    “The property is comfortable, and the equipment was very good.”

    However, the steep incline to get to the property is not adequately described. As two 71 year olds, we found that getting to and from the property a challenge. Also, the bedrooms and bedding smelled stale. We were also surprised to be asked for an extra £30 to park the car. (We parked in the general car park for £26 for the week)

    Dear Guest. We are very sorry that our lovely cottage didn't meet your expectations during your stay. The property is at the bottom of a steep path and this is clearly stated in the cottage description, where it also states that it may not be ideal for people with mobility difficulties. We do not charge for parking as there is not a parking space with the cottage but we have a private garage near the cottage that we pay rent for and offer as a courtesy to guests for a small fee. You were under no obligation to take that offer and chose to park elsewhere which is fine. We do not recognise the stale bedding or rooms you describe and have never had this come up before in 7 years of letting. We will however raise this with our laundry company but my wife and I personally did the change over on that occasion, as we were staying there the previous week. We have incredibly high standards and detected no issue with the bedding or stale room smells. Again we are very sorry our cottage was unsuitable for you and wish you well in finding a more suitable place next time. Best wishes, Owners Two Tides Cottage Property Owner

The property

Two Tides Cottage is a stunning, two-storey cottage situated in Looe, Cornwall.

You enter through the front door to a cosy porch area where you can leave your coats on the hooks and kick off your boots.

Along the hallway are three bedrooms: one double, one small double and one adult bunk room.

Each bedroom has been equipped with modern furnishings to house all your personal items, with both double bedrooms having magnificent views across the harbour and surrounding town, plus their own Juliet balconies.

This can be seen right from your bed when you wake up of a morning, a lovely way to start your day.

There is a contemporary bathroom, with the choice of a bath and shower over.

A staircase leads down to the lower floor where there is an open-plan living space.

Relax and unwind in the lounge with its comfortable sofas and warming electric woodburning-effect stove.

This room also has beautiful views over the river and unique artwork on the walls, which gives this room a wealth of character.

Step into the kitchen, which is well-equipped with everything you could need for a self-catering family holiday and all appliances are completely modern.

Also accessed from the lower ground floor is the sandstone patio area with a table and chairs for six which overlooks the river, where you can enjoy the afternoon and evening sunshine - the perfect spot for a barbecue after a day on the beach.

There is also a convenient downstairs WC.

Looe is a popular tourist and coastal town, with so many attractions, it'll be hard to fit them all into your stay.

One of the biggest being East Looe Beach, with its famous Banjo Pier and soft sand, perfect for day trips with the family.

Stretch out on your beach towels and soak up the sun for a lovely tan, bring a picnic to spend the day with lovely views across the water.

You can also enjoy lots of swimming in Looe Bay.

For the history enthusiasts, why not visit Old Guildhall Museum and Gaol?

With its artefacts dating back hundreds of years, and many historical objects to be found.

Looe also has a wealth of cafes and bakeries where you can enjoy fish and chips, a cornish pasty or a cream tea.

There are a number of characterful pubs (some with live music) and restaurants to suit all budgets.

Keen cooks can buy freshly-caught fish on the quay, unless of course you’ve managed to catch it yourself.

Two Tides Cottage is a wonderful base for exploring the coastal town of Looe.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

About the location

LOOE

Polperro 5 miles.

Looe is Cornwall’s second largest fishing port and hence there is always a lively maritime bustle around the quay area of East Looe, which is connected to the quieter West Looe by a seven arched 19th century bridge over the River Looe. You can also catch the river taxi between East and West Looe. East Looe has narrow cobbled streets, twisting alleyways and plenty of tourist shops, whilst West Looe has a lovely outlook across the harbour. Looe’s viewpoint, Banjo Pier, can be reached from the quay and is a great spot to watch the returning fishing trawlers and look across the bay to Looe Island, which can be walked to occasionally at very low tides. The sandy Looe beach adjoins the pier and is very popular with families because of its safe shallow swimming and vast expanse of sand. There is also a great rock pool area at Hannafore that children will love. West Looe has a Heritage Centre that recently opened in the Old Sardine Factory with a climbing wall and a cafe and the delightful Kilminorth Woods have way marked walks through the majestic oak wood, rich in plant, insect and bird life. Apart from beach activities in this part of south east Cornwall, there are many mining remains on Bodmin Moor and in the Tamar Valley and much of the mining landscape has World Heritage status. This area of Cornwall has inspired writers, such as Daphne du Maurier and much of Bodmin Moor has inspired legends linked with King Arthur. There is much to explore in this beautiful part of Cornwall.

Note: Steep pathway from nearest street to the cottage, might be unsuitable for those with limited mobility.
