Settled in an elevated position in West Looe, in Cornwall, rests this spectacular five-bedroom holiday home, Albany.
Framing far-reaching views throughout the harbour, across the rooftops of East Looe and toward the glistening waters of the English Channel, whilst enjoying an elegant and quirky décor, Albany offers an idyllic base for a group of nine seeking a retreat to Cornwall, just steps away from the South West Coast Path.
Follow the network of stone steps and ramps to reach this wonderful holiday home, where a delightful front patio with seating will greet you upon arrival, providing a truly lovely spot to enjoy an evening tipple with a view at the end of an action-packed day.
Remove any coats and shoes in the hallway as you step inside before following the original wooden flooring through to the open-plan living/dining room, flooded with light welcomed in through the traditional bay windows, and putting your feet up to unwind on the plush chesterfield sofas, and watch the everchanging harbour views. You also have the choice of Sky TV, Netflix, a variety of books, games and puzzles as well as a games console.
Gather your guests together at the dining table as you prepare a range of tasty treats in the nearby kitchen, equipped with a range of facilities, including a handy dishwasher to help with the cleaning; uncork a chilled bottle of wine and recount the days adventures as you indulge.
In the evening, take advantage of your peaceful coastal surroundings with your favourite tipple in hand, or escape the excitement and indulge in a blissful soak amongst the bubbles in the elegant roll-top bath.
For those guests that would prefer a quick rinse, the stylish shower room on the second-floor is equipped with a walk-in shower cubicle.
Boasting five well-presented bedrooms, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to resting your head, with two super-king-size rooms settled on the first-floor, one benefiting from access to it's own TV and the other offering a flexible zip/link feature, whilst the single bedroom offers a day bed, ideal for both couples, families and friends sharing.
Two additional super-king-size bedrooms can be found alongside the study on the second-floor, one offering a flexible zip/link feature.
A short walk from your doorstep will bring you into the heart of Looe, where you'll find all of your local amenities, including a fabulous selection of eateries, ranging from traditional pubs to hearty cafes and elegant restaurants, along with a collection of high-street and independent shops.
Be sure to pack your costume and head to the glorious sands of East Looe Beach to spend a fun-filled afternoon paddling the shores or building castles, or embark on a two-footed adventure along the South West Coast Path to marvel at the Pen and Limmicks Rocks decorating the seafront.
Whilst you're in the area, be sure to plan a boat trip to Looe Island, home to a marine nature reserve accessible only via official trip organizers, and catch sight of the precious wildlife that inhabits the landscape.
For more coastal adventures, travel south to Polperro, where you'll find turquoise blue waters, golden sands and a picture-perfect fishing village.
