The apartment is in a fantastic location and the view from the lounge window across the beach is stunning. The apartment is a bit dated but everything we needed for the weeks stay for the two of us. Pictures on here are exactly how the apartment is.You pay for what you get so if you want a luxury stay this isn't for you - but if you want somewhere to sleep, have breakfast and come back for the evening this is your place. Great communication prior to our visit with details for entry and parking and making sure all was okay. Itinerary said fridge has a freezer compartment but its a new fridge so it doesn't have one - just in case people were thinking of taking frozen food. Wifi is available in the apartment so also a bonus.

Fabulous location

The apartment is well located and in easy walking distance to the main shopping area in East Looe. On arrival there was a mix up with the towels but this was sorted out very quickly. The kitchen lacked enough cutlery and dishes to enable the dishwasher to be fully filled before use but otherwise functioned well. The view from the lounge window was ever changing with the swiftly changing tides and always relaxing and interesting. I hope to stay again if when I return to the UK.

I love Looe & have stayed in other apartments within rock towers and have always found them to be perfect, unfortunately no.7 was very tired looking not as clean as it should be & bed very uncomfortable that resulted me sleeping on settee! I feel a washing machine would be more useful than a dishwasher!

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Aug, 2025
We are so very sorry that you felt our apartment wasn't what you were looking for. I felt that you having made contact with us within an hour of arriving and noting the apartment didn't have a washing machine was a clue. I'm afraid it's a while since the apartment had a washing machine as we replaced this with a dish washer so apologies for that. It is quite rare that guests use washing machines whilst on holiday but I'm aware that some like to. Turning to your journey from the train station,The short drive from the train station is about a 3 minute drive, that said it would have taken longer should you have been doing this journey by foot so we apologise if this wasn't clear. We cannot comment on the cost of that short journey being £10. Your comments re lack of toilet rolls, our cleaner usually leaves 1/2 toilet rolls for the week however this is not aimed at satisfying for the whole week as most guests will arrive with their own support toiletries suitable for a weeks stay. As far the shared parts of the apartment & the bathroom screen, history tells me this is always amazingly clean with lovely art work throughout so I shall double check your comments as a matter of urgency and rectify anything that requires amending. Again we're sorry to hear these negative comments and hope it didn't detract from your holiday in Looe.

Beautiful Sea View in Cornwall, basic accommodation

Very basic apartment, needs a good cleaning, towels and linen are nowhere near luxury, towels are old and do not even match. Main bedroom has nice bed, other two twin beds are not very comfortable for adults, Large burner on stove does not work, so if planning on cooking any meals, plan around that. No bath mat or tea towels, no garbage bags, or toilet paper, bring everything! One major disappointment is that from the description of Deck/Patio one would assume you had one, but you do not. All of the outside patio space belongs to other apartments and you will have no access. The price reflects these issues but the description is misleading, however the view (from the window) is spectacular!

Séjour très confortable

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour dans ce logement confortable et cosy offrant une super vue et un emplacement privilégié, avec parking. L’hôte a été très réactif quand nous avons manqué de certains équipements. L’appartement aurait besoin d’un léger rafraîchissement (notamment la moquette) et de rangements dans la salle de bain, mais tout est là pour passer un bon séjour.

Needs modernising!!

Great location however the accommodation didn’t live up to expectations. The bed covers smelt damp and didn’t fasten or fit the beds! There was only 1 wardrobe to fit 4 people’s clothes in . Hardly any clothes storage in the second bedroom. The towels also smelt damp like they hadn’t been dried properly. In desperate need of updating as have found since other apartments in the same block that look far more well cared for . Such a shame great location !!

We're so sorry to hear this. Having used outside contractors to do our cleaning & laundry we are disappointed to read this which we will, of course follow through. You might note we always follow through on negative reviews and had we known your findings via a phone call we might have been able to rectify. To answer your question on storage, there is a double wardrobe in the large bedroom and a double chest of drawers in the smaller room, (generally used by children, as the room is quite compact) . Most people's holiday clothes are of a casual nature and additional wardrobes have never been in question, until now, we just wouldn't be able to fit any more storage in ! That said All our reviews are subject to one's opinion and we do take that on board, in fact our last review ( before yours ) of the apartment which was just a week before ) gave us 5 stars, however that doesn't compensate for the way you are feeling, we're sorry if, on this occasion you feel our apartment fell short of your expectations.

Cosy Apartment

We found the apartment to be comfortable and in a good position to enjoy all that Looe has to offer, The view over the beach was excellent. Our only niggle was that the TV reception (freeview) was poor at times although this did not spoil our holiday which we really enjoyed.

Initial Impression

We entered the property to find the previous occupants bagged up rubbish and bagged up towels and bed linen in the hall of the property. It was not removed until we telephoned the caretaker the next morning. In this time of Corona 19 this is totally unacceptable and the caretaker was made aware of this. He made no apology and just said it was an oversight. Further inspection of the toilet showed very inadequate cleaning. For the price being charged for this property you can find better in the market place
Response from VrboOwner on 16 Aug, 2020
Hello Ralph I'm so sorry you had those problems with the rubbish in the hall way. This is totally unacceptable and will be taken up to find out just what went wrong. This is the first we have heard of it so we are very surprised. It would have been nice to hear how everything else was in your review. The comfort level, the ambience of the apartment, the magnificent, commanding views from the window, we'd so like to think you were very comfortable. This incident was a one off, ( and totally unacceptable as you say in these times ) but if you view some of the previous comments it will confirm that our apartment is always immaculate in it's presentation. I'm sorry to hear you had such bad weather too that must have added to your feelings. I can only apologise for the over site on the cleaner.. ..

