The house is close to the beach and harbour as well as the town's many cafes, restaurants and pubs. It is very well equipped for modern-day living yet steeped in a rich history with many original features including beamed and gabled ceilings and offers discerning guests a flavour of days long gone. The house has the benefit of wifi internet access. With quality furniture and soft furnishings throughout, guests will appreciate the attention to detail. The house is normally let from Saturday to Saturday during the peak season but we offer long weekend breaks during other times. The house is ideally situated just a few paces from East Looe’s sandy beach, historic harbour and many cafes, bars and restaurants. It is a no-smoking property and we regret that we can't take pets or support animals. Joining instructions are usually sent out 2 - 3 weeks before arrival. Guests can normally access the house from 5.00 pm on the first day, although we will our best to get you in well before this. We ask that your accommodation be vacated by 9.00 am on the day of departure. Unfortunately, our cleaning company dictates these times, although we will do our very best to extend these. We're based locally and never far away. This coastal location in South-East Cornwall is in an area of outstanding natural beauty and is a perfect escape from the urban hustle & bustle. Looe itself is divided by the river and the old town has a maze of alleyways and back streets to explore as well as the banjo pier and sandy beach. Looe has all sorts of galleries and shops and there are numerous restaurants, pubs and cafes too. The harbour is the perfect place to watch the world go by and Looe is a thriving fishing town. Further afield, explore the picturesque village of Polperro whose tiny harbour was once a hub for brandy and tobacco smuggling. Or take a walk along the coastal path and enjoy the spectacular Cornish scenery. Looe is a great base from which to explore Cornwall and nearby you will find the Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Restormel Castle. The house has the benefit of allocated parking for two cars (one space is in the Beachside carpark at the end of the street, the other is an allocated space in the Millpool carpark which is 7 - 8 minutes away on foot). Guests are welcome to drive to the top of Higher Chapel Street, just a few yards from the entrance, to unload and load etc. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer ### Entertainment - TV ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 1,076 square feet ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109620000/109612900/109612860/418100c2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Historic Osborne House very close to the beach The Quay - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Parking available 9.6 Exceptional 46 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-23&endDate=2025-10-24&selected=109612860&PinnedHotelID=109612860&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/73000000/72130000/72123800/72123713/d97dd119.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sea front house.Stunning views, Dog friendly, 100m to beach, Hot Tub.EV Charger Looe - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-23&endDate=2025-10-24&selected=72123713&PinnedHotelID=72123713&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74070000/74068900/74068856/47d865b6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Decker Apartment - stunning beachside accommodation in East Looe Looe - Kitchen - Washer - Outdoor space - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-23&endDate=2025-10-24&selected=74068856&PinnedHotelID=74068856&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88270000/88262900/88262801/9610a530.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful 3 bedroom cottage in the heart of Looe The Quay - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-23&endDate=2025-10-24&selected=88262801&PinnedHotelID=88262801&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33600000/33595100/33595060/036a5a35.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful 2 bed apartment, tastefully furnished with breathtaking views.
