Wow what a place! The views are unrivalled with the sea and beach to one side and the estuary and rolling hills to the other. Always something to look at and great to have the shared rear/side picnic bench for extra sunshine. Clean and ideal accommodation for us as a family of 4 ( with two kids sharing a bed) plus parking which is a bonus too. Would definitely return to this fab town and great apartment.

The apartment must have the best view in West Looe! You could sit on the balcony all day watching the river and the beach and never be bored. The apartment was clean, very well-equipped, and just what we needed for a relaxing break and recharge of batteries. Hope to return one day.

Very comfortable, homely and clean
We stay at the Mainsail multiple times every year and it is just like returning home.
The management of the property is faultless and we are always made to feel extremely welcome; nothing is ever too much trouble.
Looe is also a lovely place to stay with lots to do in the town, and other little villages are easily accessible too so please explore.
I am always sad to leave and start planning the next visit by the time I get home.

Amazing Place To Stay
What a fab property with unreal views of Looe Harbour.
From our booking to arrival Sam was an amazing host, providing a real Cornish welcome of cream tea, fruit, bread, mil, tea and coffee for our arrival.
Mainsail has everything you would need including WiFi and sky, a must for any teenager.
The property was spotless, we were provided with towels and plenty of tea towels too.
We are planning to return it was that good
Highly recommended property and host

Great flat. Great views. Friendly host (scones, clotted cream, jam and loaf of local bread on arrival). The flat also has a smart tv so netflix etc is available and also a full sky package (including movies and sports). We love Looe and will be coming back and will (hooefully) come back to "Mainsail"

The view is stunning, it really made the holiday. The apartment was spotless and had some really lovely touches such as scones, clotted cream and jam to welcome us. Sam was a perfect host and greeted us with a smile despite us arriving later than planned. The whole flat was well stocked and a good size for the 4 of us. A car parking spot was a massive bonus and also despite being up high there is a short cut to the town. All in all I would definitely recommend this property!

First Class as always
The Management of this accommodation is superb, nothing is ever too much trouble. You feel at home as soon as you walk in the door and the little touches like a welcome pack are so lovely and thoughtful. We holiday here at least 4 times a year and each time is a joy. I am always sad to leave. The apartments are always clean and extremely comfortable. Looe town itself is so charming, each time we go we discover more to this beautiful place and can see us going back for many years to come; I have utterly fallen in love with all it has to offer 💕

This is the most amazing little flat! The views are incredible from the lounge, Kitchen, and large bedroom. The view from the double bedroom is of the river and still lovely.
We were met by Sam who showed us all we needed to know - including the shortcut walk into town. It is fairly steep in places so may not suit those with mobility issues, but it is worth the climb if you can make it. Literally everything in this apartment is perfect - from the goodies left by Sam, to the parking underneath the house.
The only downside to our stay was that it wasn't long enough - we will be back to make up for that!!

A very clean apartment with spectacular views overlooking Looe harbour.
This is our second visit to the Mainsail apartment. We are a family of five with two small dogs. Once again Sam welcomed us with a cream tea, fresh bread & juice and also fresh flowers in the apartment. Attention to detail with the little touches mean so much. Everything you need for self catering is already provided. Fresh bedding, towels including the use of white goods.
This lovely apartment looks out over the harbour and river. Perfect for watching the sunrise in the morning and the shooting stars at night.
A beautiful and relaxing location. I would recommend this Clipper House and the apartments to all.
Samuel is very quick to respond to any queries that you may have regarding Clipper House and the apartments.

A little piece of Cornish Heaven
We have stayed at The Mainsail and The Crows Nest many times, its like a home from home. Sam always makes the accommodation spotless and his finishing touches like a welcome pack is always gratefully received. We have never had a problem with any of our visits but know that Sam would do everything in his power to ensure any issues were resolved to ensure we had the best stay possible. Looe is delightful; there are so many cafes, restaurants and pubs within a 10 minute walk to the centre and there are other places within a short drive that are worthy of a visit too if you do not want to use the car too much.
We have dogs and everywhere is dog friendly, there is a beach next to the main one and a short walk from Clipper House is Hannafore beach also. There is a kiosk and a tea shop by the tennis club that sells refreshments so you can enjoy 'a cup of tea by the sea'.
You will thoroughly enjoy your time here, I can't wait for our next visit.

About the host
Hosted by Paula Carter
We fell in love with Looe, having never been to Cornwall before, 2016. We originate from East Sussex & relocated in 2019 Phil and I have worked many years in hospitality, property, sales and marketing. Ryan our son left us to go to University in Manchester & we hunted for the perfect holiday home for guests to enjoy - it's taken time but, we know we have, here at Clipper House. It's a unique property with The Best Views in Looe. - It was a hotel previously and was later owned by Dawn French, whom we purchased it from. We are now taking it to the next level, we look forward to welcoming you.
Why they chose this property
Clipper House is built into the rock, at the highest point in West Looe. Its one property split into 3 self catering holiday homes. Each unit has stunning views (which is one of the factors that made us choose it) offering panoramic views of Looe, Harbour, Estuary, Banjo Pier and then out to the sea following the coastline
What makes this property unique
We include parking in all tariffs, another USP for Looe - Stay once and you'll be hooked , and want to board Clipper again - Guaranteed
