every detail to make it home from home. Everything is colour co-ordinated and of the highest quality. Once at Bird's Nest you will not want for anything. Its a truly romantic getaway and we are sure you will have the perfect holiday.

Why they chose this property

A whole year was spent lovingly renovating the cottage and modernising it to a high standard. Everything you could possibly want has been thought of. The cottage is very romantic and is ideal for a couple who wants to get away from it all. The local area is superb and has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Bird's Nest is nestled in a quiet pretty cobbled street, with the beach and quay seconds away, as are the many restaurants, cafes and shops. But if you want to explore Cornwall and its attractions, Looe is an ideal base. There's no need to worry about parking as the house has an allocated parking space in Looe's Millpool carpark which is a 7 - 8 minute walk from the house. Guests are welcome to drive to the top of Higher Chapel Street in order to unload etc and the cost of parking is included. Unlimited broadband Wi-Fi is included.

What makes this property unique

This traditional Cornish cottage is laid out over three floors and gives a flavour of a bygone era. We have just finished completely refurbishing this property for the season, so everything is new and clean in this beautiful cottage. Please be aware that the stairs can, for some, be a little steep and a possible struggle for more elderly and less mobile travellers.
