• "My partner and I had a very much needed break in Cornwall."

  The Boat House made this week away extra special as it is ideally located in central Looe. The BH is well equipped and is extremely cosy, we really enjoyed our stay - and we both look forward to returning in the future. Thank you Matt and Katy

• "Our third visit and as on our previous visits everything was as advertised."

  It is a charming place with everything you need. A very convenient location in the centre of Looe. A great place with plenty of restaurant choices. If buying a weekly car park ticket do this in advance. It was a bit of a trial on arrival in a windy car park on the first day and the number plate recognition didn't seem to work either time we left!! It won't stop us returning though.

• "We loved it, it was obviously done with great attention to detail which suits me as I am a detail person, you really couldn't ask for anything else in a holiday property, it suited our needs as my partner has a heart condition and we were right in the centre of everything so walking wasn't a problem for him, so, we parked the car for the week and relaxed!"

  will book again,

• "A delightful property on a quiet side street yet very close to the main shopping street, beach and amenities."

  Terrific fresh fish and excellent grocery shop on hand, route to coastal path right outside the door. Easy access by train. Very attentive owner who made sure there was no problem accessing the property on arrival. All in all a super holiday experience.

  We knew what to expect having visited Looe and the surrounding area many times, but it was especially nice to have a cosy cottage to head back to right in the middle of the town. We would definitely have no hesitation in recommending it.

  The location is brilliant for the beach and for all the eating places (the majority being there in East Looe) I used 'Ye Olde Salutation Inn' just at the bottom of the road twice ! I walked on the coastal path both east and west and made 2 rail trips on rainy days to Plymouth. Brilliant holiday !

• "We really enjoyed our break at the Boat House, it’s a lovely well thought out modern conversion of a tiny cottage."

  The location is great being in the centre of town with shops, pubs, cafes, beach and quay all less than a minute’s walk. Yet it’s on a less used street and so is very quiet We found lots of places for meals out on the doorstep. We used a weekly parking ticket from Cornwall Council to park less than 10minutes walk away, Looe’s narrow streets are not suited to vehicles, so a minor inconvenience was getting luggage to and from the cottage. Looe itself has a good bus and rail service so we were able to explore using public transport, there are lovely local coastal walks. We found the boathouse to be a great base for exploring a corner of Cornwall that we hadn’t visited before.

  Good evening. Many thanks for the feedback. I am pleased to note that you had an enjoyable stay at The Boat House. Thank you so much for the feedback. Kind regards. Property Owner

• "I've had a lovely and comfortable stay at The Boat House in Looe."

  The property has been very well kept, equipped and cleaned. The bed was very comfy, the TVs are able to access Netflix, BBC iPlayer etc and WiFi was very reliable. The location is excellent with plenty of food options nearby, local bus stops and railway station are less than a 15 minute walk away. The owners have installed a Positive Presure Unit to the property which does generate a small background hum, which cannot be switched off. It did not disturb my sleep, but if you prefer to sleep in total silence then that might be something to consider. If I return to Cornwall I will definitely consider staying at The Boat House again.

  Dear Matthew, Many thanks for the review. I am delighted that you had a good stay at The Boat House. The Positive Pressure Unit has worked wonders since we installed it. The unit pushes out and replaces stale humid air with drier, filtered fresher air thus improving indoor air quality. The unit does have a slight hum as the fan is constant but is a lot quieter than a noisy dehumidifier. We are updating the unit at the end of May 2023 with a one which is more compact and should be even quieter. Thanks again for staying. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

• "This was my first holiday since my wife passed away so I wasn't sure how I would get on."

  I needn't have worried, feeling at home the moment I opened the door. Such a lovely fresh and cool feel about the cottage. An absolute must is a visit to Polperro, walk the coast path if you can, it's quite a hard walk but you can get a bus or a boat back. I really liked the Fishermans Arms and Peaky Blinders. Smugglers Cott good too. Will definitely go back.

• "The property is ideally located for the town beach pubs restaurants and local cliff walks ."

  .car parking is not possible close to the cottage only to load and unload a small car but this is the same for 95% of the other holiday lets - we paid for a monthly ticket ith Cornwall Council at Millpool car park over the bridge approx 700 yards away which was cheaper than paying on a daily basis. The holiday let owner contacted us on a regular basis to check we were OK and happy with the cottage, which was very considerate of them and much appreciated by us. Overall a very nice stay.

  Couldn’t get a suit case up it to narrow and really not fit for purpose. We arrived on Friday for our week and left on Tuesday morning because my wife twisted her knee on the very poor staircase and has had medical treatment when we got home. She is still on medication now. Very poor.

  The cottage is beautifully and recently renovated to a very high standard. The facilities were excellent and a lot of thought had gone into providing everything needed for comfort. Extra touches like the sonas speaker and plug in torch were great. The mattress was very comfortable as was all the bedding, so we both slept very well. The bathroom was done to a high standard with a lovely shower. The owner Simon, was great at communication and obviously cares that his guests are happy. Probably the best thing about the boat house is its location. Its situated within a couple of mins walk to the beach, shops, pubs and restaurants. I would most definitely recommend the boat house to others and would stay again.
