Itinerary
Hotel

Come along with us to discover the beautiful fishing port of Looe, a fantastic year-round holiday destination. This lovely Cornish town and excellent holiday destination is bursting with coastal charm and is popular for its reputable seafood scene, spectacular walks and beautiful beaches, Looe is one of Cornwall's south coast gems that is just waiting to be explored.

The county of Cornwall is famous for its seafaring history, spectacular beaches, dramatic coastlines, and captivating fishing harbours. Our base for this relaxing holiday is the popular seaside town of Looe, divided into East and West by a seven arched bridge that spans a tidal river. Here you can explore the maze-like streets with their interesting mix of traditional craft shops, bars and restaurants with many buildings dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. We also visit some of Cornwalls best gems with visits to the smugglers haunts of Mevagissey, Bodmin & Tintagel.

New for 2026, we include entry into Bodmin Jail.  There are plenty of dark secrets, mysteries and haunting tales locked away within Bodmin Jail’s formidable walls.  Clutching onto the fringes of Bodmin Moor, this former prison was one of the first in the UK with individual cells, and we have the chance to find out more about its grimy history. We also discover more about the punishments and type of inmates, including smugglers, highwaymen, wreckers and more. If you are brave enough you   can even visit the condemned cell and the original hanging pit.

Day 5
Today we travel to Fowey, a picturesque town that has much to offer and is designated an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its natural harbour is the perfect haven for yachtsmen while still busy as a working port exporting Cornwall's china clay. The home of Daphne du Maurier can be seen, and the town also boasts an excellent selection of quality shops, art galleries, cafes and restaurants for those looking for a Cornish cream tea or tasty fish & chips. Later we continue to Mevagissey. Narrow streets and steep valley sides lead down to the centre of the old Mevagissey where the distinctive twin harbour provides a haven for the many fishing boats that land their daily catch. In typical picture postcard style, cafes and shops cluster around the harbour walls.
