Central Looe Location
This Victorian guesthouse is in Looe, with views across the harbor. It is a 10-minute walk from Old Guildhall Museum and Gaol, and 0.5 miles from Hannafore Beach. The medieval town offers high-street shops, traditional pubs, and restaurants. Polperro Harbour is 0.7 miles away, and the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty begins at the property's edge.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. Free onsite parking is provided. The staff can arrange information about local attractions including Polperro Model Village, Adrenalin Quarry, and St Catherine's Castle.
“In my opinion, this Victorian guest house distinguishes itself with harbour views and dedicated parking, simplifying visits to the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty; I especially appreciate the full English breakfast served each morning. Its proximity to both the beach and Looe's high street makes it ideal for travellers seeking seaside charm, while the building offers a unique, romantic experience.”
