About this property
Small but perfectly formed, this detached stone barn conversion is close to the stunning Riviera coastline. With reverse level accommodation, the interior is well designed and distinctive and outside you have a well stocked and mature garden with patio area. The ground floor open plan living room has a subtle arty style with a plump leather settee, beautiful wooden furniture, a statement rug, scatter cushions, thick warm throws and tasteful decorative items. The kitchenette has all the essential equipment to cook delicious produce from the local farm shop. Head downstairs to a gorgeous bedroom with a king size bed, the best quality bed linens, a sleek en-suite shower room and a door to the garden. You can sit on the patio in the shade of trees with a glass of red at hand and fire up the barbecue as the sun goes down over the valley. Bordering Deer Park and Herodsfoot Forest, The Little Barn feels deeply rural but the seaside town of Looe and the old world charm of Polperro are just a fifteen minute drive. A diverse and unique place, guests can walk (with dog in tow) along the stunning coast path and discover endless beaches or wander through the forest wonderland, located within minutes. For a refined dining atmosphere head into Looe which has a busy fishing port, a reputation for the freshest seafood and ample restaurants serving world-class cuisine. Spend time exploring the town with its galleries, old inns, cafes, individual shops and the beach which permits dogs year round. Hop on a pleasure boat to Polperro or continue farther to the exclusive waterfront town of Fowey. An intimate space, The Little Barn is perfect for walkers, honeymooners and nature lovers.
Looe is Cornwalls 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. Looes 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 discovery centre, and the delightful Kilminorth Woods have way marked walks through the majestic oak wood, rich in plant, insect and bird life. Apart from beachy 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.
