The Gulls

This fabulous home is ideal for a large group of friends or family to enjoy a relaxing holiday on the beautiful south Cornwall coast. Set within a few hundred metres of the town and the beach this home is great for enjoying car-free days out. The vibrant waterfront has an abundance of independent cafes and restaurants for dining out. While the pretty winding streets of the town centre have an array of shops and boutiques to browse. The town is laid out on either side of the River Looe and this home is located in sought-after West Looe right on the waterfront. The coastal path winds its way within a few hundred metres of the house and from there you can stride out along the impressive coastline. Alternatively, visitors can take a boat trip from the harbour to see the marine wildlife on and around Looe Island, or spend a happy afternoon rock pooling at Hannafore Beach. The charming fishing village of Polperro is 5 miles down the coast, or head inland to the historic market town of Liskeard 9 miles away.

When it comes to the views, this home certainly has the wow factor with panoramic vistas out across the town, river and golden sands. The open-plan living and dining area make the most of the home’s commanding position on a coastal hillside. With comfortable sofas gathered around a feature fireplace the living area is spacious and welcoming. The dining table is positioned within a window alcove with glass on three sides. This is the spot for gazing out at the sweeping views beyond. It is perfect for family dinners, especially at sunset when the lights of the town start to twinkle down below. The kitchen is separated from the living room by a breakfast bar, so it’s a very sociable place to cook. On the first floor, there is a king-size bedroom with fantastic sea views and an en-suite bathroom. A second double bedroom with en-suite completes the first floor. There are two further bedrooms on the second floor. One is a lovely double with an en-suite bathroom, and the other is a large king-size room with an en-suite bathroom and sea views. The zip-and-link bed in this room can be separated to become two single beds if requested.

Outside there is a narrow, paved terrace with some outdoor seating, but with the beach so close, you are spoiled with space to stroll.
