The Knoll

The Knoll was lovely.

The host was really nice, very helpful and left a welcoming gift of a large bowl of fruit, tea, coffee, sugar, milk, 2 packs of biscuits and mini cereal boxes as well as a few kitchen essentials. The place is very well situated and views are stunning across Looe. There are a lot of steps down to get in to the property and you can walk in to Looe if mobility isnt a problem - might be best to get a taxi back though as very steep! Nice to have a parking space, decent sized rooms and bathroom. The host had left toilet rolls, towels and a few extras in the bathroom for us to use. Lovely host, very friendly. There were 5 fans in the property which was great for this heatwave. Thank you, we really enjoyed our stay

We loved The Knoll.

It was modern but also quaint. The kitchen, albeit small, we managed in it very well. The extra touches in the fridge ie milk, water and a massive bowl of fruit was a lovely touch, and 5 fans of different sizes were so welcoming with the weather being as hot as it was. We met Maggie, she was very welcoming and was there for you if you needed help with anything. The steps to the flat challenged us but the exercise did us good! We would definitely consider returning.

Lovely quaint flat , the landlady went above and beyond to ensure every need was met, adding extras to make it feel homely.

Would certainly recommend and hope to return in the near future.

We had a lovely 4 nights staying at the Knoll house.

Beautiful views, and Maggie had thought of everything, leaving fresh fruit, biscuits, cereals etc and fresh flowers, in our apartment. The views were amazing, sitting having breakfast on the balcony. Would definitely recommend staying as free parking also, but if you have trouble walking, could be an issue, as fairly steep hill from the town. We didn’t mind as good exercise for us, after fish nd chips etc

A super apartment just a short walk up the hill from the centre of Looe.

Despite the convenient location it was nevertheless secluded with very attractive views. Although compact, the space worked well for our family. It was well appointed and a lot of attention to detail - there was nothing we missed. The owner contacted us to check all was ok and was happy to offer flexibility for our arrangements.

The property was perfect for me and my family and my little 1 year old daughter l.

It has everything we needed and more and with a perfect view over loee on a evening.

Maggie very good plenty of extras in the flat.

very quirky good views from balcony. Downside is the horrendous journey from station with luggage up to property plus coming back from town /beach up 87 steps plus a walk up. The main bed needs configuration if are over 5ft you may bang your head on ceiling.

This is a lovely comfortable apartment.

The owner provided quite a few little extras which were very welcome after a long journey. The view from the balcony is gorgeous. Be aware there are steps down to the front door and more steps and a steep slope into town. Maggie takes great care of the property and it’s a rare find in a lovely position.

The host was amazing!

Laid on lots of little extras and had thought of everything!

Maggie provided everything needed for a wonderful stay.

The Knoll is so comfy with many little detailed extras thought of, like a home from home. She even wrote a birthday card for my partner and left some arrival treats. We loved being on the balcony overlooking Looe. And it’s perfect location, we explored lots in Looe and the surrounding area. Wonderful host and flat. I highly recommend coming here. We shall be back!

We had another relaxing and enjoyable stay at The Knoll.

Many thanks to Maggie for her kindness and thoughtfulness.

A lovely character apartment in an elevated position overlooking the town and river.

We were very comfortable during our stay. The owner, who lives below, was brilliant and went out of her way to help with any queries that arose during our holiday. We were very impressed with the extra touches provided in the apartment, certainly the best we've experienced in our many years of travel. Highly recommended!

Lovely apartment in a beautiful location

Such a special flat to stay for a week in.

Lots of welcome little touches for us when we arrived (like milk, biscuits and cereals plus other bits too). Beautiful view from the balcony and the beds were very comfortable. Be warned though you need to be physically fit to get in and out of this flat especially with luggage and the walk down and back to Looe from this flat is 'challenging' for those not used to steep gradients and lots of steps. Overall and real gem and I'd love to come back. Missing it already!!

The property had lovely views and was light and airy and the sunny balcony and outdoor seating area with some welcome shade were great.

The owner who li es below was very helpful and friendly. The walk down into Looe through the picturesque narrow streets part of the experience. Would highly recommend.

We enjoyed another relaxing week at the Knoll.

