About this property

Escape to the Cornish coast in this beautiful period property overlooking Looe. Sleeping four guests, the spacious holiday home makes a wonderful couples’ retreat or base for a small family. The South West Coast Path passes through the town, making Looe a great base for walkers, and other nearby attractions include Adrenaline Quarry (7 miles) and the picture-postcard village of Polperro (4 miles). In the evenings, pour a glass of wine and sit out on the terrace, watching the fishing boats returning to the harbour.

The Victorian property enjoys an elevated position, with far-reaching views across the Looe Estuary. The property is decorated in hues to reflect the surrounding seascape, and you’ll spot little nautical touches in the accessories and artwork. The heart of the home is an open-plan lounge/diner, full of period features and boasting a magnificent bay window. Unwind in the lounge area to watch the Smart TV or gather at the rear of the room for memorable mealtimes around the dining table. A separate, stylish kitchen has everything needed for a self-catering break. Upstairs, two elegant bedrooms await, along with an indulgent family bathroom. To the front of the property is a sunny, decked area with seating and spectacular views across the water. There’s also a small, enclosed patio to the rear.

Looe is full of Cornish charm, with cobbled streets lined with cute boutiques and cafes. The town is known for its fantastic seafood restaurants, many of which offer outdoor seating overlooking the harbour. In summer, boat trips regularly depart from the harbour, including to the wildlife haven of Looe Island. Looe has some fantastic beaches, including the sandy, family-friendly East Looe Beach directly in front of the town and the quieter, rocky cove of Hannafore, just across the river.
