This large single-storey accommodation has been really well thought out. The owners have really paid attention to detail and there is literally everything you could need during your stay. We visited with our elderly Mum who stayed in the twin room. The accessible wet room enabled her to feel independent - the owners asked if shed like the shower Read morechair which worked perfectly for her. The overall cleanliness was a standout for us as was the abundant towels, tea towels and cleaning supplies. We also appreciated the thoughtful Cornish goodies that greeted us on arrival. If youre looking for a tranquil escape with easy access to Looe - this is definitely the place to stay! We wholeheartedly recommend and wouldnt hesitate to book again. Hide

Brilliant barn conversion, spacious and well equipped. Very comfortable beds and spotlessly clean. In a very peaceful location, approached via a narrow lane but actually only 10 mins drive from Looe and central for going farther afield. Kate the owner was extremely welcoming and helpful, lovely goodies left on arrival too. There is a communal gardeRead moren with views if you just want to relax. Definitely a place to recommend.
