Lowena Cottage

Lovely well equipped place.

We cooked xmas lunch for 7 and had enough crockery etc. Be aware of precipitous cottage stairs which are quite normal Nice touches like books cds and toys. Tea coffee and milk provided on arrival fir a day. Lovely and clean. Small kitchen area but all good. We would go back. Use the local trailer guy if you have heavy/lots of luggage and have a car as the road up is mega steep. Just like all the roads in Looe.

really enjoyed our stay here.

it is a lovely cottage, very comfortable and well looked after.

It was our first time in Looe and we will most definitely be back.

We have fallen in love with Cornwall. The cottage was absolutely pristine and was like a home away from home, it had everything we needed and more. We were unaware as to how hilly the town was and although the details state that people with poor mobility would not cope, we feel that the steepness of the hills and location of the cottage wasn’t highlighted enough. Not being able to drive to the property added to this as we had three trips to the car and back to unpack.

The property was very clean.

The issue we had is that the decking area at the back was being repaired when we got there. All they did was put a bracket on to the decking to hold the wobbly handrail in place. We were told not to lean on it as it could give way. The whole decking area especially the upright handrail and steps leading down to the lower garden should be REPLACED with a more suitable structure and possibly a composite decking product. Consequently we did not even use this area. The garden at the bottom of the property needs some work tidying up. We has a slow worm (massive) enter the kitchen was not a nice experience As this is really a terraced house the noise from next door No 2 was unbearable their TV was so loud you couldn't hear yourself speak. All of these issue impacted on our holiday and would not book anything else like this in the future. If needed I have taken photographs and a video of the unsuitable decking area showing the wobbly handrail.

This is our second visit to Lowena Cottage.

We visited last June [see previous review]. This is the first time we have returned to a Sykes property and we were not disappointed. We still found it to be very clean and comfortable with a home from home feel with everything we could want provided. We particularly like the outdoor space and the lovely views. The owner is very kind and helpful. We highly recommend this property and intend to return.

Great cottage with amazing views and all the facilities you could want.

You may want to use the shuttle service to transport your luggage if you're not an experienced driver. The car park for the week is on the millpond, just a 15-minute walk away, at £ 27.50—a bargain. I will be revisiting as soon as I can.

A wonderful cottage with everything we needed and more.

Thank you for the thoughtful touches, it was much appreciated.

We had an excellent stay, good location for walking into Looe, the house has everything you need, nice touch with the fudge and milk on arrival, thank you x

Very clean and comfortable.

Lovely views from main bedroom.

Lovely cottage, had everything we needed, the fudge, tea coffee and milk were a nice touch.

Only downside was some of the pillows were lumpy, but the beds very comfortable. We found dirty knives in the drawers, which wasn't too much of a problem, but would be good if the drawers were checked. Only other thing was the sykes cottages Web confirmed check in at 4pm, when we got there, the guy checking over the property was actually there, and said he expected us to arrive at 3pm, so some communication is needed between the owner and sykes, as we would have arrived earlier if we could. Overall though, a really lovely property

We were very happy with Lowena Cottage.

Very clean, comfortable and convenient for the train, buses and town. It has wonderful views. We saw some lovely pink sunsets. Very good outdoor space too. It is our favourite of all the Sykes cottages we have stayed in. My husband said there were no tall glasses when he wanted a cider, only wine or shot ones, a minor detail. We noticed that the log burner had a sign saying not to use it, as it was not in use. Luckily, good weather for us, so not needed.

Was a lovely holiday.

Lovely property. But the hills were to much for us to keep going up and down.we are 60 and 64 yrd old and the hills killed us everyday

The house was very nice and we enjoyed our few days there in spite of the weather.

The major drawback is the extremely steep access to the property - very demanding on foot and impractical by car given the absence of parking (even for a few minutes) coupled with the difficulty of tyre-grip, particularly in the wet. Unfortunately the location issue is something that would prevent us from recommending the property to anyone else.

Really lovely cottage, once we sorted out parking arrangements on residential street short walk that was great and town a little walk but good exercise.

Cottage had all the homely touches wonderful view and very cosy thank you.

Cottage good, the access issues well documented, use the Looe luggage transfer service, see Facebook, well worth it and only £8, after a week of walking to the cottage I didn’t have to stop for breath

Lovely property.

Well equipped and comfortable. Very clean. Clear instructions within property. Would highly recommend.

This is a perfect holiday cottage.

Clean, comfortable and cosy. Owner has taken a lot of time to provide all necessities and more (milk in fridge, teabags and coffee). Very useful information in folder of local area and recommended places to visit. Books to read in wet weather. I would not hesitate to return for a relaxing, home from home break.

We had a really wonderful time.

driving up was as reported a nightmare,another time would definitely book a taxi but property itself was lovely and well equipped . It was a nice walk to beach and into town with beautiful views..

Lovely cottage parking is an issue with the car struggling on the very steep roads but not insurmountable.

Well equipped and spotlessly clean,

"We had a lovely stay at Lowena Cottage.