As usual, everything was perfectly fine for us, and we send thanks to Maggie for her kindness and attention.

We had a fantastic stay at The Knoll in June 2024.

The property was well maintained and the little touches that Maggie did welcoming us was very pleasing. Maggie made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for her. Although the kitchen was basic, it was well equipped and suited our needs. The views of Looe were fantastic from the balcony and parking space. Well worth the climb! Thank you Maggie for looking after us.

I'm very sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your stay at my holiday apartment which I pride myself on offering a lovely holiday experience to guests.

This is reflected in the wonderful feedback this property typically receives and the return visits of many guests . It can be seen clearly on the property images how elevated this property is, which benefits the fantastic views that guests frequently comment on. I'm sorry if this was not what you were looking for on your stay. The steeper steps lower down have gravel embedded in the surface to offer a good grip to minimize any slip risk, even in wet weather. The photographs were taken by Sykes and are very representative of the kitchen, which is a small area but offers the essentials as described on the listing. ~ as are the bedrooms and bathroom. I cleaned the property myself to the highest standard and I'm very surprised to hear you had any issues of this nature when you arrived as I had given it personal attention shortly before. Had you mentioned any of these problems at the time, either to myself - or Sykes I would have attended immediately to put things right. As you can see from the large number of feedback for this property - cleanliness is a priority and not something guests have made any complaints upon in the past ~ quite the reverse The flowers were fresh for your booking, as was the water they were in. The plug holes are treated between every booking to ensure they are clear. I would like to offer an apology as you did find the coffee sachets provided to be out of date, these have been removed and I will keep an eye on this in future to ensure this doesn't happen again ~ the tea and sugar are replenished after each visit. I'm sorry The Knoll was not the right holiday home for you, however I'm pleased it has not served to put you off visiting the very beautiful Looe in future.

Perfect

Loved this property.

The many lovely and thoughtful extras provided by the owner made it a 5 star plus. We loved sitting on the balcony in the evening with a glass of wine enjoying the view and at night when we parked the car the sight of the river with all the lights was breathtaking. Thank you for a wonderful holiday and we hope to return soon .

Spotlessly clean.

However the property seemed to be designed for good display photos leaving no room for our things. Every shelf there was had picture perfect stuff on it. Although the ‘kitchen’ was tiny it was well equipped and the only cleaning utensils I could find was a dust pan and brush but that was enough to sweep the kitchen floor with. The main issue was the heating and hot water. Although Maggie tried to stress we only have to ask to have the heating/hot water on outside her 3 hour morning and 3 hour evening regime I personally found the idea of doing that very uncomfortable. Therefore we were cold early morning and cold after 9pm, as well as having to wash in tepid water if out of the allotted timings. Overall the flat was show room quality, definitely quirky but the surroundings fairly grim and perhaps the very steep hills to walk into town should be stressed in the on line blurb.

The Knoll is a beautiful, quiet, clean and well looked after accommodation with easy accessibility to Looe Town, local shops and the train station.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are very grateful to Maggie for her wonderful hospitality. We will be returning soon!

Our third visit, and as usual everything was great (apart from the weather!

). Thank you Maggie for your kindness and hospitality, as ever.

Despite the weather, we had another relaxing and enjoyable stay at The Knoll.

Thanks again to Maggie for her help and kindness.

The flat was ideal for Looe.

Plenty of room in bathroom and shower, plenty of crockery etc. Off-road parking was fine, getting to and from the parking area OK most of the time. Easy access to Looe shops and restaurants although you do have to be physically fit to walk down to Looe and back up to the flat. Maggie was very helpful with her instructions

Maggie has provided us with a little gem of a holiday home.

She has thought of everything and such a charming person too. We loved this place. Anyone who may be put off by the big hill , don’t be. I am 78 and still managed it fairly easily. Thank you Maggie

Thanks to Maggie for making us feel very welcome, and for a wonderful stay in her little gem of an apartment.

A lovely stay in a brilliantly equipped apartment.

Great views of Looe and the river from the balcony and such a quiet location away from the town centre but within easy reach all the same. Maggie, the owner, was very attentive and contacted us prior to our stay with directions and a few bits of information that would be useful. She left fruit, milk, tea, coffee, sugar, and biscuits freshly for our arrival. Very highly recommended!

