Before setting off: check weather, tides, flood information, parking, toilets, public transport and the complete return journey. Keep working quays clear and never assume a filming location is open to visitors.

Looe base
Best for a compact walking itinerary around the harbour, Guildhall and Banjo Pier. Check gradients and parking before paying.
St Germans base
Useful for Port Eliot when it is open, with rail access that may reduce driving. Verify event and estate hours first.
Tamar Valley base
Best treated as a separate rural stay. Distances can be deceptive and private estates require confirmed access.
Check before you go
No stale certainty: transport, parking, access, opening and weather change. A useful guide tells you where to check—not just what was true once.
