Horton Cottage

Horton Cottage Description

‘Horton Cottage’ is a traditional mid-terraced fisherman’s cottage, just off the waterfront in the fishing village of Looe, South Cornwall. Just a 10 minutes stroll over the bridge to East Looe’s lovely sandy beach. Looe is a great favourite, being a working fishing village with shops, quaint pubs and restaurants and cafes and one can watch the small fishing boats unloading their catch on the quay. The shops conveniently adjoin the beach, adding to the atmosphere and attraction of Looe as a resort. Looe is divided into East Looe and West Looe by a river, with Looe Bridge connecting the two. Pretty Horton Cottage is in West Looe. There are boat fishing trips for mackerel and deep sea fishing, with pleasure boat trips to Fowey & some other destinations. Walkers will enjoy the walk along the coastal footpath from West Looe to Talland Bay (about 7 miles) returning by bus or taxi. A cosy character cottage modernised in 2008, providing very comfortable accommodation with cottage style furnishings whilst retaining character features. The cottage is a few steps down from the road. A quiter position in a side lane just a few hundred yards from the quayside, eating places, shops and a few pubs (such as the Jolly Roger). Sit on the quayside and enjoy the views over Looe river, Banjo Pier and out to sea. Great fun to take the little boat from West Looe across the river to East Looe beach (40p per person 2008) which saves having to walk. West Looe is often preferred over East Looe, being the less hectic side of the river. The townsfolk have a great sense of community and in putting this to practice Looe has been voted the 5th best destination in the country in which to spend New Year! Small front courtyard area to sit in with table and chairs. The best place to park is about 500 yards from the cottage further along the waterfront at Hannafore, West Looe, a safe residential area free at all times, with a lovely return walk to the cottage (superb views of the coast and Looe harbour). Also free parking further up the road from the holiday cottage during the following times: October to April any time, May to Sept between 6pm and 9am.
