Ambleside was an excellent joice for our family,the house was beautiful with everything provided,although getting a car of any size outside of the property is nigh on impossible.

Good location with nice views over East Looe river, all bedrooms are good with comfortable beds although we did find downstairs space and in particular seating inadequate for eight. 2 x two seat sofas and two bean bags in lounge. Dinning table has six chairs although there are two stools at the breakfast bar that could be squeezed around the tablRead moree. Shutta road is not usable for anything other than a small car so DON'T try. There is a a local shuttle (quad bike & trailer) available to book locally to transfer luggage from Mill Pool carpark.

Website offered assistance with luggage but we were told that none was available (we subsequently found that there was someone in Looe operating a luggage collection and delivery service. The road from the village to the property was VERY steep and there was then a very steep flight of steps from the road to the property. Also the handrail at theRead more steps stopped two steps from the top - not too much of a problem going up unless you were infirm but quite dangerous coming down if you were to trip at the top. the cleanliness of parts of the property was not good e.g. (a) the kitchen table had remnants of tomato sauce and crumbs. (b) the table mats were dirty - crumbs, stains etc (c) there were sweets on the floor under the furniture in the lounge (d) the shower in the top bedroom overflowed on first use and examination of the drainplug cover showed it was blocked with thick black hair (e) the three terraced patio areas were quite neglected with weeds and grass growing through. (f) The patio chairs and tables were covered in old leaves and green algae/mould (g) the cushions for the patio chairs were just lying scattered on the ground with some being quite dirty - luckily the weather was dry so the cushions were not wet ((h) we had no hot water (other than via the kettle) for the last evening and morning of departure. On the plus side - the property was comfortable and had lovely views of the river and millpool area. Hide

Overall we felt that Ambleside was a very good property for our family group, 6 adults and 1 child. The property has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms which was great. The bedrooms were spacious with plenty of storage space and the beds were very comfortable.

A great house for a stay with family and.l friends. We stayed as 3 couples. The rooms are really quiet, and wow what a view. The kitchen is large and easy to entertain. A small walk to the village and all Looe has to offer.
