The resort of Looe is home to one of the country’s fish markets supplied by the day boats that leave this quaint working harbour. Stroll the flat lanes that lead to the harbour and wide expanse of golden sand, buy some fish or seafood for that special meal, or visit one of the multitudes of restaurants the town has to offer. The coastal path is easily accessible on foot from the house and provides beautiful walks and views along this dramatic coastline. The railway station is just 50 yards away and there is a very good bus service, meaning a car is not necessary.
There are boat trips, sightseeing and fishing from the harbour and nearby Polperro, a quaint and historic fishing village is a short distance along the coast. There are numerous cycle routes around the area and many surfing spots. Nearby, there are various tourist attractions such as The Monkey Sanctuary, National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth, golf courses, a farm shop providing local produce, and many National Trust gardens and houses to visit. The Eden Project is also an easy drive and provides an exceptional day out as does Padstow, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Fowey, a picturesque seafaring town providing sailing, kayaking and pleasure trips along the Fowey River. Deep sea fishing, pleasure trips and other water sports can all be enjoyed in Looe, along with woodland and coastal walks nearby. To the east of the town is the historic city of Plymouth, with its theatres, cinemas, bowling and shopping, and to the west is Fowey. Beach ½ mile. Shop 500 yards, pub and restaurant 20 yards.

Really enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean, tidy and comfortable and had all that you needed. There are quite a few stairs to climb up to the apartment but the view from the window is well worth it. It is in a great location with a short walk into town, and train station nearby too. Would definitely recommend!
