About this property
Nesden House is an appealing three-storey house in Looe, Cornwall, boasting harbour, estuary, and sea views, and a furnished balcony. Welcoming eight guests, it is well placed for families and groups of friends seeking days beside the Cornish coast. Enter the open-plan living space and watch boats pass along the water through the fully glazed patio doors. Gather in the sitting area for an evening around the Smart TV, or let the coastal breeze drift inside as the balcony doors stand open. The kitchen forms the heart of this sociable room, with an electric range oven, breakfast area, and dining table providing several settings for shared meals.
Step onto the furnished balcony and take in views across Looe, the estuary, and the sea beyond. Elsewhere, the snug provides an additional place to watch television or spend time apart from the main gathering space. Three bedrooms occupy the first floor, including one with its own veranda, while a shower room serves this storey. On the second floor, a twin sits alongside a further shower room, creating flexible arrangements for a multigenerational family or group, as well as a room with beanbags ideal for the children to play in. Outside, East Looe invites you to follow its cobbled streets towards the quay, browse the tourist shops, and spend an afternoon on Looe Beach.
Cross to West Looe for harbour views and a different perspective across the water. Venture onwards to Polperro and discover another Cornish coastal village, or travel inland to Liskeard during a wider exploration of the county. Fowey is also within reach for a change of scenery beside the water. Back in Looe, a choice of eateries, shops, and family-friendly attractions keeps days varied, while the harbour offers an atmospheric setting for an evening walk. Bring everyone together for a memorable Cornish getaway at Nesden House. Note: This property can be booked with refs. 1206201 and 1206203, 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.
