CAR
East Looe town, with its narrow winding lanes, is a traffic restricted zone, with access for local residents only, making it very pedestrian friendly.
We are fortunate to own a private parking space at the rear of the property, by the seafront, which can be used for no additional cost.
Guests with additional vehicles are able to offload along the side of the house (next to the former church building). There is ample long-stay public parking available a 10 minute walk away over the bridge in West Looe at the Millpool Car Park. We recommend guests use the Millpool car park during their stay (as a 24 hour ticket costs £5.50 and a weekly ticket costs £38.50). Further information on Millpool’s charges and charging periods can be found at the following link: https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/transport-and-streets/parking/cornwall-council-car-parks/car-park-locations-charges-and-facilities/looe-area/millpool-west-looe-pl13-2af/
There are also two smaller short-stay car parks in East Looe (Buller Quay and Riverbank): both of these cost more than Millpool and can be very busy during high season.
RAIL
The house is a 10 minute walk from Looe train station.
There is a branch line railway between Liskeard and Looe. National network rail services from Plymouth, Exeter, Bristol, London, Birmingham and places further north stop at Liskeard.
The Liskeard - Looe service runs all day until early evening at intervals of between one and two hours. For timetable information please visit Great Western Railway online: https://www.gwr.com/.
A trip on the railway from Looe to Liskeard, or beyond, is a favourite outing for holidaymakers as the Looe Valley line is very scenic (see picture above). If you have a choice, take the trip at high tide when the river views are best (the railway line runs immediately next to the Looe river estuary for its full length) and avoid very busy times as the trains, which are only two carriages, can be very full with day visitors.
BUSES
Service 72 (Polperro - Looe - Plymouth)
Service 73 (Polperro - Looe - Liskeard station and town)
Bus services to the nearby picturesque fishing villages Polperro and Polruan leave from the bus stop opposite the Health Centre, by the bridge.
