About this house rental

During the last century is was a sweet shop and more recently a thriving restaurant.

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.

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

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!

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

Holidays after Lockdowns
It was great holidays for the group of 11 us, all family members really enjoyed the stay at the Osbourne House East Looe. The place was really tidy and clean the facilities were to the excellent standard. The place is good location, where every things are to near by. I would really recommend this place to other friends and family to have pleasant holidays over there.

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.

Early Summer stay
Osborne House is a grade 2 listed property with charm and did not disappoint. Location for beach and town is superb, with secure parking in the Beach carpark (2 minutes away). Ideal for families with Children - we were a party of 7 adults and 4 children (2yrs - 6yrs). All household amenities were good, however I would suggest a tumble dryer would be a must to compliment the washing machine. The clothes dryer just did not work for drying. Otherwise would highly recommend.

Wonderful large historic house in a fantastic location with the beach at the end of the street!
There were twelve of us and still it didn't feel like we were on top of each other: laid over three floors with four bathrooms. there was plenty of space for everyone. We loved the large dining room and kitchen and had some fab times preparing and eating meals all sat around the large farmhouse table. Beds were very comfortable and the whole house very tastefully furnished.
We been to Looe a couple of times and the town and its wonderful beach never disappoint. Lots to do for the whole family and some lovely coastal walks on the doorstep.
We had a thoroughly
enjoyable holiday and can't wait to return.

House with the wow factor - we loved every minute
We loved Osborne House - fabulous house in the heart of the town that really had the wow factor. Very spacious (arranged over three floors and three en-suite double rooms), clean and well equipped we never felt on top of each other. We had some wonderful evenings sat around the large dining room table (with two pews) and equally enjoyable evenings sat in the comfortable living room. The bedrooms were all very well furnished and very comfortable - this really was a fantastic holiday house. Looe itself is very charming with some lovely eateries (The Smugglers, Old Sail Loft, Plough on The Quay to name a few) we really didn't want to leave.....but we will be back and look forward to staying at Osborne House again!

A beautiful house full of character and fully equipped
Beautiful house. Very central with a great choice of eateries within a short walk. However, if you decide to stay in, you could not want for more as the kitchen is fully equipped.
The huge dining table is great for dining but also for playing board games and the like.
Great for groups of friends and families alike.

It's a beautiful house in a gorgeous town.
If you get the chance to stay here please do so. Four generations of my family stayed here together and it suited us all. It has everything you need for a great stay. It's a stones throw away from the beach/shops /pubs and restaurants. Once there you won't want to leave

Brilliantly located - best house we've stayed in.
Just as it says on the tin - East Looe's finest listed house was a pretty accurate description. We were greeted by Dilly who showed us around and helped us park too. The house is light and spacious with a well thought out nautical theme throughout. Its arranged over three floors providing very comfortable accommodation for 12. Three en-suites and family bathroom meant no queues for loos of showers. Quality cotton bed linen and mattresses meant we all slept well (even with the seagulls) and a fabulous lounge, kitchen and dining area provided the wow-factor.
It was our first time in Looe and what a real gem this town is. More charm than Padstow without the silly prices. Every restaurant and cafe we visited was child friendly with lots of quality choice, The Plough on the Quay is well worth a visit along with the Old Sail Loft and Daisy's. We loved the Saluation and Harbour Moon - all fairly close to the house.
In summary, a great house in a great location. Highly recommended.

Great location in a lovely property .
Birthday celebrations for my mother weremade really enjoyable at osbourne house in east Looe. Fantastic place to visit The property was great, clean and plenty of utensils etc . Fantastic spot just a minute from the beach. We were there the weekend of the raft race which was great fun and made perfect with fabulous weather . The only downfall was the noisy seagulls but there were lots of baby chicks around so we really didn’t mind as they are lovely to watch. Highly recommend a stay here .

Perfect holiday house in heart of the town
This house was perfect for our group of four couples on a mixed media art holiday (oils and water colours mainly) and the town was simply fantastic.: lots of subject matter plus great pubs and a really great selection of restaurants and cafes. This house couldn't have been better located with the beach literally at the end of the street in one direction and the harbour in the other direction. We enjoyed Sarah's Pasties (at the end of the street) and Daisy's is a must for breakfasts. Lots of other brilliant places to eat too including the Smugglers Cott, Pepe's and the Salutation.
