  I am a ex travel agent of 18yrs & have stayed at a lot of places so this is my point of view.

  One of the roads which we needed to get to the Rivercrest was closed due to a previous landslide, We were not made aware of this. The caretakers didn’t explain the way to get to Rivercrest very well over the phone, it took a local man to give us fab & easy directions which we found Rivercrest straight away. Just go over the bridge to the West side take a left follow the road along the harbour turn right at the fire station which is in a square take the 3rd turning into North Rd on the right (it is very narrow be prepared to pull over & reverse back for on coming traffic) Rivercrest is up the top on the right hand side where the road forks off to the right, the sign could be bigger on the Gate. You can unload here but no parking as double yellows. You could be lucky as we were to get a space just back down the hill on the left, otherwise parking is pay & display apart from Millpool car park which you can pre book on line, this is hard to get too at the mo as the one road is closed. Pros: Fab views, great facilities in kitchen, cosy little place.prepare for a visit from the locals(seagulls) also a cute little Robin which I named Dave :-) Cons: beds are hard, had a bad back all week, bunk beds not suitable for adults as they state that they are, we had two 60yr olds on them, one kept knocking her head, not good as recovering from a bleed on the brain?! NO HAIR DRYER! This would be a nice touch. Stains on the rug in living room. Larger Tv needed due to positioning of sofas, size of the room & how high it has been put up onto the wall. Sofas not very comfy they could do with new ones. Cushions kept sliding forward on the sofa bed. The 18 steps down to the apartment are very STEEP so beware of this if thinking of booking. Downstairs garden could do with a tidy up. Freezer needs looking at as over freezing. Damp smell in the living room/kitchen area, it is coming from the boiler cupboard. Lit candles but they didn’t help as the smell was bad. Apart from this we had a lovely week but just a few things need addressing. Cheers

  We had an amazing holiday staying at Ferry View Cottage. The property was in a great location with a beautiful view over Looe and Looe River. The sitting room had a big window where you could look out while relaxing on the sofa. The cottage was in the quieter side of Looe (West Looe), which we preferred, and it had an amazing local store within an easy walking distance (5 min), which was open till 7pm. It had everything you ever needed for your holiday stay, and it also had a good delicatessen within. East Looe, where most of the shops and restaurants were, was also easy to walk to from the cottage, and this was perfect for our teenagers who could just go out by themselves. There is a large outhouse opposite the front door to store your water activity gear, which is where you'll find your freezer and washing machine. The cottage is near beaches, rivers, walks, activity facilities, which we took full advantage of. However, I would just warn you that the cottage is on a very steep uphill narrow road, as mentioned on the website, so if you have a wider-than-your-average car, you would not be able to enter the road. Other than that, we loved staying there and I would highly recommend this cottage!

  Even though we were aware that the property has been recently refurbished, it exceeded expectations!

  Everything has been recently replaced or decorated from the kitchen to the bathroom, carpets, furniture, the lot! We enjoyed the comfort of the lounge and the tv package also has sky cinema for the evenings. Breakfast on the balcony was a lovely way to start each morning. You can see the sea just over the field The location is fantastic. The property is in a quiet close and you are about 10 mins walk to the coastal path where you can walk to polperro (about 40 mins) or Talland Bay (about 15mins). The coast path is stunning. We saw Seals but several people mentioned seeing a pod of about 15 dolphins in Talland Bay the day before. It’s also just off the main road to Polperro, meaning you can quickly get on the main road in the morning and visit places further afield if you wish. We’d also recommend the pub at the caravan park a few minutes walk away and it’s worth mentioning that they do food and takeaway service too. Some take aways in Looe also deliver for a small delivery fee. There are designated spaces for parking of the carport or garage and while both can be squeeze (especially if there are other cars in the close) it is no hardship to park around the corner 50-100 yards away

  We had a great stay for my mums 70th birthday getaway, however a couple of issues were picked up. Toilet seat in main bathroom was broken on arrival which we did report. Cleaning could have been a little better, dusty skirting boards, remainders of cereal left in the bottom of the kitchen bin which we noticed when putting a bin liner in and black damp mold residue on the top of the under sink cupboard door in the twin en-suit. Radiator on the ground floor hallway was constantly hissing/whistling despite trying to turn it down/up/off. Also we didnt see any tea towels in the kitchen, however when unpacking clothes we did see two in the wardrobe which appeared to be clean. It was a great stay and fabulous shops and restaurants, none of the above issues ruined our stay, just to be aware that there is only one space at the property which the road to the property is very narrow, although dad did get his Sportage up there very carefully, however if you do not mind the walk there is a paid carpark on the key.

  This is a lovely cottage, with plenty of space. The living area is fantastic open and airy with delightful views over Looe. The sitting area and balcony is great. The kitchen is very well equipped and there’s plenty of space to store your food and supplies. We all found the beds very comfortable and the storage for clothes was very good . The lower rooms felt a bit a damp and chilly so we put on the heating in the evenings. Both showers were really good pleats of hot water and good pressure. The house is up a very narrow sloping road that is quite challenging and if you have a very large car or an anxious driver it would be very difficult and stressful. There are steep steps down to the cottage too. Which if you had a mobility issues or had small children or babies wouldn’t be ideal. The location for everything is fab though. Easy to walk around Looe, get the bus or the ferry. shops , beaches and restaurants are lovely friendly people everywhere. Definitely would recommend
