A little, peaceful coastal community called Downderry can be found in southeast Cornwall. Downderry has a safe beach, a post office, a store, a deli, a tavern on the cliff top, and a fantastic restaurant that serves top-notch regional cuisine. A family-friendly south facing beach can be found in Seaton, and the nearby Seaton Valley Countryside Park and Nature Reserve is home to a variety of wildlife, including otters and kingfishers. At low tide, it is possible to walk along the beach from Downderry to Seaton. The charming sections of the South West Coast Path in this area of Cornwall lead you to rocky bays, dramatic headlands, and tales of shipwrecks and smugglers. The charming working harbours at Looe and Polperro are easily accessible by car. In Plymouth, which is farther away, there are many things to see and do, including a marine aquarium, a theatre, sizable shopping malls, and the famed Barbican waterfront neighbourhood.

If you love a view, well, who doesnât ? this home offers a different view from each window that changes throughout the day. You can see a lot of thought has gone into getting this home ready to welcome guests, for me itâs always the little things,a pint of milk in the fridge, tea & coffee left for arrival, towels & tea towels, toilet paper, washer & dryer which means one less job when you have to leave and can arrive back home still relaxed from the sea air & views, there are also books, dvdâs, games, binoculars, Alexa speakers, coffee machine for ground coffee, a huge, modern fridge/freezer, the tv set up is a bit complicated if youâre used to just turning the tv on and watching the tv, Iâm sure your tv has DVB so no need for the freeview box ?but I work in this industry so I was the one holding 3 remotes, loading the dvd & finding the right programs ! The garden does state itâs enclosed which it isnât fully so if you have a dog or small child they will need supervision, the balcony is enclosed and has enough furniture to enjoy an morning cuppa, alfresco dining or just a glass of wine while soaking in the views plus it was perfect for my puppy to lie on in the sun (when we had some) ! Every seat in the living room has a different view and there are more than enough furniture for a large family. The bedrooms are all large and have enough hangers and drawer space in each room and the beds are large and comfortable. The driveway fits 2 cars but we parked on the roadway covering the drive due to steepness as our car boots wouldnât close as the sensors see the drive as an obstruction but thatâs BMW for you ! Could do with a bin outside instead of in the garage as we couldnât locate garage key but this is not a negative just a suggestion. Looe island view was warm, comfortable, homely and welcoming. A true 10 out of 10