Nice things about the cottage - comfortable bed, fast-reliable wifi, quiet neighbourhood, great views out the back, easy walk into town, having dishwasher and washing machine was great. Parking wasn't too bad - we parked around 10 minutes walk up the hill on Bodrigan Road for the week. Didn't need car too much, so it was fine up there. Not so nice, but not deal breakers - tv is a bit old and needs updating, shower not the best, but ok, neighbours on either side a bit noisy from time to time, (house music on one side, (4 times during 2 weeks), screaming child and yelling parents on the other, (daily) - I know not controllable), would have been nice to have some outdoor furniture as there were a few nice days whilst we were there. Would stay again as it's a great location for Looe.

We enjoyed our stay - well equipped and maintained cottage with detailed guest information.

10 mins stroll into Looe and in a quaint partially residential area (very friendly neighbours). Vehicle access is up a very, very steep lane and not for the feint hearted - not a place for those who struggle with inclines or steps. We are not particularly fit 50 somethings and it did us good! .I am not sure if details for quad bike luggage service was on the initial booking email, but search for Pete luggage delivery Looe who will take your luggage up for £5-7.

Lovely well equipped cottage.

Enjoyable stay. Will definitely book again.

Spent a wonderful few days relaxing at this gorgeous cottage with a wonderful view.

We took our old hound with us, but unfortunately the hills were too much for his old legs. The steepness of the hills were great for our legs but not our poor old dog. Thankfully there was a lovely bath and a great view so we just chilled and relaxed and wandered around Looe which of course is lovely. It would not surprise me to find out the owner has worked in hospitality as every single nook and cranny had been carefully thought through and the place was so cozy and comfy without feeling like you were living with another persons nik naks. Would highly recommend.

A lovely cottage with everything you need, cleaned to a high standard.

The kitchen is very well equipped, there are books and games to keep everyone entertained. The bed was very comfortable. It is a steep walk up a very narrow road but the view from the cottage was worth it. We would stay here again.

This cottage was just perfect for us; clean, comfortable, with lots of thoughtful details and beautiful views.

Thank you

Excellent, well appointed cottage.

Such a lovely cosy cottage – and spotlessly clean!

Delightfully decorated, well maintained, with everything you need to self-cater. Hills either side are steep but manageable – but this is how you get the amazing views from the decking. The walk from Looe to Polperro is stunning, and there are so many great shops and restaurants in town. Looe train station at the bottom of the hill and is such a picturesque journey alongside the river. We will definitely be back!

I suggest you inspect this property.

The decking is dirty, old and tired. There is at least one loose plank. The garden area is overgrown so not possible to check if secure for the dog so he was confined to the decking area. The “view” is obscured by next door garden. Unless you have a small car, you cannot drive to the property to unload the luggage so you are forced to carry it all up and down a very steep hill. The mattress is very uncomfortable. The cottage was very clean but the problems with the decking (not discussed here) and the uncomfortable bed left us with little choice but to leave after 2 nights.

Lowenna Cottage is in a great location, is well equipped and very clean.

However, it is half way up a very steep hill and is only suitable for the very fit. Resident parking is at least 15 minutes walk away from the cottage up very steep hills. The stated 5 minute walk to parking stated in the cottage write up is nonsense! The surrounding streets are also unsuitable for a saloon car as they are very narrow. We were also accused by the owners of damaging furniture, which was completely untrue and despite the owners not pursuing this, they made it clear they believed us to be to blame. Put a real blight on the memory of our holiday and I shall never book again. Will also make my feelings known on TripAdvisor.

Really great cottage.

Well equipped kitchen, great WiFi, great internet TV, perfectly clean and great location.

Spotlessly clean, dog bowls and blanket was a nice touch and views were beautiful Please get a slip mat for the bath for when having a shower very slippery Will visit again as so peaceful

Lovely location.

Close to everything but with good views. Good facilities in property. Very clean. Need to be fit as very steep area

Lovely cottage, kept to a high standard and perfect for walks into the town and beyond.

Will definitely be coming back.

We enjoyed our holiday and the cottage was great.

We read that parking was an issue and up a steep hill. This property would not be suitable for anyone other than the fittest. Thankfully we were and managed the long steep climb everyday. Most days there was parking at the train station that could be paid for and time extended via your phone. When that was full it was an arduous trek.

We had a really fantastic holiday in Lowena Cottage.

Looe is a great base from which to explore the whole of Cornwall. The cottage, whilst difficult to access due to the steep hills, is really lovely. Our only complaint would be that there are no curtains in the master bedroom, just light blinds that offer little shade from daylight. Really needs blackout blinds or curtains. )Previous guests have pointed this out we noticed). Other than that, the cottage is great, views amazing, very well equipped, extremely comfortable with everything you need for a lovely holiday in Cornwall!

Perfect cottage in perfect place :) Great view , cottage got everything u need to bee happy , lovely town :) For any people, myself an family we back mega happy .

No stres No problems Just go and live your live :)
