Guests say
Byre is a charming and peaceful cottage set in a beautiful, secluded location near the South West Coast Path, ideal for walkers and those seeking tranquillity. Guests praise the comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, and warm welcome, with some mentioning thoughtful touches such as fresh eggs on arrival. While the cottage is clean and offers great value, a few minor maintenance issues and dated furnishings are noted. Access is via narrow country lanes, so a car is essential. The property is perfect for those wanting to enjoy the Cornish countryside and coastal walks.
Most guests found the cottage clean and tidy on arrival, though a few mentioned cobwebs in the bedroom. Overall, cleanliness is well maintained.
The location is praised for its beauty, seclusion, and proximity to the coast path, though the remote setting and narrow access roads require careful driving.
Guests found the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, but some noted that the sofa and bedroom furniture could benefit from updating.
The cottage is well equipped for self-catering and offers everything needed for a pleasant stay. Minor maintenance issues such as a loose towel rail and stiff doors were mentioned.
Guests appreciated the warm welcome and thoughtful touches like fresh eggs from the owners' hens, though such gifts cannot be guaranteed for every stay.

Millendreath has a licenced café providing local ales and home-cooked food right on the sand.

Deep sea fishing and other water sports can all be enjoyed in Looe, along with woodland and coastal walks nearby. To the east of the town is the historic city of Plymouth, with its National Marine Aquarium, theatres, cinemas, bowling and shopping, which can be reached from the historic village of Kingsand, right into Barbican, while to the west is Fowey, home to the royal sailing regatta and many galleries, shops and restaurants.

Had a really good week staying in Byre, clean and today on arrival with fresh eggs waiting. Good location to acces all of the local attractions. The description matches the cottage, we had a lovely time enjoying the peace and quiet of the surroundings. Great value for money

Well thought out property, in a gorgeous secluded location. Ideal for the coast path, and a lovely viewpoint overlooking Looe Island literally over the road and down the path. Everything you would need in the cottage, and a comfortable bed. Great welcome gift of fresh eggs from their hens on arrival as well.
