Looe

Ahoy there, dog lovers! Planning a holiday with your furry best mate? Look no further than the charming Cornish fishing town of Looe! With its rich history, stunning scenery, and dog-friendly atmosphere, Looe is the paw-fect place for a memorable getaway. (Get it? Paw-fect? We're here all week!)

A Walk Through Time (and Treats!)

Looe isn't just a pretty face; it's steeped in history! Once a bustling hub for smuggling (shhh, don't tell!), Looe has evolved into a vibrant tourist destination while retaining its traditional charm. Imagine your dog sniffing out the ghosts of smugglers past as you stroll along the historic quays.

• Did you know? Looe was once two separate towns, East Looe and West Looe, connected by a bridge. Now that's what we call a "pawsome" partnership! (Okay, we'll stop with the paw puns... maybe).

Why Looe is Great for Dogs (and Their Humans)

Looe welcomes dogs with open arms (and maybe a biscuit or two!). Here's why it's a top-notch choice for your next dog-friendly holiday:

• Beaches Galore: While some beaches have seasonal restrictions, there are plenty of sandy stretches where your dog can run, play fetch, and splash in the waves. (Just remember to be a responsible owner and clean up after your furry friend!)

• Dog-Friendly Pubs and Cafes: Thirsty work, all that exploring! Luckily, Looe boasts a fantastic selection of pubs and cafes that welcome dogs. Enjoy a refreshing drink and a tasty meal while your dog relaxes by your side.

• Scenic Walks: Explore the stunning South West Coast Path, offering breathtaking views and invigorating walks for you and your dog. From gentle strolls to more challenging hikes, there's a route for every ability.

• Boat Trips: Many boat trip operators in Looe welcome well-behaved dogs onboard. Imagine sailing along the coast, feeling the sea breeze in your hair (and your dog's fur!), and spotting seals and other wildlife.  Just make sure you book the right trip as Fido and speed boats might not be a match made in doggy heaven.

Modern Day Woof-tasticness!

Today, Looe thrives as a popular holiday destination. Its picturesque harbor, narrow streets, and abundance of independent shops and restaurants make it a delightful place to explore.
