Company information

Myself and my wife Claire moved to Looe in 2000. We love living in this beautiful, special town. We know our guests will love Looe as much as us and enjoy the views from our unique position. Why not book onto a boat trip in Looe or visit the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, Bodmin Jail or take a ride on the Looe Valley Line while you are here?

Property information

Shellseekers is a unique waterfront property in West Looe, with views of the Harbour and within easy walking distance of the town. There are plenty of restaurants and pubs nearby. We are in a perfect position for you to enjoy exploring Looe and Cornwall by car, train, boat or on foot via the Coastal Path. There is always something to do here, even if the weather isn't as beautiful as the town! We have reserved parking bays for your use in the Millpool car park while you are our guests. You can also book yourself a cream tea or afternoon tea while enjoying the spectacular views from our veranda during your stay.

Neighbourhood information

Every day is different and there is always something going on nearby, in the town or on the beach. The locals are all friendly and the pubs and restaurants serve delicious food and drink!
