The Boat House in Looe is highly praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and prime location. Guests appreciate the well-maintained property with thoughtful touches and modern facilities, contributing to a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviewers consistently mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as 'spotless', 'clean and comfortable', and 'pretty clean'. The high standard of cleanliness contributes significantly to the positive experiences of guests.

The location is frequently highlighted as excellent, being central with easy access to shops, restaurants, and the beach. Its proximity to public transport and parking facilities further enhances its appeal.

Guests find The Boat House very comfortable, with special mentions of a comfy bed and well-furnished interiors. A few guests noted the background hum from a Positive Pressure Unit and the challenging staircase, slightly impacting the comfort score.

The property is well-equipped with modern amenities like reliable WiFi and streaming services on TVs. The high-quality bathroom and kitchen facilities are appreciated. However, the staircase received negative comments for being narrow and potentially unsafe, affecting the score.

While many reviews express satisfaction with the property's attention to detail and the owner's considerate communication, there is no specific mention of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness based on the provision of gifts.

    Our second visit and was very happy to be back again. Very clean with bright decor. Bathroom has been updated and is lovely with a very professional finish. Altogether a great little place to stay for a short break and during holiday season perfect location for walk back after a few glasses of wine !!
