Osborne House - East Looe's finest listed property - seconds from the beach

Osborne House is a magnificent 350 year old Cornish town house which, in the 1800s, was originally a the home of a wealthy merchant. During the last century is was a sweet shop and more recently a thriving restaurant. Today it is a fully restored family home, retaining many original features including wooden beams - one of which is reputed to have come from the defeated Spanish Armada. The house is set in the heart of East Looe - ideally situated yards from the sandy beach, historic harbour, cafes and restaurants. This coastal location in South-East Cornwall is in an area of outstanding natural beauty and is a perfect retreat for anyone looking to escape from the urban hustle & bustle. The house sleeps up to 12 and is ideal for family holidays, birthday parties, group or reunions.

In 2014/5 Osborne House was given a five star ranking from Visit Britain and won a gold award for outstanding quality. Nearby parking for 2 cars is included.

Wonderful Christmas and New Year
We had a marvellous Christmas and New Year at Osbourne House: We checked in at 1pm on Christmas Eve and it was perfect from then on. Cooked our Christmas Dinner on the superb range and there was plenty of crockery and utensils for our large family. House was beautiful and warm and everything was extremely clean: Osbourne is a superb period property and felt so happy to be able to spend Christmas with the family in such a beautiful place

Perfect location for group stay
Great base for a group stay, there was 11 of us and there was enough space for us all. Osborne House is the perfect location to access the beach and town. It was super clean and full of character. We walked the coastal path to Polperro, went mackerel fishing and spent the evenings swimming in the sea and had beach bbqs. Looe is not easy driving for large cars though and watch out for noisy, vicious seagulls!

Lovely well placed cottage
We stayed here as we were attending a wedding in St Neots. Cottage was large and very well equipped....we were 6 adults and 6 children. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and spent time in the town and on the beach post wedding. Some of our extended family joined us for dinner on the Friday and the cottage was more than suitable for the extra guests. Would stay again as location is superb... James was most accommodating and we were able to get into cottage a little earlier which made life easier with the younger children

This was an excellent place for our family to stay, great large dining area and open plan kitchen for meals and plenty of bathrooms for everyone to have their own space. The location right next to the beach was also perfect.Would definitely go again.

Wonderful house in great location close to beach
Super house ideal for multi generation family holidays. Very nicely decorated with a nautical theme throughout, the house is spacious, comfortably sleeps 12 and benefits from four toilets/bathrooms. Location couldn't have been better with the beach and harbour just a stone's throw away. A big thanks to James and team for the smooth booking process and clear joining instructions, and we'd love to return.
