Convenient location allowing exploration of Looe with easy access to 'pop' back to the accommodation. Very small space which suited us as we didn't spend a lot of time at the cottage (mainly evenings and that was fine) however there were only two of us. It would feel very cosy as a family with kids, especially if the weather was poor and you had to spend a lot of time inside.Everything we needed was thought of - good use of space.
The perfect location for everything Looe has to offer! Very close to the beach, walking trails and all of the great restaurants and pubs. The unit was a wee bit small but comfortable.
Such a shame the bunk bed was only long enough for someone 5ft 5.. my son ended up on the sofa bed and I put mattress on floor half in half out the room. As the micro mini draws about 15cm wide was attached to the wall or floor so couldn't move it.. Lived out our case 4 the wk.. Shower on off n heat outside the shower.. but lovely little place n great location.. Can hear upstairs tv too

We are sorry to hear that your son couldn't use the bunk bed. The description does clearly state that the bunk beds are specifically designed for children. The shower issue has never come up previously but will certainly be looked in to now it has been reported. It is a shame we weren't made aware at the time so that we could address it for you. It was also a shame that we weren't made aware of the staining on the sheets so that they could have been treated immediately to avoid replacement. Thankfully the flour/talc that was all over the sofa has come off. We are delighted that you thought it a lovely little place and that you were happy with the location. Apologies again that we weren't aware of any issues at the time in order to help.
