Believed to have been built in the late 1500’s, legend has it that Tolva’s original purpose was secure storage of contraband seized from the infamous smugglers of this part of the Cornish coast; modified to become a dwelling, after the building of Looe’s customhouse, it became part of a merchant’s home and thereafter was a fisherman’s cottage: rich history makes Tolva a quirky delight at any time of year. Set in the quieter traffic-free backstreets, nestled between the quay and beach, Tolva is within easy reach of Looe’s shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants and all manner of boat-trips from the quay. Fresh fish and local produce are readily available if you prefer not to venture out.
Equally suiting two couples or families with children, Tolva sleeps up to five and facilities are available (travel cot, high chair and stairgate) for infant accommodation.
On entry, stairs lead to the upper ground floor, where you'll find the comfortable lounge and shower room. The lounge is equipped with a Smart TV and DVD player. Down three steps from the entrance hall is the kitchen/diner, complete with cooking facilities comprising oven, hob, microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge & freezer. A Dolce Gusto coffee maker is available (please supply your own pods!).
Free WiFi is offered.
Rear windows overlook neighbours’ enclosed pretty courtyard garden.
Take a boat-trip to Looe Island – a paradise of photographic opportunity for lovers of coastal life, or choose from other available aquatic excursions, from glass-bottomed to sea-fishing; walk the coastal path through West Looe via picturesque Talland Bay and enjoy lunch at The House on the Props or one of the many equally-quaint kitchens of Polperro – emerging suitably-fortified for the return journey (or perhaps, take the bus?). Further afield there are a number of very different but equally absorbing National Trust properties and access to the A38/A30 provides a route to enjoying the many rugged and historic splendours Cornwall offers. (Please check opening times).
