Fabulous location as it very central. Views from the property are amazing. The property is very well equipped catering for all ages and days when you just decide to stay in and relax!As others have mentioned the property is situated on a steep hill. We were a party of ladies aged 65 and we coped with it!

The apartment was beautifully appointed in lovely little Looe. Having two bathrooms was such a bonus and the space was open to the sea. All the amenities were there- check under the bed for beach chairs. And Stella was super at communication. It’s our favourite spot so far. It is up a hill for those with mobility considerations.

4 adults 1 child stayed here over new year. Upon arrival the property was extremely clean and well presented. The views over Looe and out to sea were amazing. Especially on New Year's Eve when watching the amazing Fireworks display. The property is very central to all restaurants, pubs and amenities. Yes the property is at the top of a steep hill but this didn't bother us. I would recommend to anyone considering Looe and would certainly love to return

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!
