  • "A beautiful cottage."

    Fantastic location. Quiet, but still close enough to walk easily to both East and West Looe. It was great to have such handy car parking, right infront of the cottage. Everything was top quality and we really loved the wood burner, especially as the weather was mixed. A great place to relax.

  • "The property is in a fabulous location I’m not sure it would be big enough for a family but for a couple it was ideal ."

    The neighbours are lovely. The only criticism and it is being picky is that as a woman take a good shower cap the shower is overhead which is good but not if you don’t want to wash your hair every day . I don’t know how well equipped the kitchen was because we ate out .

  • "Lovely, cosy little cottage and we had a lovely stay."

    Love the quirky like features but with a modern twist. Beds are comfortable and kitchen is well stocked if you're planning to cook (although the knives are very blunt). Perfect location close to town but set back a little so it's quiet and peaceful. Beautiful views of the river from the bedrooms. Nice little bench to sit in the sun and chill.

    Thank you for your feedback Property Owner

  • "Farleigh cottage was a wonderful place to stay."

    Characterful and comfortable, maybe on the slightly smaller side but your like us and spend most of the time out, this wasn’t an issue, however I could see how it would be crampt with 4x adults or 2x adults and 2x children. The bed was extremely comfortable and we’d love to know what mattress topper was on the bed! Shower was also very good, some places they can be hit and miss and after a long walk you like a good shower to get clean and this was a very good shower, good water pressure all over the house, careful when you turn on the taps, haha. The owners are very responsive on text messages should you need anything which was fantastic. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, we both left feeling as though we actually rested. 5 minute walk to looe town and beach was perfect and beautiful all times of the day. Visit Smugglers Cot for food, it is delicious!

    Thank you for lovely feedback so glad you enjoyed your stay and felt rested Pam Property Owner

  • "On arrival on a cold day in December, entering Farleigh Cottage was like walking onto a fridge."

    It was icy cold. The heating was off. Having turned the heating on, some 5 hours later the temperature was improving but still not comfortable. The boiler must be very inefficient. Not the warm welcome I wished for. As requested in the visitors information book, upon leaving I turned down the heat setting to 5. Not looking good for the next visitors' arrival! WiFi wouldn't connect despite repeated attempts to connect manually or via the QR code. Cleaning is suspect: a place mat felt tacky and when held up to the light, smears became evident and an obvious food stain showed up on one. There were grubby handprints above the kitchen area radiator and on the wall next to the stairs. Disused bits of material were protruding where it had been stuffed down in between the oven and the wall. On some kitchen cupboard doors the laminated finish is separating. The right-hand cupboard in the bathroom is stained on the inside bottom right corner. A screwdriver was found in the bottom of the shower door frame. A conscientious cleaner would have noticed this if the shower was cleaned. Not the sort of thing you'd want to stab your toes on. No recycling facility. The standard of finish on the interior decoration is not the greatest. Check out the way that sealant/caulking has been applied. I left with the strong impression of an unloved property that receives minimal care. This the second Sykes property I have used and the first one (Ferndale in Lynton, Devon) was everything this one was not. It was excellent, as I said in my review of it. As both properties are rated Outstanding by Sykes, I expected the same level of care in Farleigh Cottage. Clearly this was not the case and I fail to understand where Sykes Outstanding rating came to be. Hopefully the owners will take note and act on these criticisms. Redecorating with thorough cleaning, plus a warm welcome (above 5 degrees!), would lift this well positioned property with the bonus of a parking space from adequate to a genuine Outstanding.

    We are so sorry that you didn’t enjoy your stay , we take on board your comments Property Owner

    We were a family of 3 with one small child and it was fine. It would be tight for 4 adults but otherwise fine for us! Some of the decor looking a bit tired and chipped but otherwise a good location for our stay and kitchen well equipped.

  • "We all enjoyed our stay at Farleigh Cottage, it is in a great location within a short walk of Looe town (5-8mins walk to the nearest side of Looe Town and 8-10mins walk to beach)."

    Looe has fantastic cafés, shops, pubs and restaurants for all to enjoy. We was able to venture out and explore the south coast of Cornwall during our stay. We will definitely be rebooking when we next visit the south Cornish coast.

  • "We really enjoyed our stay at Farleigh Cottage which is in a perfect location to walk into Looe & explore the surrounding area."

    The cottage is cozy & comfortable with everything you could need. We felt it could benefit with a bigger roasting dish rather than baking trays & a larger pan, perhaps a wok. The view from the top bedroom is fantastic, but we did struggle a bit with the sloping ceilings, getting up in the night/ in & out of bed etc but the movement sensitive light on the staircase was a godsend. We didn't mind washing up after ourselves but couldn't understand why there is a washing machine with no outside space/full sized airer to dry the washing, rather than a dishwasher. Our stay at the cottage was with friends & we struggled to park our second car. We expected to pay around £25 at Millpool car park for a weekly ticket but on arrival, found it to be approx £70. However, the car park beyond Millpool car park offers a weekly ticket for £15. You can also park freely at the top of the hill at Hannafore which is a good 20 minute walk from the cottage. Thank you for our lovely stay at the cottage.

    Thank you for comments, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. This is our first year letting Farleigh out so appreciate any feedback to help make quests stay better. The parking as recently gone up in Looe so we are grateful for the one spot outside. Hope you come and stay again. Pam Property Owner

The property

Enjoying elevated views over East Looe River in the Cornish town of Looe is Farleigh Cottage, a delightful, two-bedroom dwelling.

Just paces away from the beach and a hub of amenities and attractions, Farleigh Cottage offers a charming abode for four guests, also inviting one well-behaved dog.

Park up in the designated parking space, and make your way to your new, traditional abode.

Step indoors to be met by the contemporary open-plan living space, where you'll locate a fully-equipped kitchen, dining seating for four guests, and plush sofas to sink into after a day of adventure; on cooler days, light the woodburning stove for a warming glow and feel.

After enjoying supper and a cosy night in, catch some rest from either the twin bedroom, complete with a zip/link feature, and the second-floor double-size bedroom, the latter enjoying breath-taking vistas of the coast.

Awaken to a refreshing shower in the shower room, before heading into the town where you'll find a wealth of shops, pubs, eateries, and attractions to take advantage of.

On your doorstep, enjoy touring the Old Guildhall Museum & Gaol, take a stroll along East Looe Beach, or head to the bustling West Looe Harbour to watch the boats come in.

Outdoor enthusiasts will jump at the opportunity to visit the Adrenalin Quarry adventure park for an afternoon of watersports, a hike through Kilminorth Woods, or a trek up to Golitha Falls and nature reserve.

With plenty of coastal villages and towns to visit, including Seaton and Fowey, be sure to stop off at nearby Polperro, where you can follow the lovely Polperro Heritage Coast path along the beachfront, grab a bag of fish and chips, and end the day with a tour of Polperro Harbour Heritage Museum, before returning home for sundowners.

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.
