Looe Country Park

Port Elliott is worth a visit, and today they have an event.
I also recommend coffee and cake at the Elephant cafe, the original cafe from Beyond Paradise.

It looks like we’re going to get lucky with the weather this Sunday for our inaugural Country House Car Boot! A good chance of a sunny day with the odd possibility of a short spattering of rain here and there. You’re welcome to bring gazebos if you have one but the literal ‘car boot’ will also suffice for shelter in the unlikely event we get a shower!

The house will be putting on tea, coffee and BLT sandwiches and don’t forget that next door The Eliot Arms has a delicious roast available (pre book recommended) and our stable yard The Stables at Port Eliot has coffee and cake covered too with live music at 2-4pm followed by more Live music at the pub 5-7pm.

The perfect Sunday in St. Germans!

Haven't shared a sunset for a while. You too could have this view.

Hannafore is a good spot to spend a few hours. You can take a walk on the coast path towards Polperro, overlooking Looe Island. Enjoy refreshment at the kiosk or Cafe (the Kiosk has the best ice-cream), stroll along the promenade or do some rock pooling on the beach.

For anyone interested in industrial heritage, I recomend Geevor tin mine. It's about 1:30h further west, but well worth it.
Follow it up with a visit to any one of the amazing beaches in the area, or visit St Just, famous for it's arts and crafts.

Cheaper parking at Looe, Seaton, and other Cornwall car parks If you are here for a while. You need to load £35 into the 'Just Park' app first.

Beach find a few days ago. Some disagreement as to what it is, but rest assured, there are no dangerous aliens in the sea round here

Well it's certainly warm enough today.

Our cosy camping pods. Ideal for a short break. Sleeps 3. The camping experience without the condensation, the cold, having to do all your cooking and coffee making outside no packing a damp tent after your stay.

We had a lovely review left on Google today:
"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the caravan park and couldn’t have been more impressed. The caravan itself was spotless, beautifully presented, and felt incredibly comfortable and luxurious throughout our stay. Every detail had clearly been thought about, from the stylish interior to the well-equipped kitchen and cosy living area. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and it truly felt like a home away from home.
The park itself was peaceful, immaculately maintained, and had a lovely, relaxing atmosphere. The surroundings were beautiful, making it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a quiet break. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always happy to help, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Overall, this was one of the best caravan holidays we’ve had, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and high-quality getaway. We’ll definitely be returning in the future"
