Looe's most
upmarket place to stay is beautifully positioned among terraced gardens above East Looe.

Anchor Lights
( 01503-262334;

; The Quay, West Looe; d £75-92)
Despite the unprepossessing
pebble-dash exterior, inside this B&B is light, bright and uncluttered. The four main
rooms have brilliant views over the harbour, and are all named after local notables: aim
for Colliver or Pengelly, or go for Piran if you're on a budget and don't mind bunkbeds.

; Hannafore Point; d £90-140; )

in a modern double-gabled house overlooking Hannafore Point. The compact rooms are
named after Cornish bays: top of the pile is Kynance, with a private balcony.

Sarah's Pasty Shop
( 01503-263973;
www.sarahspastyshop.com
; 6 Buller St; 9am-4pm Mon-Sat, 10am-4pm Sun)
Much-loved
Looe pasty shop, with some controversial variations on the theme including lamb, mint
and leek, chickpea and lentil and a 'breakfast fry-up' (with sausage, beans, egg, bacon and
tomato). As usual, the traditional pasties are the best - but it's worth turning up on 'Fishy
Friday' for the rather good mackerel, horseradish and pea pasty.