Our stay in Looe

We had a fabulous weeks stay in this apartment. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was there. The view from the lounge was a beautiful site to wake up to each morning. We both enjoyed the location as it was very well situated to visit the lovely shops in Looe. A trip on the Looe valley line is a must!

Dear Robert Thank you so much for finding time to write such a wonderful review. I noted exactly when you visited which was November and would have been the start of the chilly weather. One thing we try to do is make the apartment as warm & cosy as it can be particularly for the winter months . It is always a pleasure to get reviews like this. It makes it so worthwhile, Thank you !

Top Lage mit traumhafter Aussicht

Die Lage und die Aussicht aus dem Appartment sind absoult Top!! Die Wegbeschreibung entspricht der Tatsache..es war alles leicht zu finden. Looe ist ein hübscher kleiner Fischerort mit schönen Geschäften und tollen Restaurants. Wenn man das Auto stehen lassen möchte, empfiehlt sich eine Wanderung auf dem South West Coast Path via Talland Bay (Zeit für einen Snack) nach Polperro. Die ca. 8 km sind wir in etwa 3 Stunden gelaufen. Für den Rückweg haben wir dann den Bus genommen, der direkt am Crumplehorn Pub in Richtung Looe fährt. Auch eine Busfahrt nach Plymouth oder eine Bahnfahrt mit der Looe Valley Line nach Liskeard können wir empfehlen. Das Appartment ist recht klein aber für 2 Personen ausreichend. Es ist alles soweit vorhanden, das WLAN funktioniert einwandfrei. Wir sind nicht sehr anspruchsvoll, aber das ein oder andere könnte dennoch aufgefrischt werden. Wir waren für eine Woche hier und können es weiterempfehlen.

Es war unser schönster Urlaub

das Bild mit Sicht auf die Mole entspricht der tatsächlichen Sicht aus dem Wohnzimmerfenster. Die Wohnung ist schön ausgestattet, sogar WLAN war verfügbar. Die Betten sind in Ordnung und es ist fast alles da, was man braucht. Der Zugang zur Wohnung und der Parkplatz sind ausgezeichnet organisiert, es gibt sogar einen Personenaufzug. Die Ablage im Bad unter dem Spiegel war nicht vorhanden, es gab gar keine Ablagemöglichkeit im Bad, da Waschbecken, Badewanne und Wasserkasten eine angeschrägte Oberfläche haben. Insgesamt sind wir mit den Gegebenheiten gut ausgekommen und finden diese Ferienwohnung sehr empfehlenswert.

Looe overview :)

Free parking in Looe for a start..then a fabulous view to the east from the living room window of the beach and the banjo, with changing light and the very best people watching. Great for the three of us, a couple with one child. Clean, tidy, uncluttered, comfortable and cosy. A short walk to be able to climb the rocks and fish for crabs. Perfect.

Schöner Ausblick aber schlechter Zustand

Die Unterkunft ist schlicht - teilweise nicht sehr geplfegt aber sauber. Ich hätte drei Sterne vergeben, denn das Fenster zur Hafeneinfahrt macht vieles wett.Grund für die drastische Abwertung sind mehrere Defekte im Bad sowie an der Kaffeemaschine, die der Hausverwalter und der Vermieter trotz mehrfacher Telefonate nicht binnen einer Woche zu beheben bereit/in der Lage waren.

Wonderful view. Flat a bit tired

View from living over Looe harbour is wonderful. Would have five stars but property is a bit tired. Only one cereal bowl. Uncomfortable sofa which hadn't been hoovered properly. Towels had seen better days. No instructions as to waste disposal/recycling. Maybe a bit picky but had just come from another property which had a welcome pack, with milk, provided washing up liquid, salt, pepper etc.

We have just come back from a week in rock towers looe. Apartment was clean & tidy on arrival. Fairly basic but had everything we needed for our stay. We spent quite a lot of evening time in the apartment because we had our 10 month old son with us, it was really relaxing watching the tide come in & go out. Beautiful views from the front room.

About the host

Hosted by Keith and Denise Chalk

Host profile image
We are Denise & Keith. We located to Cornwall nearly 7 years ago having been in full time business for over 40 years working in London. Since then we have enjoyed holiday destinations as our career both in the form of cottages and of course our apartment based in Looe. We are now retired and focus on helping to achieve a first class, classic holiday destination for our customers.
We live locally to the apartment.

Why they chose this property

We started holidaying in Looe about the same time. We were bowled over by the scenery and the quaintness of the area. As we enjoyed our frequent trips down here we began to make many friends. We loved the friendliness of the people. We knew that one day, and when we retired we would live down here permanently.
We love living in a close knit community which is a novel experience and a welcome one having spent many years both working and living in a big town.

What makes this property unique

The apartment is really lovely because the area has all the amenities of a perfect Cornish destination. However, when we were visiting our apartment ( about 4 times a year ) we just loved the simplicity of going down to the quay, buying fresh fish ( caught the same day ) and we would take it back to the apartment, cook it and spend a few hours over the meal with a nice bottle of white, overlooking the sea ! This area is a wonderful destination whatever the season.
Quiet location but all amenities close by within a few minutes stroll
