  • "We really enjoyed our stay in Skylarks."

    The beds and sofas are very comfortable, the property is well thought out, and very clean. Janice left a generous and delicious welcome pack. We had an issue with hot water, which is easy to resolve when you know how. The table mats are in a drawer under the table. Many dogs could escape from the garden, but there is an enclosed courtyard that is secure. Overall, we would definitely recommend Skylarks - a wonderful property.

    In a secluded spot with beautiful views, but close to Looe and plenty of activities in the area. Lovely ground and hot tub. Beds very comfortable. We had one small issue with hot water which was sorted very quickly. We really enjoyed our stay and heartily recommend for parents with young children!

  • "Beautiful cottage in a quiet secluded countryside location but close to Looe."

    Lovely modern kitchen, comfy lounge, downstairs shower room, 3 good size bedrooms. Very well appointed with everything you require supplied. We very gratefully accepted the offer of a baby high chair & travel cot. Hot tub was amazing. Great place for a dog with local dog walks. Private off road parking. Supermarkets at Liskeard only 15 min drive. Millendreath beach a short drive away highly recommended. A very relaxing holiday made special by our stay at Skylarks & the owners are very kind & helpful.

  • "Had a great stay at the cottage it has everything that you need."

    The hot tub is a great and very welcome after long walks. The only thing that we found was missing was a BBQ which would have been a nice touch, especially with so many farm shops with great produce. Overall would l recommend this cottage for anyone wishing to stay close to Looe.

  • "What a delightful cottage - we really enjoyed our stay and the hot tub was a real treat."

    We travelled along the coast to lots of beaches and harbour towns, including Looe and Polperro. As we had warmish weather we enjoyed sea swimming every day, especially at Talland Bay. Would recommend a visit to Skylarks for those keen to explore this beautiful area. Christine & Bob

    The views are stunning and so peaceful. The house is very comfortable, beautifully decorated and well equipped. We took 2 Labradors with us and even they were catered for with their own welcome pack of bed, bowl and treats etc. They both appreciated that very much! Everything was just perfect and we had some much needed quality time as a family. Very enjoyable getaway.

  • "This place absolutely blew us away from the minute we opened the door we were like children running around choosing our bedrooms and jumping on the beds with excitement."

    We were 2 couples 40s & 50s wanting a nice relaxing break away with the dog and that's exactly what we got. Also celebrating a big birthday made it even more special. The cottage is beautifully decorated to the very high standard , super spacious and has a real cosy, home from home feel to it. You can tell its recently been done up as everything is so fresh and new. The owner has obviously put a lot of time, thought and effort into making Skylarks the perfect holiday home. The downstairs bathroom is very stylish and the 2 bedrooms we used were comfy with plenty of hanging space which also included a dressing gown each and nice thick quality towels. The private courtyard is a perfect safe space for the dog - he loved it and even made friends with the dog next door even if it was only through the upstairs window where they would spend hours just looking at each other. The hot tub was a nice touch - me and my friend spent hours in there chatting even when it rained . Such a calm , tranquil space. If you want a nice peaceful break exploring Looe and surrounding area this cottage gives you all that and more. Dont be put off by lack of reviews. For walkers wanting to walk into Looe head for Millendreath (theres a lovely cafe on the beach) . Go to Tregoad caravan park turn right follow road. It is very up and down with steps and hills but a lovely walk. Janice the owner was very friendly and accommodating nothing was to much trouble and she was always on hand with any questions. Thank you , we had such a lovely stay . The cottage is by far the nicest place we have ever stayed. Hopefully see you again whenever that may be.

About the location

LOOE

Polperro 5 miles.

Looe is Cornwall’s second largest fishing port and hence there is always a lively maritime bustle around the quay area of East Looe, which is connected to the quieter West Looe by a seven arched 19th century bridge over the River Looe. You can also catch the river taxi between East and West Looe. East Looe has narrow cobbled streets, twisting alleyways and plenty of tourist shops, whilst West Looe has a lovely outlook across the harbour. Looe’s viewpoint, Banjo Pier, can be reached from the quay and is a great spot to watch the returning fishing trawlers and look across the bay to Looe Island, which can be walked to occasionally at very low tides. The sandy Looe beach adjoins the pier and is very popular with families because of its safe shallow swimming and vast expanse of sand. There is also a great rock pool area at Hannafore that children will love. West Looe has a Heritage Centre that recently opened in the Old Sardine Factory with a climbing wall and a cafe and the delightful Kilminorth Woods have way marked walks through the majestic oak wood, rich in plant, insect and bird life. Apart from beach activities in this part of south east Cornwall, there are many mining remains on Bodmin Moor and in the Tamar Valley and much of the mining landscape has World Heritage status. This area of Cornwall has inspired writers, such as Daphne du Maurier and much of Bodmin Moor has inspired legends linked with King Arthur. There is much to explore in this beautiful part of Cornwall.
