The Creekside

The Creekside is a second-floor apartment in Looe on the south-east Cornwall coast, sleeping 4 across 2 bedrooms. The apartment has a king-size double and a flexible twin that converts to a zip-link king, making it practical for two couples or a family. Rated 10 from 97 reviews on Sykes.

The interior is open-plan with underfloor heating throughout and a Juliet balcony - a useful feature in an apartment without outdoor space of its own. Netflix is included alongside Wi-Fi, and the kitchen has a dishwasher and washing machine. One parking space is allocated, which matters in Looe where town centre parking is limited.

East Looe Beach is about 600 metres away - a sheltered sandy beach in the town centre, good for swimming and rock pooling at low tide. Plaidy Beach is roughly 1.3 miles east along the coast path, quieter and less crowded. The working harbour, fish restaurants, and independent shops along Looe's narrow streets are all within easy reach on foot. The Looe Valley railway line runs from nearby Liskeard, giving a car-free route in from the mainline.

**Best for:** two couples or small families wanting a central Looe base, low-maintenance coastal stays, guests relying on public transport via the Looe Valley line. **Less good for:** dog owners (dog-friendly beaches in Looe are limited), anyone needing outdoor space or a garden, groups of more than 4.
