The property

Harbourside Retreat is a well-appointed first-floor apartment occupying an enviable position on the Quay in Looe, Cornwall.

Boasting views across the river towards West Looe and within easy reach of the beach, this pet-friendly retreat is ideal for families and friends looking to experience all that this popular stretch of the Cornish coast has to offer.

After arriving in town, leave your car in one of the nearby public car parks before making your way through Looe's lively streets to the apartment.

Those travelling by rail can enjoy a pleasant walk from the station, passing waterside scenes along the way.

Ascend the stairs to the property and step into the welcoming living space, where the river provides a wonderful backdrop to your stay.

Spend relaxed mornings sipping coffee as boats pass by, gather around the dining table to map out days of adventure, or settle in during the evening for a film on the TV while watching the quayside activity beyond the windows.

The kitchen has everything required for preparing family favourites, from simple breakfasts before heading out to satisfying evening meals enjoyed together after a day beside the coast.

The apartment offers two inviting bedrooms, including a double room and a family bedroom featuring a single bunk above a double bed, providing flexible sleeping arrangements for a range of groups.

The bathroom is fitted with a bath and shower over, offering the choice of a long soak after a coastal walk or a refreshing rinse before setting off for the day.

Gas central heating ensures a welcoming setting throughout the year, while WiFi keeps everyone connected during their stay.

One of the property's standout features is the balcony, where you can sit back with a morning brew or evening tipple and admire uninterrupted views across the water towards West Looe.

From here, you'll find shops, pubs, restaurants, the riverfront, and the beach all just a gentle walk away, allowing you to enjoy much of the town without needing to use the car.

Venture beyond Looe to discover the charming fishing village of Polperro, where narrow streets weave between characterful cottages, the historic harbour offers picture-perfect views, and local galleries showcase Cornish creativity.

Fowey is another excellent destination, home to scenic estuary walks, rewarding boat excursions along the water, and an appealing collection of independent shops and eateries.

For something different, head to Bodmin to uncover the history of Bodmin Jail, explore the heritage of this Cornish town, and roam the dramatic landscapes of nearby Bodmin Moor with its rugged tors and expansive scenery.

Further memorable days out await at the Eden Project, where vast planted biomes, impressive artwork, and year-round events create a fascinating visitor experience.

Boat trips to Looe Island Nature Reserve offer opportunities to discover local wildlife, learn about the island's history, and take in fantastic coastal views, while the South West Coast Path invites walkers to explore striking cliffs, secluded coves, and breathtaking sea vistas.

Whether you're admiring the river from the balcony, enjoying seaside days with loved ones, or uncovering Cornwall's much-loved towns and attractions, Harbourside Retreat is a superb base for your next stay in Looe.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

LOOE

Polperro 5 miles.

Looe is Cornwall’s second largest fishing port and hence there is always a lively maritime bustle around the quay area of East Looe, which is connected to the quieter West Looe by a seven arched 19th century bridge over the River Looe. You can also catch the river taxi between East and West Looe. East Looe has narrow cobbled streets, twisting alleyways and plenty of tourist shops, whilst West Looe has a lovely outlook across the harbour. Looe’s viewpoint, Banjo Pier, can be reached from the quay and is a great spot to watch the returning fishing trawlers and look across the bay to Looe Island, which can be walked to occasionally at very low tides. The sandy Looe beach adjoins the pier and is very popular with families because of its safe shallow swimming and vast expanse of sand. There is also a great rock pool area at Hannafore that children will love. West Looe has a Heritage Centre that recently opened in the Old Sardine Factory with a climbing wall and a cafe and the delightful Kilminorth Woods have way marked walks through the majestic oak wood, rich in plant, insect and bird life. Apart from beach activities in this part of south east Cornwall, there are many mining remains on Bodmin Moor and in the Tamar Valley and much of the mining landscape has World Heritage status. This area of Cornwall has inspired writers, such as Daphne du Maurier and much of Bodmin Moor has inspired legends linked with King Arthur. There is much to explore in this beautiful part of Cornwall.
