Lantau Cottage is steeped in a rich history with many original features including panelled walls, beamed and gabled ceilings, oreil windows and a winding staircase that incorporates an original full size ship's mast. Osborne House is also full of character having once been a famous restaurant and also a sweet shop. Both properties benefit from quality furniture and soft furnishings and guests will appreciate the attention to detail. Both are very well equipped and yet provide discerning guests a flavour of days long gone. Both houses are ideally situated just a few paces from East Looe’s sandy beach, historic fishing port and many cafes, bars and restaurants. Lantau and Osborne each have a parking space by the beach. Additional parking can be found at the nearby Millpool car park. Normally let from Saturday to Saturday, short breaks are available by arrangement. Both are no-smoking properties and we regret that pets are not permitted. The use of towels is included in the weekly tariff.

Notes on accommodation
Both properties benefit from central heating and are ideal for families. Both properties are furnished to a very high quality and each benefits from very high quality Egyptian cotton bed linen and thick cotton towels.
Accessibility
Lantau Cottage has a steep and winding staircase as well as a couple of steps on the ground floor that make it unsuitable for wheelchair users or older or less mobile people. Similarly Osborne House also has two flights of stairs and neither property has a toilet on the ground floor.
Outside
The houses do not have gardens or outside space but they are yards for the beach. As our many guests usually say "who needs a garden when you're so close to the beach".
Coast/Beach
Osborne House and Lantau Cottage are ideally situated just a few paces from East Looe’s sandy beach and historic fishing port. The beach is normally swept daily making it a clean and safe environment for children (the harbour is ideal for crabbing!). There are a number of walks within easy reach of the house including a spectacular walk to Talland Bay and Polperro. Why not walk there and get the boat back. There are many boat and fishing trips available from the quayside - subject to tide times.
Travel
By car, Looe is approximately 30 minutes from Plymouth, 1 ¼ hours from Exeter and 2.5 hours from Bristol. For those without a car we recommend coming to Looe by train - travel along the Looe Valley line which is one of the UK's most scenic railways. Both Osborne House and Lantau Cottage are a 7-10 minute wall from the Looe railway station (2 minutes via taxi).
Distances
The town of Looe lies only about 20 miles into South East Cornwall and is readily accessible via the Tamar Bridge and the A38. A branch line and railway station connects the town with the Penzance to Paddington line at Liskeard. The single track follows the valley of the East Looe River, passing four tiny intermediate stations before terminating beside the pretty tidal estuary.
Further details
This coastal location is in an area of outstanding natural beauty and is a perfect retreat - ideally situated yards from the sandy beach, historic harbour, cafes and restaurants. Our luxury characterful properties steeped in history and providing discerning guests a flavour of days long gone.
