Guests say
High Tide in Looe offers a comfortable stay with good views and a convenient location close to town. Guests appreciate the well-equipped property and its peaceful setting, despite some noting the decor is dated. The property's hillside position provides a good workout, and while parking is available, it may require a short walk.
Reviews indicate that while immediate surfaces were clean, there are concerns about dust, mould, and a general need for a deeper clean. The exterior and windows were described as poorly maintained and filthy.
The property is praised for its great location close to town. However, some guests found the access challenging and the beach further than expected. The presence of noisy crows and misleading views were also noted.
Guests found the property comfortable, with a particularly comfortable bed in the master bedroom. However, issues with noise from crows and a lack of WiFi impacted the overall comfort for some.
The property is well-equipped, but there are significant concerns about maintenance, including a problematic boiler, broken garden furniture, and issues with the TV. The lack of WiFi was also a drawback for guests.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Mrs Raynor
Although the space itself was appropriate for infants and children, I would argue that the access makes it very inappropriate. Having to either park temporarily in a less than ideal spot and climb the unguarded large slippery steps and path with my 8month old, and 83 year old mother, or to go down the even slippery steps and path to where the car was parked, made it stressful to leave the apartment and arrive home each day. The details suggested it was very near the beachfront, however due to the trees you could not see any water at all, and the beach seemed much further away than was stated. The tvs both seemed to have trouble working. There was no WiFi, and signal was poor so not even able to use data very easily. Overall I was disappointed with the choice, and will not be likely to book with Original Cottahes again, based on this experience.

I would not recommend and will say that unless damp and mould problems are dealt with it should be removed from your letting service if my daughter had come with us we would have ended up in hospital because the mould sets her asthma off sleeping on Brecon beacon with no tent is more inviting than the cottage
