Miss Peat
Very happy to recommend Verbena after staying there for a week’s holiday. The cottage is very clean and comfortable and in a great position, being down on the flat in the town was ideal, no hills to climb unless you want to! There is a lovely pub (The Jolly Sailor) a short walk away and 2 very handy convenience stores nearby. It is in West Looe where there are several restaurants and pubs and within easy walking distance to East Looe. The cottage is a positioned a few minutes walk from the ferry which takes you across to the east side and you can get on the Looe Land Train which takes you on a great ride around the town, you can get on and off at various locations. All in all had a great time and would highly recommend.

The description of the property on the website was not fully accurate. Smaller than expected - no way suitable for 6 people who would have to use one bathroom. A good deal overpriced. Needs some modernisation - windows in particular need renovation. Noisy - from the pub to people passing very close by and seagulls on the rooof. The car park was further than expected and up a very steep hill (that was not mentioned in the details). Water from the shower is dripping downstairs even though we were careful to keep the floor in the bathroom dry.. also there was no mention of the difficult stairs which are not suitable for the elderly or those with disabilities.
