Our Next Coastal Walk - Hannafore to Polperro - from Dovers House B and B near Looe

Coastal Walk from Hannafore (Looe) to Polperro
Another Day out for Dovers House Bed and Breakfast


There is just so much to do in our local area of East Cornwall, I often comment that if we didn't own a B and B we just wouldn't know anything about it, so I try and promote what I can when I get the Chance!!

We have often taken the Hike from Hannafore to Polperro and back, it is such a lovely walk, and if your not put off by some steep parts, it is well worth it for the Spectacular views.

The walk took us around 1 hour and 15 minutes to get there, it is approximately 4 miles, but after a lot of storm damage over the past couple of years the path does divert a couple of times which makes it feel a bit longer!!

Saturday was an absolute heatwave so we set off thinking the breeze would help - but unfortunately there wasn't much of one!! We ended up in Polperro in much need of refreshment, and couldn't of been greeted with a more welcoming scene: The Polperro Festival in Full Swing; live music, outside bar,
 morris dancers and crowds of beaming people. The Atmosphere was truly unbelievable as what normally seems likes such a quiet little town really proved us wrong.

Bands Played throughout the afternoon, and the local Pubs and Inn's extended the Party by having live music afterwards. A real experience, and one that we would highly recommend for those who have never been.
The celebrations continue for 10 days - so you still have time to pop down and have a look at what is going on...

 Dovers House B and B Near Looe - Our Trip to Downderry World Oceans Day

Saturday the 7th of June was a day set to be full of fun and activity; and it certainly was that! 


As it is our first year at Dovers House B and B, we are very keen to get involved in what is going on it our local community. Unfortunately for all those looking forward to the Looe Mini Music Festival and The Grazing on the Quay, these events were cancelled on Saturday due to the weather and moved to July. However this gave us the opportunity to visit World Oceans Day at Downderry Village (just a few miles from our Looe B and B past Seaton Beach).
 
The Day was clubbed with Seaton, with events such as forradging walks, cooking demonstrations, a huge Paella and a Havana night. 

Unfortunately for us, the running of the Bed and Breakfast meant that we could only attend for a small part of the celebrations, however what we saw was truly amazing: A fantastic Community Spirit, and an education for Young and Old Alike.

The Village Hall was packed with stalls and displays, from Universities to Primary Schools, and from Boats, Beaches and Banana Cake!

We were also privileged to watch a Cooking Demo from The Blue Plates Chef Patron Nick Barclay - a delicious Salmon Recipe. 


 A Great Day for All the Family - I only wish we could have stayed longer!!!
