"Downderry", a delightful two bedroom compact apartment sleeping 3 in two bedrooms, with the master bedroom and the lounge/dining room overlooking spectacular coastal views across Banjo Pier all the way to Rame Head. Fabulous windows to watch the comings a goings of a variety of boats in Looe harbour. This cosy beautifully equipped property is very comfortable and well placed to explore the West side of Looe, with the stunning coastal walk to Talland Bay and Polperro, or to venture across the other side of the harbour, either via the charming foot ferry or stroll a bit further across the bridge, into the bustling town of Looe and the sandy beach, that's if you can tear yourself away from the sparkling outlook from the apartment.
Please Note: The property is not suitable for children under 4 years old, due to the fairly steep internal steps up to the living/dining/kitchen.
No outside space
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.
A holiday in Looe offers a convenient base for enjoying the diverse range of things to do in the seaside town and the surrounding South East Cornish coastline.
