Alice's Cottage provides peace and tranquility, a perfect holiday retreat at any time of the year. Just a few steps from the West Looe River with an abundance of wildlife life. There is a pretty 45 minute walk through Kilminorth Woods beside the estuary to the lively town of Looe. Looe has a good selection of small shops in particular an excellent fresh fish shop right by the market on the quay. It has many historic buildings including smugglers pubs and some of Cornwalls finest restaurants. There is a gently shelving child friendly beach and the coast is excellent for sport fishing. A short drive away is picturesque Polperro and excellent sheltered bays at Talland, Lantivert and Lantic. The cottage is beautifully equipped to a high standard. The cottage offers accommodation over two floors and has a mixture of carpeting, slate, tile floors and rugs throughout. The oak beamed lounge has an ancient fireplace with wood burning stove providing cosines on a winter's break. The modern tiled bathroom with electric power shower over bath and has a heated towel rail. The large airy kitchen/dinner has a range of wall and base units, electric cooker, microwave, fridge with ice compartment, washing machine and seating for four.

Typisches englisches Cottage in ruhiger Lage
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Cottage hat alles was man braucht und ist rundum gemütlich. Man sollte sich bewusst sein, das bei einem Cottage alles etwas enger ist. Dazu passt, dass auch die Zufahrt über eine sehr schmale Straße führt.

Relaxing retreat
Our 3rd stay at Alice's cottage was as good as the 1st. We love the rural location with all the wildlife and just a stones throw from the river. The quirkiness of the old cottage is fun with its slanty floor's and stairs. The kitchen is compact but with everything you need at hand. A wonderful peaceful retreat tucked away from the rest of the bustling world! We'll be back again soon!

Pleasent stay
The stay at the cottage was a perfect location for the stay. Our only criticism was the cottage could do with a spruce up as some of the interior was tired looking from paint missing in the walls the bathroom sink cupboard needs replacing due to water damage, the rugs could do with a good clean. The cottage was quite dark and need the lights on. On a plus side the beds were really comfortable.

Enjoyable stay in a quirky cottage in a great location.
The cottage was big enough for the two of us and our Westie. The layout was odd with the kitchen being on another floor, but maybe we are "nit picking" and it probably had been mentioned in the property listing. The owners supplied wood for the wood burning stove (this was a first for us) and was excellent for the cooler evenings. The location was fantastic and the weather was brilliant. We met the owners who were very friendly and nice people. This was our first time in the Looe area of Cornwall, which we enjoyed, but thought that Looe itself, was "past it's sell by date" and we thought it was scruffy and looked "uncared" for.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property in August 2016 after only viewing once. It had everything we were looking for in a holiday home. Perfect location in the heart of the woods but just a short distance from Looe and Polperro. The visitors book confirmed what we already guessed that people were choosing to return to Alice's Cottage several times a year. So we have decided to share this beautiful cottage and location with others.

What makes this property unique

Delightful old chocolate box cottage sheltered in the hamlet of Watergate, stands in a beautiful wooded valley. This idyllic spot is perfect for birdwatchers and walkers. The sound of the stream running nearby adds to the feeling of tranquility. But just minutes from beaches, shops and restaurants.
