Beach Retreat

Beach Retreat is a 2-bedroom apartment at Middleton Lodge in Looe, sleeping 4 with 1 bathroom. East Looe Beach is 100 metres from the building - a broad sandy beach at the mouth of the Looe River that is one of the most accessible in south Cornwall. The fish market, harbour quay, and several restaurants sit within a short walk of the property.

The apartment has Wi-Fi, parking, dishwasher, and washing machine included - practical for a family or two couples sharing. No garden, but the beach and harbour are the outdoor space here. Dogs are welcome. Hannafore Beach is 900m to the west, and Plaidy Beach 1.2km, both quieter alternatives to the busier East Looe strand. Rated 4/10 from 4 Sykes reviews, which is a small sample.

The coast path west towards Polperro starts from Hannafore Point, around 1km from the property. The walk to Polperro takes roughly 2 hours each way and follows the clifftop with views across the bay - a reliable half-day out without needing a car. East and West Looe are connected by a bridge with the town spread across both banks of the river estuary.

Suitable for families or two couples wanting a beach-facing base in a working fishing town. Good for guests who want to walk to the beach from the front door and access south coast coast path routes. Less good for anyone needing a garden or wanting seclusion from the town. Friday changeover. Lower Street location puts you in the heart of East Looe rather than on the quieter outskirts.
