Harbourside Retreat is a well-equipped second-floor apartment enjoying a prime position on the Quay in Looe, Cornwall.
Overlooking the river towards West Looe and just a short walk from the beach, this pet-friendly holiday home is well suited to families and groups of friends seeking a traditional Cornish coastal break.
After arriving in Looe, leave the car in one of the nearby public car parks and make your way through the bustling streets to the apartment.
Guests arriving by train can also enjoy a short stroll from Looe station, taking in glimpses of the waterfront before reaching the property.
Climb the stairs to the apartment and step inside, where the river views immediately draw your attention.
The sitting and dining area is the heart of the home, offering a lovely place to settle down with a morning coffee while watching boats drift along the water or gather together in the evening to discuss the day's adventures.
When hunger calls, head into the kitchen to prepare everything from leisurely breakfasts to hearty suppers, before returning to the dining area to enjoy meals overlooking the ever-changing river scene.
After a day spent exploring Cornwall, sink into the seating with a favourite film on the TV, catch up online using the WiFi, or simply relax while watching life unfold along the quayside.
As evening arrives, make your way to one of the two bedrooms.
The double bedroom provides a restful place to unwind, while the family room, featuring a single bunk above a double bed, is ideal for children or friends sharing.
Wake each morning feeling refreshed before enjoying a soak in the bath or a shower in the family bathroom, ready for another day of coastal exploration.
Throughout your stay, gas central heating ensures a pleasant atmosphere whatever the season.
The balcony is a real highlight, providing a private spot to sit with a drink and admire far-reaching views across the river towards West Looe.
From your doorstep, you'll find shops, pubs, restaurants, the riverside, and the beach all within an easy walk, meaning you can leave the car behind and enjoy much of Looe on foot.
Beyond the town, Polperro makes a wonderful day out, where you can wander winding cottage-lined lanes, admire the historic fishing harbour, and browse independent galleries showcasing local artists.
Fowey also lies within easy reach and offers attractive waterfront walks, boat trips along the estuary, and a selection of cafés and independent shops overlooking the water.
