“Very nice place with excellent ...”

Very nice place with excellent views. The owner was keen to sort out the problem with the internet, which was a nice touch. I must point out that the problem was not of her making but she went to a lot of trouble to try and fix it. Would use Sykes again.

“steep access”

We arrived in looe and followed the sat navy instructions don't do this as we ended up on a vepery steep narrow road and damage our car trying to get back down as we couldn't get up it. Follow a map and take the main road round. When we arrived we couldn't get close go the property so had to walk up and down a steep hill with our luggage. Couldnt find parking space so had to park car in main carpark in town which cost 38 pounds for the week. I know that it states not suitable for elderly infirm or those with young children. Well we are none of those and still found it difficult. We ended getting a taxi up most day which only cost 5 pounds. The positive side of the holiday is that once in the property it is very comfortable with great views and looe is a beautiful place as is most of cornwall. Dont think we will book this accommodation again but would defiantly return to looe

“Excellent location and good clean ...”

Excellent location and good clean quality accommodation, could do with an umbrella for the outside table to allow you to enjoy the sunny days and maybe a couple of sun loungers but apart from that near perfect. One for the fitter holidaymakers, the steps (86) to Looe can be a challenge though once you have negotiated the decent you are only a few minutes from the centre of beautiful Looe. Connie who lives next door is very nice and knows a lot about the area and was a big help during our stay. A word of warning, if you are taking a dog beware of the cat that is sometimes behind the yellow sand bin at the top of the above steps outside the owners property, make sure you have your dog under tight control and if possible walk on the outer side of the path near the wall as far away from the cat as possible.

“This is a lovely cottage and a ...”

This is a lovely cottage and a great, central base for Looe and the surrounding areas! The cottage has a large kitchen and bathroom and the views are amazing! We spent late afternoons sat on the decking with a G&T just looking at the view! The shower is powerful and the beds are comfy! What more do you need!! We loved the fact that it is a 5 min walk into the centre of Looe! Yes, ok, the walk back is very challenging! However, it is quite quick and, with a couple of stops, makes you feel less guilty about eating so many pasties! It is a steep lane and then a flight of steep steps. We live in Derbyshire so we are used to hills! The neighbours next door are so friendly and even offered us more comfortable chairs to sit out with. There is a wooden table, four outdoor chairs and a decent BBQ stored in a outside cupboard. The only downside, and quite common in Cornwall, is the access to the cottage. You can’t park directly outside and you need to unload the car at the top of a steep lane and carry everything down. We did pay for a weeks parking on the main car park, but on most days we found parking on the access road above the property. This was fine for two of us with a dog, but could be tricky for people with very young children or mobility problems. We had a fantastic week and would certainly recommend or book this cottage again.

“This was an amazing cosy cottage; ...”

This was an amazing cosy cottage; we loved our stay. The children loved the walk up and down to the shops and beach; be warned it is steep but you feel a sense of achievement when you’ve mastered it!! Looe is a brilliant place to stay; pubs, shops and area are fab. We will definitely go back and would be very happy to stay at The Hillocks again.

“We were pleased with the location ...”

We were pleased with the location as we wanted to be in the town but also near to dog walks. Although you warned us that it was steep access we were surprised just how steep! This was not a problem until the snow came and we could see that access was going to get tricky (especially with no shovel or even a broom to clear it) so we left a day early. It was nice to have clean and well set up accommodation as often dog friendly places are tired and well used. We were warm and the WiFi worked most of the time, we would have left a positive comment in the book but the pen provided for this did not work! A hair dryer would be useful. I used Woodland Aromatherapy on Pendrim Road, opposite the accommodation and can thoroughly recommend Amanda for a relaxing massage.

“We have had a really lovely week ...”

We have had a really lovely week away at 6 The Hillocks. The views were spectacular and the cottage was warm and comfortable. The hill is definitely steep to and from the property and back up from Looe but the location is absolutely worth it. Pack wisely! The decking is an amazing extra space that has to been seen to be believed for the extra value it adds to the property.

“Lovely views and a great location.”

Lovely views and a great location. A very well equipped and comfortable apartment. Looe is a great town with plenty of good restaurants and cafes and shops. Really good situation for walks and trips along the coast with bus and train travel also on the doorstep. Just be aware, if you are not relatively fit, there are very steep roads and steps to and from the property!

About the location

LOOE

Liskeard 9 miles.

Looe is Cornwall’s second largest fishing port and hence there is always a lively maritime bustle around the quay area of East Looe, which is connected to the quieter West Looe by a seven arched 19th century bridge over the River Looe. You can also catch the river taxi between East and West Looe. East Looe has narrow cobbled streets, twisting alleyways and plenty of tourist shops, whilst West Looe has a lovely outlook across the harbour. Looe’s viewpoint, Banjo Pier, can be reached from the quay and is a great spot to watch the returning fishing trawlers and look across the bay to Looe Island, which can be walked to occasionally at very low tides. The sandy Looe beach adjoins the pier and is very popular with families because of its safe shallow swimming and vast expanse of sand. There is also a great rock pool area at Hannafore that children will love. West Looe has a Heritage Centre that recently opened in the Old Sardine Factory with a climbing wall and a cafe and the delightful Kilminorth Woods have way marked walks through the majestic oak wood, rich in plant, insect and bird life. Apart from beach activities in this part of south east Cornwall, there are many mining remains on Bodmin Moor and in the Tamar Valley and much of the mining landscape has World Heritage status. This area of Cornwall has inspired writers, such as Daphne du Maurier and much of Bodmin Moor has inspired legends linked with King Arthur. There is much to explore in this beautiful part of Cornwall.
