Linhay is a lovely cottage set in beautiful countryside. It's a 10 minute drive to Looe Town. Lots of beaches nearby as is Polperro. Overall its a comfortable cottage but could be a lot cleaner.

Love this quiet tranquil spot. Near the coastal path, great for walking.The cottage we very cute, big enough for two. Host on site for any issues. Comfortable bed serviceable kitchen. Definitely will stay again.Might be a little remote for some. But for me, get away from it all, what I need. Though short drive to Looe , if you don't fancy walking.

Relaxing and easy, a well recommended place to stay. Location was simply wonderful,, Soooo Quiet and relaxing. Cottage was immaculately clean and had everything you needed. Plenty carparking. lovely grounds. Easy to get to. Think the Cottage needed a little love, but location far outweighs a door that needs a coat of paint and misted windows. Just word of warning to drivers the lanes are very very tight so keep your eyes open and speed down. The Walk to the beaches and to looe are nice and easy but getting back may be hard as all generally uphill especially after a meal and a few beers, Taxis will rip you off so beware.
