Guests say
Guests have had enjoyable stays at Beyond Paradise, praising its central location in Looe, cleanliness, and the warm welcome with chocolates and wine. The flat is well-equipped, with a comfortable bed and a great shower. Some guests noted the need for maintenance and furniture updates, but these were minor compared to the overall positive experience.
Reviews consistently mention the flat being spotlessly clean, indicating high standards of cleanliness that guests appreciate.
The central location is highly praised for its proximity to shops, dining, and local attractions, making it an ideal spot for exploring Looe and the surrounding area.
The bedroom is described as bright and airy with a comfortable bed, but some guests found the sofa and dining chairs to be uncomfortable, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and a good shower. However, points were deducted for maintenance issues like the wobbly tap and the sofa bed's comfort.
Guests were delighted by the thoughtful touches of wine and chocolates upon arrival. While these gifts are warmly received, they are a courtesy and not guaranteed for every stay.

You can also take the river taxi from East to West Looe. East Looe has narrow cobblestone streets, twisting alleyways, and a plethora of tourist shops, whereas West Looe has a beautiful view of the harbour.
