  I'm very sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your stay at my holiday apartment which I pride myself on offering a lovely holiday experience to guests.

  This is reflected in the wonderful feedback this property typically receives and the return visits of many guests . It can be seen clearly on the property images how elevated this property is, which benefits the fantastic views that guests frequently comment on. I'm sorry if this was not what you were looking for on your stay. The steeper steps lower down have gravel embedded in the surface to offer a good grip to minimize any slip risk, even in wet weather. The photographs were taken by Sykes and are very representative of the kitchen, which is a small area but offers the essentials as described on the listing. ~ as are the bedrooms and bathroom. I cleaned the property myself to the highest standard and I'm very surprised to hear you had any issues of this nature when you arrived as I had given it personal attention shortly before. Had you mentioned any of these problems at the time, either to myself - or Sykes I would have attended immediately to put things right. As you can see from the large number of feedback for this property - cleanliness is a priority and not something guests have made any complaints upon in the past ~ quite the reverse The flowers were fresh for your booking, as was the water they were in. The plug holes are treated between every booking to ensure they are clear. I would like to offer an apology as you did find the coffee sachets provided to be out of date, these have been removed and I will keep an eye on this in future to ensure this doesn't happen again ~ the tea and sugar are replenished after each visit. I'm sorry The Knoll was not the right holiday home for you, however I'm pleased it has not served to put you off visiting the very beautiful Looe in future.

  If you are driving to this property, please do not make the same mistake as me, it will taint your experience. Do not attempt to drive your car to the property (particularly any car larger than a corsa, fiesta, micra etc…) Book Pete in advance he is a super friendly chap who provides an excellent service. He will deliver your luggage to the door for only £8 (subject to change) You can find him on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/1AvZjb6zrA/?mibextid=wwXIfr (+44 7810 644449‬). My advice to you, is park at the Millpond carpark as suggested by the host and transport your belongings via Pete. If you attempt to drive your vehicle to the property, expect to scratch both sides badly. Otherwise, the cottage is perfect, very cosy, reasonably equipped (I managed to make a full Christmas Dinner). The walk into Looe takes about 10mins (max) down hill. I guess if you struggle with steep inclines, going back to the cottage might be a challenge. Looe is a lovely place with a wonderful beach, great walking routes, friendly people and amazing pasties (try Sarah’s pasties). I will return as it’s a perfect getaway.

  Spotlessly clean.

  However the property seemed to be designed for good display photos leaving no room for our things. Every shelf there was had picture perfect stuff on it. Although the ‘kitchen’ was tiny it was well equipped and the only cleaning utensils I could find was a dust pan and brush but that was enough to sweep the kitchen floor with. The main issue was the heating and hot water. Although Maggie tried to stress we only have to ask to have the heating/hot water on outside her 3 hour morning and 3 hour evening regime I personally found the idea of doing that very uncomfortable. Therefore we were cold early morning and cold after 9pm, as well as having to wash in tepid water if out of the allotted timings. Overall the flat was show room quality, definitely quirky but the surroundings fairly grim and perhaps the very steep hills to walk into town should be stressed in the on line blurb.

  A lovely comfortable apartment.

  Pleasant little balcony with great views looking up the West Looe River; we saw some stunning sunsets from there. Beds were comfortable and bathroom was fine, with modern spacious shower. Some points for prospective clients to note: East Looe is a 5-10 minutes walk, but it's down a very, very steep hill with many steps. Getting back would be a real struggle for anyone who's a bit unfit or with mobility problems. But it is only £4 for a taxi and we understand there's also a bus, though rather irregular. There are also steep narrow steps down to the front door. The parking spot is OK, but a bit small/awkward if you have anything larger than a mid-sized car. The kitchen is tiny and lacks an oven. The hob is only two rings. Don't expect to be able to cook a family meal there - unless you're a real wizard.

  "We had a lovely stay at Lowena Cottage.

  Nice things about the cottage - comfortable bed, fast-reliable wifi, quiet neighbourhood, great views out the back, easy walk into town, having dishwasher and washing machine was great. Parking wasn't too bad - we parked around 10 minutes walk up the hill on Bodrigan Road for the week. Didn't need car too much, so it was fine up there. Not so nice, but not deal breakers - tv is a bit old and needs updating, shower not the best, but ok, neighbours on either side a bit noisy from time to time, (house music on one side, (4 times during 2 weeks), screaming child and yelling parents on the other, (daily) - I know not controllable), would have been nice to have some outdoor furniture as there were a few nice days whilst we were there. Would stay again as it's a great location for Looe.
