With its central location, you'll have the convenience of exploring all the local sights, sounds, and flavours with ease. Our apartments are designed to cater to your every need, ensuring a memorable stay. Get ready to create lasting memories in a space that's just as unique and welcoming as the surrounding town.

Welcome to Looe, a true Cornish gem where the hustle and bustle of a working harbour blend seamlessly with tranquil vibes, creating a scene that's as vibrant as it is peaceful. Imagine watching the fishing boats as they dance on the waves, coming in and out of the harbour – it's a sight to behold and a testament to the ever-present pulse of this coastal haven.

Nestled snugly on either side of the lovely River Looe, our town is a tale of two halves, each with its own unique character, yet united by a charming seven-arched bridge. It's a walker's delight over here! You can meander along the banks, soaking up the quaint beauty and discovering little nooks and crannies that just add to the charm of this place.

Oh, and have you heard about Looe Island? Some call it St George's Island, but whatever you call it, it's our little slice of nature reserve heaven. Hop on a boat and before you know it, you're in the midst of rare birds and curious marine life – it's like stepping into your very own wildlife documentary!

If sand between your toes is what you're after, then East Looe Beach is your go-to spot. It's perfect for family fun, a swim in the sea, or just lazing under the sun. And if you're keen on exploring further, just a stone's throw away are Plaidy and Millendreath beaches waiting to be discovered.

Now, let's talk about Banjo Pier – it's not just any pier; it’s our pride and joy. Stroll along its length and feel the embrace of spectacular sea views and that fresh Cornish air. And as the day wanes, catch one of our famous sunsets; they're nothing short of magical.

Fancy yourself an angler? Or maybe you're just curious about our fishing heritage? Join in on one of the local fishing trips! It’s your chance to reel in your own catch and bask in the authentic Looe experience.

For the walkers and the wonderers, Looe is a treasure trove with the South West Coast Path carving its way through. The coastal walks here? Simply sublime – with panoramas that'll leave you speechless and reaching for your camera.

And let’s not forget about food – oh, the seafood! It doesn't get fresher than this. Our restaurants serve up the catch of the day alongside hearty Cornish favourites that'll have you coming back for more.

History buffs, we've got something for you too! Take a step back in time at the Old Guildhall Museum & Gaol or pay a visit to the 16th-century St Mary's Church. It's like traveling through time without leaving the present.

So come on down to Looe, where natural splendour meets maritime legacy, all wrapped up in a warm Cornish welcome. Can't wait to see you here!

By Foot

Looe is quite compact, so it's easy to explore on foot, especially around the harbour, the beach and the town centre.

By Car

If you're driving, there are car parks, but during peak seasons, parking can be challenging due to the narrow streets and limited spaces (see below).

By Bus

Local buses connect Looe with nearby towns and villages. The main bus service is provided by Go Cornwall Bus.

By Train

The Looe Valley Line connects Looe with Liskeard, where you can transfer to mainline services.
