Absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend. The views are stunning and the facilities are great. The hill was a bit of a challenge but once in the property that is quickly forgotten. Would highly recommend.

A relaxing Christmas

Stayed with my husband and daughter. We had a lovely time in Looe over Christmas- even some sunshine on Christmas Day . The property is beautiful with the most stunning views. Equipped with everything you could wish for during your stay no matter what time of year. The town is pretty and very welcoming. Would certainly stay again.

Lovely apartment

We loved our stay in Looe. The apartment was lovely, it had everything we needed, was in a great location. We enjoyed the view, even the walk up the big hill! Driving through the town was an experience given its tight little streets. We walked the suitcases back to the car park instead at the end of our stay!

We booked this place as a part of our honeymoon trip to England and within 30 minutes of checking in, we contacted Stella and extended our stay!The views from the apartment are just breathtaking, this apartment changed our approach to exploring Cornwall entirely! Originally we planned to get out and drive to each of the towns and explore as much as we could… but after checking out some of the more “popular” towns, we realised Looe was all we needed! You cannot beat taking a stroll into town for a few hours and being able to return home for a glass of wine with a view! We throughly enjoyed our stay and are grateful to Stella for being flexible with our booking! - The price is totally reasonable for what you’re getting.- The town is 10/10 our top Cornwall destination now, largely due to the convenience and views from this place.- The parking situation across town is honestly so much better than having to worry about driving up and down the tight streets… and 26 for the week is great!- The walk up the hill is perfect to burn off all the calories from eating at Kelly’s or Yamas!- Plenty of board games/puzzles for a rainy day.- Well equipped kitchen.- Fantastic host!This review should positively encourage you to not only stay in Looe, but book THIS apartment!

Beautiful property with incredible views!

Absolutely beautiful property in East Looe with incredible views of Looe beach and the sea beyond! The apartment is of a very high standard with comfy sofas and a nice lounging chair! Beds are very comfortable and both of the double bedrooms have an en-suite.A word of warning though is that the climb, although short is extremely steep. The road is also very narrow, so driving up is not suitable for wide vehicles with a low ground clearance. I can highly recommend staying at this property and if I can’t buy it myself, I’ll definitely stay again

Beachhouse with a view

Had the most wonderful time with amazing views . The decor was well done - loved the open air feeling. The kitchen was beautifully equipt for any cook. All the touches and details provided. The climb up the hill to get to the property was a bit steep , but in the end it was what provided the best views. Perfectly located to walk to the beach and in town. When getting up early before the shops open provided a peaceful walk on the beach and thru the town . Thank you - loved our stay .

wonderful views in a beautiful holiday home

We enjoyed every minute of our stay, totally blown away by the views from all four windows/french doors. Great location above the beach and high street up a very quaint, short but steep hill, was well worth the effort.We found Looe a delight, great beach, shops eateries & Quay. Having to leave the car in the carpark was very refreshing too, it felt like a proper holiday, we never used it once. Please please put some good blackout curtains up in the children's room thou, we want to come back & that's the only thing we'd need to change, as the current blinds let in nearly all the daylight, so we couldn't put our little ones to bed until far too late :)

Amazing

We had a wonderful stay. The view is spectacular and the communication with Stella was easy and great. The apartment has everything you need. You can feel at home. Looe is a pretty town, lots of great shops, pubs and restaurants. The kids loved the crab fishing and climbing. Tintagel and St Ives are recommended, too. Notice: in England are sockets, which are different from german ones. However, there are USB connections in the apartement or adapters can be bought in the city.

Stunning apartment

We only had a couple of nights stay with the intention of just chilling for the weekend. Everything about the apartment was as expected with the only disappointing part being that the heating wasn’t working in the main living area. The plumber arrived to look at it as we were leaving so it should be fine for everyone else. We would definitely recommend staying here as it was just a blip that sadly affected us.

Great View of Looe

We enjoyed our first visit to the Southwest of England. The accommodation was in a perfect location to view the town and the surrounding beaches and ocean. The only disadvantage to not only Looe but many towns is that parking is limited and guests must be prepared to walk a distance to car parks and also navigate steep hills. We found this to be a challenge at first, but then enjoyed the exercise! The accommodation was very clean and well equipped. Unfortunately for us the wifi was a problem but I am sure this was just a glitch in the system. Overall I would not hesitate to recommend this location to future travellers!

Great Apartment, Great Stay, Great Host

Lovely little apartment with spectacular views. It had everything we needed to be comfortable and the host, Stella, was responsive, friendly and gave detailed, genuinely useful information. Just one warning, it's up a VERY steep hill but at just 2-3 mins to walk into town, it isn't particularly problematic. I'm recovering from a serious leg injury and the hill was difficult but fine as long as I took it slowly. At the top of the hill are winding steps down the cliff side onto the beach. The payoff of course is the spectacular views. You won't get a larger car up the road and there's no parking at the property so be prepared to park in the town and walk up. We had reservations about this but found it to be no problem at all. We managed to park in the Harbour car park 3 out of 4 nights and in Millpool (cheaper but slightly further away) for the other. We had no problems with security in either car park with many vehicles parked in them overnight due to the lack of parking at many of the properties. Parking was nearly a deal breaker so I'm really pleased we took the risk as it paid off; it really isn't a problem.

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Familienurlaub mit 4 Personen verbracht. Die Wohnung ist wunderschön, Blick auf den Strand 10min Fußweg zum Strand. Man kann mit einem kleineren PKW bis zum Haus fahren. Wir dachten erst wir müssen durch eine Fußgängerzone fahren, da komplett voll aber man darf mit dem PKW ganz normal durchfahren, das muss man wissen sonst verzweifelt man als Deutscher. Die Wohnung ist komplett eingerichtet wir haben öfters gekocht. Gleich in der Strasse ist DAISY mit leckerem Frühstück auch für Veganer..
