Perfect position, 2mins from beach. Huge comfortable bed. Great free parking over the bridge. Bathroom very small and difficult to manoeuvre, needs a lock too, as the door swings open everytime you try to move. Stairs are difficult to manage if you have any physical restrictions.

The cottage was very close to the beach and convenient to walk out and go for a swim first thing before the beach filled up with holiday makers. As described the cottage is cosy and over 3 floors and you need to be okay with climbing up and down the narrow, steep stairs with a turn in them. The kitchen is well equipped, there is even an ice maker, but there is no freezer of freezer space in the fridge which was tricky as we had brought some supplies for the freezer . The bathroom has a decent shower and a heated towel rail. I agree with some of the reviews that the sink is quite large for the room and gets in the way when you get in and out of the shower. The bedroom has a comfy bed and a wardrobe and dressing table with a hair dryer supplied. There is a small thing to be aware of - the wooden key box juts out and we both knocked our heads on it at different times when straightening up from loading the dish washer - it would be a good idea to move the box to the left or move it higher up - which would stop this from happening. Overall we had a good week and this cottage was a good base for us.

Absolutely amazing time.perfect location, great communication between us and the owners. Even though it’s a tiny cottage it was perfect Size, and very cute and quirky which we wanted over modern. The only let down and disappointment was the fact the cottage was very unclean… The bathroom was very dirty, hairs on shower rack, toilet and sink dusty and unclean.. floors gritty ,went to hoover and found vacuum blocked.. Looking back over reviews this has been a regular complaint.. If we could guarantee it was up to a cleaner standard, we would highly recommend and use you again.. As we had a great time with the added bonus of getting engaged.. Kind regards

Lovely location. Perfect for exploring Looe and for getting up to watch sunrise from the beach.

I wanted to love this property but it hadn't been cleaned thoroughly for quite some time - thick accumulated dust in corners of stairs, skirting boards, ledges, shelves and mouldy bread in bread bin, dust covered bread maker, I could go on - would have been a good candidate for 'Four in a bed' programme. Very tricky stairs which had no working lights so dangerous and you need to be 'smallish' to execute them and the bathroom - almost impossible to wash and dry oneself without having the door to the sitting room open. To be fair the House Manager and Peter did their best by replacing one light and getting a cleaner in to go over some of it again but what it really needs is a thorough deep clean and some repairs - hole in kitchen ceiling held together by parcel tape!! Rather disappointing for my first holiday in 3 years.

Absolutely brilliant property with a perfect location. Had everything you could ask for, very comfortable and an ideal location.

Lots of effort has been put into furnishing this tiny cottage but it would be easily improved by taking away two superfluous chairs from the kitchen to allow you to get your knees under the table. So many sharp knives on the kitchen wall make it look like an abattoir. Biggest drawback is the large round basin in the shower room which takes up too much room and doesn't have a plug so you can't have a wash in it, only clean your teeth. Nice bedroom, and overall a cute cottage for two in a really convenient place for beach and shops.

Renting the property was easy and good will rent again great location by the beach and shops in looe

Would definitely stay again. Stairs are steep, but did get used to them, as long as you have full mobility. Bed really comfy, and kitchen had everything you would need. 5☆

Could be a lovely cottage but we found the kitchen worktops could do with a good clean and the stairs ,other wise lovely cottage

Great location for Looe. The cottage is great for 2 people with everything to hand. The stairs maybe a problem to the elderly or anyone with mobility problems.

The cottage is ideally placed in Looe. Just back from the beach, and secluded enough that the only noise you might get is from the gulls. There are a couple of nice coastal walks nearby, and there are lots of places to eat and drink nearby (Catch is great for fish and chips), plus a great fishmongers. Only thing I'd say is that being a fisherman's cottage, it's 3 rooms situated over 3 floors, and the stairs are quite narrow and a little steep (though there are bannisters and hand-rails) in case you're not into that kind of thing. Other than that, highly recommended

What a delightful time we had in the little fisherman cottage. It was perfectly located. It had everything we needed and more. I would recommend this which is right in the heart of LOOE and if you do go make sure you eat at the Smugglers Cott!!Brilliant time :)

Lovely little house in brilliant location for big walks, lovely pubs and amazing pasties!! Really friendly reception from everyone we came across in Looe, Polperro and the villages nearby.

Loved this property a real home from lots of hand wash, soaps and cleaning products provided, didn't feel like a normal property let. When we arrived into Looe followed the instructions to the house dropped our luggage off then popped back to the parking bay, its a good ten minute walk but we did our big shop on the way to Looe so were all set up for the first few days. First impression's what a lovely clean well equipped cottage washer dryer, ice making machine plenty of crockery just perfect, we were a little worried about the stairs as they are so steep but after a couple of days we had it mastered. I loved being right in town, walking round the harbour after tea, beach, shops, restaurants everything on your doorstep. I would highly recommend this cottage if I could change or add anything maybe a small bistro table and chairs for outside and a more powerful shower :)

The position of this cottage is perfect. I do not recall any mention of the property being over three floors, the incredibly steep staircases and the tiny bathroom, my partner was unable to dry himself in the bathroom and hit his knees on the radiator when using the loo and he is fairly tall but not overly large. That being said the property had good kitchen facilities (we only cooked breakfast) and was perfectly adequate for our 3 night stay. Visible dust around the property particularly on the stairs and dirty corners in the bathroom,

GREAT POSITION LOVELY LITTLE COTTAGE. LOOE IS BEAUTIFUL. WE ENJOYED OUR STAY

Lovely cottage everything we needed was there lovely place and a great location

Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Very quaint accommodation. Thank you

Compact and bijou

No problems at all only thing was the stairs but hey it’s a quirky cottage loved it

Very quaint!

