Seaside Apartment

About this property

Seaside Apartment is a charming first-floor retreat resting in the vibrant coastal town of Looe, Cornwall, just moments from the beach and scenic coastal paths. Its elevated position offers a gentle sense of escape while keeping you close to the town’s lively atmosphere. Step inside to find a well-equipped kitchen, ideal for preparing simple meals before settling into the living/dining room, where the electric fire brings a warm glow on cooler evenings. Soft light filters through the windows, creating a pleasant setting for unhurried mornings or relaxed evenings after exploring the shoreline. The double bedroom, complete with an en-suite walk-in shower, provides a private space to refresh and unwind, while the terrace offers a welcome spot to pause and enjoy the sea air.

Outside, Looe’s bustling harbour, narrow streets, and sandy beach are all within easy reach. Wander along the shoreline, watch fishing boats return with the day’s catch, or follow the coastal path for sweeping views and invigorating walks. A short journey brings you to Polperro, a picture-perfect fishing village where steep lanes, traditional cottages, and local craft shops create a timeless charm. Further along the coast, Fowey offers riverside strolls, independent boutiques, and a rich literary heritage that adds depth to any visit. For a change of pace, Liskeard provides a glimpse into Cornwall’s inland character, with historic buildings, local markets, and easy access to the surrounding countryside.

With its central location and easy access to both coast and countryside, Seaside Apartment offers a pleasant base for discovering the varied landscapes and welcoming towns that define this beautiful part of Cornwall. Note: This property can be booked with ref. 1196549, together sleeping up to four people.

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.
