4 Bedroom House in Downderry

Check out our reviews on Air B and B and Trip Advisor.
Four bedroom detached house with stunning views out toward Looe Island and beyond from nearly all rooms.
'Curlew Point' is located high up over looking the lovely traditional village of Downderry and the sea. Recently renovated it presents open plan living and is immaculately presented over four floors.
Downderry is a quiet Cornish village situated to the east of Looe which is within easy reach by car.
Local places of interest
It is not necessary to travel too far to find beautiful sandy beaches, stunning scenic walks, grand stately homes and welcoming country pubs offering traditional fare.
By following the B3247 coast road and travelling 20 miles between Cremyll in the East and Looe in the West you can find all of the above and more.
Starting from the east at Cremyll on the Rame Peninsular visit β€˜Mount Edgcumbe stately home and gardens or take refreshments at the β€˜Edgcumbe Arms’ whilst watching the coming and going of the river traffic on the Hamoeze or jump on the passenger ferry over to Plymouth and a ten to fifteen minute walk will take you to Plymouth Hoe.
Heading back along the coast, the twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand can be found; from Cawsand the coastal path to Rame Head provides breath taking scenery. The coastguard lookout at Rame Head is manned by volunteers who positively welcome visitors.
Travelling west from the Rame Peninsular you will find Whitsand Bay, a beautiful golden sandy beach stretching for several miles. There are several points of access to the beach and its well worth the climb.
Next comes the village of Crafthole, then turn left immediately after Crafthole and explore the tiny hamlet of Portwrinkle.
Further west after Crafthole will be in familiar territory as you drive through Downderry. Carry on through to its twin village of Seaton. From here you can take the coast path to Looe, walk through the woodland valley to Hessenford where you will find 'The Copley Arms', a traditional Cornish pub or stay and enjoy Seaton with its beach cafΓ©, Smugglers Inn and Waves restaurant.
The road out of Seaton takes you up Seaton valley to Hessenford and onto Looe. Looe is divided by the river, the main town of Looe can be found on the east side of the river and ample parking can be found over the bridge in West Looe in Mill Pool car park which is on the right hand side after you have crossed the bridge.
If you prefer to take a walk then one of the most beautifully scenic walks in the area starts from West Looe. Turn left after the bridge and park at Hannafore. From here you can take the coast path to the historic fishing village of Polperro or if you prefer a shorter walk why not stop half way at Talland Bay and take refreshment at the cafΓ©.
Things to do
Days out in Plymouth
Take a ride to Plymouth via the Torpoint car ferry around a 20 minute drive. Visit and walk Plymouth Hoe, enjoy fantastic views over Plymouth Sound. From here you can walk to the historic area of the Barbican and enjoy the bars, cafΓ©s, restaurants and shops. Walk over the footbridge at Sutton Marina to visit The National Aquarium.
Hire bicycles at Coypool carpark and cycle the Plym Valley up onto Dartmoor, part of the Devon Coast to Coast National Cycle Route number 27. Have a break at Clearbrook and visit the Skylark pub (approx. 6 miles from Coypool) situated at the side of the cycle track on the moor.
The Cawsand Ferry, a foot passenger ferry which runs daily during the seasonal months. A wonderful boat trip in itself, this half hour ferry journey links the secluded unspoilt villages of Kingsand and Cawsand with Plymouth Barbican and Plymouth.
The Cremyl Ferry, another foot passenger ferry running daily to the historic and recently renovated Royal William Yard. Here you will find many restaurants and bars.
Walk the coastal path
East from Downderry to Portwinkle, take refreshment at the Gook CafΓ©.
West from Downderry to Milendreath, visit the Black Rock Restaurant and CafΓ©. Then onto Looe, a typical old Cornish fishing village.
Take a drive to Cremyl and walk to Kingsand and Cawsand. At Cremyl you can visit Mount Edgcombe. Walk through the lovely gardens and visit the stately home which opens to the public, visit the website for opening times. They have an Orangery in the garden for refreshments and at Cremyl there’s the Edgcombe Arms, an old Cornish pub situated on the banks of the river Tamar, relax and watch the river traffic go by.
Take a drive to Looe and park at Hannafore (west Looe) and walk to Talland Bay, an ice cream opportunity and much more. Then onto Polporro which shouldn’t be missed if you like traditional old Cornish villages, one of the quaintest you will find.
From here you can catch the bus back to Looe if you’re not feeling too energetic for the walk back. (Check bus timetables.)
Park at the east end of Whitsand Bay and walk into Cawsand and Kingsand via Ramehead. Lovely old seaside villages overlooking Plymouth Sound with plenty of pubs and cafΓ©s. Return either along the coast path or the much shorter coastal road route.
For those that like being out on the water
Hire wet suits, paddle boards and kayaks at Cawsand.
Take a boat trip from Looe and go fishing or visit Looe Island a nature reserve which provides guided walks.
Surfing and body boarding. Whitsand Bay with its’ beautiful sandy beach is the best spot to go. It’s a beach break that is suitable for all abilities and is manned by the RNLI in the summer. You can surf off Downderry this is a reef break best on a higher tide and Seaton another reef break, this one best on a low to mid tide also manned by the RNLI in the summer.
Adrenalin junkies

Summary: All good. Nothing much else to add! House is superb, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Everything has been thought of. A lovely stay and friendly host.
David H. Jul 25, 2021 01:05:44 PM
Summary: We really loved our stay at this property (helped by some stunning weather for most of the week). The house is in a fantastic position overlooking the sea, and it had everything that we could hope for. Spotlessly clean and well-equipped. Chris the owner was super-helpful in the booking process and answering questions about the house and the area. Fabulous beaches and restaurants within a very short distance. Would definitely recommend to others.
Ros O. Jul 28, 2020 11:03:50 PM
Summary: Stunning house, views to die for, everything provided you could ever need and more! Lovely communications with the owners. What a comfortable, beautiful home! We especially loved the comfy beds, high quality linen and equipment, eco-products provided, luxury extras like the sound system linked to Alexa, throws, comfy balcony chairs, but the totally best feature is the lovely comfy sofa with a view out to sea! Lovely welcome pack provided (though a pint of milk would’ve been useful)-local products, again high quality! Provided oil, salt and pepper, tea, coffee, loo roll, kitchen roll, soap, shower gel, biscuits and Prosecco😊! I should mention though that while the walk down to the beach is only about 15 mins it takes a lot longer to walk back up! The hill is super steep and the walk is only suitable for the those who are fit or a car is needed. But that’s what makes the views so good! We loved this place so much! You won’t be disappointed. 😎

Summary: A really great place to stay... Fantastic views & a very well appointed home from home. Will definitely stay again.
