  The lodge was very well equipped and also nice and private with the trees and hedging planted around it.

  This is an excellent location and we would happily stay here again. The hot tub was a real treat to come back to after a day of exploring and a nice surprise to find a wine fridge in the kitchen as well. The bed was extremely comfortable, couch was comfortable and a decent sized tv with fast internet all added to our enjoyment. When we arrived there was milk in the fridge, tea, coffee, washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets too. Minor negatives: We could have used more hangers in the bedroom closet. Could use hooks inside the front door to hang coats and to hang the keys. Would have been handy to have hooks outside by the hot tub to hang towels. Another table and chairs on the south facing deck so you can sit out and anjoy the evening would be nice. A shelf in the shower to put shampoo and shower gel on would also be nice. There was no pole (that we could find) to open the skylights. We can understand though that some people might open them and forget so it might have deliberately been removed. These are all minor negatives and just suggestions, none of them would stop us staying here again. One thing that frustrated us during our stay though: We could never work out what the additional remote was for in the bedroom. We thought it might have worked the tv bracket over the bed (another nice touch) but it didn't seem to do anything. Would love to know what it did! In response to complaints left in some other reviews: In reference to the missing door on the washing machine, that's just cosmetic and have you considered that trying to get a replacement during lockdown can take months. There were a few spider webs, so what! Often you only spot those in a certain light and if you wipe them away they re-appear a few hours later. It's not the cleaners fault!

  This cottage was exactly what we were looking for and was described in the listing very accurately.

  It was quiet peaceful and above all very private but within easy reach of all local amenities and attractions. On arrival the accommodation was spotlessly clean and extremely well presented with every imaginable appliance/gadget available to ensure a comfortable stay. The quality of furnishings and fittings were of a very high standard with an exceptionally comfortable bed and superbly appointed bathroom again with very high quality fittings. A log burner with all the necessary equipment was, once mastered, a very cosy addition on chilly evenings although the whole property benefitted from underfloor heating which was very efficient. The cottage also benefits from extensive outside gardens and paddock for our dog. Fresh flowers with scones/cream and jam was a nice welcoming touch as was milk tea and coffee etc. This property was perfect in our opinion and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it for a wonderful quiet and peaceful break, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. My only other comment (not a criticism) would be to provide a folder with instructions on certain equipment within the property ie log burner, heating system and heated towel rail. Also to include the location of local amenities ie pubs restaurants and shops and also the wifi password. Overall a very satisfied customer.

  A fantastic location and a property full of everything you could need.

  The house was immaculate and well looked after. The hot tub was a favourite of our trip and, due to the location of it on the property, was very private and hidden. The bed was comfortable and there was not any sleep missed. Lots of worktop space for cooking and a large fridge/freezer to store food. A problem we did run into was that when showering (even with the windows open) we kept setting off the fire alarm. In the end we had to have the patio doors open which did raise privacy issues and it would’ve been nice if we could open the sky light to avoid this. The washing machine was a great touch when staying for a whole week however there was no clothes dryer or washing line to dry our washed clothes so we had to improvise with some string. A couple of improvements such as hooks by the hot tub for towels, a clothes dryer and a shower shelf to store shampoos would take the accommodation above and beyond. Having said that, it certainly didn’t hinder our time there, we absolutely loved our stay and would definitely recommend to others and will be back to stay again.

  This is a beautiful flat in a wonderful location in East Looe, with stunning views both along the coast and down the river estuary. We honestly think these are the best views we have had in any property in the West Country so far. The flat is fitted to a very high standard and there is everything you could need for a self-catering escape. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen is well-equipped. A chalk board full of useful tips and ideas for what to do in the region is provided which is a nice touch. The flat is also pretty much on the South West Coast Path. We thought it represented excellent value for money. Finding parking in Looe can be a challenge and to drop your kit off you need to be creative - we found a residential road that had a footpath to the back of the property of Hannafore; alternatively there is a short, very steep, pedestrian hill leading to the back of the property from behind the fire station. We would definitely stay here again if we were heading back to Looe.

  We had a lovely time away at Southern Place.

  Very clean, and tastefully decorated. The hot tub was great on an evening, and the surroundings were nice. The staff very kindly posted something my partner had accidentally left behind. There were a few minor things - There was no tv in the bedroom, despite photos showing this, and other reviews have stated the same, but it'd not been rectified. We had a call to check how our stay was going, but it was on the Monday PM, when we were leaving the next morning. We'd been offered the possibility of a TV for our last night, but I declined. The lodge could do with some coat hooks in the entrance, also some hooks by the hot tub so you don't have to walk in soaking wet. The fire alarm is right next to the shower, which was set off by the steam. Finding our lodge on arrival was a little difficult in the dark, lodge numbers could be more obvious. We'd definitely come back, it was lovely and cosy, listening to the heavy rain outside.
