Verbena

This charming property, situated in the foodie haven of West Looe, is ideal for a relaxing family holiday or a get-together with friends. Sleeping six across three comfortable bedrooms, this former sail loft is the perfect base for exploring this stunning part of South East Cornwall. East Looe Beach is less than a mile’s walk away, while seasoned walkers may prefer to walk 5 miles along the South West Coast Path to Polperro Beach and soak up the atmosphere in the pretty village. This holiday home is laid out over three floors and has a bright and airy feel. Take a step up straight into the open-plan living area where you can snuggle up on the sofas in front of the flame-effect electric fire, or chat with the family chef at the breakfast bar while they cook up a storm in the kitchen. Exposed wood beams, low ceilings and beautiful tiled floors remind you of how old this Grade II-listed property is. Watch your head in the eaves of the twin bedrooms! Take a boat trip to the Looe Island Nature Reserve with Looe Sea Safari (1 mile) where you may see nesting birds, grey seals and lots of wildflower meadows. Children may prefer to see the delightful monkeys at Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary (4.5 miles) or the rescued exotic animals at Porfell Wildlife Park (8 miles). Go for leisurely strolls around the National Trust’s Lanhydrock House and Garden (17 miles), or enjoy something a bit more adventurous at Siblyback Lake (14 miles) where you can try your hand at water sports, go cycling or walk the easy woodland trails.
