In addition to the above, there are a number of other car parks in Looe, including private car parks and on-street parking. It is always advisable to check the parking restrictions before parking, as some areas are only for residents or permit holders.

If you drive to Looe for your holiday and are staying for a week or more. Paying the daily rate for the carparks can be an expensive addition to your holiday since not all holiday cottages in Looe have a car park space, unlike Banjo Cottage.
So the cheapest way to park in Looe for a week is to;
1. find a road where it is free to park - Hannafore is a popular place for this but it is a good 15 minute walk from Banjo Cottage so may not be ideal if you are intending to go back and forth to your car a lot whilst on holiday
2. Buy a Weekly Pay on Exit ticket for the Millpool carpark in Looe. Whilst this may seem like a more expensive way to park, it actually works out cheaper for the week.
A weekly pay on exit ticket that covers Millpool car park in Looe costs £26.30 whereas paying the daily rate would cost you at least £73.50 for 7 days.
Buying your season car park ticket in advance will mean that you can come and go from the carparks as much as you like without having to worry about paying each time.
The barriers will automatically raise to let you out, but you do need to take a ticket each time you enter.
The seasonal car park tickets can be purchased directly from Cornwall council.
3. Book your Looe holiday at Banjo Cottage and you’ll get a permit for a free, reserved, space in Millpool carpark. You won’t get cheaper than free!
We are aware that the space in front of Banjo is small and there isn’t anywhere else to park next to the cottage. So, to help our guests we have purchased a reserved space in Millpool carpark. Banjo Cottage guests now have access to this reserved space in the Millpool carpark, for free, for the duration of their stay.
If your car is too big for the space in front of Banjo Cottage (and it is a small space that fits cars up to the size of a VW Golf) it now won’t cost you anymore to park in Looe. Once you’ve unloaded, you can pick up the permit from inside Banjo and head over the Millpool carpark.
Millpool is a pay and display car park so you can just drive in, head to the designated spot (found at the end of the carpark nearest the town). Park up, leave the permit on display on your dashboard and enjoy your holiday safe in the knowledge that you’re saving £26.30 for the week to spend on Cornish pasties.
