  Slightly delayed review!

  I booked Harbour Hideaway as a very last minute few days away with my mum and kids last July. I was nervous as I knew there were steps involved which mum would find challenging, however the pictures and reviews looked good enough for me to chance it and I’m so glad I did. The house is upside down, with a double bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. Up the first flight of stairs to another double room and a room with two singles, along with a cloakroom. Finally up to the second floor for the open plan kitchen and living space, boasting a balcony with harbour views (hence the property name). The whole place was beautifully decorated with a theme in keeping with the location. It was clean and well stocked with games, local leaflets and coffee. We were greeted before arrival with a text message from the owners with the front door key-box code and wishing us a pleasant stay, with their contact details should we have any issues. I contacted them with a couple of minor questions and received a prompt and comprehensive response - despite them being out of the country! Harbour Hideaway is situated just off the waterfront, almost in the centre of town. 60 seconds from the front door and you are in the high street, surrounded by cafes and gift shops; the beach and Banjo Pier a few minutes down the road one way and a supermarket and pharmacy the other way. There is no parking at the accommodation, however you can stop nearby to unload the car and then there is a long stay car park at the front of town, a short walk away. The weather was not kind to us, but we still managed to sit on the balcony with our morning tea, go for a walk along the pier, skim stones on the beach and catch fish and crabs along the harbour walls. The only reason I wouldn’t recommend the beautiful Harbour Hideaway would be that I don’t want it full when I wish to book again!

  We had a fantastic weekend at Harbour Hideaway, the house is amazing and tastefully decorated.

  Beds were very comfortable and room sizes were ideal. Looe has become a happy place for us, so it was lovely to see all the little pun signs on the walls spread around the house. The Christmas tree was a bonus, we wasn't expecting it at all and was a nice surprise, especially as we went to Fowey Christmas Market, it put us nicely in the Christmas mood. We noticed some damp on the first floor of the propoerty in the bathroom and twin bedroom, nothing much but may get out of hand if it's not treated correctly. The kitchen had everything we needed and was well equipped, the whole house is very well laid out. The views are amazing, it was lovely to wake up and see the harbour and we drank our morning coffee on the balcony with great views of the river. I loved the clock at the top of the stairs and it has inspired me to look for one myself, I also loved the painting of 'Looe Lovers' by the dining table, I'm on the hunt to find the print from the local artist. As ever, there is always something to do in Looe, we walked on the beach and on Banjo Pier, had a coffee overlooking St George's Island from Hannafore and we drove to Tannd Bay and Lantic Bay. We look forward to coming back and thank you for a wonderful stay at Harbour Hideaway. PS. If you know where I could source the print 'Looe Lovers' - please let me know!!!

  This really is a hideaway but at the same time so central for everything in Looe.

  The cottage was actually better than I thought it would be and it looked lovely on the website. Bright and very clean with beautiful views of the Harbour. Very tastefully decorated, loved the feature walls and the accessories from local gift shops. Everything you need, modern kitchen with dishwasher, coffee machine. Tea, coffee, sugar supplied. Dishwasher tabs, washing up liquid etc. Beds are comfortable, plenty of storage etc. lovely shops, pubs, restaurants, takeaways, 2 Coop stores all on your doorstep. Sarah’s pasty’s and Catch fish and chips highly recommend. Loads of useful info and advice in the cottage. The only downside is parking, definitely go in Millpool car park and get a weekly season ticket online, it’s about a 5-10 minute walk and follow instructions to get nearer the cottage for unloading luggage etc. on arrival/departure. Not a problem as such but just something to be aware of. Thank you for a wonderful week. We’ll be back.

  Albany is a wonderful property with a fantastic outlook from each floor.

  It is comfortable and clean with everything you would need. The views are fascinating at any time of day or night, and constantly changing with the tide. The location allows easy access to a good range of restaurants and takeaways by foot aswell as a little further away by car. Lots of fish landed in Looe. Lots to do locally and good boat /fishing trips available - 2 weeks would not be enough. It is south coast so we didn’t get any surf at the height of summer although Whitsands can be good for bodyboarding. A range of north coast beaches are within an hour and a quarter. As in the description, access is via a steep slope and parking is 1/2 mile away. We were able to pull up outside for unloading, loading, dropping off in the evening and picking up without any problem. Great holiday - we will be back

  The property in its self was very nice. Access into the property is ok if your an experienced mountain climber, very steep flight of stairs. Which is not a welcoming sight or something to look forward to, leaving, returning to the property if you are in any form disabled, older, infirmed, unfit. Sadly this is not outlined in the promotion of this property. Misleading to say the least. Picture make it look like its on the flat. Due to this, as we are all late 60's early 70's we found ourselves staying in. We would not recommend this property unless they have had SAS training. Therefore we think it was not value for money and would not recommend. This will be the review we will be sharing. Leaking radiator in top bedroom.
