The Hillocks, Looe – Two Bedroom House with Fabulous Views of Looe Town and Harbour Overview

First Impressions

When I first spotted The Hillocks, Looe – Two Bedroom House with Fabulous Views of Looe Town and Harbour, I honestly wasn’t prepared for just how spectacular those views would be. This four-star property sits perfectly positioned on the hillside above Looe, and you know what? The name doesn’t oversell it — those harbour views are absolutely fabulous. The moment you step inside, you’re drawn straight to the windows where the whole town spreads out below you like a picture postcard.

The Space and Layout

This isn’t your typical hotel room — it’s actually a proper two-bedroom house that gives you real breathing space. The living area flows naturally toward those floor-to-ceiling windows, and I found myself constantly gravitating there with my morning coffee. The kitchen is well-equipped enough that you could easily prepare meals (though honestly, with Looe’s seafood restaurants just down the hill, I barely used it). What I really appreciated was having separate bedrooms — it means couples get privacy, but families or friends traveling together aren’t cramped into one space.

Location and Getting Around

The location is pretty much unbeatable if you want to be close to everything but still feel like you’re in your own private retreat. You’re literally a five-minute walk down to the harbour and main street, but the climb back up — well, let’s just say it’s good exercise after all that Cornish cream tea. The house sits in a quiet residential area, so you get peaceful evenings but easy access to the bustling waterfront during the day. I mean, you can watch the fishing boats come and go from your window while having breakfast.

What Makes It Special

Here’s the thing that really sets this place apart — it’s the kind of spot where you actually want to spend time indoors, which is rare for a seaside destination. Those panoramic views change throughout the day, from misty morning harbours to golden evening light hitting the water. The house feels like a proper home base rather than just somewhere to crash between beach visits. There’s something quite magical about watching the town wake up from your elevated perch, then heading down to join the action when you’re ready.

Why Guests Love It

I can see why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something undeniably romantic about having your own house overlooking one of Cornwall’s prettiest fishing towns. The combination of privacy, comfort, and those incredible views creates exactly the kind of atmosphere you want for a special getaway. Plus, you’re getting genuine value here — the space, location, and amenities you’d expect from a much pricier property. Whether you’re planning romantic dinners with harbour views or just want a peaceful retreat after exploring Cornwall’s coast, this place delivers on all fronts.
