Portwrinkle In Looe

About Portwrinkle

Portwrinkle is a bijou, purpose-built apartment perched on the hillside above West Looe, offering breathtaking views in every direction. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the ever-changing scenery—watch the river winding its way through town, the beach stretching below, and the coastline unfolding towards Rame Head and beyond to Plymouth Sound. 

Beautifully refurbished to a high standard, the apartment is designed to make the most of its spectacular setting. The open-plan living space is bright and welcoming, with comfortable furnishings arranged to take full advantage of the views. The well-equipped kitchen includes everything you need for a relaxing stay, from an oven, hob, and fridge to a dishwasher, washer/dryer, microwave, and Tassimo pod coffee machine. Whether you’re preparing a leisurely breakfast or a romantic dinner, the scenery outside your window provides the perfect backdrop. The lounge area is a cosy spot to unwind, with a 44” Smart TV offering terrestrial and Freeview channels.

In the bedroom, a king-size bed with a luxurious mattress ensures a restful night’s sleep. Waking up here is a treat—before you even lift your head from the pillow, you can watch the sunrise over the coastline and the beach below. A modern shower room completes this thoughtfully designed apartment, providing a stylish and practical space to refresh after a day of exploring.

For those who love the outdoors, Portwrinkle is in an ideal location. The South West Coast Path runs right past the apartment, leading to Hannafore Beach in just five minutes, with Talland Bay and Polperro further along the route. The vibrant heart of East Looe, with its shops, restaurants, and sandy beach, is a short walk away via the riverside and town bridge. For a more leisurely option, a passenger ferry crosses the river when the tide allows, offering a charming way to reach the town for just £1.

The apartment comes with allocated parking for a small to medium-sized car. It is worth noting that access from the parking area is via steep steps, so guests with limited mobility may wish to review the accessibility statement or contact us for further details. Portwrinkle is located within a pet-free building and is strictly non-smoking.

With its stunning views, stylish interiors, and superb location, Portwrinkle offers a wonderful retreat for those looking to experience the beauty of Looe and the Cornish coast.

Customer reviews of Portwrinkle

Great location near the centre of Looe. Having onsite parking is always a massive bonus when staying in any town in Cornwall. Highly recommended apartment. Couldn’t have been more pleased with the location and the apartment. Worth noting that access to the apartment from the parking is via steps.

Julian - March 2025

Absolutely gorgeous place to stay! everything you could possibly need and literally felt like a home from home only with incredible views!! would love to stay here again it was lovely.

Stephanie - March 2025

I can’t recommend this apartment enough, what an incredible stay! The uninterrupted views of the sea and harbor were breath taking; waking up to the sound of the waves and watching surfers from the comfort of the lounge was pure bliss. The bed was absolutely amazing, possibly the best I’ve ever slept in!

Ben - November 2024

Had an amazing time, Helena’s place was so clean, had everything catered for, the steps and the walk is worth it for the best view we’ve experienced in an airBnB. An ideal location to explore the local town, pubs and eateries, with plenty to choose from including the nearby Harbour moon which had a fab menu and the Golden Guinea which has an amazing rooftop garden bar, make sure you sample a pasty from Sarah’s pasty shop, the best by far! Nearby, Fowey, Bodmin, Liskeard, all worth a visit but don’t forget Polperro which you can hop on a bus to for just £2, a boat trip there for around £15 then walk back along the coastal path with great views of the Cornish Coast. Further afield is the fab beaches of Newquay, Tintagel Castle, the Camel Trail from Padstow to Wadebridge or some retail therapy in the City of Truro. Recommend Cornwall to anyone and Helena’s place is a must for exploring some of the fantastic places Looe and surrounding areas has to offer.

Scott - October 2024

Lovely apartment in a beautiful location. It has everything you’d need for your stay and the views from the bedroom and living room are stunning.

Simon - September 2024

Comfortable apartment, perfect for a couple, with everything you need. Stunning views, bonus to have parking on site. Would certainly recommend and hope to be back ourselves. You do need to be fit to manage the steps to the car park!

Georgina - July 2024

Beautifully presented apartment with stunning views of the beach and coast. Clean and tidy with clear instructions to ensure an easy check in. Lovely location on quieter west side of Looe with Spar shop and pubs within 5 minutes walk.

Emma - February 2024

Well worth the long journey to find this gem of an apartment, which is comfortable well thoughtout, equipped and well prepared. We have enjoyed coastal and woodland walks, touring some other villages, plus many of the attractions of Looe, alas, not sufficient time to enjoy them all. A returning visit would appear to be necessary. A big thank you to all those that made this visit so pleasant for us.

Hazel & Tim - September 2023

Lovely apartment with fantastic views, naturally warm buiding, and well equipped. Thanks for a great stay. Cornish Collection is the easiest website of the local agencies from a users point of view, friendly and helpful.

Had a wonderful stay in Looe. Plenty to see and do also amazing walks along the coast path. The view from the apartment windows are fantastic and to sit and watch the sunrise.
