I booked my holiday with Weststar Holiday Parks the company that own Looe bay caravan site. They also have other parks Mullion holiday park on the Lizard Peninsula, Sandford Holiday park in Dorset and Hayling Island Holiday Park Just between Portsmouth and Chichester.

East Looe

The caravan site is just one and a half miles away from looe. There are buses which run from Looe to Liskeard and Polperro. There is also a bus which stops outside the caravan park which runs from plymouth to Looe it is idea for those who dont have cars. Be warned buses usually run one every hour but you can pick up bus time tables and train timetables from the caravan site.
There is also a train single line track that runs from looe to Liskeard unfortunately when we we're there they were doing works on the track so there was a replacement bus service instead.
For those of you who are fit and like walking you can also walk down from the caravan site into looe. I have been told it takes around half n hour to go down and 3 Quarters of a hour to come back up again.
Be warned it is very steep and i was advised by other visitors who had done the walk not to attempt it with a buggy.
Needless to say we took the bus.

All caravans come with a fully equipped Kitchen full size cooker, family sized fridge, pots and pans, cutlery etc.
Colour TV Ours had a built in Dvd Player.
Bathroom with shower, wash basin and toliet
Bed linen and Duvets are provided, but would advise to take extra sheets and blankets as we found it does get rather cold first thing in the morning and at night.

Economy caravans do not come with a microwave but can be hired for £15.00 a week.

You can also hire, Travel cots, Cot sides, Highchairs and DVD players for your conveinece.

I was very impressed with how clean and nicely decorated the caravan was. Bear in mind the last time i'd been in a caravan was over 17 years ago when i was age 11 and back then we did not have a toliet, washing facilities, fridge or hot water in the caravan.

The caravan park had a indoor heated swimming pool which had seperate sessions for smaller children.It opens from 8am to 7pm and closes for lunch between 12.30-1pm This was included in the holiday price.
There was also a Amusement Centre which had the usual, Racing car games, shooting games, penny machines and also ten pin bowling. All for a additional charge.

For example the Under 5's would have sessions such as dressing up, Dancing, Storytime, painting etc. These normally lasted for a bout a hour one session in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Weststar have there own mascot which most of the children love and can often see in and around the caravan park especially during activities. How ever my 18month old was not keen and burst into tears everytime she spotted the big green dinosuar called Lizzie walking around.

There is a seperate pub called the Gull and Galleon which is joined to the restaurant area This has a satellite tv, Darts and quizzes, pub grub available as well as internet stations which are quite handy they cost 50p for 9 minutes.

A childrens menu is available for £3.95 this includes a main course with ice cream and squash.

There is a wide selection to choose from such as Beefburgers, Chicken burgers, pizza's and jacket potatoes.
It is open in the evenings from 5pm to late and the price is what you would expect to pay from somewhere like mac donalds or Burger king.

This was open from 8am to 6pm everyday. It was nice to be greeted by smiles and friendly faces. I bought most of my gifts here to take back home. They sell Rock and fudge,clotted cream biscuits and other such nick nacks.
The staff were very helpful and made you feel very welcome.

As i was only there for 4 days i got away with doing just one small load which costed me £3.00 for the wash and £1 to use the dryer. You can also buy washing tablets for 50p. For those of you who like to iron your clothes they have irons in the launderette free of charge.

It is best suited for families with small children and is idea for those who are on a small budget.
