About this property
Lovely Flat In West Looe With Spectacular Sea & Harbour Views - Non Smokers Only
11 Harbourside is a lovely one bedroom self catering holiday apartment occupying what must be the finest position in West Looe standing high on the curve of the river with outstanding views of Looe Harbour, the Banjo pier, the beach and out to sea. Having such stunning views means that you can enjoy staying in the flat at any time of the year. On and off-season Looe has plenty to offer.
The flat is perfect for a couple: 1 double bedroom, a well fitted kitchen and a delightful sitting/dining room which has French doors leading to a Juliet balcony from where you can enjoy the stunning uninterrupted river and sea views of Looe.
Please note we only want to accept bookings from non smokers - if you are a smoker please do not book. We have a zero tolerance policy on smoking in or around the flat and a full damage deposit is taken if there is any evidence of smoking.
There is a well-appointed bathroom and the apartment benefits from gas central heating. Free wi-fi is also included. (Please click on more details below to read on)
There is no direct parking space with the flat, but there is a drop off point when you arrive and leave the flat with your luggage, and there is plenty of free parking less than 10 minutes walk away. We have never had any problem finding a parking space. If you prefer, pay parking is available at a similar distance.
The front entrance to the flat does have a number of stairs (although there is a lift). However, the extra height gained is worth it! There is also a very accessible back entrance leading onto a tarmacked footpath that to the right leads down a short steep slope into the centre of West Looe where there are several shops and cafes, and a grocery shop and delicatessen. To the left out of the building a very much gentler path leads into a quiet road to take you to where there is free parking on the roadside.
The centre of West Looe with its delightful harbour, shops, restaurants, and quaint olde pubs including the "Jolly Sailor Inn" reputedly the oldest in Looe are only a two minute walk with busier East Looe, accessible during the season by passenger ferry or by a charming ten minute walk via historic Looe bridge. East Looe offers the visitor a host of pubs, restaurants and shops, as well as the local sandy beach and boat trips.
Walking west from the flat you will see Looe Island opposite the sea front and small beach area. There is also a characterful seaside café next to tennis courts. Going further west will take you onto the lovely coastal path to Polperro via Talland where there is also a beach café.
Harbourside was converted from the former Bodrigan Hotel in 2005 into 12 luxury apartments each with their own private entrance with number 11 being a penthouse/loft apartment.
As much as we love children, the flat is not recommended for very young children due to the balcony.
Please note that the flat is strictly for non smoking guests only. And sorry no pets
We do also have two single sit on Kayaks available in West Looe (one Ocean Frenzy and one Feel Free Nomad). We are happy to let guests use these at their own risk for fee of £75 per week plus a security deposit. Please do ask for further details if you are interested.
Finally, if you want a car free holiday, Looe has the benefit of a branch line train service connecting with the main line to London from Liskeard. This operates all year round.
Please note this is a strictly no smoking property. If you smoke - look elsewhere and do not book

The apartment is in the very best position to look out of thefrench doors to see all the activities about the bed was really comfy and the ambience is lovley
The apartment is in a lovely spot with beautiful views. Everything you need for a stress free stay is supplied. It was spotless and I would stay there any time.
The information that was given with regard to parking and access had all the necessary detail and made checking in a breeze after a long drive.
A small but clean and comfortable apartment. The views were stunning and as the weather was a mixed bag we spent lots of time gazing out of the window. The only slight negative was the bed was firmer than we like, but it wouldn't put us off from staying again.
Would definitely recommend to others.
Apartment was wonderful and perfect location and view. A suggestion for a comfy chair to replace old cane chair and a new lounge/sofa.. .plus a longer shower hose please. If we lived in UK we would return frequently. Australia a little far away. Thank you.
Our third visit to this apartment, 2019,2023,2025. We love this setting, magnificent view, clean,functional, modern kitchen/bathroom. We always discover something new, great walks from your front door. Can't wait to come back to Looe!!!!!! Doc Martin DVD's always great.
Mooi en schoon appartement met een geweldig uitzicht. De badkamer is schoon en heeft alles maar douchen is niet prettig omdat je dan op je knieën in bad moet zitten. Ook wil de kraan niet overschakelen van bad naar douche waardoor er echt maar een mager straaltje uitkomt. Dit gemeld maar werd helaas niet verholpen.
Amazing Property and location, the ever changing views across the harbour and out to sea made the holiday !!!! without hesitation we would certainly book again!!!
Great in all respects. Once you work out parking and how to get in the back way (not a great effort) it is perfect for two. Walks, beaches, eating out, all first rate. Well worth it. Thank you.
The appartment is ideally situated on Hannafore with spectacular views, it is immaculately furnished and has a nice homely feel. I will definitely recommend this property to friends and hopefully will return.
Perfect short stay in a lovely flat in a lovely town
Everything about the property was perfect for us. The flat is small but has absolutely everything that might be needed for a short stay. We chose not to cook but the kitchen seems to have everything needed if you chose to do so.
The bed was comfy , bathroom clean and had a bath which was a luxury for my partner who prefers to bath than shower.
The flat is on the upper floor so a bit of an uphill trek to get to and is in the eaves. This means there is limited headroom in some areas but this adds to the charm and was not an issue at all and gives the added bonus of such
spectacular views . The location has to be one of the best in Looe for those views and for us was perfect for walking around the town and further afield.
We loved the flat and Looe
Our third stay in 4 years at this property. Always clean and well equipped and the views are amazing in all directions.
Our only negative is the unsafe place to unload and having to park nearly half an hour away if you are luvky enough to find a space.
Overall would recommend
