Wonderful Looe Retreat

This charming property, situated in the foodie destination of West Looe, is perfect for small families or couples that are looking for a restful break in a wonderful part of South East Cornwall. Sleeping four over two tranquil bedrooms, this property has a delightful coastal theme running throughout that reminds you of how close you are to the seaside. Take your pick of seating on the tiered terraces and relax with a drink in hand, looking out towards East Looe Beach and the sea.

Take the steps up to the house and enter into the beautiful lounge where a wood-panelled feature wall and grey, blue and yellow tones give it a beach hut feel. A stunning window seat offers the ideal place to read a book while looking out across the cliffs. The bright and airy kitchen diner is ideal for whipping up meals; dine alfresco on the patio at the front or terraces to the rear to make the most of the sunshine. Upstairs, the peaceful bedrooms invite you to have a good night's sleep; drift off among the blue tones of the sea and wake up invigorated and ready to explore.

Head off to the sandy East Looe Beach just across the bridge (1.5 miles) where the children will love making sand castles, or visit the crystal-clear waters of Polperro Beach (5 miles) that's accessible from the South West Coast Path. Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary (5 miles) is always a hit, and you can't miss the Eden Project (22.5 miles) while you're in the area. Book a boat trip out to wildlife-rich Looe Island with Looe Sea Safari (1.5 miles) where you may see grey seals and nesting birds. And for a leisurely stroll and a bit of history, visit Lanhydrock House and Garden (17.5 miles).
