Living in Looe, Cornwall
Let us start by saying that Looe is a great place to live!
We would say that though I suppose as we live an work here. But which ever way you look at it Looe is special.
Moving to Looe
Thousands of people come on holiday to Looe in Cornwall each year. A good number spend time looking in the estate agent windows, eyeing-up the properties and dreaming of what it would be like to live in Looe. We know the thoughts going through their minds:
- How much is property?
- Is there enough work?
- What's it like in the winter?
- Will I be treated like an outsider?
- Are there things to do?
- Does it flood?
- What's it like in the tourist season?
- and many, many more!
Well there is plenty to consider and all are individual to each person but below are a few of the services and facilities that you might find useful if you are considering the move.
