We have been going to Cartole Cottages for many years both summer and winter. Karl and Miles are always welcoming, the place is immaculate and the atmosphere and environment is always welcoming. Cannot rate this highly enough, as base to explore loads of amazing places locally, whether you want to be super active or just take it easy. The cottages are a home from home without the hassle. Thank you Karl and Miles, we look forward to coming back. Joanne and Tom Gahan
Fabulous. Owners onsite, greeting on arrival and quick tour around the grounds, most helpful in quickly getting our bearings. The cottage is small, warm and cosy. Comfortable sofas and beds, spotlessly clean. Surrounded by countryside, it really is a lovely location. Close to Looe and neighbouring villages with small village stores, larger shops in Bodmin and Liskeard. We stay in Cornwall a lot, parking is usually an issue, Linney cottage has parking outside the front door, so much easier for unloading and bringing in the shopping. Dog friendly, with plenty of space in the grounds to walk the ...more
I can’t fault the the place we stayed at it was perfect we will not go to the West Country anymore simply because the parking was an absolute ripoff in Looe , and all other places you need a mortgage to pay all the car parking facilities and shops were ultra expensive so we will take our customer somewhere other than the West Country
Shippen cottage really is a home from home. The hosts Karl and Miles cannot do enough for you and have a wealth of knowledge on the local area for dining out etc. The location is excellent. The cottage has everything you need and is furnished beautifully. I cannot recommend this place highly enough
This is the third time we have stayed in Cartole Cottages but the first time staying in Penny’s. It was perfect for us and our 1 year old. Karl was able to provide a bed guard and a stair gate which was really helpful. The play area is lovely and really good for all ages. Our 1 year old loved the swings, trampoline and the Wendy house with a play kitchen in. Karl checked in with us regularly to see how we were and that everything was ok. The location is perfect for a short drive into Looe or Polperro. There’s more than enough to do in the area. Looking forward to staying again in the future. T...more
We returned to Cartole Cottages this year after a fabulous week spent at ‘The Linney’ last year. Everything was great again - the cottage was spotless, cosy and comfortable. The play area / trampoline was utilised every day by my two children who couldn’t wait to get there. The owner is friendly and welcoming and will help with any need you have. All in all, a lovey base for exploring north / west Cornwall.
