Description

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.

The cottage is beautifully equipped to a high standard, kitchen and bathroom refurbished 2018. 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. Leather sofa and chair provides seating for 4 people. 42" interative TV, Freeview, Blue ray DVD player, Radio/CD/iPod docking station and superfast broadband.

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, washer/dryer and seating for four.

Bedroom 1: Double bed, built in wardrobes, bedside cabinets and lamps.

Bedroom 2: Double bed, built in wardrobe.

Electric heating included in rental price. Bed Linen (Egyptian Cotton) and Towels provided for use in cottage (not for beach use).

If travel cot required bed linen not supplied.

Gardens: large slate patio area with furniture. BBQ area and Summer House. Gravel parking area for for two cars at the side of cottage.

Watergate offers a peaceful retreat for guests, but within easy access of beaches, harbours and sheltered coves. Picturesque walks right on the doorstep. Looe only half hour/forty five minute stroll through the woods, or canoe along the river at high tide.

Talland Bay and Polperro are worthy of an amble along the coastal path with spectacular views. This area is rich in bird-life with kingfishers, herons, buzzards, egrets and many more.

For those who enjoy star gazing this is a perfect location due to clear skies the Milky Way is visible from the garden with the naked eye.

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.
