  We enjoyed our stay at Sea Reach and its proximity to the beach and centre of Looe. The cottage is pretty well equiped and it was a nice touch with food essentials + on arrival. It was all straight forward re getting the house keys and key for the parking space. The only negative was the cleaniliness in the kitchen/downstairs area. In a very old cottage the odd few cobwebs and dust etc is to be expected. However I had to clean cupboards in order to put our food away as they were sticky and grubby. Remains of food items left to be helpful is fine if it is within date bottles clean etc.Some of the crockery, utensils and glasses were dirty smeary and not clean. In the end I washed before using. It seems a shame that this is not dealt with as there is a dish washer. Floors again downstairs were not very clean. I understand that the cottage allows dogs but we always use a towel for the dogs as they come in after they have been out and a stone floor is really easily mopped and carpets hoovered. Upstairs was fine.The travel cot was very useful as was the high chair. We asked for a stair gate which you confirmed by email was available and in the cottage. However when we arrived this was broken and would not have fitted the bottom of the stairs in the lounge. We resorted to using a broken airer to block the stairs and stop a one year old and two dogs escaping up them!! The smoke alarm started beeping in the middle of the night and the power downstairs in the kitchen went which was tricky with making bottles for a baby. We located the fuse box the next day & informed Richard who came out. However it was not clear what had caused the problem and attempts to retify the smoke alarm did not work so in the end we took the new battery out and the beeping seemed to stop. We informed Richard as to what we had done. But obviously this is not a long term solution as there is no back up if the power goes and there is a fire. The gas had to be checked whilst we were there which Richard apologised for and I understand that these jobs have to be done. But again when everyone is in the cottage and babies need naps it is not ideal especially as no specific time was able to be given and the engineer just turned up! It is a sweet cottage in a good location it just needs a bit of tlc and care to bring it up to the standard one would expect when paying rent for a holiday. The question below re recommendation is tricky. If the areas above were dealt with then yes because its location is great but from our experience this time probably not.

  We booked 2 Stonerush cottages- this is not the cabin that we got.

  We were put in number 4 which was completely different to the one we had booked. I was slightly put out by this as it was a lot smaller and didn’t have a separate kitchen area nor the 2 bathrooms that we had booked with number 2. Upon arrival the tv did not work, the hot tub did not work and we had a leak in the ceiling. Also to add to this the hot tub area was not private at all- with dog walkers constantly passing by and staring in at us. We booked number 2 as it was set back and had a big wooden fence around the hot tub. The hot tub was repaired by about 2pm the next afternoon so it meant a whole evening and half of our day Friday we couldn’t make use of it. When we reported the tv and the leak to reception in fairness the maintenance guy was round in 5 minutes however there wasn’t a lot he could do to fix the tv nor the leak so we had to make do. We were hoping to book again with you in the summer but upon looking at the prices- double what we paid for our stay this weekend. I couldn’t justify this price for the level of disappointment of our stay. If I had wanted to stay in 4 Stonerush I would have booked it. The fact we looked at all the available options and purposely booked number 2 for its level of privacy and the large space and then were not given this lodge I think is unacceptable.

  If you are driving to this property, please do not make the same mistake as me, it will taint your experience. Do not attempt to drive your car to the property (particularly any car larger than a corsa, fiesta, micra etc…) Book Pete in advance he is a super friendly chap who provides an excellent service. He will deliver your luggage to the door for only £8 (subject to change) You can find him on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/1AvZjb6zrA/?mibextid=wwXIfr (+44 7810 644449‬). My advice to you, is park at the Millpond carpark as suggested by the host and transport your belongings via Pete. If you attempt to drive your vehicle to the property, expect to scratch both sides badly. Otherwise, the cottage is perfect, very cosy, reasonably equipped (I managed to make a full Christmas Dinner). The walk into Looe takes about 10mins (max) down hill. I guess if you struggle with steep inclines, going back to the cottage might be a challenge. Looe is a lovely place with a wonderful beach, great walking routes, friendly people and amazing pasties (try Sarah’s pasties). I will return as it’s a perfect getaway.

  We had a lovely 7 days at 2 Stonerush Valley in April 23.

  Location is quite isolated (18 mins from nearest Morrisons) but what you get is worth it; total peace and relaxation. This particular property is one of the most private on site and not overlooked by others (meaning my dog couldn’t see as much so less barking!). We didn’t leave for the first 3 days! We just enjoyed the property, sounds from the stream below, the birds singing in the trees and use of the hot tub under the starry sky. The whole site is so quiet that there is an abundance of wildlife close by, and with limited outdoor lighting on site it is perfect for star gazing! The onsite pub offers friendly service and good food and there are some incredible beaches within an hours drive on the north coast - we visited Perranporth but there are plenty to choose from, all stunning. We’d definitely recommend this lodge, well equipped, tidy, daily hot tub maintenance service provided. A very comfortable, and relaxing stay. 100% recommend.

  We found Looe to be a lovely place.

  However, the property really let our stay down. It is in need of some investment/TLC and a really deep clean. We didn't enjoy being in the cottage because everything felt so dirty- the sofas, (under the sofas was disgusting), the kitchen floor, sides, I could go on. The cottage had a very fusty smell as well. Other notes- no bins upstairs, front garden needs cutting back- walking up the steep steps was difficult because of the overgrown bushes), oven needed trays- the one that was attached to the door wasn't big enough and was fixed too low, recycling- the guide said recycling could be taken to milpool car park- there isn't recycling facilities there, so we had to bring our recycling home (!!!!). The cottage could be beautiful and enjoyable if the above was taken note of. For the price we paid wholly disappointing.
