Peaceful Home in Looe with Stunning Views
Summary:
This bright and spacious bungalow for four is located on a quiet cul-de-sac just a stones throw from Looe Beach.
The Space:
Inside, you will find an open-plan kitchen and diner that is well-equipped with everything you could need. There is an electric hob, an oven, dishwasher, toaster, washing machine and coffee-making equipment, as well as a selection of cook books so you can put it all together! Connected to the kitchen is the light and airy dining room, which has a lovely wooden dining table, pendant lighting and homely furnishings. Next door, the living room has been decorated with crisp white walls, pretty floral curtains and two comfortable sofas. From here you can gaze out of the massive window over the valley. The TV comes with a DVD player and games console, which is perfect for rainy days with the kids. There is also a desk space and speedy WIFI for those looking to enjoy a working holiday.
The master bedroom is located at the front of the property, boasting pretty views of the surrounding countryside and estuary. Nothing beats waking up in the comfortable king-sized bed to a cup of tea and views! The room also has ample storage space for clothes so you can pop your suitcase away and really feel at home. At the back of the bungalow is a further bedroom with two single beds which can be made up as a king on request. These share a family bathroom equipped with both a shower and bath, as well as a separate WC next door. The property is also well-equipped for young children, providing a cot, high-chair and children's dinnerware.
Outside, there is a pretty garden with an outside dining set for sunny alfresco dinners. From the back garden there is a gate which leads directly into a meadow with sea views. From here you can take a beautiful coastal walk, which is also a handy short cut down to Looe. The bungalow's quiet yet convenient location makes it the perfect place to enjoy pretty Looe and everything it has to offer! Private parking space for 1 car.

The Neighborhood:
The bungalow is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in Looe, just a stones throw from the beach and harbour. You can walk to the water's edge within 10 minutes, and here you will find a great selection of shops, cafes and pubs. The seaside town of Looe keeps visitors entertained all year round whilst still retaining a working fishing port. Stand on the quayside in the evening and watch the boats return before dining on fresh fish in a local restaurant. The town prides itself on it's fresh fish, so it's not difficult to find award winning fish and chips! We'd suggest trying The Old Sail Loft, Smugglers Cott and The Sardine Factory for dinner - but do book as it can get very busy in high season!
Looe Beach is a great spot for families, offering soft golden sand and safe swimming conditions. It is easily accessible from the property, just a 10 minute walk! We'd also recommend taking a trip out to Looe Island, once a holy pilgrimage site now a a sanctuary for rare plants and wildlife. It’s here you’ll find a grey seal population sunbathing on the rocks!
Looe is also a great place for walking and the South West Coast Path passes right through the town. From here, you can walk all the way to Seaton or south to Polperro. You're in a brilliant spot to explore Cornwall's gorgeous south coast. Within a 25-minute drive, you could be on the white sand beaches of Lantic Bay and in 45-minutes in bustling Fowey.
Getting Around:
Due to the remote nature of Cornwall, we would suggest visiting with a car. That being said, the property is conveniently located within walking distance of many of Looe's amenities including the beach and harbour. There is 1 carport outside the property with space for 1 vehicle.
There is also a train station in Looe with regular trains running to Liskeard - this is a 14-minute walk from the property. At Liskeard, you can pick up one of the regular trains that runs from Penzance to London Paddington - stopping off at Exeter St Davids, Bristol, Bath and Reading.
