Smugglers' Cottage - Looe Island - Cornwall
Show filtersSmuggler's Cottage - Looe Island
Smuggler's Cottage on St George's Island is now in an idyllic setting in a clearing amongst the trees overlooking Looe Bay.
Earlier historic illustrations depict a far more open aspect before the trees matured.
Formerly the home of a lovely couple who lived there to help the Atkins Sisters, if you look hard you will see their black cat!
Now the Cottage is used for holidays, if you visit please respect the privacy of those there.
The island is now owned and responsibly managed by Cornwall Wildlife Trust as a nature reserve.
I would thoroughly recommend a visit to this enchanting isle. Visits are are limited by seasons, weather, and tides,
