What our customers say about their holidays

  We found Looe to be a lovely place.

  However, the property really let our stay down. It is in need of some investment/TLC and a really deep clean. We didn't enjoy being in the cottage because everything felt so dirty- the sofas, (under the sofas was disgusting), the kitchen floor, sides, I could go on. The cottage had a very fusty smell as well. Other notes- no bins upstairs, front garden needs cutting back- walking up the steep steps was difficult because of the overgrown bushes), oven needed trays- the one that was attached to the door wasn't big enough and was fixed too low, recycling- the guide said recycling could be taken to milpool car park- there isn't recycling facilities there, so we had to bring our recycling home (!!!!). The cottage could be beautiful and enjoyable if the above was taken note of. For the price we paid wholly disappointing.

  The location of the house was very good in that we could walk into Looe town (no parking necessary).

  It was not good however because of the steep hill we had to climb to get back to the house. Even worse were the steps leading up to the front door and up the back garden. Made of stone, they were extremely steep, very slippy, and the handrail buried in the bushes. This made getting heavy luggage both in and out very dodgy indeed as a fall would have been possibly serious. It was dangerous for everybody let alone people with limited mobility. In addition parking in the allotted space was often very difficult because of the narrowness of the lane and the fact that cars were nearly always parked directly opposite. The house itself was very spacious and comfortable and well equipped although some fittings needed to be improved. It was also unfortunately surrounded by some very shabby property in dire need of renovation.

  Downlea is a great place to stay, not far from the town and the beach, it is a lovely house built into the hillside with great views from the master-bedroom and with lots of room for all the family.

  It has a good sized parking space at the front for a small to medium sized car (we have a medium sized SUV which fitted fine), Wi-Fi and a good kitchen and bathroom with everything you are likely to need. There are three downsides. First the access via a narrow and steep stair case will make it difficult for some, but this would be significantly improved if the folliage were cut back and the steps jet sprayed making them less slippy when wet; the front of the house has masses of ivy stealing most the light from the main lounge making the room dark and hard to read in; and finally, three light bulbs were blown that needed replacing. All maintenance issues that if corrected would make this holiday property perfect!

  Downlea is a beautiful, well equipped and very clean cottage.

  However the absence of recycling bags/bins and basics such as dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid made the stay feel less like a holiday. Packing the car with a week's worth of recycling to bring home shouldn't be necessary, as Cornwall provides household recycling pick ups and all the neighbours put theirs out. Looe is a lovely place to stay, with great walks along the coast and along the West Looe River. There is an abundance of places to choose from to eat and drink. We enjoyed quiz night at the Jolly Sailors, and discovering the Garden Bar behind the Golden Guinea, a must visit on a sunny evening :) The food at both Ocean & Earth (Thai) and Chennai (Indian) is very good.

  We’ve been here twice now and both times the cottage has been a DELIGHT! The weather absolutely made the trip last week and we felt spoilt for choice with all the lovely beaches. The cottage is the perfect remote location so we’re not close to lots of footfall and noise. But also really easy distance to Looe and many amazing beaches. We love that we can have 3 dogs here, it’s not often you find places that allow more than 2. We will definitely be back next year! Highly recommend Lansallos beach and it’s less than a 10 min drive from the cottage. It’s been a wonderful time away and we never wanted for anything in the cottage, everything was there and more. Thank you.
