Lamorna Looe

Lamorna Looe is a four-bedroom hillside house for eight above Looe's working harbour. Two bedrooms have king-size beds and the other two are twins, with two bathrooms serving the group across the house, both with a claw-foot bath.

The contemporary interior keeps some original features, and a covered terrace plus garden give the group outdoor space. The kitchen has an electric range cooker with two ovens, a grill and six hobs, plus a fridge/freezer, dishwasher and Tassimo coffee machine. The living room has a feature electric fireplace. Wi-Fi, parking, a dishwasher and washing machine are included, and up to two dogs can stay. The hillside position means some walking uphill from the harbour, which may matter to guests with limited mobility.

East Looe Beach is under half a mile away, sheltered by the harbour walls and lifeguarded in summer. Plaidy Beach is 0.7 miles east along the coast path, a quieter mixed sand-and-shingle stretch, while Hannafore Beach on the West Looe side is 0.9 miles and known for rock pooling. Looe Island, a Cornwall Wildlife Trust reserve, sits offshore, and the town's harbourside cafes and shops are a short walk downhill.

**Best for:** two families wanting separate king and twin rooms, laundry facilities and a short walk to the harbour. **Less good for:** guests needing step-free access.
