  This property is in a great location near the facilities and wonderful views (less the fact it is very difficult to access due to the narrow road, for very small cars only, and a steep hill which was a problem for the older members of my family, which really should be strongly mentioned more in the general description), it could be a really outstanding property with more care and maintenance. Unfortunately the basic expectations and high standards of a 5 star property as per the Original Cottages Website are not met. This is a 8 bed space property, with only 7 chairs for dining, some of the furniture is broken or in decline, there are lots of chips, marks and stains on the walls, making the place look tired. The toilet seat & bin are in a poor state and the handle to the toilet door falls off in use (middle toilet). We were horrified that there are no mattress protectors on the beds and there are disgusting stains on the mattresses and there were hairs on the some of mattresses and sheets. There was a large amount of dust and hair under the beds/furniture. Its such a shame as its a lovely property, just lacking the basics, for example there is no where to hang coats, only an old coat rail with only 2 pegs left for 8 people? On arrival the dish washer was full of dirty dishes, the right hand oven had burnt food all over it and stunk of fish (we could not use it all week, it was that bad). The light blue chair in the front room is of very poor quality, try sitting in it for a period of time! A really serious note is the Health and Safety Hazzard of the sunken entrance and metal strip which would stick up at the front hallway right outside the living room, this caused numerous members of my family (both young and old) to fall/trip, luckily there were no serious injuries, but this needs to be addressed now. From the photos, I had high expectations, this was a family holiday I had planned for a long time to treat them to a lovely location and property, it is not cheap, but some aspects of it felt cheap, but we made do and tried to not let it spoil our holiday, Looe and the surrounding area is a fantastic place!

  We regularly go away for long weekends and we always choose somewhere with a hot tub.

  When we first arrived at Stonerush we thought that it was amazing and that we'd definitely visit again but by the end we were very disappointed. The hot tub was only working for the first evening we were there (Friday). The next morning the temperature of the water had dropped but was still usable. We thought that it would heat up again during the day. In the afternoon we checked again and the temperature had dropped to 20°c. At this point we tried to call someone to get it fixed but the woman that we spoke with was very unhelpful and said someone would come at some point the next day. The hot tub had clearly not been checked that whole day and possibly the day before too. The next day it still wasn't working so we rang again and were told there was no one around because it was a Sunday. We went out for a few hours and when we returned it still hadn't been fixed/checked. We had to leave that evening as our son had school on Monday. To say we are disappointed is an understatement. As with lots of people, this was the first time we'd been able to have a weekend away for a long time. We would not have booked the lodge without the hot tub as it's a large part of our relaxation. I have never had to complain before about any other place. Also, the radiator in the lounge doesn't work and the shower in the ensuite doesn't stay upright. These are things that weren't a big deal at all and wouldn't have effected any reviews we give but I just thought I'd let you know.

  DON'T DRIVE TO THE HOUSE - THE ROAD IS TOO NARROW! Although the information stated that the road was narrow, it isn't clear that it won't be suitable for most vehicles. We have a mid-sized car (Ford C-Max) and had 1/2 inch clearance on each side at times and the hills were very steep with sharp bends. It was incredibly challenging and we were lucky to escape with a small scratch on the car - we saw other cars on the road sustain much worse! There is a local man (Pete - Looe Luggage Transfer) who will take luggage up and down to the house in his quad bike and trailer at a very reasonable rate (£8). Definitely recommended (on Facebook and 07810644449). Aside from the road, we were incredibly lucky with the weather we had. The house itself was nice - amazing views and the balcony on the front gets the sun all afternoon and evening. Everything was comfortable and clean, although there were a few issues with the bathroom on the top floor. The living space is much smaller than it appears in the photos - we struggled to seat seven of us around the table in the kitchen and had to use the breakfast bar as overflow seating. The hills to walk up and down between the town and the property were very steep so be prepared for quite a hard walk up.

  We loved the place.

  However, the main thermostat was not working properly when we arrived. We worked around it for the week and got the plumber to take a look on the day we left. So, that shouldn’t be an issue again. What will be an ongoing issue until it is addressed will be the mattress on the double bed which was not only uncomfortable but, in my humble opinion, cheap too. We had to use the twin beds for most of our stay as they weren’t bad. That’s the bed, but it didn’t stop there as the duvets provided were all 10.5 tog! Somehow, I think that lighter duvets should have been available... We had to resort to buying two 4.5 tog duvets from Morrison’s - not exactly what you want when you’re on holiday. Finally, and this may be considered picky, there’s no point supplying a good range of kitchen knives if they’re all blunt and there’s nothing to sharpen them with! Finally, I forgot to report that some previous tenants have damaged the blind mechanism of the twin room window. I could see what had happened but couldn’t put it right. Overall we enjoyed our holiday but I couldn’t help but wonder at the logic of furnishing a wonderful property with such a cheap mattress - after all, a good night’s sleep is essential.

  We had an amazing holiday staying at Ferry View Cottage. The property was in a great location with a beautiful view over Looe and Looe River. The sitting room had a big window where you could look out while relaxing on the sofa. The cottage was in the quieter side of Looe (West Looe), which we preferred, and it had an amazing local store within an easy walking distance (5 min), which was open till 7pm. It had everything you ever needed for your holiday stay, and it also had a good delicatessen within. East Looe, where most of the shops and restaurants were, was also easy to walk to from the cottage, and this was perfect for our teenagers who could just go out by themselves. There is a large outhouse opposite the front door to store your water activity gear, which is where you'll find your freezer and washing machine. The cottage is near beaches, rivers, walks, activity facilities, which we took full advantage of. However, I would just warn you that the cottage is on a very steep uphill narrow road, as mentioned on the website, so if you have a wider-than-your-average car, you would not be able to enter the road. Other than that, we loved staying there and I would highly recommend this cottage!
