7 Rock Towers is a superbly situated 1st floor, two bedroomed apartment, offering wonderful unrestricted views from the large living room window across to the sandy beach in East Looe and the notable Banjo Pier. This comfortable holiday residence has been agreeably furnished and well equipped, it also has the added bonus of its own parking bay, and offers a super base from which to explore the local area or to visit other parts of Cornwall. West Looe is more peaceful than the bustling East Looe on the other side of the estuary, but this provides the visitor with the best of both worlds, access to a wide range of vibrant restaurants, inns, and shops in East Looe, and then back to the tranquillity of Rock Towers location, where small local shops, restaurants and pubs are within walking distance. For those who like to get out and explore by foot, there are the nearby tennis courts and bowling green right on your doorstep, or venture further by way of the fabulous walks along the South West Costal path right outside your door.
There is a communal middle rear terrace, via the back door to the apartments, with a picnic bench and rotary airer washing lines.
The bustling town of Looe is divided by the ever-changing river that separates quieter West Looe from the absorbing waterfront of East Looe, with its diversity of shops, restaurants and pubs, Banjo pier and sandy beach.
The pace and routine of life in Looe follows the ebb and flow of the tide and the movement of boats returning with their catch of fresh fish. Local boatman can ferry visitors to and from either quay, or alternatively, you can enjoy a pleasant cruise along the beautiful and rugged coastline, keeping an eye out for the schools of dolphins that can often be spotted in the bay.
A guided tour will draw you deeper into the labyrinth of ancient buildings, clustered together in the narrow streets and courtyards that make up the old town of East Looe. Visit the 16th century Old Guildhall museum with its interesting exhibits detailing the town's diverse history, or relax and just while away the hours on the wonderful sandy beach, separated from the river mouth by the Banjo Pier.
The South East Cornish coastline is dotted with lovely beaches, hidden coves, and pretty seaside villages to explore. You can also join the magnificent South West Coast Path to enjoy bracing cliff top walks with spectacular views.
For a different kind of day out, the Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary is just outside Looe, providing vital refuge for primates in need, and a fascinating family activity whilst supporting a great cause.
