  Both pros and cons to this cottage! One of the twin mattresses was awful and needs replacing immediately, it creaks and groans and you can feel every spring. It was really uncomfortable & noisy! Under the twin beds hadn’t been dusted or mopped. Pans are no longer non stick & should be replaced. Bed runners (twin) were dirty and hadn’t been cleaned between guests. Pills (twin) are flat & need replacing. Double bed was too short for a man of 6’ 2”. However, the cottage is excellently located, a 16-minute walk to Padstow town centre. It was very convenient to have parking spaces as parking in Padstow itself looks a nightmare. We had a delivery from Sainsbury but there is a Tesco up the road. Hob is induction which is far better than the electric you find in most holiday cottages! Plenty of plates & glasses etc although we had to wash them on arrival. Lots to do in Padstow, it’s a really good location for a couples or family holiday. We also did a 5km walk from the town, and walked to St George’s Cove, from the cottage. Just be warned, if you have a child, every stair & upstairs floorboard creaks; it was impossible to ‘creep’ out having got my daughter to sleep without waking her. There is a downstairs single but it’s right next to the lounge area so not great for noise, plus from a safety perspective I don’t like having a child downstairs with adults upstairs. All in all, a decent stay, but could have been so much better with a few small tweaks and a bit more care, especially considering what it cost.

  We had an amazing holiday staying at Ferry View Cottage. The property was in a great location with a beautiful view over Looe and Looe River. The sitting room had a big window where you could look out while relaxing on the sofa. The cottage was in the quieter side of Looe (West Looe), which we preferred, and it had an amazing local store within an easy walking distance (5 min), which was open till 7pm. It had everything you ever needed for your holiday stay, and it also had a good delicatessen within. East Looe, where most of the shops and restaurants were, was also easy to walk to from the cottage, and this was perfect for our teenagers who could just go out by themselves. There is a large outhouse opposite the front door to store your water activity gear, which is where you'll find your freezer and washing machine. The cottage is near beaches, rivers, walks, activity facilities, which we took full advantage of. However, I would just warn you that the cottage is on a very steep uphill narrow road, as mentioned on the website, so if you have a wider-than-your-average car, you would not be able to enter the road. Other than that, we loved staying there and I would highly recommend this cottage!

  We had a great stay for my mums 70th birthday getaway, however a couple of issues were picked up. Toilet seat in main bathroom was broken on arrival which we did report. Cleaning could have been a little better, dusty skirting boards, remainders of cereal left in the bottom of the kitchen bin which we noticed when putting a bin liner in and black damp mold residue on the top of the under sink cupboard door in the twin en-suit. Radiator on the ground floor hallway was constantly hissing/whistling despite trying to turn it down/up/off. Also we didnt see any tea towels in the kitchen, however when unpacking clothes we did see two in the wardrobe which appeared to be clean. It was a great stay and fabulous shops and restaurants, none of the above issues ruined our stay, just to be aware that there is only one space at the property which the road to the property is very narrow, although dad did get his Sportage up there very carefully, however if you do not mind the walk there is a paid carpark on the key.

  This is a lovely cottage, with plenty of space. The living area is fantastic open and airy with delightful views over Looe. The sitting area and balcony is great. The kitchen is very well equipped and there’s plenty of space to store your food and supplies. We all found the beds very comfortable and the storage for clothes was very good . The lower rooms felt a bit a damp and chilly so we put on the heating in the evenings. Both showers were really good pleats of hot water and good pressure. The house is up a very narrow sloping road that is quite challenging and if you have a very large car or an anxious driver it would be very difficult and stressful. There are steep steps down to the cottage too. Which if you had a mobility issues or had small children or babies wouldn’t be ideal. The location for everything is fab though. Easy to walk around Looe, get the bus or the ferry. shops , beaches and restaurants are lovely friendly people everywhere. Definitely would recommend
