The Ship Inn sits on Fore Street in the bustling fishing town of East Looe, approximately 20 miles west of Plymouth. With a population of around 5,500, the town offers a strong local customer base, complemented by high visitor numbers throughout the year. Looe is well connected, with the scenic Looe Valley Railway linking the town to Liskeard, and the A38 just 8 miles away providing access into Cornwall and beyond. The town itself offers a full range of amenities, including shops, schools and a vibrant harbour area that draws tourists year after year.

Located in one of Cornwall’s most popular seaside towns, the Ship Inn benefits from a steady flow of locals alongside significant seasonal tourism, making it a dynamic and rewarding business to operate.

Internally, the Ship Inn provides a spacious, flexible layout centred around an open-plan bar, zoned into distinct areas for dining, drinking and games. The space includes two dining areas, a pool and darts section, and a central bar suitable for both vertical drinking and casual dining, allowing for adaptable day-to-night trading. A well-sized commercial kitchen supports a traditional bar food offer, with clear scope to grow food as a core part of the business. The property also benefits from eight letting rooms, comprising a mix of doubles, twins and singles, offering a valuable additional income stream.

The Ship Inn is positioned on the main street within East Looe and does not currently benefit from external trading space. While there is no beer garden or outdoor seating, the central location ensures strong footfall and visibility throughout the year.

The private accommodation is located at the top of the building and comprises a self-contained flat with two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and bathroom, offering comfortable living space separate from the main trading areas.
