Beaches in the area

Looe beach is our nearest beach, very sandy and safe for swimming with lots of entertainment and cafes to hand. No dogs allowed here but they are at Hannafore (no parking charges) and plenty of cafes and level walking as well as rock pools for young children. Plaidy beach is to the East of Looe which also accepts dogs and is rather a nice sheltered location unfortunately there are no cafes here.

Seaton and Downderry the owners favourite beaches good safe swimming with lots of good pubs and cafes for lunch or tea, Seaton has quite good surf for the adventurous.

Kingsand and Cawsand these are charming beaches and the towns themselves have real appeal, several pubs and cafes

Lantic Bay A little known quite deserted charming beach but quite a walk to reach it but worth it. Alternatively, a boat trip would be ideal.

Whitsand Bay a very sandy beach but good golden sand. However, quite a climb down so don’t forget anything!

The North coast is worth a visit being only one hour away.

Our Local Towns

Looe is our nearest town being just under two miles away. Fabulous sandy beach, scores of great pubs and cafes also rather wonderful restaurants serving fish and other favourites. A wealth of shops including some excellent boutiques for all ages.

Polperro is smaller than Looe but worth a visit. Several shops and good eating places. Pub offering live music on certain nights.

Liskeard is our nearest market town. Good fun to take the train up from Looe, a very pretty line. Morrisons supermarket, farmers market, banks and some interesting shops for presents to take home, a few good clothing shops

Plymouth is well worth a visit. This is a large naval port and in August holds an open event called ‘Navy Days’ . The Hoe and Barbican are very interesting with boat trips leaving daily. Good eating places here, Captain Jasper’s Fish and Chips, a firm favourite. The main city centre and new Arcade house all the large well known shops with a few surf type shops in between. Plymouth boasts a wonderful cinema complex and the theatre royal

Truro is the capital of Cornwall with a beautiful cathedral. Many unique shops and a flagship Marks and Spencer here. There may be something good on at Hall for Cornwall, a theatre right in the centre of the city. Good eateries and fabulous shops.
