Set along south east Cornwall’s coast, the small seaside village of Downderry has a long stretch of light shingle. The dog-friendly beach is easily accessible and is only a short walk from many of our holiday cottages in Downderry. There are rock pools a-plenty at low tide for children to scamper around and discover the local sea-life.

Downderry itself is a small village and is home to the popular Blue Plate Restaurant which offers a wide selection of locally sourced food, including plenty of freshly-caught seafood. There's also a seaside pub, perfect for summer sundowners or warming hot chocolates after wintery beach walks.

Downderry beach links with Seaton, which is a pleasant walk (or short drive) away, and the South West Coast Path runs right through the village.

Further afield, the picturesque fishing towns of Looe and Polperro are only a short drive away with many interesting shops, restaurants and attractions, while the historic city of Plymouth is only 18 miles away in nearby Devon. Here you'll find shopping centres, independent shops, cinemas, theatres and leisure centres, as well as wine bars, bistros, restaurants and pubs.

A holiday cottage in the village of Downderry offers a beautiful, peaceful seaside escape with the benefit of having a fantastic restaurant right on your doorstep and easy access to the busier seaside resorts.

Things To Do In Cornwall

The Monkey Sanctuary
(3 miles)

(1)

Not perhaps what you might expect to find in Cornwall, The Monkey Sanctuary is a delightful opportunity to learn about its 36 inhabitants, all of whom have distinct characters and personalities.  An active rescue centre dealing with individuals that have often not had a very happy start to life, the priority is always their wellbeing, but it’s also an opportunity for guests to meet them and learn about the organization, explore the gardens and cultivated meadows, shop or relax in the café.  There’s also a play area for children, with views of the Cornish coast.  The sanctuary is closed on Fridays, but otherwise open from March to September (dates vary from year to year, so keep an eye on the website).  Prices start at £8.50 per adult and £5 for children, which entitles you to entry for a whole year.

Great place they do a lot of good work for the monkeys! It’s just sad to hear some of the stories of how they were kept!

Looe Golf Club

While most golf courses claim a degree of outdoor beauty, Looe Golf Course really takes the biscuit, with panoramic views of the peaks of Dartmoor and the Tamar estuary to the east, Looe Island and the channel to the south, and the Cornish moors to the west and north. The club welcomes visitors and has a fully licensed bar and catering facilities as well as free parking, practice putting green and practice net, and a well-equipped Pro Shop all available.

Looe Museum
(4 miles)

(4)

Owned by the East Loose Town Trust, the Looe Museum is managed by a small community of volunteers, and gives a delightful insight into the history and character of the area.  It’s an opportunity to develop your knowledge of the town and locality whether you’re a first time visitor or frequent tourist.  They frequently house new exhibitions and take part in local events, acting as a supportive part of the community.  In 2016 they celebrated the 150th anniversary of the lifeboats in Looe for example, by loaning some of its objects to the RNLI for a dedicated exhibition.  Admission is £2 for adults, £1 for children, and £4.50 for families.

Very interesting and a friendly welcome. Lovely historic building

Small museum but full of interesting artefacts. Well worth the £2 entry fee!

June 2018


Amazingly well-stocked, charming little museum, with efforts clearly made to interest both young and old. You can return as much as you like (for several months) on one ticket ... and to absorb all the information available, you may need to.

May 2018


The kids loved this compact museum especially the lady in the prison! We kept our tickets as you can return for free and they did, twice!! ????????
