About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Luxurious, tranquil retreat, huge private garden with river, near beaches.

Nestled in the beautiful and ancient Kilminorth Woodland, West Looe of Cornwall. A spacious and cosy dwelling amongst almost an acre of private lawned gardens, woodland and stream. Here you can find an abundance of wildlife, we have seen heron, peregrine, buzzards, swans and deer in the garden alone. Fish for salmon and trout in the stream. Kayak over the picturesque river of West Looe. Wade in the cool stream on a hot summers day, or snooze under the shade of the apple trees. Warm yourself by the log fire, hear the trickle of the river and watch the stars in this unspoilt and protected part of Cornwall.

Shallow Pool is more than a home away from home with a touch of luxury to greet you after a woodland walk, a boat trip on the river or a day on the beach.

Visit Cornwall's charming and prettiest coastal villages nearby. Experience Cornish dining and quench your thirst in the local award winning pubs and restaurants.

Lovely remote bungalow
Spacious bungalow, with lovely big garden. Well equipped with everything you’d need. Such a peaceful stay! Understandably, with it being such a remote area, the road the accommodation is on, as well as the surrounding roads are very tight with very limited passing places. There was no forewarning for this on the listing. It was not too much of an issue for us but could be for others. In general the property was clean. However, doors, walls and BBQ could do with a deep clean.

Autumn break
Lovely property with good facilities. Nice welcome pack which we really needed. I’m sure it’s lovely in summer but we endured rain, storms & flooding which made enjoying the local area a challenge. Access road to property was difficult to navigate & we burst 3 tyres with small rocks which had washed down the road. Just bad luck weather wise but did affect our stay sadly I’m sure it’s lovely in nice weather!

We all had a fantastic stay at Shallow Pool. The property had everything we needed and more. The garden is gorgeous, with ample space for kids, grown ups and the dog. The house was modern with very comfortable furnishings. Would definitely stay again.

If you enjoy complete peace, quiet and privacy then this is the property for you. I had a pretty good idea from the listing pictures what it would be like, but the reality is just magic. Superb weather for our 5 days, and just the R&R that we all needed.

My parents and I spent a week in the cottage with my dog. We had an amazing time. the property and garden are splendid. the garden is huge and gorgeous with a river running in the back. An extremely relaxing place. There is everything needed and the communication is great. If we go back to Cornwalls it will definitely be a place we would go to again.

Last minute break away turned out to be the best short stay we’ve experienced, that we booked and paid for an extra night! The property is far superior to any we have previously enjoyed, with home from home utilities and comforts included. The kitchen diner is perfect for any time of the day to enjoy, with the added benefit of a log burner in the lounge for cozy winter evenings playing an array of board games. Well stocked shelving of books and toys, and fully loaded tv if required. The best part is of course the land in which the property sits, with wonderful countryside views, the sound of nature and blissful stream at the bottom. Our dog couldn’t believe her luck having this garden to roam during our stay. Sonia is an incredible host who thinks of every little home comfort required, with the added welcoming treats on arrival. Would definitely recommend this property to families who love nature but also dogs who wish for freedom and wonderful walks in the countryside and woodland walks to Looe. Thank you so much for organising with the housekeeper the return of our Alexa, going that extra mile makes an experience a wonderful memory Guy, Tara and Luna

Beautiful property in a stunning location
A gorgeous property, inside and out. Thankful the owners share this gem with holiday makers. We felt secluded and surrounded by nature, very special when an otter came to play in the pond one evening. The interior is both comfortable and a cozy design. Cannot fault, would thoroughly recommend and will be back.

Perfect!
Very clean, very comfortable and excellent location. As the host says, it is a home to home experience. You will find all those little but very important small kitchen and household items that you always need for the simple day to day matters. The cottage itself is very clean. Rooms spacious and well positioned. Comfortable beds, bedding and linen. The outdoor has plenty of areas to relax and it is very private. Very close to Looe and all it has to offer. We walked via Kilminorth Woods to the town straight from the cottage. We very much enjoyed Looe to Talland Bay walk. Highly recommend!
