I can’t believe I’ve been holidaying in Cornwall for over 20years and never stayed at Kilminorth Cottages before! Well now I’ve found this location we will definitely be back. The location is stunning. Love the views and hearing nothing but the birds in the day and an owl each evening was so peaceful. The cottage was fantastic. Spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed. The staff we met were really friendly and helpful too. I can’t wait to return and try out the pool and maybe one of the properties with a hot tub next time. Thank you Kilminorth Cottages 🥰

Really lovely rural setting for a wedding which is the main purpose for this venue with some of the cottages let out when not all taken by wedding the wedding party. There were two weddings there during the week we stayed which didn't cause any real issue for us. The cottage we stayed in was clean, modern & well kept. The location is approximately a 2 mile walk into Looe through woodland so bear this in mind depending on your ability. There are no food facilities on site, just a bar which is occasionally open so whilst they are self catering cottages make sure you bring supplies. Food is only supplied for wedding parties. There is a pool, this area is lovely & during the hot summer must have been amazing. Overall great site for dogs with lots of long walks. The on site staff are all very friendly & helpful.
