About this property
Harbour Lodge is an appealing three-storey house in Looe, Cornwall, featuring harbour, estuary, and sea views, a furnished balcony, and off-road parking for one car. Welcoming seven guests, it offers families and friends an attractive setting close to the beach and Looe Harbour. Enter the open-plan living space and watch the changing waterfront scene through the fully glazed patio doors. Sofas and chairs provide room for everyone to gather around the Smart TV, while the woodburning stove casts a warm glow across evenings spent sharing stories from the day. In the kitchen, prepare family favourites using the electric oven and hob before bringing plates to the dining area for a meal together.
Slide open the doors and carry a drink onto the furnished balcony, where boats travel across the estuary and the views extend towards the sea. Four bedrooms provide flexible sleeping arrangements, comprising two king-size with en-suite shower rooms, a twin, and a single. Begin your adventures in Looe, strolling beside the harbour before following the streets towards the beach for paddling, sandcastle building, and seaside games. Discover East Looe and its waterfront atmosphere, then cross the river to explore West Looe and admire the harbour from a different perspective. Further afield, wander through the coastal village of Polperro, plan a visit to the inland town of Liskeard, or head to Fowey for another day beside Cornwall’s waterways.
Closer to the property, the nearby lake offers a change from the coast, while local shops make it easy to collect treats for a balcony supper. As evening settles over the estuary, return to light the stove or watch the harbour from outside. Make shared coastal memories at Harbour Lodge. Note: This property can be booked with refs. 1206202 and 1206201, together sleeping up to 19 guests.
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.
