About this property

A Place of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Beautiful 4 bedroom house available in Looe. Great for families, couples, or business men/women looking for a unique experience in a beautiful property.
The property is a completley new build from 2018, and brand new to rent for 2019. There are 4 double bedrooms all with en-suites, with one extra shower room. The house has a stunning, brand-new kitchen with everything you will need. The kitchen, dining room, and lounge are all open plan. There are unrivalled views overlooking the town, harbour, beach, sea, and river. It is undoubtedly the best view in the whole area. You can see these stunning views from the open plan space in the property, and also from the small terrace at the front.
There is a parking space for 1 car.
You are close by to breathtaking coastal paths on the South-West coast for people who like to walk. It is a place of outstanding natural beauty.
Nearby you also have watersports to participate in, including kayaking, paddle boarding, boat trips, fishing, and crabbing.
Although the property has no garden, there is a small terrace at the front of the property to sit on.
It is a completely no smoking property, including the terrace. No big groups or parties. There is an extra person charge for the 8th person as the lounge area gets a little bit tight with 8 people, but is ideal for 7.

Lorraine and Brendan were fantastic hosts and we would completely recommend The Gulls. The house has exceptional views - we are going to miss waking up to those views - short walk in town and plenty to do. There is a property book on the coffee table with so many wonderful suggestions on what to do. Would definitely come back again!

A great trip

Overall we had an amazing time at this property. Communication with the owner could not have been any better. Only queries would be the TV connection was a bit unstable at times, a couple of the carpets had small stains on them. Other than that we had a great stay.

High Above Looe

Very nice house with great views of Looe thanks to its situation on the side of the deep valley of the Looe River. Looe is a lovely base for hiking and sea fishing.

Short family break

Views of looe were great from the property. Even though it was quite hilly we enjoyed walking into town and visiting various shops. The only negative was the tv in the lounge had an intermittent signal and the wi-fi did not always work downstairs. But we enjoyed our time at The Gulls

Great location for Looe and travelling around Cornwall

We were pleased with our accommodation and felt it was reasonably priced. It was in a great location for walking in to Looe and visiting nearby coastal villages in Cornwall. The accommodation was well equipped and the bedrooms were spacious. Lounge, kitchen and dining area were well appointed and comfortable. Host communicated well, directions and check in straightforward. A good choice of restaurants in Looe but would advise booking. We would stay at this property again.

The Best View of Looe

Situated on a cliffside, the view was spectacular...Every morning, we had the pleasure of sipping coffee [lovely French Press and VERY well outfitted kitchen] at the dining table with a view of the sea, the beach, the town with its beautiful stone and stucco architecture and the boats as they entered the quay. After full days of hiking, biking, pubs, and music... we retired to hot showers [all bedrooms ensuite and very comfy beds. Lorraine was very quick to respond to any of our questions about the property or the area. A wonderful place for our family's week in Looe/Cornwall.

We loved this bright apartment in the beautiful little town of Looe. The rooms were comfortable and each one is an ensuite which was so convenient. The view from the front room is breathtaking and we got to enjoy a few sunny days and one rainy/lazy day watching the waves and boats go by. The manager was very helpful and friendly. The only thing to be aware of is that it is located off a very narrow road. I had a little problem trying to park my car in the space but eventually got the hang of it.

View of the ocean.
Walkway to get to town, right outside the front room.

Great house for our cousins trip to Cornwall

My 2 cousins, my 3 kids and myself really enjoyed our stay. Great sea views and ground floor space for the 6 of us. We could also walk to the restaurants we had booked in Looe town so very convenient. The house is access. Is a narrow lane with one parking space (don’t try in a large 4 by 4) , but free parking at the bottom of the liane. We all enjoyed our stay and hope to be back. Note as the house is on 3 levels would not be suitable for those with movement challenges.

Tolle Aussicht mit großartigem Meerblick! Wir wurden, obwohl wir zu früh ankamen, freundlich Willkommen geheißen. In der gut ausgestatteten Küche stand ein nettes Starter-Paket bereit, es gab auch einiges Info-Material zu Aktivitäten und Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Umgebung. In den Ort und zum Strand auf der anderen Seite des Kanals läuft man ca. 15-20 min. Das Auto haben wir, nachdem es einmal in die wirklich enge Parkbucht hineinmanövriert hatten, die meiste Zeit lieber stehengelassen. In Looe einen Parkplatz zu finden, ist ohnehin schwierig. Die Unterkunft ist gut gepflegt - die am Haus brütenden Möwen haben allerdings an den Fenstern und vor dem Haus überall Spuren hinterlassen, was den ansonsten sauberen Eindruck ein wenig getrübt hat. Kleinere Abzüge auch für die Synthetikdecken und den in manchen Duschen und WCs geringen Wasserdruck.

The stay here was wonderful! First time renting a house in the UK. The water view was the big draw, and it did not disappoint. Beds were great, and we all enjoyed the coziness of the home.

The Gulls

Spacious, bright house with great view from the front over bay and harbour. Host friendly and promptly available if required . Perhaps more definition of the outside space and seating- if it was ours to use or the neighbours private space. The late arrival and early departure due to Covid-19 cleaning also eats in to the holiday time in the property.
