The region of Cornwall is renowned for its stunning coastline, quaint fishing villages, and hidden coves, making it a top holiday destination in Britain. Looe, the second largest fishing port in Cornwall, is comprised of the lively East Looe and the more tranquil West Looe, connected by a picturesque 19th-century bridge. Visitors can enjoy exploring the narrow cobbled streets filled with shops in East Looe or take in the scenic views from West Looe across the harbor. The sandy Looe Beach, with its safe shallow waters, is particularly popular with families, offering a vast area for sunbathing and swimming.
Beyond the immediate coastal attractions, guests at the Cheshire Cat can venture into the nearby Bodmin Moor and Tamar Valley, both rich in history and natural beauty, with the latter recognized as a World Heritage site for its former mining landscape. The area has inspired numerous writers, including the famous Daphne du Maurier, and is steeped in legends associated with King Arthur. Cultural highlights in Looe include the Old Guildhall Museum and Gaol, as well as the Stuart House Arts and Heritage Centre. For families, local attractions such as Kartworld, Adrenalin Quarry, and Port Eliot House and Gardens provide additional entertainment options, ensuring a memorable stay in this picturesque part of Cornwall.
