Cornwall » Looe accommodation

Looe is situated on both sides of the river of the same name. It has been a holiday resort for more than 200 years, and has relayed more heavily on the tourist industry since its pilchard canning factory closed in the sixties.

There are plenty of boating and fishing trips setting out from the harbour during the season. In addition, there are several beaches very close to the town. On a rainy day, there is always the Old Guildhall Museum.

Not far from Looe, is the smaller port of Polperro. Although this is still a quaint old Cornish fishing village from a distance, closer inspection reveals a surfeit of touristy gift shops. However, the narrow streets and pretty cottages are still undeniably attractive.
