Why stay in Looe

Looe is quieter than Newquay or St Ives but far from dull. The harbour is the heart of the town, and the combination of fresh seafood, coastal walks, and a sandy beach makes it ideal for families and couples looking for an authentic Cornish experience without the crowds.

What’s on your doorstep

  • East Looe Beach - sandy beach right in the centre of town
  • Looe Island - uninhabited island a mile offshore, boat trips available in summer
  • The Looe Valley Line - scenic railway to Liskeard, connecting to the main London-Penzance line
  • Polperro - picture-perfect fishing village, 25 minutes’ walk along the coast path
  • Monkey Sanctuary - just outside Looe, home to rescued woolly monkeys

Practical advantages

Most holiday homes in Looe are within walking distance of everything - restaurants, shops, the beach, and the quay. This makes Looe one of the few Cornwall destinations where you can genuinely leave the car parked for your entire stay.
