The starting point is that we thoughtfully enjoyed the holiday, view was amazing and the apartment and facilities were good, would rate as 5 star apart from:irritation with the fridge, no retaining bars on door to keep bottles in place and main shelf broken and not usable, so ended up stacking things on top of each other to get them in the fridge, also one wall unit with laminate issue.Whilst was acknowledging it was exceptionally hot whilst we were there, the balcony is such a sun trap it would benefit from some sunshade, we found it too hot to use at times and wished we had taken a parasol, if we were staying longer we would have bought one.The details identified parking is for a small/medium car, I flagged that my wife uses a wheelchair on occasion, and I was thoughtful asked if I thought access might be an issue.The access challenge was with the car (very narrow & steep) and would not be for everyone even with a small car. Our electric wheelchair was easier.Overall we had a great holiday enjoying the location and apartment.

Our stay was very comfortable and there was an excellent selection of equipment at the property, from the kitchen to cushions for the chairs on the balcony. Sadly we were not blessed with good weather but the apartment was stylish and spacious. Would echo what others have said about the very difficult parking. Beware the ivy-covered stone wall.

Was looking for a place to stay in Looe and when this property came up we were delighted. The facilities were outstanding and the view was breathtaking. Really didn’t want to leave at the end of our holiday.