Fab property, fantastic location 5 mins walk from the beach, shops and lots of lovely restaurants & cafes. Cottage was spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything we could have needed. Bed linen & towels were changed after our first week by the housekeeper. Would recommend this place to stay, we loved it!!

Excellent location and tastefully furnished with all mod cons. Tiny bathroom but overall excellent

Stairs very steep Couldn't take suitcases to bedroom Property very near beach & quaint

We loved Looe and the parking space was a great added bonus. We knew the property had steep stairs between each floor but every inch of space was used effectively and it was nicely decorated, if a little ‘busy’. It is unfortunate we have to report that it wasn’t very clean, with big balls of dust on the floor, the back of the loo seat, the shelving in kitchen etc. My husband has asthma and every morning when we got up he’d have huge sneezing fits! Understand the place is too small and awkward for a normal hoover, but a hand-held one would be ideal. We also left a message for Dilly on arrival about the ice maker not working, but never got an acknowledgement. Finally, the mattress is very lumpy. All that said, we had a lovely time in Looe and the location of the property couldn’t have been better.

Well equipped, and within walking distance of a lovely beach and harbour, and plenty of good places to eat. It wasn't easy to find as the directions were a bit vague. The key point that wasn't clear is that after turning right (as you have to) at the end of the one-way Middle Market Street, you then need to take the very next turning on the right, with the church on your left and ignoring the sign that says "Unsuitable for motors". You then park by the far end of the church, and the cottage is just along the street in front of you, on the right-hand side. The bed is quite comfortable if a little lumpy. The stairs are very steep and very narrow. Excellent to have a reserved parking spot, even if the parking permit was out of date. Dilly the caretaker assured us that there wouldn't be a problem, and there wasn't. The cottage has wi-fi, although the information we were sent says both that it does and that it doesn't. The signal is strong and easily enough to stream video - a good thing because the Freeview signal is quite poor. Things to get out and do: - Boat trip from Looe Harbour, round St George's Island. Moderate value at £9 per person for a 45-minute trip. - The Hurlers stone circles, and nearby Trethevy Quoit and King Doniert's Stone, near Minions on the edge of Bodmin Moor. Well worth the visit, beautiful countryside and impressive ancient stones. Free parking and access. - Scenic Looe Valley railway to Liskeard. A beautiful journey; but at the other end the centre of Liskeard is really not worth the 15-minute walk from the station. Especially on a Sunday (when we did it) as almost nothing is open, and the same appears to be the case on bank holidays. Recommended places to eat: - Sarah's pasty shop serves pasties that are as good as any we have ever had. - The Plough on the Quay - we enjoyed this so much, we went there twice. It's important to book though, especially at the weekend. - The Smuggler's Cott. - Catch for fish and chips. - We also enjoyed 'do it yourself' cream teas, using absolutely fantastic scones from Martin's Dairy bakery (opposite the car park at the eastern end of the bridge).

The cottage is adorable and exactly how it looks in the pictures. It is spotlessly clean (I even checked under the bed!) and well kept. The kitchen is extremely well equipped for dining in and very spacious. The staircase is tiny (as you would expect from a fishermans cottage) so I couldn't take my huge suitcase upstairs but this was not a problem as it tucked away neatly in the kitchen. The bathroom is also on the small side (again to be expected from a fishermans cottage) but is immaculately clean. We did find that we were unable to close the bathroom window properly once we had opened it so perhaps this is something that might be addressed. The living room is perfectly proportioned and is well stocked with a range of books and DVD's should you fancy staying in. The bedroom was the best part of this cottage. So light and airy. The bed is very comfy and the bed linen is good quality. Larger than expected and a great amount of storage space. The cottage is in a great location. Seconds from the sea, great pubs (The Bullers Arms is our firm favourite) and a fantastic Indian takeaway. The communication and instructions for getting to the cottage and the parking was spot on. We had no issues in finding the property or our allocated parking space. All in all we had an absolutely fantastic stay in Looe and would 100% recommend this property. We will definitely be returning :)

From the fits of hysterics trying to get out suitcases up the narrow and steep staircases right through to the fun of bringing them down again we had a lovely time at Birds Nest Cottage. Fantastic location in the centre of Looe, close to all the lovely restaurants. The cottage is excellently equipped with everything you could need during your stay. I can't recommend this place enough, just be prepared for the 5:30am seagull alarm call from the roofs of Looe.

we had a good holiday thanks. There were a few issues with the accommodation you may want to address. The shower head needs replacing as it is leaking and makes showering tricky. Also the shower seems to be leaking onto the floor of the kitchen as there was water on the floor of the kitchen after a shower. One of the chairs in the living is broken so you cannot sit on it and needs replacing. Ian
