Historic Oceanfront Retreat: The Old Vicarage in Looe | Cottage in Looe, United Kingdom
4 Bedroom Cottage with Ocean View, Balcony and Fireplace
Spacious yet cosy, historic yet stylish, The Old Vicarage is a characterful 400 year old, Grade II listed Cornish cottage situated in the heart of ancient Looe’s quaint town centre and a minute’s stroll to the beach.
Redecorated and refurbished to a high standard, The Old Vicarage (which is arranged over three floors) can accommodate up to 8 guests (with extra sleeping capacity for a baby in a travel cot). It includes a wood burning stove (ideal for creating a cosy cottage atmosphere, especially during winter evenings), a private courtyard garden and a large Jacuzzi bath (perfect after a day spent enjoying any one of Looe’s excellent outdoor activities).
The cottage is an inviting and well-equipped holiday home - perfect for summer or winter escapes.
ABOUT LOOE:
The town of Looe is approximately seven miles (11 km) south of Liskeard. It is divided in two by the River Looe - East Looe (Cornish: Logh, meaning deep water inlet) and West Looe (Cornish: Porthbyhan, meaning little cove), which are connected by a bridge.
The town centres around a small harbour and along the steep-sided valley of the River Looe which flows between East and West Looe to the sea beside a sandy beach. Off shore to the west, opposite the stonier Hannafore Beach, lies the idyllic St George's Island, otherwise known as Looe Island.
East Looe centres on its broad sandy beach, with the distinctive Banjo Pier (the creation of Joseph Thomas, who lived at The Old Vicarage), a new lifeboat station and St Mary's Church. Stretching back from the church is a grid of narrow streets forming the main business area of the town, packed with many small shops, restaurants and pubs. Along the estuary lies the quay with its fish merchants. Towards Looe Bridge lies the Victorian Guildhall (which is now a museum), and just north of the bridge the railway station. This is the terminus of the Looe Valley branch line to Liskeard (at Liskeard, the line connects with the main Plymouth to Penzance Great Western Main Line and to London Paddington).
On the hilltop above East Looe lies Shutta. Along the cliffs to the east is Plaidy Beach, and further on the bay and village of Millendreath with another gorgeous beach.
Towards the end of September, Looe hosts a famous music festival on the local beach that should not be missed (see our gallery for photographs).
On New Year's Eve, Looe provides a surprisingly exciting and large celebration. This small, quaint seaside town is host to an influx of visitors. People flock to the streets in their hundreds, wearing fancy dress, a tradition upheld by all ages. The crowds begin the evening in the town and slowly move towards the seafront for a fireworks display to see in the New Year (see our gallery for photographs).
The location for the BBC detective drama ‘Beyond Paradise’ (and known as Shipton Abbott in the series) Looe’s scenery is simply breathtaking, conjuring up the feeling that you have walked onto a film set!
The cottage is set in a prime location in the heart of old East Looe, nestled away in Looe's quaint backstreets and less than a minute's walk to the sandy beach with its many rock pools, harbour, (fishing trips and ferry cruises), costal paths (perfect for exploring wildlife), some great traditional pubs and award winning restaurants.
