With four elegant bedrooms, Looe Cottage offers eight guests and up to two well behaved pets supremely comfortable accommodation. It is spacious, sophisticated and smart with a warm and welcoming ambience.
Looe is a charming, picturesque harbour village divided into two by the River Looe. With quaint cobbled streets, independent local shops and an abundance of restaurants and pubs, it is a popular town with visitors returning year after year. Its sandy beach promises hours of fun, there’s crabbing from the quayside and the South West Coast Path passes right through the town.
Looe Cottage is perfect for entertaining large family or friend groups. The rooms are huge and the downstairs living and dining room opens easily with double doors through to the fabulous kitchen. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with excellent appliances, a Nespresso coffee machine, huge worksurfaces and a lovely central island where guests can pull up a stool and keep them company while they cook up a storm. The wallpapered feature wall is delightful and blends perfected with the pastel painted shaker style units. Light pours through the mammoth skylight. There is a separate utility room.
The elegant sage green living and dining room features a gorgeous period fireplace, sweeping floor-to-ceiling curtains decorating the huge sash windows and a gigantic television. Guests are treated to Netflix and Now TV on the smart TV, together with a music system, blue tooth speakers, PS3 and games, books, DVD’s and family board games for entertainment.
A rather grand staircase from the spacious hall takes guests upstairs to the bathrooms and bedrooms. There are two master bedrooms. One offers a gorgeous sleigh styled king-size bed, a smart TV with Netflix and stunning river and harbour views. The other, in cool grey and cream tones, boasts a king-size bed and en-suite shower room.

Location
About the surrounding area of Looe CottageIt is easy to see why visitors return to Looe year after year. Whilst retaining a working fishing port, the town entertains guests all year round. You can stand on the atmospheric quayside watching the fishing boats returning before dining on fresh fish in one of the local restaurants. You will not be disappointed. You may choose the award winning fish and chips near the river or a gourmet menu in one of the smart, trendy restaurants overlooking the harbour. It is all delicious. You can cross the bridge from East to West Looe to visit the other side of town. Looe’s main beach is a lovely golden sand sun trap featuring rockpools to explore. The Looe Marine Conservation Group run regular rockpool rambles for children of all ages. Their website gives details of the wildlife events and local family friendly adventures such as crabbing, snorkeling, bird watching, fishing and visits to Looe Island.
Looe Island was one a holy pilgrimage site. Now it is a sanctuary for wildlife and rare plants. In 2004 Looe Island was left to the Cornwall Wildlife Trust by Babs Atkins who had bought the island with her sister in the 1960’s. You will find a grey seal population sunbathing on the rocks and swimming around the island. The island is home to many nesting birds such as cormorants, shags and oystercatchers. It boasts the largest breeding colony in Cornwall of the majestic great black-backed gull. During the summer months there are frequent boat trips and guided walks. Dogs are not allowed to visit the island.
The Old Sardine Factory Heritage Centre tells the story of Looe’s maritime history. You will learn how Looe exported pilchards to Italy, sent pilgrims to Galicia and sailed across the Atlantic to catch cod off of Newfoundland. You will also learn about boat building and experience a lifeboat Shout! with state-of-the-art technology. The centre is also a climbing wall and kayaking centre.
The stunning South West Coast Path passed through Looe plus there are countless walks in the beautiful countryside surrounding the town. You may want to walk around Fowey where you can enjoy seeing Menabilly, once the home of Daphne du Maurier and the inspiration for Manderley in her novel Rebecca. Fowey is a popular sailing destination and offers a ferry service to the pretty village of Polruan opposite. Walking from Polruan towards Polperro you will pass the beautiful Lantic Bay and the horseshoe shaped West Coombe at Lansallos. Polperro is a gorgeous fishing village with steep narrow streets, pretty slate cottages and stunning views. The 36 mile walk from Looe to Boscastle is wonderful, crossing Bodmin Moor via Davidstow, Rough Tor and Brown Willy and passing through the verdant West Looe Valley.
If you fancy a scenic day out but don’t want to drive, you can take the Looe Valley train line to the historic market town of Liskeard. There are stunning views though heavily wooded valleys teeming with wildlife, glorious estuary views and rivers full of wading birds such as little egrets, grey herons, oystercatchers and curlews.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesLooe Cottage is a wonderful family holiday escape. The bunk room is ideal and the rooms are extremely spacious. There is plenty to keep children busy in Looe, from crabbing on the quayside, building sandcastles or investigating rock pools on the beach, taking boat trips, attempting the climbing wall in the Old Sardine Factory Heritage Centre or visiting the Looe Museum. The museum offers a fascination collection of smuggling memorabilia. Visitors will learn of the town’s railway heritage. There are some wonderful model boats housed in the town’s old Guildhall and Gaol. By all accounts there is also a ghost who lurks in the dark recesses!
The Adrenalin Quarry at Liskeard is a thrilling adventure with activities for all the family. Since 2009 it has been throwing visitors off cliffs on huge double zipwires. The centre boasts a giant cliff top swing, an aquapark, karting and axe throwing. There is free entry for wild swimming, sunbathing and picnics in this unique and beautifully scenic setting. The Aquapark is a massive inflatable playground with oversized trampolines, monkey bars, slides, swings and lots more. You can drive on the 800m all weather track at Kartworld. There is karting for all ages from 7 years. The Zip is the maddest attraction and offers the best views. Reaching speeds of 40mph, 50 metres high and over 490 metres long, the twin wires cross the old quarry from sheer cliffs rising on either side. There are minimum and maximum weights. You need to be brave to go on the Giant Swing. You will be winched up before you realise how much trouble you are in. The swing can take 3 people at a time so maybe the best bet is to go with other members of your family. There is a children’s playground to enjoy as well.
The Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary is four miles from Looe. It is a fascinating and informative refuge for troubled primates. The surrounding wildlife gardens and nature reserve enhance the holistic feel of the sanctuary. There are lots of children’s activity workshops as well as a bat zone, wildlife room and display room.
Fishing is big business in Looe. Visitors can try their hand with a rod and line on organised mackerel fishing trips close to the shore or big game hunters can head to meet the Gulf Stream 25 miles out to see to seek out crafty blue sharks.
Polperro’s Model Village is a popular attracton. It is literally a miniature version of the village of Polperro with many exciting references to the Cornish Myth and Legend. The Land of Legend exhibit tells seven fascinating stories from local folklore and about pirates and smugglers. A quaint model railway runs throughout the village.
For sandcastle building and swimming at the beach, you may want to head to Talland Bay Beach, Seaton Beach, Polperro Beach, Portwrinkle Beach or Lantic Bay. The choice is endless.
