Photos and Description of this Looe holiday cottage 4 bedroom cottage sleeping 6, just 2 minutes from the beach

Right in the heart of Looe sits Foam Cottage. Just two minutes from the beach and harbour and about 5 seconds to the nearest shop and pub, this larger than average fisherman’s cottage is perfectly placed to enjoy everything in this friendly fishing village. Foam Cottage has been tastefully modernised including central heating, whilst retaining the character and features of a typical Cornish fisherman’s cottage. It makes a very comfortable family home for a holiday by the sea for up to 6 people Foam Cottage is larger than most traditional cottages in Looe. Built around 1860 (we think), it fronts onto Higher Market Street while the back door opens onto a sunny and secluded courtyard, decked with flowers. Actually this courtyard is also a street, but there are so few cars, you tend to forget that! The tall window spanning two floors fills the cottage with light. The rooms have extra height too so 6 footers won’t have to stoop for every doorway.

Looe has life and bustle to it throughout the year. As an operating fishing village, boats come and go in the harbour daily while the restaurants and pubs cater as much for the locals as for tourists. The natural lived-in feel is very welcoming whether you come in winter or summer. Looe is in two parts; East Looe has most of the shops, pubs and restaurants, plus the beach, the active harbourside and much of the life of the village. West Looe is quieter, but very pretty. A bridge links the two parts or you can take a ferry across the river when the tide is in. For families, the beach is perfect; soft sand at the top of the beach and masses of flat sand when the tide goes out for games or castle building. Cross into the next bay and you have another beach with rock pools and smugglers caves to explore! The Cornish coast path stretches away from Looe in both directions and there are lovely cliff top walks. It’s about two hours to Polperro in one direction and Seaton in the other.

EmilyRB Cumbria
Review Submitted: August 10, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Initally the owners were exceptionally helpful, understanding people prior to arrival.

Its a 10 minutes walk to the car park, which was a pain when raining, as it invariable does in the UK. Bringing the car to the front of the property was a nightmare in high season as the streets are packed with tourists who don't move quickly for a car, we opened the front door to a van for the first three days which was a squeeze to get past.

We were shocked at how close the nearest pub was, opposite front door to front door was 4 metres this meant in an evening its exceptionally noisy it did ease at midnight but because the windows were so old you could hear conversations word for word.

The property was clean and unusually they provided cleaning products and things like bubble bath and washing up liquid, which was a nice touch. Although it was strange the beautiful Sunflowers were on the table in a plastic measuring jug??!!

Windows in the property were a big problem, they were broken and unable to lock, this meant our 6 year old could opened them easily luckily I caught her before she took a 3rd floor tumble. I wouldn't advise leaving a child on their own in a second or third floor room.

Wall paper was hanging off, holes in floor and none of the chairs in the living room had flame retardent labels on, a requirement by law. We also couldn't see when the electric points had been PAT tested. The windows were wedged open in the toilet and bathroom by chocks of wood, letting eve more pub noise into the property

The beds in the property were in our opinion exceptionally uncomfortable with springs protruding. We didn't find the bed in the main bedroom very big so emailed to owner for some extra bedding so we could sleep in different beds - we did receive a response however the bedding never arrived, so we went and bought our own.

After a couple of days into the holiday and these issues descibed becoming apparent we decided to leave the property early, the property wasn't at all comfortable and it was too much of a risk for us the stay in it any longer. We emailed the owner to advise of this. The owner has not been in touch with us since emailing our issues with the property.

To summon up the property is overpriced for the quality it is shoddy, you will find something that sleeps as many for a similar price which is upto a much higher standard and with a better customer service.
