About this property

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

*Special Offer for last remaining August week!* Huge private garden with river.

**SPECIAL OFFER - 20% Discount on 7 night stay for 17th to 24th August - Please message me for details**

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.

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!

Shallow Pool stay
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.

A most relaxing break
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.

Discovery week in Cornwalls
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.
