Award-winning guest house with harbour views and honesty bar in Looe, Cornwall
Location & Surroundings
The Old Bridge House sits on the quay of East Looe Harbour with panoramic views of the river and tidal activity. The guest house is a minute's walk from West Looe's shops, cafes, and restaurants, and a short stroll across the bridge to the main town. Nearby attractions include the Eden Project (24 miles), Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary (10 minutes by car), and the coastal village of Polperro (a scenic walk or short drive).
Breakfast & Dining
The award-winning Cornish breakfast is cooked to order each morning and uses locally sourced, high-quality produce. Guests select their hot meal from a menu with options including full English, fish dishes, and vegetarian/gluten-free choices. Breakfast is served in a room facing the harbour, and the cold buffet includes fresh fruits, yogurts, nuts, and juices.
Honesty Bar & Guest Luxuries
The honesty bar stocks a range of wines, beers, and spirits, which guests can pour themselves and record on a simple list.
