Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Looe

The traditional fishing village of Looe on the South East Coast of Cornwall offers a holiday experience for the whole family. Lovely sandy beaches surround the town, and a wealth of fishing and diving is available at sea. If you wish to venture out of the town and explore the area, the Cornish coast is full of old fishing villages, such as Polperro and Mevagissey. Looe has the fortune of having a beautiful still-flowing river down the middle of it, making it very popular for sailing and water activities. You can get out on the water from a ferry ride across this river to make your own way in a canoe or kayak. Along the riverside, plenty of extraordinary Cornish holiday homes are waiting for someone to come and begin their Looe holiday right in the heart of this seaside community.

Have a go at crewing on an ex-lifeboat or a classic yacht; no matter what mode of transport you choose, you’ll be sure to enjoy every second of it. Once off the water, there are hundreds of rock pools to gaze into and lobster baskets to poke and spy on, but perhaps the best part of Looe’s immense natural offering is the size of the local seals. Basking innocently on the Cornish rocks are usually a group of seals watching the world go by. Why not organise a family trip out and see how many of these fantastic creatures you can count from the comfort of a glass-bottomed boat?

The scenery around Looe is incredible; the main beach has a beautiful pier curling around its right side, creating a lovely feel of safety for all the family and adding a slight quirk to an already magnificent Cornish beach. Looe seems to tick all the boxes for a great family holiday and shouldn’t be missed.
