The property has been awarded four star Gold VisitEngland accreditation for 2026/27, for the fourth consecutive year.

Step out of Curlews’ front door, wander through the narrow, centuries old backstreets of East Looe and, within a minute, you’re on the sandy beach.

One of the most characterful self-catering holiday cottages in Looe, Curlews sleeps up to six guests across three spacious bedrooms, making it ideal for families or groups of up to four adults.

Curlews is a characterful three-storey period townhouse, tucked away in a peaceful courtyard in the heart of the town. Inside, its historic character has been carefully preserved and sympathetically renovated to create a bright, quirky and contemporary home for relaxed family holidays by the sea.

From there, the day is yours: swim, explore the harbour, follow the South West Coast Path, or simply enjoy the food, drink and atmosphere of Looe.

Guest Reviews

Perfect Location, Parking Clean And Tidy

Needed a get away long weekend to relax, Curlews Cottage was perfect. Even in November with the rain it was cosy close to shops, pubs and restaurants and harbour. We were four adults on a get away break and would recommend and stay here again ourselves. Owner and housekeeper very accommodating.
