Ocean View Apartments

Ocean View Apartments Overview

First Impressions

You know what struck me first about Ocean View Apartments? It’s not actually in Looe proper — you’re tucked away in this quiet spot called Millendreath, which honestly feels like you’ve discovered something locals have been keeping to themselves. The building sits on May Lane, and while it might not have an official star rating, don’t let that fool you. Sometimes the best places are the ones that let their location and character do the talking instead of fancy classifications.

Location & Surroundings

This is where Ocean View Apartments really shines, and I mean really shines — recent guests rated the location 9.9, which is practically unheard of. You’re perched above Millendreath Beach, which is this gorgeous stretch of sand that’s way less crowded than Looe’s main beaches. Couples absolutely love it here (they gave it 9.7 for romantic getaways), and I can see why. You can walk down to the beach in minutes, but you’re also just a short drive or pleasant coastal walk into Looe town when you want proper restaurants and that classic Cornish harbor atmosphere.

The Practical Stuff

Here’s something that’ll make your life easier — there’s free private parking right on site. Trust me, if you’ve ever tried to find parking in Cornwall during summer, you’ll appreciate this more than you might expect. The apartments themselves feel more like staying in someone’s well-loved holiday home than a typical hotel room. Each one has proper kitchen facilities, which means you can grab fresh fish from Looe’s market or pop into the local shops and actually cook something decent.

What Makes It Special

The thing about Ocean View Apartments is that it feels authentic in a way that’s getting harder to find along the Cornish coast. You’re not dealing with corporate hospitality or overly polished common areas — instead, you get that genuine seaside apartment experience where you can spread out, live a bit like a local, and actually relax. The views (yes, you do get proper ocean views) are the kind that make you want to sit with your morning coffee and just watch the water change colors. It’s particularly magical in the evening when the light hits the coastline just right.

Why Guests Love It

With a 9.1 overall rating, people clearly get what this place is about. It’s not trying to be something it’s not — no spa treatments or fancy concierge services — but what it does offer is that increasingly rare combination of stunning location, genuine character, and the freedom that comes with apartment-style accommodation. You’re close enough to Looe to explore the town’s galleries, pubs, and that lovely harbor, but far enough away that you feel like you’ve escaped to your own little corner of Cornwall. For couples especially, there’s something really special about having this peaceful base where you can cook dinner together and fall asleep to the sound of waves.

Hotels near me in Cornwall deliver quick drives to Eden Project biomes, Camel Trail cycling, and harbor boat trips.

Reviews of Ocean View Apartments

• Julie from United Kingdom – 23 June 2025 (9/10)

  Wonderful views very comfortable apartment

• Heidelinde from Austria – 4 June 2025 (8/10)

  very well equipped kitchen, great mattress, very good location – you can´t wish for more – not far to the beach or the coastal path. My husband had forgotten his cap when we left. Chris and Maria immediately agreed to send it by post.
  
  What could be improved: Unfortunately, the studio does not have a direct view of the sea. This should perhaps be mentioned – we would have liked to have been in the upper flats with a great sea view.
