The Old Barbican

The Old Barbican is a detached 18th-century period house in East Looe, sleeping six across three bedrooms and four bathrooms. The property rates 9.5 out of 10 through Cornish Traditional Cottages based on 20 guest reviews, and welcomes dogs.

Inside, rooms are scaled to the period of the building, with an open fire, dishwasher and washing machine among the fittings. Wi-Fi runs throughout, and the layout accommodates families or two couples sharing. Step-free access is available for guests with mobility needs.

Outside, there is a private garden and on-site parking. East Looe sits at the mouth of the river, with the working fish quay, Banjo Pier and the sandy East Looe Beach within a short walk from the door. The harbour hosts a weekly market and daily catches come in to the quay from the inshore fleet.

Looe itself divides between the busier east side and the quieter West Looe across the bridge, with the South West Coast Path running through both. Polperro is six miles west along the coast path, Fowey and Polruan are a short drive and ferry hop further on, and Plymouth is within easy reach for day trips.
