What our customers say about their holidays

  Overall we were happy with everything Cornish Horizons (aka Original Cottages) did to describe the property and provide support. We were happy with the property too apart from one issue. The very low score on the cleanliness is only because the mattress on the bed had an unpleasant smell (a bit like sweaty feet), which meant we were uncomfortable the first night, until we stripped the bed, stopped using the duvet, and eventually worked out that it was the mattress that smelled, not just the duvet or mattress cover (we thought it was at first it was the duvet, then the mattress cover, but we think they smelled because they had been in contact with mattress). Apart from that, the rest of the property was clean and well presented. I can appreciate that spotting that the mattress smelled bad is probably not something the owner or cleaner would have easily noticed (unless they had tried to sleep in the bed). Hopefully, the owner has done something about the mattress after the comments I called and left with Paige on 0333 0151348 and the note I left on the stripped mattress for the cleaner/property owner.

  The flat itself was lovely.

  It was clean, spacious and appeared well maintained. Unfortunately the promised welcome pack wasn’t there on our arrival but the owner kindly sorted this out by the following morning which was really welcome! Sadly, our stay at this flat was ruined by the noise from the restaurant below. Yes, the fact the flat is above a restaurant is mentioned in the details but the reality of this situation was very upsetting for us. There is clearly no soundproofing between the restaurant and the flat and you can feel vibrations from the music and conversations through the bedroom floors which went on until very late in the night, keeping us all awake and upsetting the children greatly. Sleep and rest while on holiday is vital but this situation resulted in only getting minimal sleep each night and coming home feeling horribly tired and disappointed. It’s such a shame the restaurant noise has spoilt such a lovely flat and a potentially relaxing holiday. We sadly would not recommend this particular place, sorry.

  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.

  A lovely comfortable apartment, really clean and superbly equipped with everything needed and more.

  It has a very large shower room with a great walk in shower and a nicely furnished lounge.The bed was really comfortable but unfortunately there were no windows in the bedroom. The property is very convenient for the coastal path from Portmellon Cove which is about 5-10 minutes walk away and has a lovely cafe serving take away drinks & food, (the pasties & cake are delicious) and also a pub (this doesn’t serve food). Gorran Haven beach is a 10 minute drive away and is a lovely sandy beach, gently shelving. It also has a bar and cafes. There is a small outside patio at the property by the front door. The property is described as a short walk from Mevagissey, but it is a very steep walk and not suitable for everyone, so we had to use the car much more than we had planned. For guests with no mobility issues this would be a great choice.

  Fantastic stay ,cannot fault it in anyway .

  The flat is like a tardis ,and the photos don’t do it justice .It is based right on the doorstep of mevaggissey,but still far enough back that noise is not an issue . Clean and fresh smelling upon entry. Beds super comfy . High quality tvs , wfi connection perfect. The owner left a great welcome pack,no expense spared . There’s also a few games supplied . Car parking which is free when you stop at the flat ,car park is 3 mins away, and the owner of the car park is so helpful. Yes it is above a restaurant which you can vaguely hear until about 10 ish ,it didn’t bother us in the least ,and cannot understand past reviews. We had to leave early due to illness ,which I’m sad about . All in all I can highly recommended this property ,and would return The owner/owners should be proud of themselves .
