  We loved our stay at Elmbank, a lovely big 3 storey home with absolutely everything you need for a home from home stay.

  Perfect for a family or group of friends as the house is so big. Spotlessly clean with access to plenty of towels and bedding if required. The views overlooking Looe Harbour were spectacular day and night, and as the weather was perfect we loved sitting on the front patio with a bottle of wine. You have use of a bbq, and there are all sorts of things to help with your day on the beach, such as wind breakers, cooler bags, buckets/spades etc, even a trolley to help with carrying it all back and fore. The home has a smart TV so you can access your Netflix and Apple TV accounts, surround sound sonos speakers and plenty of comfortable seating for the nights spent indoors. The kitchen and utility room is equipped for all of your needs, nothing has been forgotten. There's also a small travel hairdryer. The only negatives was the walk up the hill from looe town/beach especially on arrival with heavy luggage and bags, as there was no way our car would fit on the road up to the house. We are fairly fit so it was OK, I wouldn't let it put you off, but we nearly brought our parents who would not have been able to manage the hill every day. The car was parked in the long stay car park, which was again fine for us, as we didn't use tbe car all week as the weather was amazing, and we used the train to travel out of Looe (recommended) but if you have typical British wet weather you would need to walk for about 10 to 15 mins to get the car. Also the garden area needs some tlc, with maybe some extra seating/ sun loungers as it really is a gorgeous sun trap garden. I say these are negatives but they're not the end of the world and won't spoil your stay. We would definitely come back to Elmbank it really is a lovely house to spend your holiday in.

  If you are driving to this property, please do not make the same mistake as me, it will taint your experience. Do not attempt to drive your car to the property (particularly any car larger than a corsa, fiesta, micra etc…) Book Pete in advance he is a super friendly chap who provides an excellent service. He will deliver your luggage to the door for only £8 (subject to change) You can find him on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/1AvZjb6zrA/?mibextid=wwXIfr (+44 7810 644449‬). My advice to you, is park at the Millpond carpark as suggested by the host and transport your belongings via Pete. If you attempt to drive your vehicle to the property, expect to scratch both sides badly. Otherwise, the cottage is perfect, very cosy, reasonably equipped (I managed to make a full Christmas Dinner). The walk into Looe takes about 10mins (max) down hill. I guess if you struggle with steep inclines, going back to the cottage might be a challenge. Looe is a lovely place with a wonderful beach, great walking routes, friendly people and amazing pasties (try Sarah’s pasties). I will return as it’s a perfect getaway.

  A wonderful property with a stunning view to while away a few hours watching life on the estuary and viewing the sunset.

  The house had been cleaned thoroughly before arrival, so felt really comfortable in these strange times. So good to have quality king size beds and mattresses to ensure a good nights sleep, with the seagulls providing a natural alarm clock. Like other comments, this is a lovely period house but the road to the house was designed for a horse and cart more than the modern car, great as no traffic to disturb you, but would only attempt it if you have a small car. The town is very busy this year, so book restaurants and trips ahead to avoid disappointment. My tip is that as there is a short but very steep hill to climb out of the town centre back to the house, take some bags with you and bring a few groceries back each time you go out. Better still book a fishing trip on one of the boats advertising on the quayside and catch your own supper. Overall we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to anyone looking for a holiday in Looe.

  This is a lovely little cottage, perfect location.

  Sadly we had to come home a day early, due to an operation cancellation. This was a little frustrating because we were having the most perfect time. Siobian was so so lovely as were our neighbours, The grounds were so lovely for our dogs who also had the best time. Everything was just a stones throw away. The chickens were also very polite, they popped over for a chat one evening. The owners are big animal lovers and were so accommodating. The only down fall was the allocated parking spot as I had to pick up my puppy from the grass area to pop her in the car,(she doesn't like travelling!) and due to the parking position I had to step on the mini slate wall to get to the car which wasn't cemented or stable and I fell with her in my arms hurting my knee quite badly,(so dont repeat my mistake) apart from that they couldn't do anything more to make this little bolt hole perfect.

  Absolutely beautiful cottage, felt like home as soon as we arrived.

  Owners were really helpful and nothing to much trouble. Erin Cottage is delightful, but has everything you need. Grounds are kept beautifully maintained . Local shops are a couple of minutes in the car or a short walk and well stocked. Asda delivery is available here, we arranged for the morning after our arrival to save troubling the owners, no substitute which was great. We took our dog and I have to say he was welcome everywhere which was a welcomed suprise. Great places to eat, local fish and chips - Kelly's was great. For something special Talland bay hotel was amazing, fabulous views and free chicken for the dog was a lovely touch. Would highly recommend Cardwen Holiday Cottages, cottages to suit different holiday groups or needs or the fab farmhouse..all decorated beautifully, no dark and dinghy here.
