Richard and Natascha
The Watermark is situated in quiet West Looe overlooking the sandy family friendly beach,town &n fishing harbour of Looe & commands panoramic views over the famous Banjo Pier.It is the perfect place for a holiday or break by the sea in Cornwall. We offer double and family rooms. All our bed and breakfast rooms are ensuite and stylishly furnished to a high standard and all have sea views. Four of our B&B rooms have private balconies where you can relax and take in the breathtaking views A hearty award winning Cornish breakfast is served to start off your day. A complimentary homemade Cornish cream tea is served to guests each afternoon in the dining room. There is also an honesty bar so that you can sample a local ale or cider or a refreshing glass of wine in the lounge area while enjoying some of the best sea views in the West Country There is free on site parking- a bonus in itself here in Looe!! The bridge which crosses the river into the town and main beach is a short walk down from The Watermark.
We have worked in the hospitality industry for many years & have long dreamed of living and working in a place like this, overlooking the sea and surrounded by such lovely scenery. We love hiking and kayaking up the river and around the coast.
Looe is a good holiday base for exploring the many attractions of Cornwall. The Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and some of the finest National Trust houses and gardens are a short drive. Looe is on the branch train line off the main Penzance to Plymouth line, so why not leave the car behind and let the train take the strain while you explore Cornwall! Newquay, Truro, Falmouth, Penzance and St Ives are all accessible by train.