We had a lovely time.

The apartment was in walking distance to Looe. The apartment was comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. The owner made us very welcome, and I would heartily recommend her.

A wonderful host .

Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Maggie for your kindness.

Absolutely beautiful view from the property, what I loved also is the owner making sure we had everything we need, she really thought of everything, from condiments, charger, towels, robes, toys plus much more, it was very appreciated and made our stay extra special.

Definitely recommend, you won't get a better view.

Spent a week at The Knoll, wish we had booked two.

Ideal location for access to Looe Harbour and beach and all the local shops and bars/restaurants, just bring your walking legs with you for the walk back up! Maggie is wonderful host, everything you will need is in the apartment , from a sewing kit and picnic set to beach towels and room fans plus we were left milk, cereals, biscuits, tea and coffee. Lovely views from every window, a truly stunning place to stay.

We had a very comfortable stay.

Everything we could possibly have wanted was provided and more. Lovely view from the balcony. Nothing was too much trouble for our host. Thank you very much.

This was the best holiday me and family have actually had, What a beautiful place Looe is… Maggie had provided everything and more that you could think of to make our holiday carefree, She went above and beyond during our stay to meet our needs.

The flat is spotlessly clean and spacious. We were all very sad to leave, Maggie is a diamond. And “The Knoll” is a credit to her. We will be definitely going back next year

The knoll is a hidden gem that provides a very peaceful holiday surrounded by all the amenities and beautiful views and the property owner was very kind and lovely.

We had a great week at the Knoll, it was comfortable, well equipped and quirky with beautiful views down to Looe.

The owner was friendly and welcoming and Looe and the local area were gorgeous.

A lovely holiday flat with fabulous views.

Maggie has thought about many little extras that many don’t, from Binoculars to enjoy the view even more to umbrella, bags for life, hard sanatiser and masks. The flat was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our break in Looe. Thank you Maggie.

The location is good though you have to enjoy climbing hills!

The view is lovely & the existence of a wooded hillside garden (through the green door) is a real bonus. Be aware that there is no oven &, due to its position, hot items are very tricky to get out of the microwave. Maggie is very considerate & accommodating. All in all a very successful holiday.

This is a great little hideaway in East Cornwall.

Great little apartment which is ideal for 2 people. Only 10 mins walk from middle of Looe but beware walk back is very steep ! We were made to feel very welcome by owner who lives very near and all things required for holiday are ready to hand ....shops nearby and apartment fittings etc. Had aweeks break and enjoyed it immensely.

A lovely comfortable apartment.

Pleasant little balcony with great views looking up the West Looe River; we saw some stunning sunsets from there. Beds were comfortable and bathroom was fine, with modern spacious shower. Some points for prospective clients to note: East Looe is a 5-10 minutes walk, but it's down a very, very steep hill with many steps. Getting back would be a real struggle for anyone who's a bit unfit or with mobility problems. But it is only £4 for a taxi and we understand there's also a bus, though rather irregular. There are also steep narrow steps down to the front door. The parking spot is OK, but a bit small/awkward if you have anything larger than a mid-sized car. The kitchen is tiny and lacks an oven. The hob is only two rings. Don't expect to be able to cook a family meal there - unless you're a real wizard.

The owner was very generous and put milk in the fridge for our arrival, there were some biscuits, tea bags and coffee as well.

This meant we didn’t need to go shopping as soon as we arrived. There were toys and books for our little boy to play with, all age appropriate. This all contributed to a very pleasant holiday.

Absolutely fabulous apartment !

The Knoll was just perfect , brilliant location , as long as you are happy with steps and hills ! A real home from home, Maggie was so welcoming - lots a little personal touches, beautiful place. Can’t wait to go back !

Great apartment, views are amazing.

Quality fixtures and very comfortable. The walk from the town is very steep and you need to be reasonably fit , but a taxi to the town & back was only £4 each way !! Maggie is lovely and very helpful. I’m sure we’d be back one day.

The steps accessing the property are indeed exremely steep.

The property is so high up.......once a passerby alerted us to the bus service we were much more inclined to access the town....car parking was at a premium, as was expected.
