Six self catering holiday cottages near Looe & Polperro, Cornwall

Welcome to Cartole Cottages. Whether your holiday is about walking, cycling, fishing, sailing, getting close to nature, relaxing on a beach, taking in the sites or just getting away from the hustle and bustle, we are perfectly situated to make your next holiday just right for you.

Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Cornish countryside you will find our six charming holiday cottages. Set in large open grounds Cartole Cottages is the perfect location for those who enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the countryside, yet the bustling port of Looe and the picture postcard fishing village of Polperro are just ten minutes drive away.

On site we have a Hot Tub, housed in its own cedar wood cabin and an Infra Red Sauna. A well-equipped Children's Play area with play tower, football goal and trampoline is sited away from the cottages. There is a field walk ideal for exercising your dog or for that romantic evening stroll. Well behaved dogs are welcome by prior arrangement. Guests may use a local swimming pool situated approximately 3 miles away (charge applies).

Cartole Cottages are centrally located for easy exploration of Cornwall and Devon, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Eden Project and many National Trust properties. Cornwall is the home county of novelist Rosamunde Pilcher. Cartole is also an ideal base for walking the coastal path.

We are open all year round and offer week long breaks starting Friday and Saturday. Short breaks and flexible start dates are available outside school holidays.

We are for those who appreciate the countryside and its wildlife; from the cattle and sheep grazing over the garden fence, the buzzards, songbirds and regular evening visits by the owls, to the nocturnal ramblings of the hedgehogs, badgers and foxes. It's all here to be seen - if you have the patience.

We have one three-bedroom cottage, four two-bedroom cottages and a one bedroom cottage. They are set in large open plan gardens with outside seating areas, BBQ's and a Chimnea and provide a safe environment for children to play.

All our cottages are heated, either by electric heating or central heating, which is on from mid September to mid May. Cots and high chairs can be provided on request.
