“Looe is a timeless Cornish harbour where the sea meets storybook charm.” – Lonely Planet

Teglio's is a converted 19th-century fish palace retaining its original character alongside contemporary luxury with a dedicated parking space for guests.

Highlights

Uninterrupted harbour views from every principal room, with south-west light filling the accommodation throughout the day

Games area featuring a pool table, foosball and home theatre with 65” media wall.

Perched directly on East Looe’s historic quay, this property stands as a remarkable tribute to Cornwall’s maritime heritage. Built in 1886 by “Fire Out Pengelly”, the owner’s great-great-grandfather, this three-storey former pilchard packing factory has been transformed into an exquisite 3,200-square-foot residence.

Accommodation is arranged across the upper two floors, with every principal room commanding an uninterrupted outlook over Looe Harbour towards West Looe. Oriented to the south-west, the home is bathed in natural light, offering a front row seat to the gentle procession of fishing boats and pleasure craft gliding along the river.

Awarded Visit England’s highest distinction, 5 Stars with the Gold Award, this property balances industrial heritage with sophisticated comfort. The chef’s kitchen and stone-topped bar create the perfect space for entertaining and is open to the dining area with an antique mahogany dining table. Adjacent, the vast living area includes seating for 10-12 together with a pool table, foosball and home theatre. Four well-appointed bedrooms include three super-king and one standard double, with two additional occasional single beds available when needed. Four bathrooms (two of which are ensuite) ensure privacy and ease.

The setting amplifies the experience. Looe doubles as the fictional town of Shipton Abbott in the television series Beyond Paradise, and the famed “Ten Mile Kitchen” known locally as the Sardine Factory sits directly opposite. The beach and Banjo Pier lie less than 200 metres away, surrounded by a genuine collection of pubs, restaurants, and shops. Pets are welcome upon approval. This is not merely a residence but a piece of Cornish history, reimagined for the discerning traveller.
