  • "We had a wonderful weeks stay at Beach Retreat."

    The accommodation was perfect for us. We were a family of 3 adults and there was plenty of space for us all. We had a lovely surprise on arrival of a very tasty cream tea left for us, and some milk to make a well needed cup of tea after a long drive. The accommodation was very comfortable. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of storage. We loved the bathroom, very spacious and a lovely powerful rain shower - and a lovely bonus of under floor heating. There was plenty of seating in the lounge area, a comfy sofa with extra seating at the dining table and breakfast bar. The kitchen was very well equipped, with everything we needed. The apartment was very cosy with heating set on a timer, which was adequate for the weather we had, but there is an additional electric fire in the lounge if needed. We would not hesitate to stay again and to recommend to others. A wonderful stay. Thank you. The only tiny thing we would mention is that there was no fan, and we are a family that use a fan regularly.

    Good Evening, many thanks for your positive feedback and kind words, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We will certainly take on board the suggestion for a fan too for the future. We hope very much that you will return, and thank you for taking the time to review. Best wishes, the Beach Retreat team Property Owner

  • "Great modern property."

    Centrally located near the quayside. Very clean. Lovely welcome gift in the fridge on arrival. The nearby Indian restaurant was very good, along with Sarah’s Pasties and I would strongly recommend a visit to the Grog and Ale bar. All of the above are within a minute walk of the accommodation.

    Dear Ray, many thanks for your positive review and comments. We're delighted that you enjoyed your visit and hope you will return at some point. Best wishes, the Beach Retreat team. Property Owner

LOOE

Polperro 5 miles.

Looe is Cornwall’s second largest fishing port and hence there is always a lively maritime bustle around the quay area of East Looe, which is connected to the quieter West Looe by a seven-arched 19th century bridge over the River Looe. You can also catch the river taxi between East and West Looe. East Looe has narrow cobbled streets, twisting alleyways and plenty of tourist shops, whilst West Looe has a lovely outlook across the harbour. Looe’s viewpoint, Banjo Pier, can be reached from the quay and is a great spot to watch the returning fishing trawlers and look across the bay to Looe Island, which can be walked to occasionally at very low tides. The sandy Looe beach adjoins the pier and is very popular with families because of its safe shallow swimming and vast expanse of sand. There is also a great rock pool area at Hannafore that children will love. West Looe has a Heritage Centre that recently opened in the Old Sardine Factory with a climbing wall and a cafe and the delightful Kilminorth Woods have way marked walks through the majestic oak wood, rich in plant, insect and bird life. Apart from beach activities in this part of south east Cornwall, there are many mining remains on Bodmin Moor and in the Tamar Valley and much of the mining landscape has World Heritage status. This area of Cornwall has inspired writers, such as Daphne du Maurier and much of Bodmin Moor has inspired legends linked with King Arthur. There is much to explore in this beautiful part of Cornwall.
