The sleepy village of St Keyne nestles in the main valley leading down to the coast at Looe. Renowned for its rolling meadows and wooded valleys, the region is a haven for nature and wildlife lovers. The nearby south coast is the area's main attraction, offering lovely sandy beaches and coastal walks, while the working fishing ports of Looe and Polperro are both within a 20 minute drive. With impressive country houses and gardens nearby, the delightful cathedral city of Truro just a short drive away and the Eden Project and Heligan Gardens within easy touring distance, this is an ideal location for a relaxing break in picturesque surroundings.

Previous visitors' comments about The Retreat:
A very restful holiday at 'The Retreat'. A warm welcome from the owners including flowers, milk, biscuits and wine. It was great to be able to use the Looe Valley Railway which is just a short walk to the Wishing Well Halt.

This is the second time we have been to the Retreat as we really enjoyed our visit, the couple who own this cottage are so friendly and they make sure every thing you need is provided, even the dogs get their treats. I am sure we will be returning again next year.

The cottage was very well equipped - the owners had thought to supply the kind of things you forget to take but that make all the difference. The flooring throughout was also great; just a quick mop to get rid of paw prints!
Mr Matlock, Oakham, September 2011
Very peaceful, lots of walks from the cottage, combining the railway with the planned walks there was no need to use the car on most days. The cottage was very clean and tidy. The little extras help to make it a great week.
