Dairymaids Cottage

About this property

In gorgeous, honey-coloured stone, the characterful two bedroom Dairymaid’s Cottage sits next to Tinner’s Cottage on the fabulous Tremaine Manor Estate. It is a very attractive property with some lovely outside space. Guests stay in luxurious comfort with the master bedroom enjoying a kingsize brass bed and the second bedroom offering a comfy single bed. There is room in the master for a cot too if you are traveling with a bundle of joy.

The Tremaine Manor & Country Cottages Estate is absolutely wonderful, a rural paradise sprinkled with lush lawns, woodland trails, a stream and three and a half beautiful acres of tranquil space. The estate is ten minutes from the picturesque harbour village of Looe. Looe is a centre of offshore shark fishing as well as boasting a gorgeous sandy beach, crabbing on the quayside, quaint cobbled streets, independent local shops and an abundance of restaurants and pubs serving handmade Cornish pasties and gourmet seafood. Looe is very popular and many visitors return year after year. The South West Coastal Path, Britain’s longest National Trail, passes through the village and Bodmin Moor is on the doorstep with its granite tors, plentiful streams, waterfalls, moorland ponies, pretty heather and wild beauty. The pretty town of Fowey and the atmospheric village of Polperro which dates back to the thirteenth century are within very easy reach of Dairymaid’s Cottage.

Perfect for a small family, Dairymaid’s Cottage enjoys a warm, inviting ambience with a newly refurbished country kitchen and dining room, a homely living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom with a bath and overhead shower. The kitchen is brilliantly well fitted and very tasteful in joyful yellow tones. The appliances are perfect for preparing a holiday feast and there is a Nespresso coffee machine for your morning cup of coffee. The dining area is lovely too with its window decorated by yellow floral curtains. The living room is a warm and cosy nest with a wood burning stove, gorgeous beams, a leather sofa and a comfy modern chair. You can spend your evenings watching a movie on the Smart television, listening to your favourite tunes on the Bluetooth speaker or playing family games such as chess, jigsaws, board games and playing cards which are provided for your entertainment. The feature fireplace adds a crackling atmosphere.

Upstairs you will discover a pretty master bedroom with its kingsize bed adorned with crisp cottons, a throw and lovely scatter cushions. The room is light and airy and enjoys beautiful garden and estate views. The second bedroom is perfect for a child with a single bed. There is a spacious, fully-tiled family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower to share.

Dairymaid’s Cottage enjoys a pretty front garden with deluxe outdoor furniture and a firepit, all lovely for relaxation in the sunshine or under the night’s stars. Guests staying at Dairymaid’s Cottage receive a welcome hamper, a basket of logs, enjoy use of a portable barbecue on request and are welcome to bring up to two of their furry friends with them. A washing machine and tumble dryer is available in a nearby laundry room.

Dairymaid’s Cottage is located on the fabulous three and a half acre Tremaine Manor Estate. It is a quiet, countryside property, within easy reach of the south coast beaches and the moors.

Whilst retaining a working fishing port, Looe is very attractive to holidaymakers with wonderful eateries, Cornish pasty shops, a beautiful beach and some excellent, unique shops. Visitors enjoy watching crabbers on the quayside and the colourful fishing boats returning with their catches. Looe boasts many local gourmet restaurants overlooking the harbour as well as award winning fish and chips near the river. There is a pretty bridge that separates East and West Looe. The Looe Marine Conservation Group host regular rockpool rambles for children of all ages. Their website gives details of the wildlife events and local family friendly adventures such as crabbing, snorkeling, bird watching, fishing and visits to Looe Island. Looe Island was once a holy pilgrimage site. Now it is a sanctuary for wildlife and rare plants. In 2004 Looe Island was left to the Cornwall Wildlife Trust by Babs Atkins who had bought the island with her sister in the 1960’s. You will discover a grey seal population sunbathing on the rocks and swimming around the island. The island is home to many nesting birds such as cormorants, shags and oystercatchers. It boasts the largest breeding colony in Cornwall of the majestic great black-backed gull. During the summer months there are frequent boat trips and guided walks. The Old Sardine Factory Heritage Centre tells the story of Looe’s maritime history. You will learn how Looe exported pilchards to Italy, sent pilgrims to Galicia and sailed across the Atlantic to catch cod off of Newfoundland. You will also learn about boat building and experience a lifeboat Shout! with state-of-the-art technology. The centre is also a climbing wall and kayaking centre. If you fancy a scenic day out but don’t want to drive, you can take the Looe Valley train line to the historic market town of Liskeard. There are stunning views though heavily wooded valleys teeming with wildlife, glorious estuary views and rivers full of wading birds such as little egrets, grey herons, oystercatchers and curlews. Looe’s Music Festival is fast becoming a very popular outdoor event attracting many famous artists such as Jools Holland, Bryan Ferry, Lulu, the Stranglers and many more.

The stunning South West Coast Path passed through Looe. Starting in Minehead in Somerset, it covers 630 miles ending in Poole in Dorset. It offers extraordinary sea views and is very popular. There are also countless walks in the beautiful countryside surrounding Looe. You may want to walk around Fowey where you can enjoy seeing Menabilly, once the home of Daphne du Maurier and the inspiration for Manderley in her novel Rebecca. Fowey is a popular sailing destination and a quaint deep-water fishing port. There is a ferry service to the pretty village of Polruan opposite. Walking from Polruan towards Polperro you will pass the beautiful Lantic Bay and the horseshoe shaped West Coombe at Lansallos. Polperro is a gorgeous, quintessential Cornish fishing village with steep narrow streets, pretty slate cottages and stunning views. Sheltered from the ravages of tide and time in its dramatic cliff ravine, Polperro is an enchanting jumble of cottages, all the work of Cornish fishermen. The 36 mile walk from Looe to Boscastle is wonderful, crossing Bodmin Moor via Davidstow, Rough Tor and Brown Willy and passing through the verdant West Looe Valley. The Deerpark Forest is also another treat with many trails running through the woodland. With tranquil millpond views, winding forest trails and a hidden valley, it is a great day out.

Visitors looking for a day by the sea have a wonderful choice of beaches. In Looe, East Looe Beach is very popular with families. Millendreath Beach is a gorgeous south facing sandy beach at the foot of a wooded valley. Just around the corner is Plaidy Beach, a small, sheltered beach which is wonderful if you are looking to chill with some peace and quiet. Talland Bay is between Looe and Polperro. It is made up of two coves and is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Seaton Beach is also close, to the east of Looe. It is situated at the foot of the Hessenford Valley with the River Seaton crossing the beach. Hoodny Cove and Finnygook Beach are accessible from Portwrinkle Beach, both sandy and popular with families. Finnygook is a surfers favourite. Other popular beaches are Polperro, Whitsand Bay and Downderry Beach.

Bodmin Moor is one of Cornwall’s designated Areas of Outstanding Beauty. With its giant stretches of heather, this upland granite moorland is delightful. It is brimming with high granite tors, streams and waterfalls and you will probably get to see the moorland ponies grazing.
