Looe in Springtime - Mon 20th March 2023

To find out your pick up point and time - select the number of participants required and click BOOK NOW. Then select from the drop down list in the next section.

Superb holiday staying in the very heart of Cornish life in Looe and with excursions discovering the beautiful countryside, towns and people of the region. The historic fishing Port of Looe on Cornwall’s south coast is amazing - you can ‘feel’ the history of the town centred around the bustling harbour where you can watch the catch being ‘brought-in’ by the fishing boats.

It’s a great place to explore - stroll through the labyrinth of narrow streets lined with cafes, antique shops and pick up a tasty pasty in one of the bakers to enjoy on the sandy beach. A wonderful destination with a great hotel for a lovely holiday.

This hotel has been awarded a Travellers' Choice 2022 Award - meaning they consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor for enjoyment and value for money.

DAY 1 
After being collected from your local pick up point around 8.15/9.30am we have a brief comfort stop and a main stop for lunch before arriving at the hotel around 3.30pm. Settle in to the hotel and enjoy the views with a delicious and very welcome Cream Tea included in the price. During our stay there will be some evening entertainment.

DAY 2
Wonderfully located on the coast, overlooking Porthluney Cove is Caerhays Castle and Gardens. The estate is near to the fishing village of Mevagissey and has 140 acres of magnificent gardens containing a renowned collection of magnolias, rhododendrons and camellias with woodlands and shrubs from around the world. Great destination to while away some time with a tea room for lunch or you can walk down to the beach. Some steep sections, so may not be suitable for all. Price includes entrance to gardens + tour of the Castle.

DAY 3
Totally free day today so enjoy a leisurely breakfast overlooking the town. You make like to step on a local bus to one of the villages nearby, maybe board the Looe Valley Line to Liskeard, head along the South West Coast Path or just relax around town. Lovely, lovely!

DAY 4
Lovely excursion today as we head along the coast to nearby Fowey. It is a 10 minute walk down a hill in to the town from our drop off point but Fowey is well worth the effort! A lovely, traditional Cornish town with narrow streets, charming shops and pubs and a lovely outlook over the Fowey Estuary – one of the most beautiful in the South West. Due to the topography, today may not be suitable for all. Returning for free time before a final evening dinner.

DAY 5

We leave the hotel after breakfast and have a stop for lunch before arriving back to your local drop off point around 3.30/4.30pm.
