About this property

Riverbella - Stunning Views. Sun Deck. Walk to Beach/Town. Private parking.

A newly furnished two-bedroom apartment, sleeping 3 people situated in East Looe. Just 200 yards from the picturesque river and 7-8 minutes walk into town and to the beach. The peaceful decking sits on the edge of a communal garden in a special area of conservation, full of plants, wildlife, nesting birds, and local character pheasant, Keith.

A comfortable lounge with dining looks out towards a lofty, large private sun-deck area allowing alfresco dining with spectacular views down to the river and towards Looe, across to West Looe, the harbour and up river to the surrounding countryside.

Leading off the rear of the lounge is a newly fitted, fully equipped kitchen, including oven, hob, fridge/ mini freezer, microwave, toaster, kettle, Delonghi coffee maker, and full range of kitchen utensils, crockery and cutlery.

The main bedroom has a generous double bed and 2 bedside cabinets, a full height wardrobe. Plenty of light flooding in during the morning. The small second bedroom offers one single bed and bedside table. Views are out towards the river, millpool, woodland and sun deck.

One bathroom offers instant hot showers.

There is one private car park space in the Berkeley Court parking area allocated for No.3 Riverbella.

Part of the charm and character of Looe is that the majority of properties are built on the hillside, and although the apartment is ground floor, the access from the car park space is via some steps (69), therefore, unfortunately, it is not suitable for wheelchair access or for those less mobile. The steps are through the garden and are not steep.

Quaint and Cosy

Stayed at Riverbella for 4 nights with our lifelong friends. Very clean and cosy. Very well equipped. Location is excellent. Beds were very comfortable. Unfortunately It rained the whole time we were there, so we didn't get to sit on the decked area and enjoy the stunning views. It didn't dampen our spirits though. The only downside to Riverbella are the 69 steps to get to the front door. Very steep hill to drive up too. This is all clearly stated on discription of property. So provided you are fit and able we would highly recommend staying at this property.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft! Tolle Umgebung und hilfsbereite Vermieterin und Nachbarn.

Es war ein sehr erholsamer Urlaub in einer sehr schönen und liebevoll eingerichteten Unterkunft mit einem traumhaften Bluck von der Terrasse! Looe ist sehr schön, man hat viele Möglichkeiten von hier aus etwas zu unternehmen. Die Haltestelle der Eisenbahn ist fussläufig. Kirsten war sehr hilfsbereit und kommunikativ und die Nachbarn geben ebenfalls Tipps! Ein sehr beeindruckender Urlaub, der uns noch lange in Erinnerung bleibt! Dankeschön

Riverbella

Riverbella is tucked away near the river but this property gives outstanding views and after a short climb was worth it. The property itself was charming, with a homely feel, clean and well kept and the beds were extremely comfortable. Kirsten had provided everything that you would wish to make your stay enjoyable. Everything from washing machine tablets, to a ruck sack and windbreak! you could not fault it.... it is a steep climb and a bit hairy when driving up the incline, but we enjoyed our stay as it was only a short walk to the local shops, sea front and restaurants and local pub on the corner where you could have a rest and a drink before retiring to Riverbella for the night. Parking for two cars is difficult but there was amble parking both short stay, the station car park and the long stay across the bridge ( which could be seen from the property). I would recommend this two bedroomed holiday apartment and will be returning !

An enjoyable& relaxing stay.

Kirsten the property owner was v helpful and enjoyed the cosy apt. The parking space was v useful but the drive is v steep& tricky so getting in& out of the space was a bit of a challenge sometimes. Lovely to have the views though over the estuary and West Looe beyond which made the apt special. Must be fairly fit though with the many steps up. This is mentioned though in the info provided.

lovely stay

We enjoyed our stay in Looe, Kirsten was very friendly and informative as were her neighbours. The terrace was a lovely place to sit out and enjoy the view with a cup of tea or glass of wine. The people in the shops and restaurants were also very friendly and polite. Hope to return in future.

Amazing apartment in a stunning location

My family (me, wife and 2 kids aged 6 and 9) stayed at Riverbella over the Easter holiday and really liked the place. Its got everything you need and more. The location is amazing with a decking area overlooking the river and bridge of Looe. I loved sitting there in the evening and looking at the lights of the town. The bedrooms are very nice and we really felt at home there. Kirsten is a great host, great communication and provided us with great tips on where to eat etc. We will definitely stay at Riverbella again when we come back to Looe.

Beautiful views

Lovely little gem on the east side of Looe, we visit this part of the world at least twice a year. This property was well equipped and with comfy beds. I took my children with me and they enjoyed being walking distance from the little town of Looe and the beach. There is a parking space just for this property and after walking up the steps the views are amazing over the Looe river. It had the bonus of free WiFi and sky tv. My son had great fun playing around the small pond in the garden. The owner was very helpful and friendly. Thank you for a lovely weekend.

About the host

Hosted by Kirsten Hintner

Host profile image
I'm a freelance author, film maker and voice artist. I also work for a UK-based whale and dolphin charity.

I love to travel within the UK and internationally and have loved the south west of England for as long as I can remember. I love the ocean, and am very passionate about animal welfare and the environment.

Why they chose this property

Looe is a very special place. Its friendliness always astounds me, and its beauty greets me every morning when I'm there. Riverbella is a name that came naturally for this lovely apartment, as it boasts stunning views across the river, woodland and towards Looe. It ticked all my boxes in terms of what I was looking for, and what I thought others would like for a relaxing break. Just lazing in my hammock on the sun deck makes all lifes' stresses disappear! There are some steps up to the apartment (approx 69), but they are broken up with walkways and once you reach Riverbella it's all worth it!

What makes this property unique

The private decking is high up and looks over a vast expanse of river and countryside views. It's airy and light and surrounded by a garden full of plants. Many species of bird and nesting birds can be seen in this Special Area of Conservation from the decking, and also bats! The allocated car park space is gold dust here in Looe.
